Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

A cry of pain escaped my lips as I clenched my ankle which was throbbing in agonizing pain. Zack scurried to his feet, trying to help me, but a low warning growl from Ace stopped him in his movements.

By now both Aiden and Ace had made it to where we were. Ace threw a swing at Zack, punching him square in his face before he plummeted to the ground once again. Aiden examined my ankle and the damage, but I was sure it was a sprain. 

"What the hell Zack! You f**king hurt my mate! " Ace shouted with his Alpha tone in anger, something I have never heard since I got here.

Zack shook in fear, trying to move away from his wrath. Over the weeks, I've learnt that Ace was a stern but an approachable Alpha, so his pack wasn't scared of him. But now, he was really scary.

"I- I'm sorry. It was just a part of the training Alpha. I-I didn't mean to hurt her" He stuttered out as Ace's chest rose and fell in anger.

His apology didn't seem to calm Ace, but in that minute I wasn't up for the back and forth--or forth and forth rather, since Zack wouldn't dare speak back to his Alpha. 

Aiden tested my joint movement, causing another rush of pain to run through me, and I cried out in agony once again. For a person who spent years training, trust me, I have very low tolerance for pain.

This caught Ace's attention as he quickly rushed to me, leaving a shivering Zack as he peered at my foot to assess the damage.

"I'll take you back to the house and call a doctor to come check on you" He said as he attempted to lift me, but Aiden had other plans.

"I'll take her, she's my sister" Aiden stopped him, giving him a stern look. Ace didn't appreciate this, as he growled low and threateningly at him.

"And she's my mate" He gritted out, staring equally deadly at him. This mate-brother feud was cute and all, but I had no time for this.

"Aiden it's okay, just get my flowers" I smiled reassuringly, knowing we wouldn't leave until Ace had me.

When a wolf's mate is hurt or in trouble, their first and only instinct is to deal with the threat and keep their mate safe. It didn't matter how much I pushed him away, he needed to know that I was safe, and to him and his wolf, that was only in his arms.
