Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 51

I nodded in understanding. Dennis was basically a big brother to mom, from what I've heard. His mate and my mom were pretty close too, so I guess it struck a nerve of humanity and memory when he saw her.

"I still had to lock up the bastard though" Aiden added and I chuckled. "He's lucky he and his men are alive. Ace was gonna kill them"

My eyes widened. "Ace knows?"

Aiden gave me a 'duh' look. "He was the first one I told everything. Good thing he was willing to listen. He forgave me, which I'm happy for. We have a meeting about forming an alliance soon."

I rolled my eyes at his Alpha talk so soon, but I couldn't help the twinge in my stomach. That explained why Aiden was here the other day, and why he left looking not bloody and broken. But if he can forgive Aiden, he can forgive me. Right?

"So we're good?" He nudged me with a nervous smile. I nudged him back and kissed his cheek, then rested my head on his shoulder.

"We're good baby bro"

He groaned but held me anyways. I smiled at finally winning this argument. Mom must've told him that I was born first.

"In that case, I have a surprise for you"

I perked up at surprise, already jumping up and getting dressed. I really needed a mood lifter after the week I've had.

"What is it?" I asked eagerly, pulling on a top.

"Right this way"

I followed him down the stairs and towards the living room where I heard muffled voices. They got clearer as we walked, and a very familiar scent washed my nose.

"Jane!" I squealed as I entered the living room, cutting off her and Lilly's conversation and jumping on her.

"And Jace" I heard him say with a faked hurt look on his face. I quickly shot him a smile as I released Jane and hugged Jace too.

Soon after, I pulled both of them in a long, long , long hug.

"You guys don't know how happy I am to see you."

"I thought you might need someone to talk to. I'm here for you sis" Jane mumbled and my heart soared for her.

It's not that I couldn't have talked to Lilly, but I wasn't comfortable talking about my mate that I almost screwed over, to the Beta's mate who I almost screwed over.

"Thank you, I really do"

"We can go right now if you li-"

But it also made me realize that even if we didn't start off as a fairy tale, we had a pretty good thing going. And I believe it was still there.

My dad once told me that there's nothing a real heartfelt apology and some making up won't fix, and that's exactly what I was going to do.

I quickly jogged upstairs to Ace's room, since he was barely ever in his office nowadays. I barged in without knocking, seeing him sitting in his couch with his head in his hands, obviously totally oblivious to the wonderful union that just happened downstairs.

"Ace" I called, and his head immediately shot up at the sound of my voice. He looked drained, tired and sad. I didn't like it. My wolf didn't like it. My heart didn't like it.

"Ace can we please talk?"

He looked unsure as he gave me a once over. It wasn't with disgust or repulsion, it was with longing and want. But nonetheless he was still being difficult.

"I don't wanna talk" He mumbled, resting his head in his hands again.

I huffed at how he wasn't even giving me a bloody chance. I decided that whether he liked it or not, we were gonna talk today. I'm pulling an Aiden move on his ass.

"Ace" I started again, this time with a little more sternness and determination. I definitely caught his attention, since he raised an eyebrow at me.

"We need to talk. And we're going to"
