Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

Chapter 24

 

I rolled to the side of my bed, being met with nothing but mountains of blankets.

 

"Ace? "

 

I waited but there was no answer.

 

"Aceee? " I dragged a little louder than before, but still no answer.

 

There was a light throb in my head, and I slowly opened my eyes. I had to squint as the light beamed through the slightly opened curtains, and I saw that it was no doubt around ten in the morning.

 

I dragged myself to my bathroom and grabbed a few pills to ease my pain, then I proceeded to cleanse my mouth. I dared myself to meet my gaze in the mirror, and I actually flinched at the sight of my own face.

 

Sad, I know.

 

My face was pale, my eyes were puffy and my hair was everywhere. So, I attempted to tame my messy locks and applied some witch hazel to my eyes to reduce the puffiness.

 

Going back to my room, I noticed a white card sitting on my nightstand, and I saw that it was a note from Ace.

 

*I've gone to do some work, but the minute you wake up just link me and I'll be there. Don't hesitate Roxy*

 

But of course, I hesitated.

 

In fact, I had a mini panic attack when I remembered how I cried for hours last night, not once uttering a word to Ace. I could feel his emotions top notch, and it was pure pain, sadness and confusion as he held me. I knew it was killing him not knowing the real reason for my breakdown, but I also knew he didn't want to upset me more by asking me what was wrong.

 

So he simply stayed with me, uttering sweet nothings now and then and rubbing my skin soothingly. I didn't know when I fell asleep but I'm glad I did.

 

What I was worried about was telling Ace what was really wrong with me. I knew I had to tell him everything, but Aiden's little stunt was never supposed to be a part of it.

 

I was already scared about what Ace would do when he learned the truth. Not to mention going ahead and adding another thing for him to be pissed about.

 

When I finally gathered enough courage to go find him instead of making him come to me, I quickly reached out to Aiden in our mindlink, but it wasn't there. He didn't shut me out or anything, he was just too far away. More than forty miles away.

 

That only meant he listened to me and went home. By now dad probably knows everything.

 

I checked my phone and indeed, I had a ton of missed calls and messages from dad, Jane and Phillip. This was more than enough confirmation for me to know that I had to find Ace.

 

Guessing that the only place he would be was his office, I quickly made my way down the familiar hall. My feet felt heavier with each step and my heart beat faster by the second.

 

What if dad already called him?

 

What if something happened to Aiden?

 

What if Ace hates me after I tell him everything?

 

I pushed away the doubt that was creeping up my neck and clawing at my throat and I pushed his office door open without knocking. But again, he wasn't there.

 

Deciding I had no time to waste, I quickly linked him telling him that I was in his office. I also noticed that I was yet to have breakfast, which can't be healthy for the baby, so I told him to bring me an apple too.
