Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle

He was quiet for a long while as he processed my words. I lifted my gaze to look at him and I was taken aback by the horrified look on his face.

"Elliot?" I asked, keeping my voice low.

"Shirley was in my bed," he said, his brows pinched together. "She was half naked."

I flinched away from him as if he had just slapped me across the face. The pain of his words was almost too much for me to handle. At that moment, my heart shattered completely.

I covered my mouth with my hands and stared at him through my tear-filled eyes.

"She said it was her that I had sex with last night, but obviously that wasn't true," he said, shaking his head. Relief flashed through his face. "It was you..." he breathed as he met my eyes.

I could tell he was relieved by this realization, but I was anything but relieved because this was the first time I had heard about him waking up in bed with Shirley lying beside him. It made me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

He went to touch my arm, but once again, I flinched away from him as if he had just struck me. He furrowed his brows together as he assessed my changed demeanor.

"Silver-"

"Did she touch you?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.

"I wouldn't let her," he assured me. "I thought it was you lying beside me for a second but when I took in her scent, I realized immediately that it wasn't you and I quickly got out of bed. Well, actually, I dressed first so she wouldn't see me. I didn't want her to see me."

That made me feel a little better, but I still felt uneasy knowing they were in bed together and undressed.
