Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 184

Silver’s POV

I instinctively reached up and touched the mark on my neck. I hadn’t thought about covering it up, but at that moment, I regretted that decision. I bit my lower lip and glanced at the ground. I could feel Scott’s eyes on me and my cheeks burned as I thought about what to say.

“Yeah,” I murmured. “It wasn’t in my control.”

His brows furrowed as he continued to burn his eyes into my face.

“What do you mean it wasn’t in your control?” He asked, folding his arms across his chest.

“He marked me without getting my permission,” I told him, shrugging casually. “It’s okay though…” I tried to add.

He scoffed and shook his head as he took me in.

“No, it’s not okay, Silver. This is exactly why that asshole needs to die. Someone like him and his father don’t deserve to live and by tomorrow night, his family will no longer exist.”

I had to swallow the bile that rose in my throat upon hearing his words. I was starting to feel sick to my stomach. I glanced at the ground again and nodded my head. I knew that being here and pretending to be a part of Scott’s circle was going to be major turmoil for me. But I still did it because my pack needs me; my mate needs me.

Scott grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly and rubbing my back soothingly. I knew he was trying to act like a big brother, but I just felt uncomfortable being this close to him. However, I remained still, not wanting to give him any reason to be suspicious of me.

“He will never hurt you again, Silver. You have my word. I will do everything I can to protect you. He won’t take anyone else in my life. That’s a promise.”

My entire body felt numb, and I wasn’t sure what to say in response, so I only nodded. He released me and looked at my face, giving me a broad smile.

“Come on, we should have dinner and then we can prepare for tomorrow,” he told me, pulling me along with him.
