Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Silver's POV

"What nerve does that asshole have?!" Rebecca smeared as she folded her arms across her chest and leaned back in her booth. "He lets Shirley staddle him but if roles were reversed, he said he'd kill the dude? He's such a hypocrite!!"

My cheeks blushed at her words; mainly because she was so loud that others were starting to take notice.

"Keep your voice down," I whispered harshly. "The last thing I need is a scandal."

She rolled her eyes and dismissively waved off my concerns.

"You're married to the strongest and richest Alpha in the world; scandals are unavoidable," she said as she grabbed her wine off the table and took a deep sip of the red elixir.

I met up with Rebecca for dinner later in the evening after my encounter with Elliot earlier. I made a complete fool out of myself with his gammas, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't embarrassed. Erik brought me home and I stayed there until I couldn't stand it anymore. I needed someone to talk to. So, I called Rebecca and asked her to dinner while Elliot worked late once again.

I just finished telling her about the fiasco at the Crown Packhouse.

"He can't just tell you that men aren't allowed to touch you when he's allowing Shirley's greasy hands all over him," she said, rolling her eyes. "How is that fair to you?"

"I don't really want other men to touch me," I told her, taking a sip of my own wine. "I only said that to him to get under his skin and it worked."

"Do you think it's possible he has real feelings for you?"

I nearly snorted at her question.

"Not a chance," I told her in response.
