Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

Silver's POV

There was someone else out there like me. I wasn't alone and yet I felt more alone than ever. There was no way I could train my abilities because they were a mistake I should have never existed. According to Charlotte, I was supposed to die. I'm a disgrace to this nation and I pose a threat to society.

She doesn't want me with her brother because of how dangerous I am.

My father was truly right about me, and Charlotte confirmed that.

She advised her brother to leave me, but he refused. He's been distant since that conversation and days have passed since then. He's been held up at the office quite often; he doesn't come home until late at night. I'm forced to eat dinner alone with Mariah and the other palace staff.

I try to occupy my time by working in my studio and creating new art pieces for Hope's Gallery. They gave me a deadline of a couple of weeks, so I have a lot of work to do. Rebecca and my new pack friends come over to hang out sometimes. Rebecca finally met Cara and the girl and they hit it off just like I thought they would. Makes me feel good knowing my friends are now friends.

And yet, I still felt so lonely.

Shirley was hanging out with Elliot as if her life depended on it. I hated that she was the one who drugged him and she got into bed with him and yet he acted like it never happened. I wrapped my arm around my body and allowed the pain of reality to sink in. She was a longtime friend and a strong Alpha; she was always going to be in his life. I just wish he wasn't actively pushing me away.

He hasn't snuggled me in bed; he hasn't passionately kissed me since our night together in the hotel. My cheeks flushed at the memory and tears welled up in my eyes.

I woke up alone this morning, which wasn't surprising. He often comes home late and leaves early in the morning.

A knock on the bedroom door is what jolted me awake and I stretched my arms and legs before climbing out of bed and making my way to the door. When I opened it, I saw one of the maids standing before me with a large box.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Good morning, Luna," she said, bowing her head slightly to me. "Beta Leo wanted me to drop this off, per orders of the Alpha."

I frowned at the box; it was huge. What could possibly be inside of it?

"What is it?" I asked her as I helped her bring it over to my bed and set it down.

"It's a gown of course," she answered.

I opened the box and I gasped at the gorgeous red dress inside. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen; I never wore anything this elegant before. "Wow," I breathed.

"Wow indeed," she agreed.

"What's the gown for?" I asked, confused. I couldn't imagine what type of event I would wear this to.

"If I had to guess, I'd say that Alpha ball. It's tonight," she told me.

My mouth dropped open at her words. I completely forgot about the Alpha ball. Well, actually, I've never been invited to go before. My father made it a point to keep me shunned from anything and everyone. I was never allowed to go to such an event in the past. Stella, on the other hand, on been numerous times. Gavin promised me that he would take me this year, but we broke up before he could get the chance. It wasn't even in my mind until this very moment.

My heart swelled at the thought of Elliot taking me to the ball.

Not before long, there was another knock on the door. I hadn't realized the maid had left until someone else entered my room. I turned, surprised to see Alison standing at my

doorway with a duffel bag.

"I was called to make the Luna look spectacular for tonight," she told me, her eyes knitted together. "Why do you look as if you had seen a ghost."

"I just wasn't expecting you here. You startled me," I admitted.

She waved me off and stepped into my room.

"I'm the pack's stylist. The Alpha wanted me to help get you ready for tonight," she told me.

I raised my brows.

"You spoke to him?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Yes; he called me personally," she told me.

My cheeks flushed and stared down at the ground.

"He's been so busy lately, I'm surprised he's even bothering," I admitted.

She stared at me like I had just grown another head.

"Well, the Alpha ball is being held in his pack this year so the pack is clustered with different Alphas, Not to mention with all these rogue attacks lately, I'm not surprised he's been busy."
