Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

Silver's POV

"You've been lying to me??" Scott asked, a flash of hurt in his eyes.

I stood frozen; I had been caught trying to take the dagger from the safe. I should have known that Rogue would have been watching me all night. I was stupid to think he, like the others, had fallen asleep. He had a smug look on his face and a smirk on his lips. Scott's brows were tilted downward, and he looked utterly crushed that his own sister would betray him like this.

The dagger was held firmly in his hands. I could tell the handle had various different gemstones on it but the largest one in the center was multiple colors of purple and blue. It was gorgeous. I knew from different books that it was the moonstone.

It was the most powerful dagger in the world, and it could kill any creature with just a scratch. He was planning on using it on Elliot. My stomach twisted at the very thought. I needed to get that dagger before it was too late; I couldn't allow Elliot to die. "Do you have anything to say for yourself, Silver?" Scott asked, his brows furrowing. "I thought we were in this together? I thought you wanted to see a better world where we are in control? How could you betray me like this?"

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"I love him, Scott," I whispered, deciding just to be honest. There was no use in lying to him; he wouldn't believe me anyway. "He's my husband. I don't want him to die. I thought I'd take the dagger and hide it so you can't use it on him." I also decided not to tell him that I was planning on killing him. That definitely wouldn't look good.

"That was the whole point in all of this, Silver!" Scott shouted. "What Elliot and his family did was wrong, and they need to pay the cost of it all!!"

"Elliot was only a boy at the time, Scott. He didn't do anything wrong!" I found myself shouting back.

Scott's eyes grew large at my words as if he just figured something out.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You never came here to help me," he said, his voice low and threatening. "You came here to stop me. Maybe even kill me yourself. Is that the truth?"

"I told you she was up to no good," the rogue muttered. "I didn't trust her from the beginning and I'm never going to trust her now." He folded his arms across his chest and glared at me.

I wasn't sure what to say, so I

remained silent. I feel as if denying the claims would just make things worse for me. I lowered my gaze

and bit my lip, hating that I was net

stupid enough to get caught. only had one mission, and I completely failed it. Now Elliot was more in danger than ever and there was nothing I could do about it.

"Take her into her room and cuff her to the bed so she doesn't escape," Scott said through his teeth.

His eyes had gone dark and there were no longer any emotions on his face. My entire heart fell into my stomach.

The rogue was so fast, I didn't even see him approaching. The next thing I knew, he was grabbing my arm and squeezing it so tightly that I let out a whimper and fell to my knees. He twisted my arm behind my back like he was some kind of cop and forced me to my feet so I could walk.

"Ouch," I whimpered, trying to break free from his tight hold.

"Shut up traitor," he hissed, kicking me in the back. I heard a crack, and I howled in pain.

Scott just stared at me with zero emotions in his eyes and I hated not knowing what he was thinking. I knew he was pissed though, and I was surely going to pay the cost, maybe even with my life.

The rogue pushed me out of the

room, and I struggled to keep walking with the amount of pain I was suddenly in. He did something to my pack and now it was hurting like crazing. We made our way down the stairs, Scott following behind us. Other rogues had poked their heads out of their rooms. I wondered if any of them were sleeping at all, or if they were just acting like they were sleeping so they could catch me.

Shame washed over my face, and I couldn't look at any of them. I wasn't ashamed of betraying them because they were aiming to hurt and kill

I

those I cared about and inet

was ashamed that I was naive and stupid enough to think that they left me alone without watching me. I was ashamed that I failed my mission and let my pack down. I was ashamed that I let Elliot down.
