Chapter 0057
Silver's POV
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got to the hotel, but Elliot being restrained by gamma warriors certainly wasn't one of them. It looked like he was having difficulty keeping his wolf under control. His teeth were elongated, and he was snapping at anybody who got close. The Gammas were struggling to hold him down.
Shirley was standing in front of him, trying to get him to go away with her, trying to soothe him, however, it seemed as if it was only making things worse.
I could hear in a growly tone, "I'm not going anywhere with you. I need my wife!!!"
That seemed to snap me out of my stooper. I hurried over to them, my heart racing as I stepped in front of Gamma Leo and Alpha Shirley, trying to block their review of him.
"I'm right here, Elliot," I told him, holding my arms out for him. His yellow wolf eyes narrowed at me as he assessed me. His eyes scanned my body before making their way up to my face. Before I could say anything more or react, he was lunging at me.
I knew I should have jumped out of the way and been afraid, but something inside of me assured me he wouldn't hurt me. I knew he wouldn't purposely lay a hand on me in a negative way. He wrapped me in his arms, and I felt the weight of his body leaning into me as he lost all the fight inside of him.
I heard the sighs of relief from the others who witnessed the situation and the light growling of Shirley who was not happy about this. I rubbed circles around his back, trying to soothe him and get him to settle down.
I could feel his weight intensifying. His body was hot... like scorching. I could practically see the steam rolling off him.
"What happened to him?" I asked over my shoulder to anyone in earshot.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"We aren't sure," Beta Leo was the one who answered. "We are going to find out though. I don't think it's wise that we bring him home in this condition. I believe he might have already fallen asleep, and it might be difficult to move him from one location to the other. How about we bring him to one of the vacant rooms?"
I nodded in agreement.
Leo went to the front desk in the lobby to reserve a room for Alpha Elliot while I continued to hold him. I leaned against the wall to support both our weights.
"How about I take him up there and you head home?" Shirley said. "I'm a lot stronger and-"
"I don't think that's appropriate," I said shortly, turning my gaze to her. "I'm his wife, Alpha. It's not appropriate for an unmated woman to accompany my husband to a hotel room."
"She's right, Alpha Shirley. You should let his wife do the honors," another man said in the distance.
I looked behind Shirley, curious as to who spoke in my favor, and I was surprised to see the other Alphas. I was under the impression that Elliot took Shirley here as a date or some kind of get-together, but it turns out this was an Alpha gathering.
I sighed in relief at the thought that Elliot hadn't been taking Shirley on a date. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly, allowing his scent and warmth to soothe me despite the fact that he was practically asleep in my arms.
Beta Leo returned moments later with a room key.
"Shall we?" He suggested.
I nodded and motioned for one of the gamma warriors to help Beta Leo and me take an unconscious Elliot to the room.
The hotel room ended up being on the second floor and I should have known it wouldn't be a basic room. Leo thought ahead and got the King suite, knowing this was more suitable for Elliot. He unlocked the door and allowed us entrance. Elliot was conscious enough that he was able to walk slightly. The Gamma and I had his arms wrapped around each of our shoulders as we brought him into the room.
We dropped him onto the be and he immediately rolled over onto his back. I frowned at his flushed features. This was the first time I had truly seen him since arriving and he looked as if he was running a fever. I placed my hand on his forehead and quickly removed it.
"Holy hell," I whispered, shaking my hand. "It nearly burned me."
"That's strange," Leo said, narrowing his eyes.
"What exactly happened tonight?" I asked, turning to face Beta Leo.
