Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"What the hell did I do!?"

I groaned in frustration as Jane laughed on the other line.

"You accepted Ace" She replied as if I didn't know that.

Last night was really emotional for me. After I accepted Ace, he became so excited and happy, and I couldn't help but join in on his excitement.

The way he talked and laughed ever so often made me wish we could stay that way forever, it was just too perfect.

Shortly after, he accepted me too, which made me and my wolf feel as if we were in the clouds. The first stage of the mate bond was complete, and this meant Ace and I were a bit more connected than before.

It felt good until he left.

We spent hours on end talking, laughing and staring at each other, every tear from before long forgotten. But then it got late, and Ace went to his room, and that was when it all came rushing to me like a mighty wind.

It literally knocked the breath out of me.

My wolf was still happy, and I couldn't help but share her happiness, but then everything else came poking at my brain, one by one.

First was the fact that Aiden was going to be pissed, and surely he'll either tell dad, or demand I don't take it further. Of course, I could just keep it hush, but what then?

Will I forever keep it hush and still complete the mission, living in secret with my mate? Will I have to choose a side, which will lead to heartbreak either way?

I knew for a fact that Ace wouldn't stay away from me now, and if I was being honest with myself, I didn't want him to. But everything was still so complicated. I knew there was no going back on Ace at this point, but at the same time, I didn't want to go back on my pack either.

I'm still Silent Moon blood.

"Jane, it is serious, why do you seem so chill about this?" I asked in annoyance, not really sure why she was so calm. She sighed, just like she always did before she got serious.

"Rox, what did I tell you when you first called me about the issue?"

"You told me to reject him," I replied casually. I could hear her gasp from through the phone, which made me chuckle a bit.

"I did not!" she exclaimed. "I simply told you that it was the only way that you would be free of him if you really wanted to. But if I'm remembering correctly, I told you to make the choice which will make you happy, and that was either Ace or the mission. I'm not judging you love, I actually betted on you choosing him" I could hear the smirk in her voice, and I couldn't help but laugh. Only Jane would make a joke out of something so serious.

"But let me ask you this, do you regret accepting him? "

"No" I replied honestly. I felt guilty as hell at the fact, but it wasn't a lie.

"Not even the slightest bit? "She urged, and I shook my head no.

"No" I mumbled after realising that she couldn't see me. "A bit guilty and selfish, but I don't regret it" I sighed.

"Well that's all that matters. Look Roxy, I know how much this mission means to you, and if I'm being honest, it is to us too. But you know what would be selfish? If all of us expected you to give up your mate for us. I know I wouldn't "
