Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"Awe someone had an accident."

Asia giggled as I lifted her from her highchair to get her cleaned up.

"Oh that's okay Roxy, I can do it" Lilly said nonchalantly.

"It's really not a problem Lilly. Before I turned sixteen, I used to volunteer at one of the pack's day-cares. I don't mind a little poop"

Lilly giggled at my statement as she followed me to the closest room. "You don't really talk about your life much. How was it back at home? "

I sighed as I contemplated answering or not. I can't always blow her off. She'll surely get suspicious.

"It was quite average. I didn't have this much mushiness like what you guys have here" She giggled at my choice of words, but I could see that her curiosity was piqued.

"Aiden and I lost our mom a few weeks after we were born, and we didn't actually have a normal childhood or teen-age years. It was always work and school"

"Oh my Roxy I'm so sorry" She whispered with a sad voice , but I simply smiled and brushed it off.

"Don't be. Sometimes I would long for a feeling of having a mother and a normal childhood, but since I don't know what it actually feels like, it doesn't hurt as much as you think it does"

She looked like she didn't know what to say or how to say it, so I just laughed at her expression.

"See that what you're feeling right now, forget it" I pinned Asia's shorts and placed her in Lilly's hand. "I'm fine with the way I grew up. Don't feel sorry for me"

"I just can't imagine-"

"I know. But really it's okay" I smiled when Asia leaned against her shoulder while her eyes drooped. "I just always hoped that one day when I'm a mom, I'll give my baby the life I never had"

She was quiet for a while, so I turned to see what she was doing. Her eyes were filled with tears as she regarded me weirdly. I grew uncomfortable under her gaze, since I had no clue what she was thinking.

"You know, Ace is your mate for a reason. I don't know everything about you and how your relationship will go, but I know for sure that the happiness you desire deep down under that tough shell of yours, you'll find it with him"

And deep down even though it seemed so far fetched right now, I hoped she was right.

"Yes! It's Friday! " Aiden exclaimed when Zack dismissed us.

I had to admit, as much as we were already fully trained, getting up everyday to spend hours with Zack was physically draining--even when I'm not doing anything but 'observe'.

The end of yet another week has arrived, and I was still nowhere in my endeavours to save my pack and my mateship. I decided to give talking to Ace another shot. I've known him for three weeks, so I was sure I could hit a nerve if I tried hard enough.

I had to. In a week, we'll be required to give a report to dad, and the information that Aiden and I have collected so far would be enough for dad to start making his plans. He's not the man for waiting after all.
