Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 2

Days, weeks, months and years in and out of classrooms, gyms, training fields and testing grounds, in and out of wolf form, will finally be put to use. I am more than ready.

I shared another look with Aiden, and he seemed just as ready as me. Maybe even more.

"So when you guys are done having your twin moment, meet me at the clearing in five. We have some fighting to do" Phillip smirked once again before jogging away.

Aiden kissed my head softly and threw an arm around my shoulder, as we both made our way to the clearing. Aiden and I were the closest siblings you could ever find. Even though we are the same age, he always treated me like a little sister, but I didn't mind. It's good to be spoilt by at least one person.

Of course, I had other friends. Phillip's son, Jace, and daughter, Jane, were my closest friends. Jace was meant to be the future Beta, so him and Aiden were extremely close. Sometimes I got jealous of their relationship, but he always assured me that nothing is stronger than a twin bond, and so far, I believe him.

We arrived at the training ground to see ten very bulky men that I recognized as some of our warriors. I knew exactly what we were about to do and I dreaded the moment that I got out of my bed today.

"In the enemies' territory, an unfortunate incident of being made can occur at any given moment. We don't train you to be arrogant fools, we train you to be wise"

Phillip paused, eying us carefully while he repeated the speech we've heard too many times.

"So, today we're going to pretend that you guys were caught, and have to escape alive. Of course, you will have to fight before you can live. And remember, never surrender." He looked us dead in the eye. He could be scary sometimes.

"These men will be fighting you both, together. Never leave each other's side"

He didn't have to tell us twice.

"Your goal is to take them down and escape to the border of our territory alive." He ended with a nod to the warriors, telling them to attack.

I hated this exercise, I always ended up with some broken bones. We didn't master it until two years ago. We often 'died' in the fighting or on our way to the border.

Even though we learnt how to take them down and escape successfully, I still hated it.

But we had to do whatever it takes to get what we want. And if all we had to do was get a few broken bones, I'll do it.

Whatever it takes.

Three fractured ribs and a busted face later, Aiden and I were sitting at the border, enjoying the rush of the river as it tickled our toes gently.

I stared at the land across the river, the land that used to be ours. The land that will be ours once more.

I had a feeling that one of the reasons why we were sent to the border so regularly in our training, was to remind us what we lost, and what we ought to get back. It motivated us to train and to fight.

She'll always be a part of us no matter what.

Dad gestured for us to sit as we made our way across the table. Both of them had papers and documents neatly aligned across the table.

This is going to be a long meeting.

"So as you know by now, you will go undercover in our neighbouring pack to carry out your mission" He started, suddenly serious, so we matched his demeanor.

"You will leave next week" Phillip stated nonchalantly, but I could see that he was excited for us.

Our seriousness was long gone as we fist bumped the air with whispered cheering. We were finally going on our mission.

The meeting went on for quite a while. We were told that we were going undercover as 'chief warriors', where Aiden would be taught their fighting skills, and learn their strategies.

I, on the other hand, would be observing and making notes, compiling and strategizing their moves and skills to put them to proper use. Like a warrior supervisor. This was odd, given that we were basically fully trained warriors, so our acting skills would have to come in handy.

I could tell that Aiden didn't like this, since he knew so much and will have to act like he doesn't while taking instructions from other non-Alpha blooded wolves. However, Father convinced him that he should focus on the main goal, which he seemed content with.
