Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 6

Silver’s POV

A gold-digger?

The last thing I wanted Elliot to think was that I was a gold-digger.

“I’m sorry for my family,” I told Elliot later that evening while we were in the car and driving home. “I only wanted to get a rise out of them. Our relationship is… complicated.”

Elliot didn’t respond.

We remained quiet until we arrived at his luxurious mansion right in the middle of his pack. It was huge and there were a bunch of guards outside the front gate that greeted Elliot as we drove through.

Beta Leo was the one driving the car and he stopped right outside of the front doors. We remained silent until we got inside the mansion. We were greeted by a man in a suit, who I assumed was the butler.

He bowed to Elliot and then he bowed to me. I smiled at him, feeling a bit awkward.

I was intrigued by all the beautiful artifacts inside of the home. He had paintings hung up on his walls that I found myself drawn to. I ran my fingers down the delicate frames, smiling at the beautiful drawings.

Elliot watched me curiously. I hadn’t even realized Beta Leo entered the room until Elliot spoke to him.

“Did you create the contract like I asked?”

“Yes, Alpha,” Leo answered, handing him a piece of paper and a pen.

“A contract for what?” I asked him as Elliot looked it over briefly and then signed it.

“I am a businessman, Silver. Not a philanthropist,” he told me, his eyes studying my face. “This marriage is strictly for convenience. I had my Beta create a contract for us both to sign.”

I was stunned by this, but I shouldn’t have been. Of course, he wasn’t marrying me because he loved me. He didn’t know me; we just met last night.

“I don’t have anything to offer,” I confessed, staring at the ground sheepishly. “I’m wolfless and I’m weak. There’s nothing I can offer you in trade.”

“As I said last night, you might be wolfless, but you are not weak. Even so, it doesn’t matter. I’m the strongest and richest Alpha in the world. Who I marry won’t change my ranking and I don’t need to marry for gain,” he casually explained.

“Then, why marry me?” I asked him, my brows knitting together.

“I have my reasons,” he answered.

He handed me the contact and I stared at it, puzzled.

“You want me to sleep in the same bed as you?” I asked him, looking at the first line before glancing up at him. “Why would you want to sleep with me?”

“I like your body, your scent, and your warmth,” he answered.

I blushed at his words and continued to read the contract.

“I have to attend events with you?” I asked him.

“As my wife, it’s expected,” he explained.

“And you want me to learn Luna's duties?”

“Also expected. My marriage to you isn’t a secret, Silver. The pack will expect you to be their Luna.”
