How had this become my life?
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Marco asked, his voice soft and understanding as he watched me.
I let myself grieve for a moment longer; I let my body shake and quiver as I sobbed. But now it was time to become stronger and a better version of myself. I straightened myself and forced a smile on my lips as I nodded my head.
“Yes,” I answered, more confidently than I felt. “I just needed a moment. I’m ready.”
He pushed the divorce agreement across the coffee table and towards me; his eyes showing nothing but sympathy. I took a deep breath and with a shaky hand, I managed to sign along the dotted line.

Elliot’s POV
“There isn’t a probable reason why her leg isn’t healing, Alpha,” the doctor said, his face pale after I confronted him about Shirley’s condition. “Her wolf is Alpha and very healthy. She should have been healed a couple of hours ago.”
“Well, something is wrong because she’s feeling severe pain still. Run more tests and find out why she isn’t healing properly,” I said through my teeth.

The thought of anything happening to her sent a pain in my chest. I’m not one to scare easily, but it was terrifying when Erik told me she had been taken by my rogues.
I was beyond grateful to Shirley for saving my wife’s life. I owed her more than I could pay. I owed it to Shirley to make sure she at least recovered after getting hurt in this battle. But I also didn’t like the fact that Silver was out of my sight.
“I’m going to return home so I can see her,” I informed both Shirley and my Beta. “Will you stay here with Shirley?” I asked Beta Leo.
“Yeah, of course,” Leo said, nodding his head.
“What?!” Shirley gasped. “You’re leaving?? But…”
