Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

I shook my head, not feeling very hungry right now. Not with the tension my wolf was suddenly carrying.

"I'll grab some food later," I told him. "Do you have any leads?" I wanted to talk business; the reason I was there in the first place. I wanted to cut out the small talk.

"No," Sampson said, lowering himself back into his seat. "But we have a pack meeting later this afternoon. Everybody will be there. I'm also planning on having a ceremony for the Delta who passed away tomorrow."

"I'll be there as well," I said, sitting down in one of the chairs. "Does my Beta have permission to go through your security footage?"noveldrama

"Yes, of course. Whatever he needs," Sampson said. "I really appreciate your help."

I nodded, staring around his office. It was simple, with modern decorations. There was a picture of a gorgeous blonde on his desk, and I only assumed that was his mate, Lucy. I hadn't met her yet, but I've heard that there was a Luna who was running around here somewhere, busy with packmate problems.

"So, how long have these rogue problems been happening?" I asked, trying to distract my mind.

"Only this past week," he replied. "We've never had any issues before. It came out of nowhere. As far as I know, we are the only pack in the area with these issues. It almost seems like they are looking for something, or someone."

"Do you have any suspicions of what that could be?" I asked. "What changed this past week that could cause them to target your pack?"

Sampson shook his head, running his fingers through his hair; I could see the tiredness and frustration on his face. It was clear that he hadn't been sleeping either.

"Nothing comes to mind," he muttered. "At least not this week. I mean, last week we got a new Gamma warrior, but she's been great..."

My ears perked immediately, and my wolf was on edge, listening intently. A new Gamma warrior, a female one?

"A new gamma?" I asked.

He looked at me and was about to say something, but then the door opened, and Aiden walked in.

"Sampson, you're needed in the conference center before the meeting," he said, interrupting the conversation. He paused when he saw me seated. "Sorry for the interruption, Alphas," he added to us both.

"It's not a problem," Sampson said before I could utter a single word. "I'll head there now." He then glanced at me. "I'll see you at the meeting."

I nodded; I wanted to ask more questions, but I chose not to. I just watched him go, a furrow to my brows.

For the rest of the morning, I helped Taylor get into the security system, and then got my Gammas set up around the pack. I wasn't able to get around the whole pack, but I was able to meet a few of the packmates who looked a bit star-struck to see me. I realized they weren't used to being around a powerful Lycan chairmen; it's not like Levi ever came around these parts. The thought irritated me; I mean, they were Levi's wolves... he should be here at least once a month to make sure they have everything needed and to make sure their Alpha is taking care of them. But Levi completely neglected the packs that were out of his way, which is the only reason I'm allowed here.

"You must be Alpha Landry," a female voice said as I approached the packhouse

to check on Taylor's progress.

I stopped to see a small blonde with brightly dazzling clothing standing nearby. She had a curious gaze in her eyes, and her lips were tipped into a small smile. I recognized her from the picture in Sampson's office.

"Luna Lucy, I presume?" I asked.

She nodded.

"It's good to finally meet you. Sorry it's taken me so long; I've been busy. I'm sure you can understand," she told me. Things have been difficult here; meeded to make sure everyone who faced loss knew that they weren't alone."

I nodded, understanding.

"They are lucky to have you, Luna," I told her, and I genuinely meant that.

"Please, call me Lucy," she said. "My mate spoke proudly about you. I think he's starstruck."

I wasn't sure what to say about that, but before I could say anything, my wolf nearly surged forward. I pulled him back before it was made noticeable; what the fuck was that about??

If Lucy noticed, she didn't say anything; her attention was drawn elsewhere.

"Oh, there you are!" She said happily. "I was just introducing myself to Alpha Landry. Come over here!"
