Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 854

Judy’s POV

Waking up felt different. It wasn’t painful like I expected it to be, and I didn’t feel foggy. I just felt different. My fingers were the first to move, and then the rest of my hands, before I thought of the cushioned bed I was lying on. I recognized the scent of the room and the soft feeling of the cotton sheets beneath my almost bare body.

I was in Eliza’s clinic.

I couldn’t entirely remember what had happened earlier… but I knew it couldn’t be good if I was lying in the clinic and my eyes were having trouble opening. However, I wasn’t feeling weak… in fact, it was quite the opposite. I had this strange surge of energy surging through my veins, making me feel stronger than ever.

My breathing deepened, and I clenched my fists, feeling my fingernails digging into the palms of my hands, creating little moons.

It felt like every inch of my body had been unplugged and reconnected for the first time in my life.

My eyes blinked open slowly. The clinic ceiling came into focus first, then the warm glow of a lamp, and then there he was… sitting by my bedside, his eyes fixed on my face. I could see how worried he was when he looked down at me, and for a moment, it looked as if he had been crying.

I reached up and touched his face, making him take a sharp breath.

“Gavin…” I whispered, my voice slightly shaky. “What happened?”

“You gave me a scare… that’s what happened,” he said, his fingertips gliding up my arm, leaving goosebumps in their trails as he cupped my wrist and kissed the inside of it. And he lowered our clasped hands to my lap, his thumb gently rubbing circles around my knuckles.

“Sorry…” I said softly, making a slight smile twitch at the corner of my lips.

“You don’t have to be sorry,” he said, lowering himself and pressing his forehead against mine, inhaling a deep and steady breath. “How are you feeling?”

I hesitated as my focus began to adjust a little more and the haze of sleep started to settle…. That was a loaded question. I didn’t feel the way I thought I should. I thought I’d feel weaker, but I was wrong.

I felt strong… alert… maybe a little warm… and humming. Like something inside of me was awake and stretching after a long sleep. My wolf felt more powerful as well, and my heart raced with anticipation. I had no idea what was happening, but I knew I didn’t want it to stop.

The feeling was euphoric.

I looked up at him with wonder clear in my eyes.

“I feel… powerful,” I admitted, exhaling slowly.

“I was so worried about you,” he whispered, his eyes shutting as he processed all that had happened. “Do you remember anything?”

I bit my lip as I thought about it.

“You healed fast,” Gavin said, watching my movements. “I’m not sure what that Gem did to you… But it made you heal faster than I ever saw before.”

I blinked, confused by his words.

“How long have I been out of it for?” I asked.
