Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

"You're in love with her."

It wasn't a question. I blinked at her; was I that transparent? I lowered my gaze, feeling defeated and exhausted.

"I can see it in your eyes, Alpha. You can deny it if you'd like, but it won't do you any good-"

"I'm not denying it," I found myself saying quickly. I might not say the words out loud, but I refused to deny my feelings for Silver any longer.

Rebecca's brows shot upward, and she looked at me like she was looking at a brand-new person. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Well, I'll be damned," she breathed. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. She's a terrific woman and she'll be a great Luna. It's easy to love her."

"Okay," I finally conceded. "I'll head home."

She nodded.
