Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

Silver's POV

Flashes of light appeared in my vision and an intense ache appeared in my temple. I let out a troubled cry as I buckled over, not sure what was happening. There must have been mistletoe in my drink; but how did this happen?

How could Shirley possibly know what mistletoe does to me?

Nobody paid me any attention because all the rich folks were in their own worlds while they sipped their cocktails and mingled. It wasn't until my hair grew white and my face transformed that somebody finally took notice. For a moment, I was too stunned and in too much pain to move, but then I heard the gasps and the screaming as others began to take notice of me.

"A monster!!!"

"Who is that monster!!"

"We need gamma security in here right away!!

I could hear the shouting and the shuffling of feet as the gamma security barged into the room, trying to find the target. Everyone else's words faded away; I knew Elliot was trying to say something to me as well, but I could hardly hear him between the gasps of horror from everyone else, the gamma security shouting, and Shirley's chuckling. Not to mention the pain in my head and the relentless flashes of light.

I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder; I knew immediately that it was Elliot but something inside of me snapped and I flinched away from him. I blinked and saw the looks of horror on everybody's faces; they all pointed and called me names while the gammas shoved their way through the crowd.

I knew I couldn't stay here any longer. Without much thought, I ran.

I shoved my way through the crowd and ran as fast as I could out of the banquet. I could hear the feet getting louder as I was being chased. Tears sprang from my eyes and my chest ached as my lungs fought to stay intact. Everybody now knew my secret, there was no doubt about that, and just as I feared they all thought of me as a monster.

A sob escaped my lips as I ran.

"Where did she go?!" I heard one of the gammas yelling at the others.

"I think she went this way!!"

My heart hammered wildly in my chest as I continued to run; only pausing a moment when more flashes of light appeared in myNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

At first, I saw the dirt on the ground I stood on, and then I saw the wooden fence posts. I looked up and saw the bleachers that were fairly empty only because most were at the banquet, but I knew immediately where I was.

"Look out!!" I heard someone shouting from behind me.

I whipped around to see a ton of racehorses running in my direction.

I was at the pack horse racetrack. My heart leaped into my throat; they were going so fast and with the ache in my head along with my vision being blinded by flashes of lights, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get out of the way in time.

"I think she went into the racetrack!" I heard someone shouting from a short distance.

Before I could comprehend anything

more, I felt a hand wrap around my wrist. I let out a strangled scream, but another hand clasped around my mouth, keeping me silent. Just as the horses reached me, seconds

pain to really put up a big fight and I found myself going limp against this stranger.

There was no doubt in my mind he was taking me to the gammas; maybe he was a gamma.

He kept his hand around my mouth and his other arm around my waist as he pulled in behind the bleachers. It was a small and dark place, not seen from any other area on the racetrack. When he released me, I fell to the ground, tears springing from my eyes, and my body trembled uncontrollably.

"Hey, it's okay..." I heard a familiar voice.
