Alpha Ace and his Undercover Mate

"I still can't believe you're gonna be living here with me" I beamed at Jane as she curled her hair in my mirror.

We were getting ready to be introduced to the pack, and I was still in awe that my sister from another mother would get to live with me.

"Better believe it" She squealed excitingly. "Hey Lilly can you pass my dress?"

Lilly smiled brightly and passed Jane's dress to her. Over the past week, I've noticed how much Jane and Lilly got along. I wasn't surprised though, since they had the same type of personality.

I was already ready and waiting for Jane to be ready. I didn't bother dressing up since I was a simple person, but I looked decent. I wore a simple cute top, jeans and my converse sneakers. I pulled my hair in a bun and applied a little lip gloss.

It was a very casual introduction, but Jane made me feel underdressed. She only wore a blue casual dress and flats, but come on. It's a dress.

"I'm ready" Jane sang excitedly, looking like nothing less than a model. She wore her mark naked and proud on the left side of her neck, and I felt so proud of her.

Scott and Jane have really made moves. Fast moves.

They were always in each other's arms, and the only time I had her to myself was when he was working. I wasn't complaining though; It was really heart warming since she always wanted to find her mate. I was nothing less than happy for her.

We exited my old room where we got ready, and Lilly led us to the pack house where wolves were already gathered and excited. It was really a happy day for everyone. They would be officially meeting their Luna and new Gamma female.

I spotted Ace, Calum and Scott at the side of the stage in the huge backyard at the pack house. It was able to hold all four hundred wolves and about half of them were already present.

Scott's face immediately lit up when he saw Jane, and so did Calum's when he saw Lilly, and Ace's when he saw me. It was indeed so cute.

"Are you ready?" Ace asked me as soon as he held me and gave me a kiss. I nodded and shot him my biggest smile.

"I am"

"Good. We're just waiting on the other pack members and some from your former pack"

My eyes widened at this new information."Some people from my pack are coming?"

He chuckled and pointed in a direction where I saw some familiar faces. "Aiden is coming. And I'm sure some of his members wanted to see you and Jane off"

I nodded in understanding and pulled my lip between my teeth, something I did when I was thinking.

"What's on your mind?" Ace, who obviously saw my reaction asked.

"Will um-will my parents be here?"

He gave me a gentle smile and pulled me to his chest. "Yes they will. Are you ready to face your dad yet?"

I shrugged and buried my face in his chest. I haven't talked to dad from the day of the almost war. At first, I told myself that I was giving him and mom space, but I talked to mom almost every day so I knew I was just making excuses.
