Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Elliot's POV

Just as I asked the maid if she had seen Silver, I felt her presence nearby. My eyes shot in the direction of the bathrooms, and I saw Silver staring at me with wide eyes. Then, she turned to leave only to run into Shirly who was exiting the bathroom behind her.

Silver froze momentarily as she looked up at Shirly and then she turned in the opposite direction and ran from the room.

I furrowed my brows together.

Ignoring Shirly's piercing stares, I chased after Silver, running through the packhouse and trying to get a glimpse of her but there was no trace of her to be found.

She was fast.

"Silver!" I called out, hoping she would respond, but I was met with only silence.

I followed her lingering scent and made my way out the front of the packhouse; I stepped onto the front porch, staring off into the dark abyss, and called her name once more, but once again, I was met with only silence.
