Chapter 20


    The next day, I woke up feeling determined to talk to Ace. The day before was wonderful, but I had to


    make today count.


    I pulled onfortable clothes after my shower and let my hair loose, since Ace liked it better that way.


    With a pep in my step and a firm hand on my tummy, I made my way towards Ace''s office. I knocked


    two times before pushing my way through, but unfortunately, he wasn''t there.


    Deciding to wait in there, I sat on his chair around his desk and really took my time to appreciate every


    detail of his office.


    My eyes caught something on his desk, and I reluctantly retrieved the file that was opened. It was a


    monthly report of a woman''s condition. I knew, because it was written in bold at the top of the paper.


    MONTHLY REPORT OF JENNA WILSON.


    As if right on cue, Ace walked in. He looked slightly surprised by my presence, but he didn''t look


    annoyed or upset.


    "You''re up early" He said as he gave me my good morning kiss.


    "Yea I wanted to see you"


    His eyes flickered between me and the file that I was still holding, and I saw a small smile ying on


    his lips, but it was kinda sad. "I see you''ve found my mother''s file"


    My eyes popped out of my head as he said that, and I stared at the picture and name of his mom.


    "This is your mom? " I asked as if he didn''t just say that. He simply nodded and sat on his desk in front


    of me. Of course! How didn''t I see that? They had a slight resemnce, and they had the samest


    name.


    "What happened to her? " I asked carefully. I knew it might be touchy for him so I didn''t want to push it.


    But of course, Ace was more open with me than I with him. It was unfair really.


    "She has always had a mental condition, but it was easily treated by her meds. But after dad died, not


    even the medicines worked" He had a regretful look on his face, but he was being strong.


    "It says here that she''s getting better. She''s stable and her mind is clear" I tried to sound enthusiastic


    as I read over the file. He offered me a genuine smile.


    "Yea. She''s been getting visits from this mystery best friend that makes her feelfortable. I''m yet to


    meet whoever it is to thank them"


    I truly felt happy at that. "I''d love to meet her"


    "I''m actually nning on visiting her today. You cane with"


    I checked the time to see that it was 8:30 a.m . For some reason I really wanted to meet her right away.


    "Is it okay if I go ahead? I promise I will be good"


    He chuckled lightly before kissing my cheek. "Yea sure, why not? I''ll let Ryan take you to the clinic. I''ll


    be down a littleter"


    I happily jumped up and hugged him. I didn''t know why I was so happy, but I felt like I knew his mom all


    my life. With onest kiss, I met Ryan who was already waiting at the front door. He must be tired of


    taking me everywhere, but he didn''t seem to mind.


    I made a mental note to definitely tell Ace about the missionter on, but for now I just wanted to see


    Jenna.


    A few minutester we arrived at the clinic which was surprisingly small, but incredibly beautiful and


    cozy. The nurse that greeted us led the way to the visitors'' room, and I noticed some other nurses


    giving me weird looks as they sniffed the air and gazed at my neck.


    It was then that I remembered that I asked Ace to keep ''us'' from his pack until my four months were


    over. But once we talkter, our mateship can be revealed to his members and I will officially meet


    them.


    Ryan went back to his truck once I was settled in the visitors'' loungefy on a sofa. I patiently waited


    for the nurse to bring Jenna out, and when she did, I could say I was a bit surprised.


    I thought she would''ve looked the least bit sick like in the picture, but she looked happy and glowing


    like an eight year old girl. Her hair was full and dark, not a strand of gray hair showing.


    Her eyes held life and her face was brightened by a beaming smile as she neared me. Her walk was


    tall and confident, and she didn''t even wear those depressing pale gowns that some of the women


    wore. She wore a pinkce looking blouse and skinny jeans. If anyone didn''t know us, they could''ve


    easily mistaken us as sisters.


    The other women in the room beamed and waved at her as she passed, and she returned each one


    just the same. It was obvious that she was the life of this ce. I stood as she neared me, and I was


    immediately engulfed in a hug.


    "Oh my dear you are just as beautiful as he mentioned" She pulled away to stare at me, while I''m sure


    the confusion on my face was evident.


    "You know who I am? "


    "Of course I do. You''re all that son of mine talks about when he visits me. I was wondering when he


    would take you to me. "


    I smiled warmly at her and hugged her again. I wasn''t a hugger, but I was d she was so happy to


    see me. I had my doubts on the ride down here.


    "It''s really nice to meet you Jenna. I had no idea-"


    "That''s life love. I''m not crazy" Sheughed. "I know I have a condition from I was a child, but they


    mistook my mourning for being crazy"


    "I didn''t think you were crazy" I said shyly as we sat on the sofa.

    "And that is why I love you already"


    We sat in silence for a while as we just stared at each other. It wasn''t ufortable, it was like we both


    needed it. She looked oddly familiar, like I saw her in a photo or something some time back.


    "So tell me about yourself" She started, breaking the silence. I raked my mind for what I could tell her


    and proceeded to tell her about myself.


    When I mentioned that I was from the Silent Moon pack, she jumped up with a gasp and stared at me


    with an unreadable expression.
