"I'm in, for real this time" I told Aiden as soon as I entered his room. He smiled widely at me.

"I knew you would come around sis. But how do you plan to keep ‘you know who’ at bay?" He asked.

I pondered my thoughts for a while. I was sure that I could manage to stay away IF I just kept myself occupied, but I wasn't entirely sure how long I could keep him away.

"I'll just have to make him hate me" I stated nonchalantly, as if it was the simplest thing in the world, when in reality, that was nearly impossible. Hating your mate is like teaching pigs to fly.

My wolf, as expected, wasn't too fond of that idea. I knew it would be hard keeping her at bay, good thing I'm more in control.

Why am I doing this?

I couldn't bare seeing the look on everyone that I love faces if I should choose my own pleasure over what I vowed. It tears me up to be giving up Ace, but my subconscious was right, I can always find a new mate. The moon will grant me this one wish.

"How do you plan on doing that? From what I can see, he's already whipped." I mustered the most confident look I could make before answering.

"Aiden you know me, once I set my mind to do something, I will" I said with a pat on his shoulders. He gave me an unsure look, and I knew exactly what that look meant.

"That's what you said two days ago, then I found you almost kissing the guy" He pointed out.

"Look I know I messed up, it was hard. But now I'm not doubting what I want anymore, that's the difference"

He didn't look too convinced, but I could see that he had a little faith in my word. That's all I wanted.

"Good. We start 'training' tomorrow" He informed, using air quotes. "You'll only join us once a week for the physical stuff as you wished, but you have to tone it down Rox" He warned as I rolled my eyes.

"I can act Aiden. But Ace already knows that I passed basics so I can't act like I'm that horrible at fighting" I smirked as he gave me an annoyed look.

"You just had to show off your skills didn't you? I don't know what I'm gonna do with you" He chuckled, pulling me into a hug.

This is what's right. Being with family, making them proud. Do I even need a mate when you have family?

I can do this. I know I can.

"Roxy, wake up!"

I groaned as the pounding on my door continued, Aiden calling me to get up. This almost felt like back home when we had training and he would wake me up every morning at five.

"I'm up!" I shouted as I dragged myself from the bed. I freshened up quickly, pulling my hair into a high ponytail before putting some training gear on.

The good thing about this mission was that even though we were already fully trained, we get to adapt some of their fighting skills and techniques, which we could use against them in the future also.

I went to the kitchen to get an apple before I headed out to the training grounds. I stopped dead in my tracks when the wonderful scent of my mate filled my nostrils. My body immediately went weak, but I quickly recovered, using all the strength I had to put on a show. Acting skills, don't fail me now.

I waltzed into the kitchen as if I didn't know he was there. I quickly grabbed the apple, trying to get away before he could say anything.
