Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Judy's POV

The thought of Gavin with another woman physically hurt. The thought that he was so in love with her that he was planning on proposing, nearly destroyed me. My wolf's reaction came out of nowhere; I had to restrain her as she pushed forward, wanting to go for a run to release some of this pent-up tension. The reaction was confusing for her as well and she didn't know how to respond to the fact that Gavin was once in love with someone else.

My stomach ached at the very thought, and I had to take steady deep breaths to calm myself and my wolf.

Irene studied me for a long while, trying to figure out how I was feeling and gauging my reaction.

"That was a long time ago though," she told me, trying to sound reassuring. "He's different ow. He's almost back to being that happy self again. Even Matt's noticed it and we know it's because of you, Judy."

I looked at her, frowning. I wasn't sure what to say to that; my mind was still wrapping around the thought of Gavin with another woman, loving her... proposing to her... losing her.

He must have been so heartbroken.

I wonder if he would talk to me about her if I asked... then again, was it my place o ask him anything?

Irene reached over and took a hold of my hand.

"I wasn't telling you this so you can doubt yourself, I'm telling you this, so you know that if he doesn't' warm up to you right away, it's not your fault. It's not that he doesn't care... or won't ever fall in love again, it's just that he's afraid to fall in love. Everyone he fell in love with eventually dies. He probably thinks he's cursed or something."

She nodded.

I am... As would Matt if he knew," she said, her tone growing a bit sad at the very thought of Mathew. "Do you think he'll ever not hate
