Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

"It was no big deal. It was the least I could do. You've been a huge help lately. I'm not sure what I would do without you," Elliot replied, his tone casual like he was talking to a normal friend. "You'll never have to find out," she said lovingly. "We make quite a pair, you and I. It's no wonder everyone thinks we are a couple. You know those in my pack had voted us this year's "It" couple?" I held my breath, feeling as if someone punched my stomach when I heard Elliot's laughter.

"Is that so?" He asked, playfully.

Shirley giggled and I couldn't hear anymore. I turned and ran to my office just before the tears that burned my eyes moments ago spilled down my cheeks. I'm not sure how long I stayed in my office, but I was feeling like a ghost of myself by the time the sunset and I returned to the palace.

"It is late, why are you now just getting home?" Elliot startled me by asking.

I looked up at him, hoping he didn't notice the puffiness around my eyes from crying.

"I wasn't expecting you to be home," I told him, wrapping my arms around my body like I was holding myself together.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

I narrowed my eyes.

"You haven't been all week," I reminded him.

"I've been working late, but I've been coming home," he told me, seemingly confused. "Are you upset with me?"

I shook my head, unable to look him in the eyes.

"No, of course not," I lied. "I'm just tired. It's been a long day."

I started to walk past him, but he grabbed hold of my elbow, stopping me in place.

"I don't like you coming home this

late. It's dangerous wandering around at night without security Please try to return to the

packhouse before sundown going

forward," he ordered.

It took everything in my power not to lash out at him for his audacity but all I managed was, "Yes, sir."

Without another word, I went

upstairs and crawled into bed. Per

usual, Elliot was gone the next I morning before I even had the

chance to wake up. My stomach

twisted once again, and I really

wasn't feeling well.

I sat at my desk, rubbing my aching temples when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in," I said, knowing my voice sounded strained.

A woman walked into my office, and I recognized her as one of the packmates, Theresa.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Hello, Luna. I was wondering if you had the chance to speak with the Alpha about gammas training for the women. I and some others are eager to get started."

"I have and he said he's willing to give it a chance," I told her.

The excitement in her face spoke volumes and I couldn't help but smile.

"Can we go there now and get started?" She asked. "I could gather the others."

I looked at the clock and knew that Elliot would be there right about now. I nodded and stood.

"Sure, and I'll come too," I told her.

It didn't take long to gather the ladies who wanted to train and make our way to the training grounds. I froze entirely when I saw the gammas all training.

Elliot was sparing with Shirley, and

fet

she managed to tackle him to the ground. I felt nauseous when she straddled his lap as he lay on the ground she pinned both his hands over his head and hovered over him as if she were about to kiss him.

The position was far too intimate, and I lost my cool immediately. "Get your disgusting hands off my husband, you bitch!!"
