Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

‘"Eeep!"

I jumped from my former sitting position when I felt a ticklish nibble on my arm. I knew it couldn't be anything dangerous, but the female in me had to scream.

The little bunny looked startled at my reaction, as it stared at me in utter shock. I almost laughed at his expression, but it ran away before I could blink.

Sitting back down against the tree, I relished in the cool summer air. The breeze was light and relaxing, and the meadow looked as beautiful as when I first saw it.

The sun shone in all its glory, and I ensured to appreciate it's warmth before my enemy ascended in the night.

It was the day of the full moon, and I would go in heat once the moon takes the place of the welcoming ball of fire in the sky.

Such irony.

I came here to think and clear my mind at the same time. My mind still throbbed with possibilities, as I remembered the document I found nights ago. I didn't bother to tell Aiden, since a list of pack members wouldn't be of use to dad. And I also wasn't sure if it was our mom.

But who else would it be?

My dad had no other siblings, and as far as I knew, we had no other relatives by the name of Gilbert. But what coincidence? My mother happened to have the same name as this person. Could it be?

No. Dad would never tell such a lie.

Would he?

On many occasions I planned to approach Ace with the matter, and demand he tells me all he knows. But what much could he know about my pack members? His father was the one who took them. That, and the fact that I was a coward.

 I was afraid it would indeed be my mom. I would've been thrilled to know she's still alive of course, but I refused to believe that my whole life had been a lie--that my childhood could've been different. 

That my father was a liar.

It made me hate Ace's dad even more, and if I come to learn that she is indeed my mom, I personally will dig him up, raise him, and kill him again.

But then it had me thinking, was this mission a lie too? Did dad create this whole plan, just to get his one true mate back?

My mind spiralled with possibilities and questions. What was the true purpose of the attack? How did they even manage to take her?  Why didn't dad come get her back? It all didn't make sense to me.

But then again, it may not even be her.

My tummy growled in misery, demanding that I get something to fill it. It has been hours since I came here, but it felt like mere minutes.

Ace had left for his other meetings two days ago, and he wasn't meant to be back for another three days. It wrenched my heart really, but I had to think about Aiden.

If he was here today, we would've been fully mated by midnight, and down goes everything.

I dreaded the pain I'll go through in another couple hours, and that I'll go through it for the whole night. I actually hoped my body would give up and I passed out. But I'm an Alpha blooded wolf, I'm stronger than I wish I was.

I've heard of heats and how awful they were, especially if your mate isn't near. A heat is the wolf's way of ensuring the mating process is complete by the next full moon after she's marked.

But some shewolves rather to wait, so they endure the pain until they are ready. The difference between me and them are: one, my mate wasn't near me so my heat wouldn't be subdued in any way. Two, being Alpha blooded means my wolf is much more eager to get it done, making it hella harder and three, I'm Roxy.
