Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 47

Despite what he tried to do yesterday, my heart broke for him as I saw the expression on his face. I knew exactly what he was feeling, and that made it hurt more. Dad simply hung his head as expectant eyes from our pack gazed awestruck between the two of us.

"What?" Aiden's voice was barely audible, but it was there.

"She's been here for eighteen years. Dad's motive wasn't only to get back the land and people back, it was to get her back. So he trained us like lions to go on this crazy mission, just because he was too prideful to talk to John and too cowardly to pitch a meeting with Ace when he took over.

"He lied to all our lives, making us believe our mom was dead. He kept the truth from the pack too. He didn't feel the mate bond break, only the pack bond. So when everyone thought she was dead, he knew the truth all along"

Torn faces and sad eyes could be seen everywhere. Even Ace's pack members looked as if they would hug us to make us feel better. We were all victims here, controlled under the Alpha's influence and lies, just to avenge his mate from a man who's dead. Dad's eyes finally met mine again, and it was safe to say it was the first time I've seen him like this.

"Why dad?" I whispered through my tears.

"I-I.."

"Blake?"

Every head whipped to the source of the voice, and there stood my mom in all her beauty. My eyes went back to dad as he just stood there with a look on his face that would make a big man cry.

My eyes then travelled to Aiden, and all my anger for him vanished when his face mimicked dad's. We were twins and we went through the same thing, but I knew that he was always a little bit more affected by our mom's absence.

Dad took a step towards where she emerged from the trees. His steps were slow and she seemed glued to her spot too. Her eyes glossed over and her face daubed with a mixture of relief, want and pain.

Everyone just watched in awe as he stopped a feet away from her and fell to his knees. He wrapped his arms around her slender legs, buried his face in her skirt and I watched as my father, the big bad Alpha, broke down in raw and fervent tears.

I slowly turned around to ogled Ace's reaction. He had a blank look on his face as he watched the reunited family. And even after all that happened today, I knew he would still follow up on his work to dad. He didn't even look mad, he just looked at peace for them. Despite everything that happened, he understood-- he cared.

But that all changed as he turned to me. He wasn't angry anymore, but he certainly wasn't okay. He didn't even say anything to me. He just looked at them again, then to me, turned around and walked away.

Of course he would feel more hurt towards me, even if I didn't form the plan. The fact of the matter was that I kept something from him that could've potentially ruined him and his pack.

No matter my reason, no matter my attempts and no matter what I did to try and fix it, I had hurt him.

And no amount of training could've prepared me for this kind of internal battle.
