Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 95

Elliot’s POV

“What are you doing here, Shirley?” I asked Shirley as soon as Silver left the room. I had spent all week drowning myself at work and trying to figure out the best attack plan so I could properly lead this team, I hadn’t really seen Silver at all.

Part of me felt guilty, but another, much bigger, part of me knew that I had to do what was best for my pack and right now the best thing for them was to find a way to end these rogue attacks. I’m not able to sleep until my pack and the packs around me are safe. I still wasn’t sure why the rogues were targeting my pack the most, but I was determined to find out if it was the last thing I did.

Silver didn’t deserve to be ignored though. Although, I had been keeping track of the work she’s been doing as Luna. The pack has also informed me of some of the changes she’s made. She is quickly gaining their respect and mine. I wanted to not just tell her how proud of her I was, but I also wanted to show her.

I’ve been spending so much time at the office that sometimes I’d fall asleep at my desk. It wasn’t a restful sleep because Silver wasn’t by my side, but it was a little something to get me through until morning. Tonight, I decided to come home so I could spend a little quality time with my wife.

But what I wasn’t expecting was for Shirley to be sitting in my parlor, sipping on wine. A smile tipped the corner of her lips, and she crossed her leg over the other.

“I’m sorry, Elliot. I don’t mean to invade your space,” she said, sticking out her bottom lip. “I never meant to upset Silver.”

“What did you say to her?”

Shirley shrugged.

“I told her the truth,” she said simply. “That you need a strong heir, and she would never be able to give you that.”

“Who said anything about heir?” I snapped, feeling annoyed with Shirley’s interference in my marriage.

“You’re an Alpha, Elliot. Your future children should be on your mind because it is them who will take over for you once you retire… or worse,” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “Do you really think Silver will be able to produce strong children for you? She’s wolfless. Your children with her would probably be wolfless as well.”

“That isn’t for you to decide, Shirley. Who I have children with is not your business. I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

She looked stunned by my order and I could see the complex emotions running through her eyes.

“But Elliot…”

“I’m serious, Shirley,” I told her, pointing towards the doorway. “Do not overstep again or you won’t like what I do.”

She bit her lower lip, but she didn’t argue. Shirley had way too much pride for that. She cleared her throat and stood to her feet, trying to keep her head held high.
