Elliot walked over to the bed, and I could feel my heart cracking from the pain. I knew this was too good to be true. He luredhere so I could see him with his mate; he wantedto see what I was missing when I divorced him. I felt a part ofslipping away. I was a shell of myself and there was nothing I could do other than stand at the doorway and watch my husband with another woman.
Tears immediately formed in my eyes and my hands started to shake at my sides.
Elliot put an arm on each side of her and brought his face close to Shirley. She blinked a few times and then started to close her eyes, getting ready to kiss him. This was it... I was going to watch him kiss another woman. "Did you lie to my wife about being my mate?" Elliot said in a low and threatening growl through his teeth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI heard Shirley's sharp intake of breath before her eyes flew open and fear was evident behind them. I lifted my gaze and looked up at them, noticing for the first tthat Elliot's pose wasn't romantic, it was threatening. He was caging her in so she couldn't move, and his wolf was on the edge; not because he wanted to make her, but because he wanted to trip her throat out.
"Wh...what?" She stammered, unsure of what was happening. "What do you mean, Elliot?" "I'm not going to repeat myself for a third time, Shirley. So, listen to my question carefully," he said slowly and angrily. I could feel his fury rolling off him in waves and it brought a chill to my body. "Did or did you not, lie to my wife, and tell her that you are my mate?" "...I..." She couldn't cup with an excuse on the fly and for the first time, she looked utterly terrified. Shirley was a very strong Alpha female, the only female that had her own pack, and she was cowering away from Elliot. She was so confident up until this moment and it was strange to see her like this.
"If you ever disrespect my wife and Luna again, I won't hesitate to rip your throat out with my teeth," he hissed, and then he took a step away from her, uncaging her and glaring down at her with such disgust that my mouth nearly dropped to the ground in shock. This was unexpected.
"Elliot... I'm your friend... one of your oldest friends. I would never-" "Don't fucking lie to me, Shirley!" He growled, the hospital grounds shaking from the force of his roar, and I had to grab the door for support.
"I'm not lying," she whaled, tears springing from her eyes. "I don't know what she has been telling you but-" The way she said the word "she" was like a bad taste in her mouth, and she gavea pointed look at the stime. Elliot didn't let her finish her sentence because he had her throat in his hands, and he slammed her against the wall behind her bed. "Don't test me," he growled, his wolf surging forward and nearly taking control. "This is your final and only warning. You are no longer allowed in the Grown pack. Our alliances are over You have until sundown to return to your pack. If you aren't gone by then, my gammas have orders to execute you." She choked as he held her throat; she struggled to break free until she was blue in the face and then he finally released her. She coughed and gagged, attempting to catch her breath again.
He turned to face me, and I saw the gold in his eyes indicating that his wolf was in control. When he sawstanding shocked at the doorway, I saw a flicker of Elliothis eyes and his gaze softened. But it only lasted a moment because he was soon grabbing my arm and yankingtowards him so I could stand next to him.
"Apologize to my Luna," he ordered.
Shirley glared at me; if looks could kill, I certainly would have died immediately.

"I...I'm sorry..." Shirley stammered, tears pouring out of her eyes.
If she hadn't been so terrible to me, I would have felt bad But at that m Batthat momenti didn't feel anything. The e content is on novelenglish.net! Elliot looked atand I stood frozen.
"Do you accept?" He asked after a moment.
I stared at Shirley and saw her crying; my heart tugged and for a moment, I dand hated my conscious.
"Yes," I whispered. "I accept your apology. But Shirley."added m narrowing my eyes at her. "I never want to see you in my territory again." X
