Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"Ow! What was that for? " Ace whined after I hit him on his arm.

We were walking back to the Alpha house after having a long, long make out session. Once we started, it was almost impossible to stop.

For me at least.

"That was for not kissing me sooner! I can't believe how much I was missing out"

"In my defence, if this was two weeks ago you wouldn't have let me touch you " He chuckled, pulling me closer to his side to give me a quick peck.

I pondered on his words for a while, knowing how true it was. "Good point " I smiled sweetly at him. "But maybe if you did, I would've warmed up sooner"

He gave me a lopsided smirk and held me in place. "I guess that's my weapon if I should ever get you on your bad side again" He mumbled and brought his lips to mine again. I gladly returned the kiss since it was now my favourite thing to do.

A gasp from behind us made us pull apart. I turned to see a woman around mid forties staring at us in some kind of daze.

Actually, she was looking at me in some kind of daze.

My mind finally cleared, and that's when I picked up her scent. She wasn't a member of Ace's pack, she was from my pack. I matched her reaction as I slowly stepped towards her. But before I could reach her, she shifted and ran off in the woods.

I stood awestruck, not knowing what to do or say. Do I follow her? Why did she even run?

Ace gently held my shoulder, and I noticed I had unintentional anger towards him. I jerked away from his hold and glared at him.

"She's from my pack"

"I know," was all he said, looking as if I just told him that I'm a girl.

"That's all you have to say? You have my pack members captive here and all you can say is I know?"

"I don't have anyone captive Roxy" He tried to sound calm but the vein popping out of his head said otherwise.
