SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 7 Episode 74

Judy’s POV

Whatever Taylor had said made Gavin’s demeanor completely change. One

minute he was holding me and peppering my temple with soft kisses, and the next he was sitting up straight, his entire body rigid. I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves, and it put me on alert.

I sat up with him, trying to figure out his expression. He was quiet as he listened to whatever Taylor was saying; his face became stony.

“The Moon Gem belongs to my mother,” he said through my teeth. “It’s always been an important family heirloom. Why the fuck would she auction it??”

There was a pause, but I knew whatever Taylor was saying wasn’t an answer because I could see the frustration, confusion, and anger on Gavin’s face. I could feel his emotions as if they were my own.

“Clear my schedule for this Saturday. I’m going to that auction,” Gavin said, a harsh bite in his words. “I’ll be damned if I allow Levi that gem.”

Without another word, Gavin hung up the phone. His grip on the phone was so tight, his knuckles grew white; I almost worried that he would break his phone before he finally released it, allowing it to fall on the bed.

I rested my head on his arm, not wanting to be too invasive, but I also really wanted to know what had my mate so upset. I knew he didn’t love the fact that Levi was so close to his territory and that he’s apparently after his family heirloom, but that shouldn’t cause this amount of anger? Should it?

I never had an enemy like this before, so I guess I wouldn’t really know.

“You don’t have plans Saturday evening, do you?” He suddenly asked, his voice controlled.

“No, I don’t think so,” I told him, raising my brows. “Why?”

“I need you as my date to the auction,” he said, his eyes finding mine, and I could see the storm cloud in his gaze.

I nodded without hesitation.

“Of course,” I tell him.

His eyes soften slightly as he reaches his hand out and takes mine.

“Thank you,” he said softly.

“What’s the Moon Gem?” I found myself asking, hating how his body tenses from the question.

He dropped his gaze from mine.

“It was passed down to every Alpha of the Silver Crescent pack,” he said, his eyes still avoiding mine. “My father died before he could pass it to me, and my mother never felt right to pass it to me on his behalf” He said those words almost bitterly,

and I could feel the pure pain he felt.

It tore at my heart; I wanted to make things better for him, but I wasn’t sure how.

“But she feels right auctioning it?” I

asked, disbelief clouding me. I never

liked his mother… or rather, she never liked me. She always thought he’d pair better with Daisy, his fate wife’s sister. Despite his attempts to cut the ties with Daisy, his mother was relentless and barely stopped after she found out about Gavin and me. Though at the time, we were only sleeping together, she didn’t know that.

“I’m not sure what compelled her to do it,” he muttered, that angry resentment returning to his expression. “But I need to make sure Levi doesn’t get his hands on it.”

“Why? What would happen if he got his hands on it?” I asked. “Other than you losing something sentimental, because I know there’s more to it.”

His eyes met mine, and I could see the torment in them. He was in a battle with his thoughts, wondering if he should tell me… or if he should continue to hide this important element in an attempt to keep me safe.

“That gem gives him a lot of power,” he finally said after a long pause. “He could potentially take over the pack.”

“What?” I gasped. “You can’t be serious…”

Gavin looked away.

“It’s said to hold the souls of our ancestors. The one to whom it was passed down is the true Alpha.”

“But you’re the true Alpha,” I said without hesitation. “You’ve always been the Alpha… You are the most powerful Lycan in the world. There’s no way you aren’t the true Alpha.”

“I might be part of the Lycan chairmen, but my father was the last real Alpha of the Silver Crescent pack. That’s how it’s always been,” Gavin said with a slight shrug. “My mother never passed it to me.”

“Gavin, that’s Ludacris. A gem isn’t what makes you a true Alpha…” I told him, shaking my head. “Your heart does, not to mention your blood. This pack is yours.” I put my hand on his shoulder in a reassuring gesture.
