Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"He's my mate." I whispered, still starstruck.

"What do you mean he's your mate? " Aiden gritted out, obviously frustrated.

I didn't miss the growl that came from Ace when Aiden grabbed me. If I knew anything about mates, I knew they were very possessive.

Not right now please.

I already felt overwhelmed and utterly confused. I needed a minute to think and clear my head. Seeing my mate took me completely by surprise, and the last thing I needed was to do something I'd regret later.

"Can you give us a minute please" I rushed out as I dragged my brother outside.

I didn’t miss the disappointment that flashed across Ace's face when I stepped from the room. And what confused me the most, I almost felt hurt for him.

"You do know we're going to have to abort mission for now until we get a new place to stay right? " Aiden asked as soon as we hit the outside breeze.

"Keep your voice down! " I whisper shouted. "And no one is aborting mission. Look, we have to be close to them to get what we need and you know it"

"But Rox he's your mate! He won't stop until he gets you" He exclaimed in a whisper shout, sounding very much frustrated.

"Look, you know me better than anyone. I can avoid him until we leave okay? I can't be mates with the enemy anyways so chill"

Aiden looked pleased at that, and I was too. I know this mate bond thing was going to be a challenge, but I have to endure it. I've been through worse anyways. This won't be any different.

I hope.

"We should at least tell dad so-"

"No! " I cut him off swiftly. "Nobody is telling dad anything. He'll make us come home to find a new plan and we can't do that, it will only raise suspicion" I reasoned, knowing the outcome if this gets out.

"Promise me you wont tell him until we go back home"

"I promise" He sighed.

I sealed the deal with our signature pinky swear. Those things were sacred between us. We never broke a pinky swear. Childish I know, but it works.

"Let's get back" I moved to head back inside with a now satisfied spirit. If avoiding my mate is what I'll have to do to stay on track, then that's what I'll do.

Aiden kissed my forehead gently and we headed inside. The minute I was back in, all the reassurance I felt went through the door the minute I caught Ace's scent again. In addition, the look on his face had me shivering, as he peered at Aiden as if he was ready to pounce.

I had a mini panic attack as I thought he must've heard what we were discussing outside, but I then noticed that his 'anger' was only directed at Aiden.

"Why are you looking at him like that?" I voiced my concerns. His head snapped to me, his eyes immediately softening at the sight of my face.

"Why is he holding you like that and why did he kiss you?"
