Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

It pained me to hear him say this.

"I wasn't thinking clearly," I admitted. "I was rash, I know that. But that doesn't mean I don't think of you as a friend or value your opinions. I'm sorry if I hurt you..."

"You said goodbye to the chef and not to me," he murmured. "It made me feel...." His voice trailed off and a ping of sadness consumed my chest.

I reached over to him and put my hand on his shoulder; he tensed from my touch.

"I cherish you, Erik. Between you and Mariah, you keep me sane in this pack. You honestly are an incredible friend to me. I was a terrible friend to you. I'm giving Elliot another chance to prove himself, I'd like to ask you the same. Give me another chance to prove myself and I promise I'll be an even better friend to you."

He was quiet for a long moment, weighing what I had just said.

"I can't really stay mad at you, now can I, Silver?" He asked with a twinkle of humor in his eyes.

I smiled and leaned back into my seat.

"I mean you could... but I'm very stubborn and I don't give up that easily," I said, winking.

He laughed and shook his head at my admittance.

When we reached the packhouse, Erik brought my things inside and into my room while I walked into the kitchen. Mariah shrieked and ran to me, wrapping her arms tightly around me. The entire kitchen smelled amazing, and my mouth was watering. I loved spending these last couple of days with Rebecca, but we mainly ate takeout. I have been craving a home-cooked meal since I left the palace.

"I have missed you," she breathed, hugging me tightly.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's only been a couple of days," I chuckled, patting her back. "And they've been long. Come and tell me everything while I prepare your food."

I sat at the island counter and recounted the last couple of days. I told her how I stayed with my best friend in the Stormwind pack and how my father told me that I only had a couple of days before I needed to leave. Then, I told her how Elliot came to get me and how he knelt to the ground and practically begged for my forgiveness.

"I knew Alpha Elliot loved you," she said winking as she shoved a plate in front of my face.

I blushed at her words.

As I ate, I said, "I guess now I have to get rid of the divorce agreement." Mariah smirked.

"No need, Elliot tossed in the trash already. He was never going to sign that," she said, shaking her head. "I'm glad you are back. You are a wonderful Luna, even if not

everybody sees it yet. Plus, you still have a ton of unfinished projects you've started."

I smiled.

This was true; I did have a lot I needed to do for this pack.

We talked for a little longer about my future plans for the pack and Mariah told me some of her ideas. Not before long, I felt Elliot's presence in the palace before I felt his warm arms around my waist and his face buried in the back of my neck.

I tense at first because it was a strange display of affection, but then I relaxed into him.

"Welcome home," he said, peppering the back of my neck with kisses.

"It's good to be home," I replied.

"Alpha, would you like some food?" Mariah asked. "The palace staff will be here soon to eat."

"No thank you. I'm going to steal my wife for a little while," he told her.

She nodded and then winked at me as she started to plate more food. I held onto Elliot with my hand as he guided me away from the kitchen. "Where are we going?" I asked as we pulled me towards the front door.

"We are going to the hospital," he told me, and my mind went back to the last time I was in the hospital and Elliot demanded I thank Shirley for saving me even though I'm pretty sure she had something to do with me getting kidnapped in the first płace. "We need to pay Shirley a little visit."
