"My gosh Roxy what were you thinking!"

 

Yep. He's mad.

After Ace left the next morning, I felt nothing but pure joy. I had his claim, and my wolf was extremely giddy.

 

I then remembered Aiden and his earlier statement. And since I didn't actually have a talk with Ace like I was supposed to, that pushed him over the edge.

 

"Aiden it's not as easy as you think it is" I tried to explain but to no avail.

 

"And you know what's not easy Rox? Breaking my word to dad because of this" He ran his hands through his hair with a frustrated look on his face.

 

"Aide you said you would support me"

 

"And I am Rox, I am. I want you to be happy, trust me, but don't you think you're going a bit fast? I mean, now you'll have to shut him out of your head every time we talk! Didn't you think of that? Don't you think he'll get curious? "

 

I hung my head with a sigh, but said nothing. I guess I wasn't thinking about that part.

 

"Look sis, I'm not saying you should put your life on hold, but you're yet to come up with a plan to change the outcome of things, and as long as you're planless, I still have to do my part. You're my baby sister and I want nothing more than your happiness, but you have to consider the fact that we're still under his roof going behind his back. The more you're connected to him, the easier it'll be for him to figure us out"

 

"I'm not your baby sister" I whispered loud enough for him to hear. He chuckled lowly and pulled me to his chest.

 

"Out of everything I said, you had to pick that out"

 

"That's me" my words were muffled but they were clear enough for him to hear.

 

"Okay but for real now Roxy. Once your heat comes and you're fully mated, I'm not sure how long we'll have until he finds out"

 

"Shit" I cursed softly. I had totally forgotten about my heat. "When's the next full moon?"

 

He clicked his tongue as his eyes wondered, something he did when he wanted to remember something. "In a week"

 

I groaned loudly and fell onto his bed.

 

More than anything I wanted to complete the mating process, but Aiden was right. The more connected I was to Ace, the closer I am to getting our cover blown. What if I slip up and he feels my guilt? I can't shut him out forever.

 

"Wait, you said the full moon is in a week?"

 

"Yea. Why? " Aiden mumbled in confusion. I jumped up in excitement as I remembered one of our conversations from last night.

 

"That's great! He's leaving for some meeting in a week and he won't be back for a few days" And to think, last night I had the total opposite reaction to him leaving. "That gives me enough time to get a new plan before the next full moon"

 

"I think you're forgetting a big issue Rox" I gave him a look to tell him to continue. "It's gonna be unbearable if you don't mate. I can stay with you to help, but you're gonna have to stay away from Ryan and Scott"

 

"I can bear the pain."
