Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 56

“You remembered,” she said, a smile lighting up her gorgeous face as she happily took the flowers from him. “How thoughtful of you.”

He offered her his arm and escorted her towards the car that Leo waited beside. Leo opened the door for them to enter, bowing his head at the female Alpha.

“I hope I didn’t cause too much trouble with you and your wife,” Shirley said, sliding into the car and waiting for Elliot to join her. “It was never my intention to upset her to such extremes.”

“She will be fine,” Elliot said, stopping his words short. Shirley noticed that he looked troubled by the subject, and it made her curious as to why. A playful glint appeared in her eyes as she wrapped her delicate arms around his strong ones. He stiffened, which irritated her. Why couldn’t he see that she was the one he was meant to be with? Even her wolf agreed that he belonged to them and no other.

She wasn’t successful in getting rid of that wolfless girl, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be. She had a plan for this evening and if things work out, Elliot will be hers by the end of the night. A smile spread across her lips as she watched the trees pass by the moving car. Elliot seemed to be lost in his own world during the car drive to the hotel and she couldn’t help but wonder if it was Silver that occupied his mind.

The thought pissed Shirley off immensely, but she bit her tongue.

Once the car stopped, Leo opened the back door for them to exit. Shirley stepped out of the car first, followed by Elliot. He escorted her, like a gentleman, into the hotel restaurant and greeted the hostess politely. The hostess blushed at his good looks and kindness before motioning for them to follow her.

The restaurant was empty because he rented the entire place out. Across the room was a long table with the region's most elite Alphas seated and speaking amongst themselves. Each of these Alphas is a strong ally to the Crown pack. Elliot had asked them here to help him figure out what the rogues wanted and why they were targeting his pack along with the nearby packs. Because these Alpha live quite a distance away, Elliot bought them each a hotel room for the unforeseen future and made preparations for dinner that evening.

Elliot took his seat at the head of the table and Shirley sat beside him.

She found herself lost in thought while Elliot spoke to each Alpha like they were old friends. He explained the issue at hand and what he wanted to do about it. Each of the Alphas listened to him candidly and put in their own input on the situation.

“I need to use the little lady's room,” Shirley said as she stood to her feet and wandered away.

She clutched her purse to her chest as she made her way around the corner and toward the kitchen. The waiter was waiting for their second round of drink orders when Shirley approached.

“You,” Shirley said, leaning against the wall and staring at the boy. He turned, startled to see her.

“Alpha Shirley… it’s an honor to meet you,” he said, bowing his head slightly. The boy was sweating as he addressed Shirley; she was pleased by this. She wanted him to fear her. She fed off fear; it fueled her with power.

She smirked at him.
