Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 5

'That's what you're here for Roxy, to find out', my subconscious reminded me.

I mentally slapped myself for doubting everything we've worked so hard for. Mind-set is everything.

I glanced at Aiden to see him with the same expression as mine, except his was filled with determination, contrasting the doubt I had. Of course, seeing the wonders of this pack only drives him more. Shame on me for resorting to doubt.

Ryan randomly pointed at things and places, telling us what they are and where we can go when we want to.

Eventually, we pulled through a long driveway, leading to a huge house that I assumed was the Alpha house since it didn't look like a pack house. We jumped out the car simultaneously, as we stared mesmerized at the house we would be staying in for the next four months. The girl in me was already squealing, wishing I never had to leave; but I had to keep focus.

The doors burst open and a girl around our age ran through, coming towards us with excitement written all over her face. After a couple seconds, I noticed she was running towards me. I made a move to run once I caught on, but she got me before I could get away.

"Oh my gosh another girl! It's so nice to meet you" She squealed as she let me go. "I'm Lilly by the way"

"Babe why are you attacking our guests?" Calum asked with a smile as he grabbed her in for a hug. I concluded that they were mates, and I had to resist the urge to gush.

"I was so excited! When we were informed that we were having trainee warriors, I didn't know there was gonna be a girl!" She stated excitedly as they made their way inside. Aiden and I followed closely behind.

"I'm sorry but I tried to keep her inside" A man, I assumed was the third in command, rushed out as we entered. "But she looked through the window and saw the girl and freaked"

"The girl's name is Roxy" I stated in annoyance. I didn't appreciate how informal these people were. They were the heads of the pack, after all.

He quickly looked at me, then a smile took over his face as he took my hand and kissed it. Weird.

"It's a pleasure Roxy" He coaxed, rolling the R of my name.

"Wish I could say the same" I mumbled lowly as I pulled my hand from his grip.

"Feisty, I like it" I bit the inside of my cheek as he winked at me, trying real hard not to punch him. But luckily for him, Beta Calum saved the moment.

"Scott, where is your professionalism? Have some respect" Calum scolded, and for the first time since I got here I actually believed that they actually knew how to be formal.

"I apologize for the confusion," Calum said. "But we're a little above schedule. You see, we weren't supposed to be back this fast, since we assumed you would've taken longer to say your goodbyes. Hence why they weren't in their usual greeting positions and why our Alpha isn't back as yet"

His face was slightly scrunched into confusion as he walked further into the room, and I could see that he was focused on something. My chest tightened and my breath hitched as he got closer. My head felt feathery and my throat felt dry. Deep down I knew why all this was happening, but I didn't want to accept it.

But the moment his eyes found mine, I knew there was no denying it.

I felt my canines pierce their way through my gum, itching to sink in the neck of this man. I also felt my eyes shift to my wolf's as I took him in, and I noticed his changed too.

He took a step closer and so did I. My body moved on its own accord like a magnetic to metal. My feet moved forward again when Aiden grabbed my hand, saving me from this wretched moment.

"Alpha Ace, this is Roxy Gilbert, one of our guests." Calum stated sneakily as his smirk grew. Playing matchmaker I see.

Wait did he say Alpha Ace?

"Rox why is he looking at you like that?" Aiden whispered fiercely as he made a move to go in front of me protectively, but I stopped him.

"He's my mate."
