Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

My heart was racing as the price continued to increase.

I glanced over my shoulder at Stella and her friends who were gawking at the frenzy in front of them. Stella was red in the face and furious, but her mouth was hung open in shock. I turned back to the bid just as the auctioneer was speaking to another employee.

He then turned his attention to the bidders.

"Our VIP Anonymous buyer just called and purchased this piece for the high price of 50 million dollars. He's asked for us to continue raising the price, if necessary," the auctioneer announced.

I gasped at the sound of that, and I covered my mouth to stifle an alarmed scream. Disappointed murmurs erupted around the room.

Excitement slammed into me; I didn't even stop to wonder who this VIP was.

Elliot's POV

"Nothing But Love' will be delivered to your office this evening," Leo said, stepping into my office.

I nodded, not taking my eyes off my computer. I was watching the security tape of the auction, feeling satisfied that Silver was getting the recognition she deserved. I was also glad that Erik was there with her to keep her safe and was able to stop Stella and her friends from doing anything stupid.

"May I ask why you'd want to purchase a portrait of yourself?" Leo then asked.

I looked up at him.

"I don't like the idea of someone else having a portrait of me in their home. Even if my face isn't revealed."

"And because she was reluctant to sell it," my wolf, Atlas, reminded me.

I ignored him.

Leo was quiet for a moment before he said, "You should know... I found something out about Silver's birth—"
