Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 123

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.

“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.
