Can’t complete Striking the heart

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I am unable to complete striking the heart quest. I don't suffer from the same bug where the enemy is already killed. I was able to kill the silver hand leader. My quest log tells me to talk to Aela. When I speak to her, I get no options to complete the quest. What are my options? I received this quest a while ago, went off and did other quests and then came back so loading up an old save isn't much of an option for me.

EDIT:
I had the xbox 360 tag on since that is where I am playing. That was removed and I am not sure why. I felt this was important so that answers did not include doing something on the console.

Well I had that problem with a civil war quest what I did was start from the beginning of the game and when I reached that point everything progressed as normal so that's what I suggest you do try starting over from beginning of the game and that should help you out.
