Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

His meaning was clear; he was telling me I didn't need to go as far as pushing her down the stairs or attacking her in the hospital room. I didn't bother giving him an explanation. I bit my tongue and remained silent.

Once he was done, he dismissed us.

I wasn't in the mood to really speak to anyone; I couldn't stop thinking about Elliot and Shirley. I couldn't believe he took her side, and yet he still cared enough about me to make sure my wrist was looked at. I wondered what they meant.

Perhaps he truly did care for me?
