Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 36

"Yea. She's been getting visits from this mystery best friend that makes her feel comfortable. I'm yet to meet whoever it is to thank them"

I truly felt happy at that. "I'd love to meet her"

"I'm actually planning on visiting her today. You can come with"

I checked the time to see that it was 8:30 a.m . For some reason I really wanted to meet her right away.

"Is it okay if I go ahead? I promise I will be good"

He chuckled lightly before kissing my cheek. "Yea sure, why not? I'll let Ryan take you to the clinic. I'll be down a little later"

I happily jumped up and hugged him. I didn't know why I was so happy, but I felt like I knew his mom all my life. With one last kiss, I met Ryan who was already waiting at the front door. He must be tired of taking me everywhere, but he didn't seem to mind.

I made a mental note to definitely tell Ace about the mission later on, but for now I just wanted to see Jenna.

A few minutes later we arrived at the clinic which was surprisingly small, but incredibly beautiful and cozy. The nurse that greeted us led the way to the visitors' room, and I noticed some other nurses giving me weird looks as they sniffed the air and gazed at my neck.

It was then that I remembered that I asked Ace to keep 'us' from his pack until my four months were over. But once we talk later, our mateship can be revealed to his members and I will officially meet them.

Ryan went back to his truck once I was settled in the visitors' lounge comfy on a sofa. I patiently waited for the nurse to bring Jenna out, and when she did, I could say I was a bit surprised.

I thought she would've looked the least bit sick like in the picture, but she looked happy and glowing like an eight year old girl. Her hair was full and dark, not a strand of gray hair showing.

Her eyes held life and her face was brightened by a beaming smile as she neared me. Her walk was tall and confident, and she didn't even wear those depressing pale gowns that some of the women wore. She wore a pink lace looking blouse and skinny jeans. If anyone didn't know us, they could've easily mistaken us as sisters.

The other women in the room beamed and waved at her as she passed, and she returned each one just the same. It was obvious that she was the life of this place. I stood as she neared me, and I was immediately engulfed in a hug.

"Oh my dear you are just as beautiful as he mentioned" She pulled away to stare at me, while I'm sure the confusion on my face was evident.

"You know who I am? "

"Of course I do. You're all that son of mine talks about when he visits me. I was wondering when he would take you to me. "

I smiled warmly at her and hugged her again. I wasn't a hugger, but I was glad she was so happy to see me. I had my doubts on the ride down here.

"You knew my mom? " I whispered. She watched me quizzingly and shook her head.

"I still know her dear. She visits me all the time. Your resemblance is remarkable and it can't be coincidence" It was my time to jump up and gape.

So it all was true. My mom was still alive. I considered the possibility that Jenna's grief was causing her to lose sight of reality, but from the documents I found, to the gut feeling ever since, told me that she was telling the truth. If my mom visited her all the time as she said, that only meant one thing. We were all in the same pack lands, and she was very much alive.

Did dad know all along? Did he lie to us? Does everyone know?

"Roxy sweetheart" She stood up to steady me. "What's wrong?"

"I-I thought my mom was dead" I whispered almost inaudibly as tears welled up in my eyes.

From the moment I found that file, I knew it was true. It couldn't be just a coincidence. But I didn't want to believe that my whole life was a lie. I didn't want to face those unanswered questions that could break the big bad Roxy Gilbert. But I guess it was inevitable.

"That's what he told you huh? " My head quickly whipped back to her, since it was the first time since I got here that she sounded detached.
