Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Elliot's POV

"Elliot! You came home!" Silver said as she ran down the stairs in nothing but a bra and panties. My brows furrowed; she would never wear something so revealing in front of the palace staff. Even the maids that were walking by, stared at her warily. "Come to bed with me," she pleaded, grabbing onto my arm.

"Can you give me a few minutes," I said, pulling my arm out of her grasp, and watching as it fell to her side. I didn't like her touch; I wasn't sure why. But there was something off with her and my wolf was starting to get snarly over it.

I wanted to ignore him, but I was having trouble doing so.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, giving me her best doe eyes. At one point I couldn't resist those eyes but seeing her standing in front of me right now, I wanted to distance myself from her. I kept telling myself it was because she's been through so much, but I'm starting to doubt my true reasoning.

"Yeah, I just need to speak with someone," I told her.

She frowned, but she nodded slowly.

"Okay. I'll be waiting in our room," she said, turning and swaying her hips as she walked back up the stairs.

I stared after her for a moment before I looked at the maids who were frozen in place.

"Say nothing to anyone about this," I barked.

They nodded and scrambled away.
