Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

"I'm still running some tests, but as far as I can tell, it was only a panic attack. I'll leave you two to talk," Dr. Pierce said as she turned and walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Rachel.

I walked to the bed, my posture stiff and my eyes narrowed.

"Rachel, what happened?" I asked her, trying to keep my tone calm.

She folded her arms across her chest.noveldrama

"You didn't come home last night, and I freaked out," she admitted. "I broke a few things, and then I passed out. Next thing I knew, I was here."

"You shouldn't have freaked out," I told her, unable to hide my aggravation.

"You didn't come home!" she repeated, loudly.

"It's not your place to decide when I return to my home," I said through my teeth. You are a guest in my home, and you were disrespectful last night."

"I was worried about you! You wouldn't answer my text messages or phone calls and-"

"I was busy."

She faltered for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Is there no hope for us, Gavin?" She asked softly. "You've been cold towards me for days now. I thought we were building something. Is it because I betrayed you all those years ago? I already apologized for that and told you that the love was always there. I've always loved you..."

"Things are different now, Rachel. I agreed to give things a chance and see if we could rekindle anything...we can't. I've tried, but my heart isn't in it. So, I agreed to friendship. That's all I can give you right now. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but that's all I'm willing to give you."

"Is it because of her...?" Rachel asked, her eyes turning cold and almost calculating, causing me to freeze. "Judy?"

"Leave Judy's name out of your mouth," I practically growled; I felt my anger rising almost immediately.

"It is... isn't it. You were with her all night," Rachel said through her teeth. "That's why you reak of her scent! Did you fuck her last night?"

"You are out line."

"I think I have a right to know," she hissed. "Did you or did you not fuck Judy Montague last night."

My wolf was furious at her audacity;

he felt we

had every right to rip

Rachel's head off for disrespecting Judy in the first place. He was

uneasy over the fact that Racial ne

felt

comfortable slandering her in such a manner, and honestly, I couldn't blame him. It was taking everything I had to keep myself and my wolf under control.

Before I could reply, Dr. Pierce walked back into the room holding a small file. She was reading them, her expression hard to read.

I could practically hear her heart beating at a quickened pace, and my mind was racing, wondering what could be wrong. It was obvious something was wrong from her demeanor.

"What is it?" I asked, ignoring the look Rachel was giving me.

"Alpha, I think we should speak in private," she said, her voice sounding almost distant and at that moment, I realized her face had gone pale as well.

"Um, excuse me... if it has something to do with me, I'd like to hear it was well," Rachel said, folding her arms across her chest. "You are not about to keep me in the dark about this."

Dr. Peirce looked at her and then back at me.

I nodded, granting her permission to continue speaking openly in front of Rachel.

Dr. Pierce took a deep breath, steeling herself.

"Well, as you know, we wanted to

rule out everything. A fainting spell isn't normal for

for someone who has a

panic attack, and we wanted to be sure that's all it was. So, we took some bloodwork, along with@rine samples, and brought them to the lab for further testing," Dr Pierce explained.

"We already knew that," Rachel scoffed, rolling her eyes. Had she always been

this bitchy or am I just noticing it now? "Get on with it."

"Mind your tone," I said through my teeth; it felt like I was scolding a child.

Dr. Pierce cleared her throat and turned to Rachel before continuing.

"Well, we got the results from all tests, and they all came up with the same conclusion."

"And that is?" She asked impatiently.

"You are pregnant."
