Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 40

His rules made so much sense now. He wouldn't risk us finding mom here, so he forbade us from wandering around Ace's pack, labeling it as 'idle and unprofessional'. When in reality, he just didn't want us to see her. He instructed us to stay away from members that still had our scent, saying it would lead us one step closer to being found out. When in reality, he didn't want them to tell us about mom.

He had this all figured out. Yes he wanted back his land and members, but he just really wanted his mate. And I wouldn't blame him, but he went about it all wrong.

Maybe I was being biased, but the minute Ace took over, he should've pitched a meeting and try to negotiate terms. But maybe he thought Ace was just like his dad.

"I was upset with Jenna for not trying harder to make him let me go, but then I remembered how hard headed John was, and that Jenna wasn't well. So that kind of pressure was too much for her. I still didn't see her, since seeing her was a constant reminder of what happened. It was recently when I saw you and Aiden I decided to go visit her. I knew I needed my best friend, even though she needed me for years and I was too selfish to visit her"

"You went through a lot. You can't blame yourself" I tried to assure her.

"But she did too. I'm just glad she's better. If I had known all these years that one visit could help her, I would've gone from the moment John died. But life has its way of doing things"

She eased me out of her grasp to look me in the face. Her eyes were serious and her words were stern.

"I know my mate and I still love him so much. But I also know that my kids didn't come here to train. Whatever Blake's plan is, your mate doesn't deserve to feel the fiery part of it."

"I know" I sighed and hung my head. "But every time I try to talk to Ace about my pack, he brushes me off"

"Start with this. Tell him all that you've learnt, I'm sure he needs the clarity"

I cocked my head to the side and regarded her in confusion. "What do you mean? "

"I know that boy is trying to fix his dad's mistakes. He comes here sometimes you know, to check on me"

"Does-does he know? "

She chuckled at my scared expression but shook her head. "He doesn't know that I'm your mom. He thinks I'm a second cousin or something but I know he knows that something is off. He just never asked me what I know"

"So I should tell him the truth about the past, then I tell him about dad's plan? But what if he hates me for it? "

"He won't." She smiled and placed a hand on my tummy. "This baby is the agent that will bring peace between the two packs"

I gave her a teary smile as my heart soared for her. "You knew "

"A mother always knows when her child is gonna have a child" She pulled me into her arms again. "I just wish I was there for you growing up"

"I'll be back soon, and I'll take Aiden with me"

I hugged her one last time, and she held me for dear life as if I wouldn't come back.

"I'm counting on it" She mumbled. "And before you go... " She disappeared into the living room, returning with a yellow buttercup flower. That's when it hit me.

"It was you!" I gaped. "You were always there with your shawl that covered your head and your face and you left the bouquets for me and and-"

She laughed at my babbling and placed the flower in my hair.

"Yes it was me. I knew you loved them by just the way you looked at them. They are my favourites too. "

My finger traced the flower in my hair and I launched in for another hug.

"You have me now sweetheart, I'm here for you. I'm happy you came"

"Me too."
