Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

I had no idea the other Alphas were staying in this pack. I'm sure they were all over the packhouse. It was no wonder Elliot's been so busy lately. I felt foolish to think it had anything to do with me. But I wished he would communicate this stuff with me. Instead, I feel as if he's spending all of his time with Shirley.

"Let's get you ready for the ball; it's going to take at least a day," she told me, assessing my current appearance.

I frowned.

"Give me a break, I just got out of bed," I said defensively.

She laughed.

We spent the entire day getting ready for this ball. She was right; it took a lot to get me ready for this evening's events.

By the time everything was put together, the sun was setting, and it was almost time to leave. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about such an event. When I finally put the dress on and looked at myself in the mirror, I gasped at my appearance.

I hardly recognized myself. It was beautiful.

"Wow," I whispered, unable to form real words.

"Wow is an understatement," she said, pleased with herself. "You are going to be the belle of this ball. Now let's go find your prince."

I smiled and nodded as I followed her out of the room. She helped me navigate through the palace with my dress and by the time we reached the front foyer, Beta Leo and Elliot were standing at the doorway. They both turned to look at me as I arrived, and I swear Elliot's jaw dropped.

I could see the desires pooling in his eyes and it made me blush.

"Hey," I said to him, not sure what else to say.

'Hey," he replied. "You look beautiful," he finally said after a long pause.
