Seducing My Ex's Father In Law Chapter 466

Judy’s POV

“We have to get him outside,” Gavin said, his face tight with worry as he stared down at Matt.

Matt was about to shift into his wolf for the first time—before even turning eight. No wolf had ever shifted before the age of eighteen. This was something neither of us ever expected… especially not with Matt. He was screaming and growling, his small body writhing as his bones broke and realigned. The pain etched into his young face was heartbreaking.

I nodded in agreement, but moving him wouldn’t be easy.

The first shift was always excruciating—but witnessing it in someone so young was absolutely gut-wrenching.

I helped Gavin lift Matt into his arms. He thrashed and screamed in agony as more bone-snapping sounds echoed around us. As we rushed out of the room, Irene stood sobbing, her hands clamped over her mouth. Something was very wrong, and a sick feeling twisted in my stomach. But I shoved it aside for now and focused on Matt.

Irene followed closely as we hurried down the stairs and out the back door. Once we were outside, Gavin gently placed Matt on the ground and stepped back. His face was filled with turmoil and fear, his eyes locked on Matt.

“It’s going to be okay,” I said softly. “He’ll be okay…”

Gavin nodded, swallowing hard. I watched his Adam’s apple bob with the effort. Matt’s howl snapped my attention back to him, just as fur began pushing through his skin. I knew it must have felt like razors slicing him open—first shifts were always brutal.

Irene stood off to the side, frozen in horror as she watched her brother transform.

It felt like an eternity before the shift was complete.

None of us knew what to say. We stared in stunned silence at his tiny wolf form—clearly the runt. He resembled Gavin’s large black wolf, only much smaller. The fury and pain once in his eyes had faded, replaced by pure shock. Even in his wolf form, I could tell Matt was still present, still aware. He looked from Gavin to me, and then locked eyes with Irene. A snarl burst from his mouth, making her stumble back.

Gavin immediately stepped in front of Irene, a low growl rumbling in his throat—warning Matt to back off.

Without delay, Gavin began stripping, making my face burn red. But he wasn’t naked for long—he shifted into his wolf to communicate with Matt more easily.

I turned to Irene, who was trembling, her face buried in her hands as she cried.

“Irene, what happened?” I asked gently, stepping aside to give Gavin and Matt space. “How did this happen?”

“It’s all my fault,” she choked out, lifting her tear-streaked face. “I opened my big, stupid mouth. He got so angry… and then he just started shifting. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“What do you mean it was your fault?” I asked, guiding her over to one of the lounge chairs on the patio. Gavin and Matt were now racing toward the forest. Matt’s movements were still shaky, but he kept pace, learning quickly with Gavin’s help.

“I told him the truth,” she whispered. “I had to. I couldn’t keep living with the lie… I had to tell him what I did.”

My stomach dropped.

“You told him you were the one who poisoned him?” I whispered.

Tears streamed down her face as she nodded.

“Yes… I couldn’t hold it in any longer. He needed to know. Oh, Judy… he hates me.”

My heart ached seeing the pain in her eyes. I wrapped her in a hug, holding her tight.

“He’ll be okay, Irene,” I said softly. “Don’t blame yourself. He’s going to be fine. He’ll forgive you. He knows you love him…”

“No, he doesn’t,” she cried.

I looked toward the forest where Gavin and Matt had disappeared. I knew they’d be gone for a while, and even when they returned, there would be a lot to unpack. Matt’s shift changed everything.

“How about we get out of here for a bit?” I offered. “We could go back to the mansion and hang out.”

She glanced toward the woods where her father and brother had vanished.

“Yeah,” she said quietly. “Maybe that’s a good idea.”

Beta Taylor got us back to the mansion in about thirty minutes. The farther we got from the villa, the more Irene seemed to settle in her seat. She was still on edge, and my heart went out to her.
