"Don't think for a second just because you got a little recognition for your paintings that you are somebody worth anything. You are worth nothing," she said through her teeth as she stepped around me.

"Hello, Alphas. It's nice to meet you. I'm Silver, Elliot's wife," I said, leaning my head against his shoulder.
