Chapter 64

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 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. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him close to me. When we returned home, I was expecting Elliot 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 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 upstairs and 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.”

“Woah, seriously? That’s huge,” she gasped. “The Darknight pack has been a long-time friend and alliance to the Crown pack. I can’t believe he would break that alliance.”

“He wanted to prove that he was choosing me above anyone,” I said, biting my lower lip. “Do you think he did the right thing?”

“Of course he did. Alpha Shirley has been super disrespectful to you. It’s about time that Alpha Elliot did something about it,” Rebecca huffed. “But I hope you aren’t letting him off the hook that easily. He still hurt you and he can’t expect that you’ll come running back with open arms.”

“He’s taking me to the Surfside Resort tonight,” I told her.

I had to pull the phone away from my ear as she screamed with excitement.

“Are you fucking kidding me?!” She shrieked. “That place is incredibly hard to book! How did he manage that??”

“He’s Elliot Crown,” I said, shrugging. “He has connections.”

“Clearly,” she said in amazement. “Did he get a reservation for the restaurant or a hotel room?”

“Both,” I said as I continued to chew my bottom lip.

“Holy shit, girl. That’s incredible,” she cooed. “Are you excited?”

“Nervous,” I admitted. “Rebecca, he told me he loved me, and I couldn’t say it back.”

“It’s going to take time for you to feel the same way. I don’t blame you. This is all happening very fast,” she assured me.

“I know, but the problem is, I do love him. I love him more than anything. I’m just afraid that once I give him my heart, I’ll regret it.”

“You can’t live like that, Silver. You have to learn to trust. He’s your husband and I don’t think he’s going anywhere anytime soon. Enjoy this time and let him spoil you rotten. You don’t have to say anything you don’t want to say, and nobody is forcing you to feel a certain way. Just enjoy it.”

There was a knock on my bedroom door.

“I’ll call you later,” I told her. “Thanks for listening.”

“Always,” she said softly.

I hung up without another word and went to answer the door. One of the omegas, a palace maid, stood on the other side of the door.

“Hello, Luna. I was told by one of the gammas that Cara is at the door,” she told me, bearing her neck to me.

I was never going to get used to that.

“Thank you,” I told her. “I’m sorry, I never got your name.”

I’ve seen this omega around often, but I don’t often talk to her.

“Elizabeth, Mam,” she answered. “But most just call me Liz.”

“Well, Liz. It’s nice to officially meet you. You can call me Silver.”

She blushed.

“Oh, Luna. I could never,” she said, giving me a nervous laugh.

“As your Luna, I insist,” I told her; I never played the Luna card, but in this case, I felt the need to.

She nodded and bowed her head to me again.

“Yes, Mam… uh… Silver.”

I smiled.

“You can send Cara up to my room. I could use her help getting ready for my night away.”

“Right away,” she said as she retreated.

Moments later, Cara was walking into my room.

“I will never get used to this place,” Cara breathed as she sat on my bed. Cara and I had gotten to know one another over the past month, and we’ve become great friends.

“How do you think I feel,” I teased. “This is all still so new to me.”

“What are you packing for?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at my small suitcase.

“Elliot is taking me to the Surfside Resort,” I told her.

She gasped.

“Seriously?? That place is exclusive. I can’t believe he was able to get in there,” she said, covering her mouth. “I’m so happy for you. You must be stoked.”

I nodded, my cheeks growing warm.

“Yes, and I could use your help getting ready,” I told her. “He told me to pack a bathing suit. So, I packed one, I packed my nightgown, a T-shirt, and shorts. But I need an outfit for tonight.”

She jumped off my bed and ran to my closet. After a few minutes, she grabbed a cute black dress, something I hadn’t worn yet.

“Don’t you think it’s a little revealing?” I asked, raising my brows at the small fabric in her hands.

She wiggled her brows.

“Exactly. Alpha Elliot is going to lose his mind once he sees you in this. He won’t be able to keep his hands off you.”
