Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 21

"Ow! What was that for? " Ace whined after I hit him on his arm.

We were walking back to the Alpha house after having a long, long make out session. Once we started, it was almost impossible to stop.

For me at least.

"That was for not kissing me sooner! I can't believe how much I was missing out"

"In my defence, if this was two weeks ago you wouldn't have let me touch you " He chuckled, pulling me closer to his side to give me a quick peck.

I pondered on his words for a while, knowing how true it was. "Good point " I smiled sweetly at him. "But maybe if you did, I would've warmed up sooner"

He gave me a lopsided smirk and held me in place. "I guess that's my weapon if I should ever get you on your bad side again" He mumbled and brought his lips to mine again. I gladly returned the kiss since it was now my favourite thing to do.

A gasp from behind us made us pull apart. I turned to see a woman around mid forties staring at us in some kind of daze.

Actually, she was looking at me in some kind of daze.

My mind finally cleared, and that's when I picked up her scent. She wasn't a member of Ace's pack, she was from my pack. I matched her reaction as I slowly stepped towards her. But before I could reach her, she shifted and ran off in the woods.

I stood awestruck, not knowing what to do or say. Do I follow her? Why did she even run?

Ace gently held my shoulder, and I noticed I had unintentional anger towards him. I jerked away from his hold and glared at him.

"She's from my pack"

"I know," was all he said, looking as if I just told him that I'm a girl.

"That's all you have to say? You have my pack members captive here and all you can say is I know?"

"I don't have anyone captive Roxy" He tried to sound calm but the vein popping out of his head said otherwise.

"Why are you upset? You're the one who has people locked up in your pack that DON'T BELONG HERE! "

"I'm not my father Roxy!" I was taken aback by his tone and volume that I even stumbled a little. "I'm not my father" He repeated in a softer tone. "And I don't intend on being like him either"

What benefit could it possibly have to him? Did he want power that much?

He made it clear that he wasn't his father, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions like that, but could you blame me?

I knew some of my pack members were here, but it didn't quite occur to me until I saw that woman. She obviously recognized me, even though I was just a toddler when they were taken.

I also noticed that she didn't become a member of this pack. Maybe the former Alpha had some decency and didn't forcefully make them members.

I guess that's the one good thing.

I ran until I noticed that I was indeed lost, but I wasn't worried. Ace had also shifted and was chasing me, but thanks to my unnatural speed and all the twist and turns I took, I was able to lose him.

I could run really fast in wolf form. On a good day, I could actually outrun Aiden. It wasn't easy to outrun an Alpha, but the rage and hurt I was feeling was enough fuel for me to lose him.

I trod slowly with my tongue hanging out as I took in my surroundings. I was still on high alert since I was in strange lands and alone. My ears perked up as I heard at the sound of running water, so I followed the sound until I saw the river.
