Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 30

Silver’s POV

I stared at Shirly as she continued to dazzle the room. Everybody practically fell to her feet from her charm, and I felt physically ill. Her eyes found Gavin’s and she smiled adoringly as she made her way over to us, Elliot on her heel.

“Gavin, it’s lovely to see you again,” Shirly said, kissing each of his cheeks before her eyes found mine. “Is this your girlfriend?”

Elliot’s features darkened at her question, and I couldn’t bring myself to look away from him. Shirly was standing so close to him like they were one unit. My heart was thrumming violently in my chest.

My eyes burned with unshed tears.

Gavin laughed.

“No, Shirly. You have the wrong idea,” he said, waving his hands dismissively. “Do you really think I would end up with someone like her?”

Shirly examined me carefully and I finally pulled my eyes away from Elliot to look at her. She was stunning up close and my heart ached with each passing moment.

“Oh, I see,” Shirly said, her eyes narrowing. “You are wolfless. I shouldn’t have thought so much. It’s impossible for someone like you to be part of the Alpha’s family. My apologies, Gavin.”

I pressed my lips in a thin line as I glared at Elliot who remained by Shirly’s side as if she didn’t just insult me.

“It seems your habits need reshaping, Alpha,” I spat the word ‘Alpha’ like it was a bad taste on my tongue.

My blatant disrespect caused Shirly and some others around us to gasp.

“Such a rude mouth you have, girl,” Shirly said, her eyes shining as her inner wolf came to the surface. I knew that her wolf was strong enough to tear me apart in a heartbeat and speaking anymore would sentence my death. “Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you speak to me like that.”

“Shirly, I apologize on her behalf. This is my wife Silver,” Elliot quickly stated, motioning his hands toward me.
