Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

My father opened his mouth to say something, looking mortified that Elliot was actually standing up for me. To be honest, I was kind of shocked by this. Nobody has ever stood up for me before, not even Gavin. My cheeks flushed at the sentiment, and I found myself wanting to lean into him and soak in his warmth and scent.

"If you'll excuse us," Elliot said, taking my arms and starting to pull me away but my father stopped us once again.

"I wanted to discuss the recent attacks," he called after us.

"Alpha, we are at a ball right now. I'd rather not discuss business." He said calmly.

My heart was thrumming from that interaction. My father was left in shock.

"Elliot," another voice said once we were far. "You didn't come to find me. I was looking all over for you!"

Shirley walked through the crowd and in our direction. Her smile faltered slightly when she saw me standing beside him.

"Oh, hello there, Silver. It's a pleasure to see you again," she said, her fake smile never leaving her lips. Then, she turned back to Elliot and looped an arm through his. "I hope you don't mind if I steal your husband for a little while. We have much to discuss and there are some Alphas we must speak to."

I frowned as I looked up at Elliot.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He sighed and looked back.

"It'll only be a little while. How about you do some mingling as well," he suggested.

"Oh, uh... okay," I said, forcing a smile.

Shirley kept her hold on Elliot as they

walked away My chest tightened as

I watched the two of them. Per

vel.net

usual, Shirley was dressed beautifully and between her incredible form and model-like features and his strong physique and handsomeness, they tooked like an incredible couple.

Jealousy burned in the pit of my stomach as they walked towards a group of Alpha's and started speaking with them. I hated that, Shirley was still touching Elliot. Her arm was looped with his the entire time and he was just letting her hang onto his arm like her life depended on it.

At one point, they started to laugh, and Shirley put her hand on his chest.

I was seeing red as I glared at them. I needed to step away before I lost my temper and made a fool out of myself in front of everybody.

They were already talking for about 10 minutes and the conversations didn't seem to be getting any less. He probably wouldn't even notice if I slipped away for a little while. I decided to walk away and find a bathroom or something.

What I wasn't expecting was for Stella to be in the bathroom powdering her nose.

I froze at the doorway and just as I was about to turn around and leave, her voice stopped me.

"Saw that your husband is with Alpha Shirley. Honestly, it's probably for the best that she takes him out of your hands. You'd never be able to handle a man like Elliot anyway," Stella said, her eyes fixed on her reflection while she applied a new layer of lip gloss.

"They are just friends," I said, folding my arms across my chest.

She rolled her eyes.

"Keep telling yourself that, sweetie. But allow me to give you some sisterly advice Walk away with the little dignity you have left because this isn't going to end well for you The weak ones never get what they want and Hun... you are the weakest of the bunch. Don't forget who you are, Silver. A wolfless freak; Elliott could never love. But Shirley on the other hand, it's impossible not to love her. He was with her once; he will be with her again soon enough."

I was fuming by the end of this conversation. I wanted to lunge at her, but I was too frozen to move. She turned to face me as she put her gloss, powder, and mascara back into her purse.
