Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 76

My father opened his mouth to say something, looking mortified that Elliot was actually standing up for me. To be honest, I was kind of shocked by this. Nobody has ever stood up for me before, not even Gavin. My cheeks flushed at the sentiment, and I found myself wanting to lean into him and soak in his warmth and scent.

“If you’ll excuse us,” Elliot said, taking my arms and starting to pull me away but my father stopped us once again.

“I wanted to discuss the recent attacks,” he called after us.

“Alpha, we are at a ball right now. I’d rather not discuss business.” He said calmly.

My heart was thrumming from that interaction. My father was left in shock.

“Elliot,” another voice said once we were far. “You didn’t come to find me. I was looking all over for you!”

Shirley walked through the crowd and in our direction. Her smile faltered slightly when she saw me standing beside him.

“Oh, hello there, Silver. It’s a pleasure to see you again,” she said, her fake smile never leaving her lips. Then, she turned back to Elliot and looped an arm through his. “I hope you don’t mind if I steal your husband for a little while. We have much to discuss and there are some Alphas we must speak to.”

I frowned as I looked up at Elliot.

He sighed and looked back.

“It’ll only be a little while. How about you do some mingling as well,” he suggested.

“Oh, uh… okay,” I said, forcing a smile.
