Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

Every wolf knows a mate is the most scared gift one could ever get from the moon. We would do anything, and I mean anything for them.

To some extent, I could understand it all, but in the end, the truth is always suppose to be a first resort.

Maybe I was being biased, but the minute Ace took over, he should've pitched a meeting and try to negotiate terms. But maybe he thought Ace was just like his dad.

"I was upset with Jenna for not trying harder to make him let me go, but then I remembered how hard headed John was, and that Jenna wasn't well. So that kind of pressure was too much for her. I still didn't see her, since seeing her was a constant reminder of what happened. It was recently when I saw you and Aiden I decided to go visit her. I knew I needed my best friend, even though she needed me for years and I was too selfish to visit her"

"You went through a lot. You can't blame yourself" I tried to assure her.

"But she did too. I'm just glad she's better. If I had known all these years that one visit could help her, I would've gone from the moment John died. But life has its way of doing things"

She eased me out of her grasp to look me in the face. Her eyes were serious and her words were stern.

"I know my mate and I still love him so much. But I also know that my kids didn't come here to train. Whatever Blake's plan is, your mate doesn't deserve to feel the fiery part of it."

"I know" I sighed and hung my head. "But every time I try to talk to Ace about my pack, he brushes me off"

"Start with this. Tell him all that you've learnt, I'm sure he needs the clarity"

I cocked my head to the side and regarded her in confusion. "What do you mean? "

"I know that boy is trying to fix his dad's mistakes. He comes here sometimes you know, to check on me"

"Does-does he know? "

She chuckled at my scared expression but shook her head. "He doesn't know that I'm your mom. He thinks I'm a second cousin or something but I know he knows that something is off. He just never asked me what I know"

"So I should tell him the truth about the past, then I tell him about dad's plan? But what if he hates me for it? "

"He won't." She smiled and placed a hand on my tummy. "This baby is the agent that will bring peace between the two packs"

I gave her a teary smile as my heart soared for her. "You knew "

"A mother always knows when her child is gonna have a child" She pulled me into her arms again. "I just wish I was there for you growing up"

"It's not your fault. You did all you could"

"I should've done more. I hope you got my birthday cards though"

And yet again another gasp sounded from me as I remembered the birthday cards Aiden and I got every year since we turned 10.

"Dad always said they were prewritten"

"They were" She tucked a stray hair away that escaped my bun. "After I stopped fighting John, I wrote them and asked him that one favour to get them to Blake. Not for me or for him, but for my kids. Even John had a soft spot"

I relaxed back into her chest and mumbled a 'i love you' in her shirt. I wasn't sure she heard it until I felt a tear on my forehead.

"I love you too my sweet sweet girl. I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Oh I can't wait to meet my baby boy"
