Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 11

"Yep. I need a cold bath"

"I can join you if you want. I give a mean massage" He said suggestively with a smirk. I playfully hit his chest with a laugh, earning a laugh from him too.

Our laughter died down and I found myself staring in his beautiful hazel eyes. He gently removed some of my hair that was stuck to my forehead, as he peered into my soul, making my body grow weaker by the second.

His eyes quickly darted to my lips, which I involuntarily bit, making him growl lowly. His eyes found mine once again, but this time they held want and longing.

He started to lean in slowly, and I couldn't bring myself to move. I knew this would cause trouble later, but in that moment, I just wanted to escape from reality, and a kiss from my mate could do just that.

"Roxy!"

I quickly jumped from Ace's hold, turning abruptly to see Aiden moving towards us. I was slightly relieved, but my chest felt heavy at the same time.

<"What the hell are you thinking!?"> He screamed at me through our mindlink as he approached us with a smile, though I knew it was only to fool Ace.

<"I got caught up okay! It's really hard to resist"> I replied truthfully.

He immediately shut off the connection to me, and I cringed. This was when I knew he was mad, since he never shut me out. Ever.

"Hey man," Ace greeted as Aiden stopped in front of us, totally oblivious to the tension.

"Hey guys. I was looking for Roxy, and Calum said I could find her here. Do you mind? I would like to talk with her" Aiden stated as he held my shoulder.

"Yeah that's cool. I'll see you guys back at the house." With that, he threw his towel over his shoulder and gave us a nod before leaving.

My wolf let out a low whimper which unintentionally came out of my mouth. Aiden's eyes immediately shot out of his head when he heard.

"Really Roxy? It's been two days and you're already falling for him? You told me you could deal with it"

"I know okay? But it's harder than I thought" I replied honestly with a frustrated sigh. He ran his hand over his face before leading me outside where we had more privacy.

"What was our number one rule Rox?" He asked as soon as we were out of hearing capacity.

"Never get attached" I mumbled, having heard it so many times over the years.

"Exactly. And it's been two days and you're already breaking the biggest rule. What next huh? You're gonna go tell everyone why we're really here?"

But now, that was all taken from me.

'You can always find a new mate, it happens all the time,' my subconscious told me. But was that what I even wanted?

A mate is a sacred gift from the moon, and we're to cherish them with all our hearts. But how can I do that when I have so much to lose?

I sighed as I got up, walking back to the house.

I made a vow to my pack and brother, and I didn't intend on breaking it. This mate bond will slow me down, but it won't stop me. I'll just have to find a way around it.

Above all that, I had to do the right thing and I knew exactly what I had to do.

I freshened up and grabbed dinner, which I ate in my room again. It was getting late and I knew I had to make my move now. I made my way to his bedroom door with determination in each step. I stopped for a split second, but immediately shook the doubt from my veins.

Knocking softly, I heard shuffling around his room before the door opened widely, revealing his face to me. I took a deep breath as I confidently stepped inside.

"Roxy?" He asked, a little shocked, but happy at the same time. "What are you doing here?"
