SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 5 Episode 71

“I need you to look into Samantha, the maid in the mansion,” he said into the phone; I assumed he was speaking to Beta Taylor. “I want a full report on everything she does. In the meantime, I’m having Judy stay in the villa, so go there and pack some of her things to bring to the Villa.”

My heart skipped a beat at his words.

“Tabby, Chuck, and Sherry are also at the mansion,” I told him.

He nodded as he waited for confirmation on the other end.

“She has some friends at the mansion as well. Bring them to the villa and get them settled into the guest rooms,” he continued. After a beat of silence on his end he said, “Perfect. Talk soon.”

He hung up the phone and shoved it back into his pocket.

I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding.

“It’s being taken care of,” Gavin assured me. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll have some

of my gammas keeping guard of your family home as well to make sure no danger comes to them. Consider the Montague family under Landry protection.”

“Really?” I asked, my heart racing in my chest. “You’d protect my family?”

He met my eyes, and for a moment, I thought he was about to say something, but he only nodded.

“Dad?” A soft voice said from the hospital bed, bringing our attention to Matt. His eyes were open, and he looked so weak and small in the hospital bed.

Gavin went to his bedside.

“Hey, buddy,” Gavin said, touching his face gently. “It’s okay, I’m here.”

“Where am I?” He asked, squinting his eyes.

“In the pack clinic. You’re safe,” Gavin assured him. “How are you feeling?”

“I’m okay,” he said softly. He looked down at his body curiously. “I had the craziest dream though…”

“A dream?” Gavin asked, his brows raised. “What kind of dream?”

“I don’t know… I had a dream that I shifted, and we were running around in wolf form. But that’s not possible, right?”

Gavin fell silent as he stared at Matt, and I wondered what it was that he was thinking about. I stayed back, letting them have their moment. I knew there was a lot they needed to talk about. I thought about leaving the room, but the second I started to pass the bed, Gavin shot me a look that told me to stay without him actually saying the words, so I stayed rooted to my spot.

“Matthew, that wasn’t a dream,” Gavin said softly. “You did shift. And you are right, that shouldn’t be possible. But it somehow happened, and we are still trying to figure out how.”

Matt’s eyes grew large.

“I turned into a wolf?” Matt asked, his voice hoarse. “A…are you sure?”

Gavin nodded.

“Yes,” he replied.

“How?” Matt asked, his brows furrowed. He finally noticed me standing in the distance. “Judy?”

I smiled at him.

“Hey,” I said to him, keeping my tone low.

“Did you see me turning too?” He asked.

I bit my lower lip, and then I nodded.

“It’s true, Matt,” I confirmed. “You shifted into a wolf.”

Matt let out a breath as he pulled his

eyes from mine and stared at the ceiling. He closed his eyes for the brightest moment, his small chest rising and falling and then soon his eyes were opening, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

“I can feel it… my wolf… he’s still inside me,” Matt said, touching his chest. “I can

feel him. Like he’s a part of me.”

“He is a part of you,” Gavin

confirmed: “Right now, he’s a bit wild, and it will take some time for you to work with him and learn to live with him, but we will train, and over time, it’ll get better.”

Before Matt could respond, Eliza Pierce came into the room. She smiled when she saw that Matt was awake.

“I thought I heard your voice,” she said as she strolled over to the bedside. “How are you feeling, Matt?”

“Confused…” Matt admitted, knowing that’s not what she was talking about.

Eliza nodded.

“That is to be expected. Your body

had been through something

traumatic she told him gently. “We’ve been trying to figure out how it’s possible for you to shift at young age, and I was hoping you’d be able to shed some light on the matter.”

Matt shook his head.

“How am I to know? I have no idea how I shifted…” Matt told her.

She nodded thoughtfully.

“Right, but can you tell me what happened just before your first shift? I’m almost

thinking something your wolf and that’s what caused your shift.”

Gavin snapped a look at her.

“You think something triggered him?”

I knew what triggered him, but I wanted him to be the one to tell the story.

He thought about it for a moment, thinking about the leading events that caused

him to shift, and then suddenly his eyes grew wide, and his body tensed.

“Matthew?” Gavin asked after a while, about Matt not saying anything. “What is it?”

Matt looked up at Gavin, his eyes a whirlwind of confusion.

“Dad… did… did Irene try to kill me?”
