Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

I had heard about Charlotte; she has the power to see into the future and the past. She's a priestess of the Moon Goddess and debarked on a journey to travel the world a few years ago. I hear she doesn't come around here that often, but Elliot is still in touch with her. Though I had never seen him on the phone with her and he had never actually brought her up to me. But it's known that they were close at one point.

As the afternoon continued, we traveled into lighter topics. They asked me about my occupation, what I like to do for fun, my favorite type of flowers, my favorite color, and even my favorite foods. They truly wanted to get to know me; as time went on, even Alison started to warm up to me.

In return, I learned a lot about them as well. Emma and Alison grew up in this pack and know all of the tea that goes on around town. Cara grew up as the Beta daughter in the Howling pack a few hours away from here. She was traveling with her father and Alpha for business to this pack when she met Gamma Erik and found out he was her mate.

That was a little over a year ago and she's been here ever since. She has a good relationship with her family, and they still talk all the time. Because of their joining, they have a pretty strong alliance with the Howling pack.

We shared many laughs and memories, and it was a pretty good day. I told them about my best friend Rebecca and suggested we all hang out together.

"I need to use the restroom," I said, standing to my feet.

"Use the one upstairs. The one downstairs is being worked on," Emma warned.

"Thanks," I said as I walked into the packhouse.

I found the stairway and made my way up the stairs and into the bathroom. Once I finished, I left the bathroom and headed back to the stairs, but I paused when I saw Shirley walking up the stairway. Her eyes flashed to me, and an alarmed look crossed her face before it morphed into a smirk.

"Mrs. Stormwind. What brings you here?" She asked, raising her brows as she reached the top step.

"I was just using the restroom," I told her. "I'm having brunch with a few ladies from the pack. Also, it's Mrs. Crown. Or Luna Crown."

I started to walk around her, but she put her hand out, stopping me in my tracks.

"It won't be Mrs. Crown for long. Once Elliot comes to his senses, he will divorce you. He's just confused right now but it won't last forever." "What makes you sure of this Miss Shirley?" I asked her, raising my brows. "He didn't seem very confused last night when we made love."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

It was a bold statement, but once the words left my lips, there was no taking them back. Her face grew impossibly red, and she looked furious.

"You are lying," she said, folding her arms across her chest as she stared at me. "Elliot wouldn't touch you with a ten-inch pole. He told me himself that the marriage was for convenience. It's nothing more than a contract. What's he's done with you, he'll divorce you and marry me like it should have been a long time ago."

The memory of Elliot and Shirley talking in his office invaded my mind. My cheeks warmed at the thought of him admitting to another woman that his marriage with me was only a contract. But I had no reason to not believe her based on what I heard him saying and there was no other way she would know this information.

I squared my shoulders, not allowing her to see me break.

"It might be a contract but that doesn't mean love can't develop down the line. Don't be too quick to mark your claim on Alpha Elliot, Miss Shirley," I told her cooly.

Her mouth nearly fell open and as I walked around her, she grabbed my arm forcefully, I winced at the strength of her hand wrapped around my wrist, knowing it was going to leave a mark.

"You bitch," she hissed.

She began to pull me toward the stairwell and panic started to rise in my chest as I struggled against her. "What are you going to do? Throw me down the stairs? Is that really the image you want?" I asked, breathlessly. She paused for a moment and then a grin spread across her lips.

Then she spoke loudly, "Mrs. Crown, I don't want to come between you and your husband! Please don't!!!!"

Confusion slammed into me as my brows pinched together and then to my utter disbelief. She released her hold on me, and she fell backward down the stairs.
