Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Silver's POV

"So, everything got cleared up?" Rebecca asked on the phone, disbelief evident in her voice. It's been a couple of days since our interview on the Merida Ryder show, and since we talked about our misunderstanding concerning the hotel room incident. I hadn't had a chance to speak to my best friend about any of this though because we've both been so busy these last couple of days.

"Yeah, I think so," I told her, taking a deep breath and running my fingers through my hair lazily. "Beta Leo and a couple of the pack gammas did some investigating and found that Shirley put aphrodisiac in his drink. Such despicable behavior."

"And they let her off the hook?" Rebecca gasped. I could only imagine what her face must look like right now.

"Yes," I muttered. "Because she's a strong Alpha and an ally to the Crown pack. Elliot said he's only doing what's best for his pack. He said sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do for the greater good of our pack. I'm not sure how keeping Shirley around is for the greater good of our pack, but whatever."

"That sucks," Rebecca muttered, and I could practically hear the scowl in her tone. "It's not fair that she gets off easy and you got shunned for days after a slight misunderstanding."

I honestly hadn't thought about it like that but now that I was, a ping of hurt surfaced in my chest and I had to rub the sore spot with a deep frown.

"I just don't want to argue with him about it," I murmured. "I'm sick of arguing and being upset.

Rebecca sighed, but she didn't say anything more on the matter.

"Oh, I forgot to mention. I signed a contract with Hope's Gallery yesterday. Elliot set up a meeting with his lawyer and we went over everything. I gave Mr. Wilson the manager of the gallery the contract this morning."

"Oh, my goddess, Silver! That's incredible. I'm so proud of you. You are a rising star and soon you'll be even bigger than Stella.”

I chuckled.
