Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 9

Stella opened her own art gallery a couple of years ago and because of her popularity and rank in the pack, everybody knows her and loves her work. If only they knew she didn’t paint her work herself.

“I’ll head to the gallery and see what’s going on,” I told her.

“Need any backup?” Rebecca asked and I knew she wanted me to say yes, which was exactly why I said no.

“I’ll be fine,” I said. “If I need help, I’ll call you.”

“Okay,” she sighed. “So, how’s the married life?”

I bit my lower lip and thought about what to say before answering.

“It’s a contract marriage,” I admitted. “I’m just a bed partner under the guise of a wife.”

Just then there was a knock on my door. When I opened it, a familiar woman stood at the doorway with a ton of bags and boxes she was juggling. I let her into my room and she scrambled over to my bed, placing everything down breathlessly.

I recognized her as one of the maids in this mansion. There were quite a few of them running around including some cooks who cooked incredible foods throughout the day.

“The Alpha wanted me to bring these things to you. New clothes, jewelry, and shoes. I spent all morning collecting it all.”

“Thank you,” I said to her, not sure what else to say.

“What was that?” Rebecca asked. I forgot she was on the phone.

“Apparently Elliot wanted a maid to get me a whole new wardrobe.”

I opened one of my bags and saw a ton of expensive and elegant-looking blouses, skirts, designer jeans, and pants. There were leggings, and gorgeous shoes of many different styles, and the boxes contained elegant dresses. Way fancier than I had ever worn before.

In another bag, there was a ton of different jewelry.

It truly was a whole new wardrobe.

After I finished my conversation with Rebecca, I dressed in one of the new blouses and put on a pair of designer jeans. They all fit perfectly and showed off all my curves.

I put everything else away in the closet and drawers that Elliot cleared out for me.

Satisfied, I went to the art exhibit to see what Stella was doing with my paintings. Gamma Erik was kind enough to drive me; apparently, Elliot assigned him to be my personal driver and escort when needed.

Once I got inside the exhibit, my heart fell into my stomach.

She was selling my paintings!

Except my name wasn’t on them… it was her name. They were also altered.

I heard some snickering nearby and I looked up to see a collection of people, watching me. I recognized them as Stella’s friends, including one of Stella’s suitors. Stella had a string of men at her feet and Lucas was one of them.

“Where’s your new husband, Silver? Don’t tell me you already got dumped,” one of the girls mockingly asked.

“It’s common for someone wolfless and weak to get dumped,” another said with a chuckle.
