Chapter 0126
Silver's POV
It felt good telling Shirley off and her face was priceless!
Elliot took my hand and guided me away from the hospital room. As we returned to the waiting room, one of the nurses, the one who practically purred at him earlier, stood up quickly. She began fixing her hair and flattening her scrubs. "Alpha, are you leaving so soon?" She asked, batting her lashes at him.
He paused before we entered the elevator and turned to look at her. With narrowed eyes and brought me closer to him.
"Nurse Mckenna, have you met my wife, Silver? She's your new Luna," he said to her firmly. Her face paled as she looked at me. "It'd be best if you treat her with respect."
"Y...yes Alpha," she said, bowing her head and bearing her neck.
The elevator door opened and without another word, we were stepping inside. I watched the horrified nurse as the doors closed. I leaned against Elliot, suddenly feeling exhausted. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close to him. His scent wrapped around me like a warm blanket, and I found myself relaxing into him, seeking him out for comfort and support.
"Are you okay?" He asked. "I know that was a lot."
I nodded and peeked up at him, giving him a smile to show him that I truly was okay. I was better than okay.
"Thank you for doing that," I told him.
"I should have done sooner. I shouldn't have let her treat you like that," he replied.
"What's going to happen now? Shirley's pack was strong, and she was a good ally even if she treated me poorly," I reminded him. "Now we don't have them as an alliance."
With these rogues targeting the Crown pack, we needed as many alliances as possible, and Shirley's pack was probably the strongest alliance out of all of them.
"If she's going to treat my Luna like that, then we don't need that kind of alliance," he told me simply. "I'm not going to put you on the back burner anymore. I'm all in, Silver, and I'm going to convince you of that."
My heart swelled from the sentiment. I was terrified though because I didn't want to get hurt again. I worried he would change his mind; I worried that he would realize I'm weak without a wolf and that I truly am a monster on the nights of the full moon.
The elevator doors opened, and we stepped out; Elliot still held my hand and guided me out of the pack hospital and towards the waiting car.
Elliot opened the back door for me and I slid in; he slid into the seat next to mine.
"Take us home, Erik," Elliot ordered.
"Yes, Alpha," Erik replied and started to drive away from the pack hospital.
I rested my head on Elliot's shoulder, unable to get enough of his touch and from the way he was holding my hand, I could tell he needed mine as well.
"I made a reservation for Surfside Resort tonight," he surprised me by telling me. "And I booked a room. I figured we could spend the evening together."
I looked up at him surprised.
The Surfside resort was a gorgeous
hotel on the beach with an attached
beach
5-star restaurant that overlooks the ocean. It's always been a dream
of
mine to go there but reservations and room availabilities are booked out for months. It's almost impossible to get into a place like that but I should have known that Elliot wouldn't have a problem with it.
"Really?" I asked him, still shocked.
He kissed my forehead and smiled.
"Think of it as our first official date," he told me. "Something I should have done after our wedding."
My heart swelled even more. IText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
wrapped my arms around him and hugged him close to me. When we returned home, I was expecting Elfot to come inside with me, but he remained in the car. Before I could get out of the car, he grabbed me and kissed me deeply on the lips, taking my breath away.
"I need to take care of some stuff at the packhouse. I'll come pick you up at 7 for our date. Pack light and make sure you bring a bathing suit," he said, winking.
I smiled and then nodded as I kissed him again.
I got out of the car and hurried into
Ine
the palace. As soon as I got inside, I heard the car driving off. I reached into my pocket and grabbed my cellphone. I immediately called Rebecca as I walked upstairsand into my room.
"Hey, everything okay?" Rebecca asked as soon as she answered the phone.
"Everything is perfect," I breathed. "He's been incredible. He took me to the hospital and confronted Shirley about her lies. He broke the alliance between our packs and banned her from entering our territory."
