Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 23

With all that information, my dad will be able to strategize a discreet plan of where, when, how and who they will be fighting.

By knowing all this, he can get the warriors trained accordingly and use the element of surprise, just like they did eighteen years ago. With this, they will have a better chance of coming out victorious.

Of course, I didn't intend for it to reach that level, but I still had to do this with Aiden. That is, until I find an alternative.

If I do.

Everything went smooth on his part, and luckily, I didn't have to do much but watch Ace eat dinner in silence. Once he got back, it was quite obvious that he was upset about me running off earlier. The only thing he uttered to me was 'I'm glad you're safe', and that was it. I tried to hide the disappointment after seeing that he wasn't making an effort to 'fix' things, but I was too stubborn and prideful to do it myself.

I forced down some also, in order to be less suspicious. So when I got the 'okay' from Aiden, I excused myself to meet him.

"That dude has a shit load of documents in there!" He exclaimed quietly as soon as I met him.

"I know, I've been in there. What did you get?"

"I tried to get onto his computer, but that was taking too long, so I went through some of the files and I found these"

He showed me a few pictures of the training schedules and the warriors' levels. I bit my lip as I saw that most of them were already at expert level.

"That's all you got?"

"Yea, I had to put them back exactly how I got them, and given the time span, I couldn't get more since I need you to hack into his computer and remove the footage of me in there"

I cursed under my breath as I remembered the cameras. I was more technologically inclined than Aiden, since he would prefer physical training than our tech classes.

"You got to hurry. Given my calculations, Ace should be done with dinner in about fifteen minutes, then he'll go for his shower and lock himself in the office till around nine, give or take a few minutes"

I watched him in awe as he mapped out Ace's evening schedule so well. I didn't even know that.

"What? We're supposed to study their behaviour so that we don't crash into them in the middle of an assignment. Now go!" I rushed inside the office, and stopped in front of the computer.

Without a glitch, I was in his system and already searching for the footage. However to my dismay, they weren't there.

"What do you mean they aren't there?" Aiden asked frustrated, running a hand through his hair when I told him what I found.

"They aren't there." I repeated sternly. "And don't tell me to look better"

"Does he have a laptop in his room? " I pondered the thought for a while. Surely, it was possible."Go check, and hurry Rox. You have approximately five minutes before he gets here"

I moved on impulse and sighed in relief when I saw a computer on a small desk tucked away in the corner of his room.

I quickly did my magic, feeling exhilarated when I found it. I quickly deleted the footage of the last hour, replacing it with an extended version of the nothingness in the office that should have been there.

Uh no, my ego was way too big.

"Yes" I muttered instead and looked away.

"You had me worried as hell Roxy" He sounded hurt, and I knew then that he wasn't upset about our argument. He was upset about me running away.

"I know" I closed the distance between us and hugged him. A part of me didn't want to, but another part of me knew that's what we both needed.

He finally sighed and held my waist tightly. "You don't know the land like that Roxy, and who knows what danger could've been out there? Please don't scare me like that again"

I simply nodded at his request and mumbled a sorry.

I guess the matter of my pack wouldn't be brought up tonight, but it was nice being with him like this.

<"We good?"> I heard Aiden poke inside my brain.

<"We good.">

And just like that, the night went well. I guess this is what killing two birds with one stone felt like.
