Chapter 118
Elliot’s POV
“Maybe you shouldn’t go in there angry,” Beta Leo tried to say just as I pounded on the door of Rebecca’s apartment.
“I’m getting her back, even if it’s the last thing I do,” I said without looking at him.
“I know. But I’m just saying ” His words were cut off as soon as the door opened, and Rebecca stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest.
“Alpha,” she greeted, her eyes narrowed. “What can I do for you p>
“You know why I’m here, Rebecca,” I said through my teeth. “Let me speak with her p>
“Didn’t I tell you that she needed time? Or did you not look at your text messages after you informed me that you were coming over?” She asked, clearly not happy that I ignored her messages. “Let’s get one thing straight, Alpha. You might be the most powerful Alpha in the world, but this is Stormwind territory, not the Crown Territory. You have no jurisdiction here. You can’t just barge into my home like you own the place p>
She had her hands on her hips; she was certainly a feisty little thing.
“I apologize,” I bit back the urge to growl at her for raising her voice to me. Who the fuck did she think she was? “I didn’t mean to be rude. May I please speak with Silver if she’s available?” And if she’s not, I was going to shove my way into this apartment and wait for her to be available.
I wasn’t going to leave until I spoke with her, that’s for sure. It was killing me being patient and polite right now when all I wanted to do was rip the door off the hinges and run inside to wrap my arms around my wife. Rebecca stared at me for a moment longer and smirked.
“See? Was that so hard?” She asked almost too innocently. I glanced at Beta Leo who was staring at her with wide eyes. It was almost like he was a mix of terrified and in awe of the small blonde.
“Can you take Rebecca somewhere so I can speak with Silver alone?” I asked him.
He snapped a petrified look.
“What?” He gasped.
“Are you seriously kicking me out of my own apartment?” She asked that fury back in place. “Yes, I need to speak with her alone,” I said simply.
Rebecca scoffed and Leo grabbed my arm, attempting to pull me away but with little success. “Are you serious?” He whisper yelled. “She’s going to chop my balls off and eat them for dinner.” I smirked.
“Are you seriously afraid of a small blonde?” I asked, raising my brows at him.
He glanced over his shoulder at Rebecca who was watching us curiously and slightly annoyed. “Maybe I should leave, Alpha p>
“Please, Leo. I’m asking as a friend, not as an Alpha. Do me this favor,” I pleaded with him.
He groaned and sighed.
“Fine,” he muttered.
I took a deep breath and turned towards the apartment door. I could smell Silver inside and it stirred something deep inside me. “Good luck,” Rebecca muttered as she followed Leo down the hall and out the front door.
I walked into the apartment and shut the door behind me. My eyes scanned the small space until they landed on Silver who was seated on the couch. She was staring down at her hands, tugging at her fingers nervously. I could smell her nerves from where I stood, but I also
smelled her incredible signature
scent, making my mouth practically
water.
She wasn’t turning around to look at me, but I knew from the stiffness of her posture that she could sense me standing behind her. I swallowed my pride and with a heart hammering against my chest, I walked around to stand in front of her.
I was appalled by her appearance. In
just 24 hours, it appeared that she
lost some weight. She had dark bags under her eyes that matched my own, proving that she wasn’t sleeping or sleeping well… just like I hadn’t been. She wore no makeup,
and she was still in her pajamas.
Her legs were tucked beneath her on the couch and even though I was now standing in front of her, she refused to look at her.
My heart cracked at the sight; I could tell she’d been crying because of the redness around her eyes and the tear, stains on her cheeks from when n she hadn’t bothered to wipe them away. I hated that I had done this to her; I broke her and now it was my job to fix her.
