Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

Silver's POV

"I'm looking for volunteers to help clean the park, are you ladies interested?"

Cara looked at the others with a frown before looking back at me. Her nose was wrinkled, and she looked utterly disgusted by the idea.

"You mean clean trash and get dirty?"

I frowned and folded my arms across my chest.

"Yes, exactly. The park is disgusting, and the children don't have a safe place to just hang out and play. I want to make the park that safe place," I told them.

"But rogues tend to hang out there," Alison told me, her nose also wrinkled.

"It's pack territory," I reminded them. "Elliot already approved to have gammas keep guard of that area and once a couple of gammas are assigned, we will go there and start cleaning up the place. It's for the children," I told them. When they didn't say anything, I sighed. "Look, I'm the Luna and I need people to help me. I was hoping I could count on you guys."

Cara sighed and ran her fingers through her short blonde hair.

"Fine," she finally relented. "We will help you. I'll try to get some others as well. When do you want us there?"

"I was thinking we could get started on Saturday at noon," I told them.

They all gasped and looked almost horrified; it was almost comical.

"Why a Saturday?" Cara whined.

I shrugged.

"Because most are available on Saturdays," I told her.

After a moment she finally groaned out her agreement.

I smiled.

"I knew I could count on you ladies," I said, winking as I turned and walked back to my office.

I spent most of the day in meetings

with different packmates. I thought it would be a lot harder to win them over and get them to trust me, but honestly all they really wanted was for someone to listen to their

problems and offer themsel

Most of them were pretty kind

towards me; probably because they worried what Elliot would do if they

weren't, but I was expecting the

worst.

Some were a bit hostile, but after spending an hour with me in my office, they started to warm up to me. I only want them to trust me; everything else I will figure out as I go.

I had lunch with Cara and the girls in

the community dining hall and I could hear chatter all around the area of people enjoying their meals and liking the new menus that have been provided. Even Mariah seemed happier with the new meal choices. I tried to give a different variety of foods for those with different tastes and I also planned for healthier

dishes as well. Mariah was more than happy to get her staff on board and start creating the dishes I've recommended.

One by one I was able to check things off my to-do list and make some actual progress, along with gaining the trust of my packmates, especially the women. I knew once the women trusted me, it wouldn't take much to get the men to trust me, especially because most of these men were mated to these women. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

As the day went on, I started to get a bit of cabin fever. I yawned tiredly and leaned back in my seat. I looked back at the clock and saw that it was almost supper time.

I stood from my desk and left my office; I hadn't seen Elliot all day today and I wanted to see if he'd like to have lunch with me. But as I walked toward his office, I paused when I heard voices inside the door. It wasn't just Elliot in his office; Shirley was there too.

My stomach twisted. I knew he spent time with her while training earlier, but did he really have to spend time with her in his office?

I knocked on the door and their talking seemed to have stopped.
