Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Silver's POV

I spent time in my new studio putting my art supplies away. Elliot left a little over an hour ago to go to his mansion office once Beta Leo arrived. Drowning myself in my work was exactly what I needed to forget about how awful yesterday turned out to be.

There was nothing I could do about the paintings Stella stole, but I could move forward from it and create even better works of art. The problem was, it took me so long to create the paintings she stole.

I had a lot of work cut out for me.

My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. I placed my phone on the glass desk that sat on the far side of the room, so I had to walk across the room to get to it. Once I had it in my hands, I smiled at the name that went across the screen.

Rebecca.

"Hey," I said, answering the phone.

"Silver!" Rebecca cried on the other end. Her voice sounded distraught and almost pained. My entire body froze at the sound of it.

"Rebecca? What's going on? Are you okay?"

"Silver, help me," she whimpered. "I went to the art exhibit last night and Stella's friends assaulted me when I called Stella out for stealing your paintings."

"What?" I gasped.

"Where are you?"

"I... I don't know," she breathed. "I woke up in this dark place. I was tied up and I got untied but I think my foot is broken. I crawled around and found my purse. My phone is going to die soon...I don't know what to do. I think I'm alone... but-"

Her voice trailed off.

"Rebecca?" I asked, panicked.

"Somebody's coming," she said hoarsely.

"Just hang tight; I'm going to come find you," I assured her.

I didn't wait for her response, I quickly hung up and rushed out of the room and across the palace. I went down the hallway that led to Elliot's office and I paused when I saw that the office door was ajar. Voices inside the office kept me from walking in right away.

"Make sure you keep the most beautiful model for me, Leo," Elliot said.

"Okay, she will be delivered to the mansion tonight," Leo responded.

I gasped at their words; my entire heart fell deep into my stomach. A model? Elliot was getting a model tonight?

The words of Gavin replayed in my mind when he said that Elliot was worse than he was and that Elliot had a trail of women at his feet.
