Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle

"I didn't think you'd come home tonight," I admitted. "And I didn't feel comfortable sleeping in there without you."

"I thought I made it clear that you are to sleep in my bedroom. It's part of the contract."

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I think given the events of today, I should just sleep in here tonight," I told him firmly, not willing to give in to him.

His nostrils flared and I knew he wasn't happy with me. Instead of arguing, like I thought he would, he just took off his shirt and pants, wearing only his boxers and he started to get into bed with me. I held up my hand to stop him.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, hating that my voice sounded breathless and weak.

"Getting into bed. If you aren't going to come back to our room and sleep, then I'll just sleep in here with you," he told me.

I lowered my hand and he slid into bed, throwing the covers over his body.

"You are going to apologize to her, and I don't want to hear anything more about it," he said after a short pause. "Now, get some sleep."

With those words left in the air, he turned away from me and turned off the lamp.
