Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 7

"Uh yeah," I said in a 'duh' tone as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I mean, we're kinda identical for the most part. Only difference is that Aiden had sandy blonde hair from our mom while I had a mixture of cinnamon and chestnut brown hair from my dad. He also looked slightly older than me and his eyes were a shade lighter than min- okay their confusion is justified.

"That is so cool! Who came out first? " Ryan asked excitedly.

"Me" We both announced at the same time. We resorted to our signature stare off, something we always did whenever we had the 'who was born first ' argument. We never had our mom around to tell us and our dad never knew, so we both settled on our own theory.

Someone clearing their throat brought us back to reality, and that's when I noticed that our bags were already gone to our rooms.

"If there isn't anything else, I would like to get settled please" I said to no one in particular.

"I'll show you to your room" Lilly suggested excitedly but was immediately shut down by Ace who offered to take me there personally.

"I'd love for you to show me Lilly" I smiled at her, completely ignoring Ace. She looked to him for permission in unsurity, but he nodded after a while when he saw my determination. The hurt was evident on his face but I forced myself not to let it bother me.

"Maybe she's just tired bro. She'll come around" I heard Calum say before I disappeared up the massive staircase.

We stopped in front of a huge double door bedroom and I almost continued walking, not wanting to believe it was mine. Lilly pushed the door open, revealing a large bedroom that I could only assume belonged to a queen.

Our rooms back home were big, but this was something else. I had a king size bed for myself, and my luggage was already placed neatly beside the closet.

By just looking at it, I could tell it was a big closet and a part of me wished I had all my clothes to put in there. I could see that there was a bathroom attached to the bedroom, but at least that was something we had back home.

"You like?" Lilly asked, fiddling with her waist length red hair. She's so beautiful.

"Uh yea this is good thanks" I genuinely smiled at her, feeling drawn to her hospitality and friendliness. Not getting attached seemed so far fetched.

Focus on the mission Roxy!

"You know, he's a really nice guy" She blurted out of the blue.

"Who? " I totally knew who she was talking about, yet I asked.

"The Alpha" She laughed "Once you get to know him, trust me you won't want to let go"

That was exactly what I dreaded. I couldn't let this mate bond get the best of me. From what I've learnt and seen, it's almost impossible to resist. But there have been a few who resisted it.

Was he one of those mates who are strictly primal and doesn't care if I'm ready or not? Will he mark me against my will? Will he demand my submission strictly because we're mates?

I let out a breath when I heard him walk pass, but it was short lived as I heard him back up, stopping right at the door.

I heard a few soft knocks at first, but I laid still. Eventually they stopped and he spoke instead.

"Hey, take all the time you need. I'll be ready to talk anytime you're ready. If you want to find me, I'm at the first door on the third level, or the last door at the end of the hall" His voice was barely a whisper, gently as a dove. I then knew my earlier suspicions were disregarded, and I had to acknowledge the relief I felt.

However, I remained silent, not wanting to give him any mixed signals or hope. So eventually he took it as a sign to go, leaving me to my thoughts.

My wolf whimpered loudly for a while until it actually became audible from my lips. I felt bad that I was hurting them both, but whichever road I choose, I'll be hurting someone.

I thought the hardest thing in my life was beating those 10 men and running to the border, but this topped that completely.

I had no idea how I was going to continue and complete this mission with my sanity still in tack, but I had to.

One way or the other.
