Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

At the time of my kidnapping, Erik was patrolling outside. I'm sure she probably saw that somebody had broken into the palace and was most likely the one who called Elliot and took me to the hospital.

"I've told you to just call me, Silver," I told him, walking towards him.

He smirked.

"And your husband would have my balls in a handbasket if I did that," he teased, opening the back seat of the car. "Let me take you home."

"I can call a cab," I told him as I held up my phone. Just then, my phone died.

I frowned at the screen and then sighed in defeat.

Chuckling, Erik motioned for me to get in.

"Come on; it's my job to protect you, remember?" He asked.

I nodded and gave him a sheepish smile as I slid into the back seat of the car.

"I'm surprised the Alpha isn't joining you," Erik said as he pulled away from the hospital.

I shrugged my shoulder, trying to be nonchalant.

"He's too busy tending to Shirley," I muttered; even I could hear the bitterness in my own voice.

Erik raised an eyebrow as he glanced at me in the mirror.
