SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 8 Episode 13

I had no intention of giving Levi what he wanted.

“6 billion… going once, going twice…”

The silence was deafening.

Judy grabbed my arm, getting my attention.

“What are you doing?” She asked, her eyes wide with horror. “You’re letting him win…”

I gave her a small smile, trying to push my feelings onto her so she knew to trust me. For a moment, she just stared at me, a silent conversation between wolves. Then, her body relaxed, and she let out a breath.

“Sold to Alpha Levi Churchill,” Edward announced.

Levi stood and accepted his applause; his smile growing wide. Lila stood and kissed him on the cheek. I allowed them to bask in their victory. I gave nothing away by my expression. Levi’s eyes found mine, and I could see the slight confusion in his gaze; he didn’t expect me to give up so easily, so he was suspicious of my motive.

He sat back down, turning his attention back to the auction.

There were a few more items being auctioned, and 30 minutes later, the auction itself was ending. The guests were being guided to the banquet hall for a feast while Edward wrapped up the items and prepared the bills.

“You’re not really letting him have the gem, are you?” Judy asked once we were in the banquet hall. “Because then all of this would have been for nothing.”

I gave her a small smile as I put my hands on her shoulders, rubbing her neck with my thumbs.

“I have a plan,” I assured. “I need you to trust me. He’s not getting his hands on that gem.”

“I hope you know what you are doing…” she breathed, her eyes remaining on mine.

Before I could say anything more, I heard Levis’ voice booming as anger coursed through him, directed towards Edward.

“Why are we delaying this any further? The banquet was supposed to be held after we had made our payments for the items we purchased. Why hasn’t our money been accepted yet?”

Edward’s eyes flashed to me briefly, and I raised my brow at him, willing him to keep silent. I paid him quite a bit to stall until I said otherwise; I told him I would give him a sign once I was ready for the payments.

“I apologize, Alpha… but we were having some technical difficulties on our end,” Edward lied smoothly, though there was a tremor in his tone as nerves consumed him.

“Well, fix it,” Levi said through gritted teeth. “We don’t have all night.”

“Y…yes, Alpha.”

My phone rang, turning my attention. I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone and saw that Alpha Mica was calling.

“Mica,” I greeted into the phone.

“Hey, just wanted to reach out and let you know we will be there soon.

Jeremy and I just reviewed all the I evidence you and Beta Taylor gathered. Including the bank

statements. I had no idea it was that

bad. I knew Levi was an asshole… but to take down your entire pack like that? We agreed he needs to be stopped.”

“That’s why I’ve upon you both for help. I might be the most powerful chairman, but I still wouldn’t be able to overthrow his territory without your help. It needs to be a vote, and then he needs to be arrested.”

“We’ll make sure he never sees the light of day,” Mica said grimly. “Just hang tight.

By the end of the night, he will be in custody.”

My eyes scanned the room until they landed on Levi. His arm was around Lila,

and they were talking to a few men across the room.

I smirked as my hold on the phone tightened.

It was show time.
