Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

The words kept playing over and over in my head for the whole night.

'Roxy, you're pregnant.'

I'm pregnant.

It was so incredibly exhilarating, but at the same time scary as hell. I always wanted kids, but at a time like this? In the middle of war? Was that safe?

Could never be.

I had re-masked my scent the next day so that nobody else would sniff me out, and I didn't call back Ace that night. I decided to tell him when I got home. That is, if he doesn't notice right away.

It made me wonder how I didn't notice before. I guess with all the stress it made me oblivious to the changes in my body. It's not like it was impossible. Ace and I had a lot of sex. I mean a lot. So I was stupid not to consider it.

But I was going to be a mother in a matter of months, and I have to do what's right for my baby. No matter what it takes.

So when I got back to Ace's pack, I dragged Aiden aside to talk to him before I faced anyone else. We were in the driveway when I stopped him before he could go off to his room. I had used the last of the masker before I said goodbye to dad, so it should be wearing off soon.

"What's wrong Roxy? " He asked once he saw that I was serious.

"I have something to tell you, but you have to have an open mind about it okay? " He nodded slowly with a worried look on his face as I continued. 

"When I was with Jane and the masker wore off, she noticed that I smelled different "

"Well yes Roxy you're mated-"

"No Aide, not like that." I almost chuckled, remembering that I thought the same thing when Jane told me that I 'smelled different'. 

"Like what then? " His former worried demeanour returned. He must've been thinking that I was sick.

"I'm-" I took a deep breath before continuing. Who knew that this would be so hard. "I'm pregnant Aiden"

I let out a breath I was holding as I waited for some sort of reaction. His eyes flashed to my face, then to my belly then all over the world before meeting mine again.

"Are-Are you sure? " He asked finally.

"Yes. I didn't notice before because I was so stressed. I've been ignoring my wolf's motherly instincts. When Jane told me, I reached out to my wolf and indeed I'm pregnant"

then reality struck him and he remembered why we were even here. I knew, because I went through the same when I first processed it. He met my eyes with an unsure look on his face and asked
