Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 124

Silver’s POV

My heart was hammering as we pulled up to the hospital. I stared at the familiar large building in front of me and waves of panic hit me like a freight train. Memories of my time in this hospital consumed me and I thought about the last time I was here. It was right after I was kidnapped by rogues. I suffered from a concussion, and I was unconscious for a while. But when I woke, I was alone. It turns out that my darling husband was with Shirley.

His expectations of me thanking Shirley for saving my life hurt me because I was pretty certain it was Shirley who helped them kidnap me in the first place. She wanted to get on Elliot’s good side, so she staged saving me.

Then, when I spoke to Shirley alone, she told me that she and Elliot were actually fated mates and that I was just getting in their way. My heart hurt at the very thought of it but now I know she was lying to me. She just wanted me out of the way so she could have Elliot for herself.

I was glad her plans didn’t work, but I wasn’t sure why we needed to be here now. I looked up at Elliot who was also fixing his attention on the hospital building. I wondered if he was just as nervous, or if he was angry. Was he going to make me apologize or thank Shirley?

Elliot finally spared me a glance and his gaze softened; I could see his wolf in his eyes and his wolf was fighting to take control. I frowned and cocked my head ot the side.

“What is it?” I asked him.

“My wolf is having trouble dealing with everything. He’s angry,” Elliot confessed. He reached out and grabbed my hand, squeezing it and it was reassuring. I found myself smiling at him, wanting to ease his wolf.

It seemed to be working because his body relaxed as we stood side-by-side.

“Why are we here?” I finally asked him, my voice coming out softer than I intended.

“Because we need to talk to Shirley,” he answered simply as he pulled me along with him and into the hospital.

My chest tightened even more with each step we made. We reached the third floor, which had no other patience besides Shirley. There were a few gamma warriors in the waiting room along with a couple of nurses at the nurse's station. The gammas stood tall when they saw us approaching.

“Welcome back, Alpha,” one of the nurses practically purred. I had to keep from rolling my eyes at her; if I had a wolf, I knew I would be growling all over the place.
