He was quiet for a long while as he processed my words. I lifted my gaze to look at him and I was taken aback by the horrified look on his face.

"Elliot?" I asked, keeping my voice low.

"Shirley was in my bed," he said, his brows pinched together. "She was half naked." I flinched away from him as if he had just slappedacross the face. The pain of his words was almost too much forto handle. At that moment, my heart shattered completely.

I covered my mouth with my hands and stared at him through my tear-filled eyes.

"She said it was her that I had sex with last night, but obviously that wasn't true," he said, shaking his head. Relief flashed through his face. "It was you..." he breathed as he met my eyes.

I could tell he was relieved by this realization, but I was anything but relieved because this was the first tI had heard about him waking up in bed with Shirley lying beside him. It madefeel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

He went to touch my arm, but once again, I flinched away from him as if he had just struck me. He furrowed his brows together as he assessed my changed demeanor.

"Silver-" "Did she touch you?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.

"I wouldn't let her," he assured me. "I thought it was you lying besidefor a second but when I took in her scent, I realized immediately that it wasn't you and I quickly got out of bed. Well, actually, I dressed first so she wouldn't see me. I didn't want her to see me." That madefeel a little better, but I still felt uneasy knowing they were in bed together and undressed.

Wait...

"Was she naked too?" I asked, my brows pinched together.

"She was half naked," he told me.

I nodded, trying to process his words.

"Did you really not remember anything from last night?" He stepped closer toand this tI didn't flinch away; I let him touchand wrap his arms around me. I allowed his scent and warmth to envelope me. I missed him these last couple of days. I shouldn't have missed him as badly as I did because this was only a contract marriage and once, he decides to divorce me, it's going to be harder than it should be. But for right now I allowed myself that moment of weakness where I caved into my wants and desires.

"I remember your scent, I remember your face, and I remember touching you," he toldsoftly. "I was confused when I woke up the next morning and it was Shirley in the bed and not you. When she toldI had sex with her, I thought for a second I mistook her for you and I hated myself for it... But then when she toldthat you knew she gavea party drug and tookto a hotel-" "That never happened. I barely even spoke to Shirley. When I got here, she was trying to take you away, but I dismissed her and told her I'd handle it. The gammas present and Beta Leo can vouge for me." His expression softened, as did mine.

This really was a huge misunderstanding.

We remained silent for a moment as he stared into my eyes.

"So, it was you?" He asked me.

I nodded my head once.

"Yes," I whispered.

He took a deep breath and pulled away from me, taking out his phone in the process. He swiped across the screen for a moment before putting the phone to his cheek.

As soon as the line connected, he put it on the speakerphone.

"Shirley," he greeted into the phone.

"Hey, Elliot. I have been worried about you. How are you?" She asked, a bit too cheerfully. I had to stifle a groan. "I found out something rather disturbing, Shirley," he said in a grunt.

She was quiet for a moment.

"What is it, Elliot?" "You lied tothe other night. We never slept together Why would you lie about something like that, Shirley?"

"I wasn't trying to lie to you, Elliot. I usin told you. I took a drug too. I'm not sure how I ended up in your room! When I wokended When ! Woke up I thought we had slept together. It was just a misunderstanding. I swear," she said urgently into the phone. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I'm done with party drugs, Shirley. I'm not the sguy I used to bel grew up.1 up I'm married now. I can't have misunderstandings like that getting around, understood?" "Yes. Understood, Elliot. I'm so sorry." He hung up without another word. I pressed my lips together and folded my arms across my chest, displeased by that conversation.

"That was it?" I asked him, my tone coming out dry.

"Shirley is a long-tfriend and ally, Silver. I can't break my ties with her, or it could put my whole pack in jeopardy. That's one thing I'm not willing to do." X
