Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot)

His eyes remained on the imposter, but he shook his head.

"No, Alpha," he said. "Do you mind if I stay behind and speak with her though? Maybe I will have better luck."

I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but I looked over my shoulder and saw that she was playing with the dirt on the ground with the tip of her finger. I sighed and nodded, turning back to Erik.

"Make it quick and report back to the palace as soon as you can," I ordered.

"Yes, Alpha."

I turned and started to walk out the door when I heard Luca saying, "Mindlink me anything you find out."

"Yes, Gamma," Erik replied.

Their voices faded as I left the jailhouse.

Silver's POV

I watched as Elliot left, taking the shattered pieces of my heart with him. I was completely numb. I couldn't remember anything that happened besides the face and the voice right before everything went black. I wasn't sure where I was, or what had happened. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the forest and being cuffed by my husband Gammas.

I was so confused.

After Elliot left, closing the door behind him and leaving me feeling more alone than ever, Leo and Luca glared at me with uncertainty on both their faces. They were speaking to Erik, but their eyes never left mine.

I felt so small at this moment. I slid back on my backside and against the furthest part of the wall of my cell. The chains pulled and tugged at my limps, making me wince in pain because they were made of silver.

I was barely coherent with what was being spoken by the men. I stared down at my bare and cut feet, feeling hot tears burning in the back of my eyes. Soon, I heard the door shutting and when I lifted my gaze, the only one left was Erik.

He didn't look at me with anger or disgust like the others; he was obviously curious, and his lips were turned down in a deep frown as he approached my cell.

I shuddered, wondering what he was about to do to me. I couldn't bear the thought of someone I considered a friend hurting me... but I also didn't expect Elliot to turn his back on me either.

My eyes remained on Erik as he knelt in front of me on the other side of the cell, his brows furrowed.

"I told Elliot about my friendship with Silver," he said, speaking carefully, assessing my face for any type of reaction.

I hadn't told Elliot that I had become

friends with Erik, but I also wasn't

hiding it either. It just never came and with everything that happened between us, it didn't seem important. I wasn't sure why Erik

told him though and why he was

telling me this information.

I decided not to give him a reaction; I waited for him to say more.

"I told him that I'd be able to tell who was telling the truth and who wasn't. He's pretty certain that the woman in his palace right now is the real Silver and I think he's going to return home to have sex with her."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I couldn't help but flinch at his words; it was like a slap in the face. I wasn't sure who that woman was, but I knew she was the real imposter. But Elliot would never believe me, and I didn't think Erik would either. Why would he?

Erik sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"For a second, he was actually jealous of my friendship with her..."

Why was he telling me any of this? It didn't make any sense. But then something he said made me furrow my brows.

"Jealous?" I asked, meeting his eyes.

"Why would he be jealous of our... of your friendship with... her?" I asked

stumbling over my words and wincing with each

"There's no reason to be jealous... you're gay."

Erik confided in me a couple of weeks ago about being gay; I didn't think much of it. In fact, it made me like him that much more. I didn't have any male friends and knowing that I could be authentically friends with Erik without the fear of him misunderstanding anything made me comfortable around him. I trusted Erik... or at least I did.

"Holy shit..." Erik said, his eyes large as he stared at me.

I looked back at him, wondering what was wrong suddenly.

"Silver..." he whispered, and then he stood up abruptly, startling me. As he stared down at me, a smile spread across his lips. "Holy shit, Silver!" He nearly shouted.

I was still struggling to figure out what was happening when his smile began to drop slightly and worry clouded his vision. "Oh, fuck...."
