Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 41

She kissed my cheek and I gently kissed hers as she held the door for me. With one last glance, I exited the house and walked down the porch.

"Oh and Roxy" She called. I stopped and looked over my shoulder, seeing an amused smile on her face and a glint in her eyes.

"Just thought you should know that you were born first"

And just like that, my day was perfect.

***

I sat patiently in my room as I waited for Aiden to get home. Unlike me, he still had to go to training and he didn't get back until six.

We hadn't been on talking terms since the whole 'I'm telling Ace' incident, but I was sure he would be able to look past that.

I mindlinked him and told him that it was urgent, so I simply waited for him to come home.

After what felt like forever, my door flew open revealing a beaming Aiden with two glasses in his hand.

"You sounded excited so I assumed it was something to celebrate about. And it's my way of saying sorry for overreacting the other day. I dealt with it"

He handed me a glass of sparkly liquid, but I shook my head.

"It's nonalcoholic, sister" He teased as he nudged my shoulder.

"Well in that case, thank you "

I smiled at him and tilted the glass to my head, but I stopped abruptly when I smelled it.

"It's not non alcoholic but a hundred perfect poisonous though! " I shouted as I threw it in his face.

He didn't look the least bit surprised, just a bit regretful making my heart break into a million pieces.

The ultimate betrayal.

"What were you thinking Aiden!? "

"Roxy I wasn't trying to hurt you "

I scoffed. "And spiking my drink with wolfsbane wouldn't hurt me!?"

I bathed in wolfsbane for two days straight when I had to go back home. Even the slightest amount of the wretched thing would be easy for me to scent out.

"Trust me Roxy, it wasn't meant to hurt you. I just wanted to... Well-"

I gasped so loud that I'm sure my lungs were left dry.

"You were trying to kill my baby! " I screeched. Surely, someone would've heard the commotion by now.

"Look I know you don't understand now, but I had a plan and your pregnancy wasn't safe with it. I was doing it for you"

I just hung my mouth wide open as I stared at him in complete and utter disgust. And the worst part was that he looked at me as if this plan of his was the ultimate jackpot.

"Was the mission that important to you Aiden? That you would murder your own unborn niece or nephew? "

"I'm sorry Roxy but if you would just listen to what I had planned-"

Was I being harsh?

Maybe. But you DON'T try to kill a pregnant wolf's pup. Ever.

"Roxy i'm so-"

"GO! " I shouted once again, this time throwing the champagne glass at him. But he ducked just in time and it went flying towards the door, breaking beside Ace's head as he pushed my door open.

He looked between me and Aiden for a few seconds before rushing to my side. Aiden looked as if he was about to have a panic attack, since he knew that I alone wouldn't be angry if this came out.

"What happened here? Why are you so upset? " Ace's voice was laced with concern only, and through my tears I saw Aiden gulp.

"He tried giving me alcohol and we had an argument. He was just leaving" I shot Aiden a warning look and he gave me one last regretful look before hanging his head and walking out.

And there goes the man I thought was my brother.

"I come from the pack house hearing all this shouting. You look like someone really upset you and you're telling me that it's because he tried to give you alcohol? "

Of course, it would be hard to convince Ace, but I didn't need him angry at that moment. I just needed him to comfort me.

"Just please hold me"

And i'm sure he heard just how much I needed him to do that, since he held me all night as I cried myself to sleep. I was happy that he didn't ask me the real reason, but how do I tell him that my best friend since conception just tried to take one of the most important things away from me?

I couldn't. At least not yet. And to think, the day was going so great.

So much for a perfect day.
