Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"Where have you been? Ace has been freaking!" I rolled my eyes at my brother's first words to throw at me.

"I'm fine thanks." I yanked the dress that I asked him to bring me and threw it on in a swift movement. He stood with his hand on his hip like an expectant mom, while I just gave him a bored look.

"We had a fight so I took a run," I simply put it.

I left out the part about seeing Jace, since he would ask what we talked about and if Aiden knows that Jace knows about Ace, he would go into panic mode and probably ruin my whole non-existent plan. Jace can be trusted, but Aiden would see it as one step closer to dad finding out.

"Couldn't you link me and tell me where you were? The dude's got the whole house looking for you. "

I sighed, feeling a tad guilty that I worried him. A tad. "Where is he now?"

"He's on his way back. Lilly saw when you ran in so she linked him." He gave me the look that's normally followed by 'why'. "Why?"

"The fight was about our pack." He perked up at this. "I saw one of our pack members, and she just ran from me. I tried talking to him and he freaked. I don't like this Aiden. It's not right"

"I know Rox" He had a determined look on his face as he pulled me into a hug. "Don't worry, we'll get them back. I was actually planning on doing some searching today" He gave me a smirk which I returned smugly.

"Sounds good to me." A pang of guilt rushed me, knowing I'll be going behind Ace's back. But at this point, I had no alternative plan, I promised Aiden we would do it and I was still pumped from our fight earlier.

It would've been easier if Ace just listened to me, but I guess life never takes the easy route.

"Great meet me in the hallway by 6" He said as he turned to leave. "Oh and Rox, don't be suspicious "

.

I waited in the hallway for Aiden as planned. We already came up with the plan through our mind link, so it was now for us to execute it.

Despite my protest, I was to keep Ace distracted downstairs. Aiden would sneak into his office to search for some files that would be beneficial to us.

Files on the amount of pack warriors and their level of training, weapon inventory, pack number, border information, training schedules, days of most leisure, map of the pack-grounds and a few more things that I already forgot.
