The air around them is thick with tension, every wolf on high alert. Ace exhales slowly, his thoughts sharp as he looks around at the gathered wolves.
Each of them understands the weight of the situation, the risk they all face. But right now, his mind is set on one thing--Adele.
His gaze moves across the group before landing on Kieran. His voice is calm, but firm when he speaks.
"Well, I think we should still summon Blake because I had some other plans going on," Ace states, watching the way Kieran's expression shifts subtly. Another plan going on?!
Kieran's eyes flicker with something unreadable, his jaw tightening slightly, but he doesn't interrupt.
Ace hesitates for a brief second before turning fully to him, realization dawning.
"I know," he says, his voice quieter, almost hesitant. "I'm sorry... I should have told you."
