Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 43

And here we were, going to take something by force that he was gonna give willingly. And even more.

The door swung open, revealing Ace with a smile on his face and a tray of breakfast in his hand. And to think, I only asked him for an apple.

Again, I don't deserve this wonderful man.

His face changed from his calm sweet smile to a look of concern when he took in my teary face. I wasn't crying, I just allowed the tears to fall.

"Roxy what's wrong? "

He quickly rested the tray down and rushed to my side to hold my face, regarding me worriedly. I shook my head and tried to look anywhere but his eyes, but he kept my face put.

"Ace you're too great for me. I've never done any good thing for you and I don't deserve you and-"

"Hey hey baby look at me" he gently forced my face to his so he could look me in the eye. He sweetly placed a lingering kiss on my lips before continuing. "All you have given me from the minute I met you was pure joy inside, knowing that I've found you. And you have given me so much more than you could imagine. Now what is this all about Roxy? Why are you saying such things?"

My words got stuck in my throat as I eyed the folder that I placed back on the table. His eyes followed to where it sat and a small smile played on his lips.

"So I see you've found my surprise"

"Surprise?"

He sighed in content and placed the tray full of food in front of me, before gesturing for me to sit and eat.

"Ace I can't eat right now"

He gave me a stern look. "I know you've been upset since last night, but you have to eat Roxy. You need to stay healthy and you're pregnant "

I listened to his reasoning and decided to eat the food. He then proceeded to tell me about his little surprise.

"I was never a dumb kid, so even before I became Alpha, I started looking into the case with your pack. With all the information I dug up about my pack lands, and all the information I found regarding the war, I was able to pull together everything that is rightfully your pack's. "

I sniffled through a mouth full of bacon, but Ace only rubbed my back soothingly as he continued.

"I know there's more to the war that I don't know yet, but what I do know is that I had to give back your dad what's his. My dad really had no reason keeping those people and the land. I don't know anything about their relationship, but I don't want any bad blood between us. "

"Ace"

"Let me finish. When I met you, it was just a cherry on top. It made me want to do it more and faster, so I was gonna reveal it to you when you and Aiden's four months were over. You see Roxy, I was never good with surprises, hence why I always shut you down when you asked about your pack"

And that my friends, was the look I had been dreading all night and morning. The look of total anger and betrayal. And the worst part was, I've barely even started.

"What!? That was the reason why he wasn't here this morning? I swear to god I'll kill him! "

I held onto his now pacing and shaking form, and gently pulled him back down to me.

"Ace I promise I'll explain everything, you just have to calm down okay? I know things about the war, things that you've been trying to find out. I don't think I could ever forgive Aiden for pulling that stunt, but I have to tell you why he might've done it. I have to tell you everything "

This seemed to get his attention, as he sat on his desk with a neutral expression on his face. My heart hurt at that.

I've seen a lot of Ace's faces. But his stern, serious or emotionless face was never directed at me. I took a deep breath and fiddled with my shirt as I started.

"When I saw Jenna, we more than talked about girl stuff. She told me a lot of things I didn't know. She answered some of my childhood questions and she revealed things to me that I never thought existed"

I glanced up from my lap to see his face pretty much the same, but it had a twinge of curiosity. He gave me a short nod, encouraging me to continue, and that I did.

I told him everything that Jenna told me, I told him the version I grew up knowing, I told him how I believed my mom was dead and I told him that the woman he saw wasn't a cousin, but my mom and the best friend of Jenna.

I then told him everything my mom told me, being sure not to leave out a single detail. And by the time I was finished with that section, he looked deep in thought.
