Chapter 117
“Yeah, what would you do without me?” He teased.
Silver and only Silver.
My phone chimed at that moment, and I scrambled for it. My heart was racing as I looked at the screen, hoping that it was Silver. I had Shirley’s number blocked for right now, so I knew it wasn’t her. At some point, I’ll talk to her Shirley, but not right now. My priority was It wasn’t Silver, but it was the next best thing. The only window I had to Silver.
Rebecca: I finally got her out of bed and ate something. She’s still a shell of herself and tears keep escaping her eyes when she thinks I’m not watching. But it’s progress.
My heart ached for my wife; I wanted to hold her and tell her that it was going to be okay. I wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to her or our marriage again. Nobody would ever come between us.
I replied to the text right away.
Me: Do you think she will be ready to talk to me soon?
Rebecca: Maybe. I told her that you and Shirley aren’t mates.
Me: I wanted to be the one to tell her.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit aggravated that she heard this information from Rebecca and not from me. But I was also relieved that the misunderstanding was cleared up.
Rebecca: Sorry, but she needed to know the truth.
Me: I’m coming over.
Rebecca: Not yet! Give her some more time!
I shoved my phone in my pocket, not bothering to respond any further.
“Leo, get the car, I’m going to Rebeccas,” I said with urgency.
“Maybe you should shower first?” He suggested.
I frowned and took a whiff of myself; I winced.
“Yeah, good idea p>
I did exactly as my beta suggested and I showered; after I changed my clothes and dried my hair, I went back downstairs feeling like a new man. Leo smiled, approvingly.
“Are you sure you want to storm her apartment building again?” He asked, raising his brows and dangling the keys to the car in his hands.
“I need to see her. I’m done waiting,” I said with finality.
He smiled even wider.
“Then, let’s go p>
Silvers POV
I forced the oatmeal down my throat even though I was the furthest thing from hungry had a bit more energy this morning than I did last night though. Especially since hearing that Shirley tied to me. But did that really mean anything? I saw how Elliot was with her; he spent more time with her than with me and as everyone and their mother had told me, I wasn’t worthy of being with Elliot. I was wolfless and I couldn’t protect the pack like Shirley could.
As much as I loved being the Luna I and taking on more responsibilities these last couple of weeks when it came down to it, I wasn’t capable of fighting and protecting my packmates. Shirley was ideabto be
with Elliot and everybody knew it.
I wrapped my arms around my body like I was trying to hold myself together. I suddenly couldn’t get warm enough and that bed was looking even better by the second. “Shit,” I heard Rebecca murmur as she stared down at her phone.
I frowned at her.
“What’s wrong?” I asked her.
She looked at me with a startled expression, like she forgot I was sitting there.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” she said lamely; her cheeks turning pink.
“Rebecca?” I urged, raising my brows at my best friend.
She sighed and ran her fingers through her blond hair.
“Elliot might be coming over p>
My mouth nearly fell open.
“What?” I gasped. “Why p>
“He wants to talk to you. If you don’t want to talk to him, you can hide, and I’ll send him away like I did last time. I can call the pack police and p>
“They work for my father; they won’t
do anything to help me,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. Then, I sighed and shook my head
“No, I should talk to him. I want to I
find out the truth once and for all,
and I think the only way I can do that is to speak with him p>
“Are you sure about this?” She asked, uncertainty written all over her face.
I nodded my head once.
“Yes. Let him come in this time p>
