Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle

Time ticked on; I got so lost in my artwork that I completely lost track of time. The front door slammed shut and distinct male voices brought me out of my stooper.

I put my brushes and watercolor away before leaving the studio and walking into the front foyer. I froze entirely when I saw Elliot standing at the doorway with Beta Leo and Gamma Warrior. It was the lead gamma warrior that was looking for me yesterday. I bit the inside of my cheek, hoping that he doesn't recognize me.

However, the gamma being in the palace wasn't what caused me to pause, it was the state of my husband.

He was shirtless, wearing only jeans. But his entire torso had claw marks on it. His jawbone was bruised, and he had a bloody scratch on his cheek. His upper lip was also split and puffy. I scanned his body for further damage, and I saw that his knuckles were red and swollen, with some minor scrapes.

My stomach twisted and knotted until I felt completely ill.

"I told you not to go there alone," the gamma scolded, folding his arm across his chest. "What were you thinking?"

"I told him it was a bad idea, but he wouldn't listen to reason," Beta Leo said, equally dismayed.

"Would you two knock it off? My wolf will heal me in no time and-"

His words were cut off when he saw me standing before him. The others looked at me as well and their eyes widened. I was too stunned to even speak.

Did he really try to go after the rouges by himself? Did I hear him correctly?

Elliot broke his eyes from me to look at Leo.

"Call together the local Alphas and have them meet me at my packhouse for a meeting."
