Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

Chapter 29

I woke up, as expected, to an empty bed. My memory of the night before was still pretty clear, and I tried my best not to cry again. Ace's walls were up again, and his scent was still heavy in my room, telling me that he left not too long ago.

 

I sighed as I got out of bed to take a long, warm bath. My body needed it.

 

Feeling somewhat relaxed and refreshed, I wrapped myself in a robe and headed back inside my room without drying off. Sometimes I preferred to sit and air dry.

 

I almost screamed and broke Aiden's neck when I saw him standing beside my desk. Didn't he know he shouldn't do such things?

 

I suddenly remembered that I was still very upset with him, and worse now that I had nothing or nobody to channel my guilt to, him being here wasn't the best--for him at least.

 

"I'm pretty busy Aiden" I snapped as I moved some hair from my face.

 

"Come on Rox" He pleaded, already looking defeated. "By the time you're finished drying I'll be done with what I have to say"

 

My heart clenched at the fact that he knew exactly what I was doing. It made me remember that nobody knew me like he does.

 

I mustered up my sternest face and folded my arms over my chest. "Speak"

 

"Will you listen to me this time? " He asked slowly. I gave him a short nod, and I watched as he readied himself.

 

"The last thing I wanted was to hurt you"

 

"Yea right and-"

 

"Just listen to me Roxy, please" I shut my mouth and watched as he gave me a pleading but pointed look. Huffing, I plopped down on my bed and did a zip impression across my lips.

 

"What I did was disgustingly terrible and I know that. I had a lot of time to think about it, and I saw ways how I could've gone about doing things differently now. That plan was stupid. So so stupid. I'm a big idiot"

 

I almost chuckled at that, but managed to keep my mouth in a thin line.

 

"I'm gonna tell you what happened okay? But you have to listen" His tone changed to a bit more serious as he took a different stance. I shifted on my spot as I felt a little bit more nervous.

 

"The day I tried to.." He cleared his throat but didn't say exactly what he tried to do. "I was panicking. I had just gotten off a call with Jace, and what he told me made me go crazy. I couldn't think, so I just did the first thing that came to my mind."

 

I knew he said no interruptions, but the look on his face prevented me from keeping my mouth shut. "What did Jace say Aiden?"

 

"I didn't know that Jace knew about you, so I was confused at first"

 

"Yea the day Ace and I fought for the first time and I ran to the border, he saw me. He told me that he overheard Jane and I talking."

nodded impatiently. Of course I remembered

was very much his business. He went on and on to Jace about the mateship being an abomination, not to mention what he said about the baby. Roxy you know that apart from you, me, dad and

Ouch Dennis. Ouch.

 

told Jace that if you were pregnant, he

Dennis could plan, but that was hell of a mistake on Jace's side. Why do you think dad attacked two months early?" My eyes widened as I snapped my
