Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

"Baby, please don't be mad at me," he said, lowering himself to his knees in front of me. "I love you so much and I just wanted you to be mine... officially.' "Was marrying you not enough?"

"Not for my wolf," he said sharply. "He needed something more. Something more permanent."

"And you didn't think discussing that was necessary?" I asked, my voice cracking again as I held back a sob.

He cupped my face with his big and strong hands, forcing me to look at him.

"I should have... I was wrong about that. I'm so sorry, Silver. I swear, I didn't mean to. I got caught in the moment and then-"

"And then you marked me..." I whispered. "I don't have a wolf, so I can't mark you back..."

He raised his brows.

"Is that what you are worried about?" He asked me, seemingly puzzled. "Marking me? You don't have to mark me back. The bond will still work either way."

I shook my head as tears spilled from my eyes.

"You don't understand. I wanted to mark you too, Elliot. I wanted you to be mine just as badly as you wanted me to be yours. I wanted us to be in this together, but you went ahead and did this without me..." He seemed confused by my words.

My wolf is content now and that makes me happy. I know your wolf feels left out, but she doesn't have to because whether she is here or not, she is ours as well. My wolf didn't just mark you, but her as well. He might not have met her yet, but he's already in love with her and that's a crazy feeling for me to have. I just found out she existed and I'm already crazy about her because she is a part of you. So, you can hate me and be angry with me all you want... but I would mark you
