Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

Smacking her lips together she looked at me one last time.

"Don't think for a second just because you got a little recognition for your paintings that you are somebody worth anything. You are worth nothing," she said through her teeth as she stepped around me.

Anger coursed through me in waves; I needed the one person who could put me back at ease. After I finished doing my business in the bathroom, I left the ballroom and went to find Elliot. At this point, they had found a new group of Alphas, and they were dazzling. I huffed when I saw that Shirley still had her arms wrapped around his.

Then, the words that were being spoken by the Alphas they were talking to left me feeling paralyzed.

"You are quite lovely, Shirley. Alpha Elliot is a lucky man!"

"You two really should set a wedding date. You make such a lovely couple."

"The world's prettiest Luna that's for sure."

Heat rushed to my cheeks and before I knew what was happening, I was marching over to them and standing beside Elliot.

"Hello, Alphas. It's nice to meet you. I'm Silver, Elliot's wife," I said, leaning my head against his shoulder.

They all looked at one another frowning and frozen. Then, their faces grew red as realization struck them.

"I'm so sorry, I guess there was a misunderstanding," one of the Alphas said sheepishly. "It's an honor to meet you, Luna."

I smiled. I could feel Shirley glaring at me from the other side of Elliot.

"Yeah, we meant no disrespect," another Alpha said, holding up his hands in surrender.

"It's not a problem," I assured them.

"I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable, Silver," Shirley said with a pout. "It wasn't my intention. I also didn't mean to keep him away so long."

I wasn't sure what to say, so I just nodded.

She walked toward me and grasped my hands.

"How about I buy you a drink an as apology," she offered. "Then we can get to know one another a bit better."

Within a few minutes, Shirley returned with a glass of red wine. She smiled brightly at me.

"Take this as my way of saying

sorry," she said, raising her glasset

"Let's make a toast to

beginnings and new friends."

I can't see Shirley and me ever being friends, but I toasted anyway took a sip of the deep red wine, and sighed in contentment at the delicious scent and taste.

Shriley excused herself to speak to other Alphas and Elliot guided me over to a table. I sipped more of the wine as we took our seats.

"I'm sorry about Shirley earlier. I was about to say something before you showed up. I wouldn't have let that go on much longer."

I smiled at him.

"I know," I told him, putting my hand on his affectionately.

Just as I brought the wine glass to my lips once again, flashes of color went through my vision, and I gasped at the sudden feeling and sight of it. My familiar headache surfaced in my head, and I gasped,

process.

I stumbled to my feet, the chaotic lights continuing to flash in my eyes, and I let out a whimper of distress.

My entire body quivered and shook.

What was happening to me?

It wasn't the full moon yet!

Unless...

I thought back to the sweet wine I drank.

Could it be possible that there was mistletoe inside of it?
