Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

"Make sure Sampson knows what?" Lucy asked as she walked into the room. "Sorry... the door was unlocked, so I figured I'd just come in. Plus, Sampson told me that Judy was here already."

"Did you know that Beta Aiden came here and interrogated Janet?" I asked her, my eyes narrowed. "And that was how she found out about her only daughter?"

Lucy's eyes widened.

"What the actual fuck?" She asked, stepping further into the room.

"He pretty much manhandled her," Stacy muttered, folding her arms across her chest. "Had her pressed against the wall and everything. I walked in on it and made him let her go. She was sobbing. I couldn't get her to speak again after he left. He broke her..."

"I won't let him get away with that shit," Lucy spat. "God, I always hated that jerk." "You, me, and both, and I've only been here a couple of weeks," I muttered.

"I came here to tell Janet that we are having a memorial for both her husband and daughter in a couple of days. We'll have a memorial for the others over the weekend, but we wanted to do something special for the Delta," Lucy said, addressing Janet, who was still seated on the couch, with more tears falling down her cheeks. “Janet, you are not alone. This entire pack is rallying behind you. We are your family. You can lean on us. More packmates will be arriving later with some homemade dishes for you. You need to eat and keep up your strength."

My heart hurt so much for Janet; she was so pretty and she was young, at least 32 years old. She was too young to be going through what she was going through.

"I'll make sure she's there, Luna Lucy,” Stacy said thoughtfully. "That's very kind of you. Thank you."

Lucy nodded before turning to me.

"Let me drive you home so you don't gotta walk. You should be resting," Lucy said, raising her brows. "You were just discharged."

She and the doctor were the only ones who knew that I was pregnant, and I knew

the look in her eyes was indicating that I should be resting for this baby.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, my eyes remaining on hers in a silent argument, one I was losing.

"Okay," I finally relented as I stood. Then, I remembered the letter in my hands. I turned to Stacy. "Walk us out?"

Stacy nodded and turned to Janet, telling her she'll be right back.

Soon, we were walking out of the house. I turned to Stacy and handed her the letter.

"Sampson wanted me to give this to her," I told Stacy. "It didn't seem like a good time, though. But I figured you could give it to her once she's ready."

"What is it?" She asked, eyeing the envelope with a frown.

"A letter from her husband, along with money... I'm assuming all his assets," I told

her. "He set it aside in case anything happened to him."

She swallowed, tears filling her eyes again as she nodded.

"You were right not to give it to her right now. I don't know if she can handle it. But hopefully soon she can. My husband and kids will be arriving here tomorrow morning, so I'm glad there will be a memorial for the Delta."

I nodded.

"Thank you for being here with her," I said softly. "You're a good sister."

"Family has got to stick together. If you can't depend on them, who can you depend on?"

Her words struck a chord in my chest; she was right. If ci couldn't depend on family, then who could depend on? It made me feel bad that I hadn't called home since landing in Redcliff. I missed my mom and dad... I missed my friends. I knew the reason I didn't call them was because I couldn't handle hearing about Gavin and his happy, engaged life... but was that really an excuse to shut them out? It's not like they did anything to deserve being ghosted. noveldrama

We said our final goodbyes, and I slid into the backseat of a car. One of the Gammas was driving; I wasn't surprised. There was no way Sampson would let Lucy drive here herself.

"Take us to Judy's house," Lucy told him.

He nodded and pulled away from

the house Typically, I would sit in the front seat with my fellow Gamma, but at this moment, wasn't there as a Gamma; I Was

there as Lucy's friend.

I made a choice as we headed towards my house; the second I got home, I was

going to call my parents.
