Married My Ex’s Alpha Uncle

"You have nothing to be sorry about," he whispered. "I made the choice, and I would do it all over again. My only goal was to protect you, Silver... I'm sorry I couldn't do that."

I shook my head and wrapped my arms around him, holding him close to me.

"You did protect me..." I whispered. "I love you so much, Elliot."

"I love you too... mate," he whispered back.

I gasped at his name for me, and I pulled back to look at him. His eyes were sparkling with life and love as he looked back at me.

"You know I'm your mate?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Since meeting your wolf, I could feel the mate bond," he said, looking at my snow-white wolf and smiling. He ran his fingers through her fir. "Did you know we were mates?"

I nodded and gave him a demure smile.

"Yes," I answered. "The Moon Goddess told me. I wanted you to find out once I got my wolf."

He smiled as his lips found mine again.

"Silver...?" I heard my name coming timidly from a woman behind me.

I froze and turned to see a gorgeous woman standing before me, staring at me with silver eyes filled with unshed tears. She looked like me, but a little older. She wore a gorgeous pink dress, and her hair was braided down her back; in each braid loop was a different colored wildflower.

Beside her stood a man much taller than her; his dark hair curled around the sides and his eyes were the color of chocolate. She held onto his hands like they were so in love and unable to be without one another.

Then, coming up behind them, was a young woman about my age. She had long curly blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She wore a short white dress with wildflowers all through the seams. She was gorgeous; they looked like a beautiful family, and yet, it felt as if I knew them.

"Oh, my Goddess..." the woman said as tears fell out of her eyes. "It really is you..."

I looked up at Elliot who looked just as confused. The Moon Goddess stood back, watching the events unfold before her, a small smile on her lips. Then, it clicked... I knew who they were. "Mom?" I whispered.

The woman, my mother, nodded. Then I looked at the man next to her.

"Dad?"

His smile grew wide, and he nodded as well.

I quickly stood to my feet and ran to them; I had never met them before, but they suddenly felt like the family I'd been graving. I felt like I was

finally home. They both wrapper net

their arms around me and held me close; they smelled like me. They smelled like pack. We all cried and held one another.

"Oh, Silver... we are so proud of you," my mother whispered. "You defeated your brother, and you saved the world from destruction. I just know you going to use your powers for good." "I'm so sorry you had to do what you did to protect me," I whispered.

"We would do it all over again if we had to," my father said, patting my back gently. "We would have done anything to protect you. We are so sorry for all the heartache and torment you've faced." "We've been watching you this entire time. We wanted to help... but there's only so much we could do from here."

I shook my head and pulled away from them.

"I don't blame you for any of this. You faced a lot too and you did your best," I told them. "I'm okay... really. I'm just glad I was able to stop my brother. I can't believe he would do such a thing."

"We were shocked at first too when we found out what he was planning," my father said, shaking his head. "We tried to steer him back to the light through dreams, but nothing we did helped. He ignored us and continued to do his thing."

I smiled bitterly at the thought of Scott.

"Where is he?" I asked. "Is here too?"

I turned ot the Goddess and she shook her head sadly.

"His soul needs to cleanse," she told me. "He's somewhere else."

I nodded thoughtfully.

"I should thank you..." the girl in the white dress said as she stepped towards me.

I wasn't sure who she was, but she had a kind aura, and she looked happy. My father put a hand on her shoulder, and she looked up at him with a smile.

"It's okay... I've been wanting to meet her," the girl said sweetly before looking back at me.

"Honestly... I blamed you for a little

while after learning about

everything. But then I saw the

monsters you grew up with that bitch of a sister... I'm glad I didn't have to deal with any of that I'm

a

glad I grew up with the parents that I did."

Realization struck me and I gasped.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
