Zipping up the last of her bags, Runa let out an exhausted sigh. She has packed for five straight hours and was tired. She thought about what would happen once she gets to the Annual Ball but more importantly who was going to be there.
“Milo, do I have to go?” She says to her best friend who was packing his stuff as well. They shared a room.
“Yeah. Alpha wants us to go plus your old pack is crazy as hell.” Milo referred to the rumors of how her old pack turned so south. “Plus I want to find my mate, you know this only happens once a year.” Last year she didn’t go, too afraid of seeing him.
The Annual Ball of the werewolves was to begin tomorrow night. They were supposed to leave earlier but there had been problems with her current pack right now. Runa’s mind slowly traveled to him. The mate that rejected her five years ago.
Shaking her head, she made sure she had everything packed and when she did she made no mistake to turn back around. “Finally ready?” Her alpha, Alpha Killian, says as he pats her head.
“Yes sir.” She said noticing Milo was behind her.
“Alright then let’s leave shall we.” Alpha Killian said then walked away.
Runa kept herself busy as she got into their SUV. About twenty of them heading to the town that was strictly for werewolves and this event. There were over millions of werewolves so they had to make sure there was enough room for everyone.
Runa felt nervous as she began picking her fingers, something she always did when she was nervous. Was she truly going to be fine? She felt Milo holding her hand tightly. “It’s going to be okay. I’ll be with you every step.” He reassured which she smiled and nodded.
She had changed. Yet why did she feel so overwhelmed and nervous? Shaking her head, she saw one of her superiors enter the car. “So are they there?” She asked him, his name was Frank and he was kinda like a butler that everyone close to the alpha gets.
“Yes, they are. Your father and mother and your siblings are all there.” Humming she nodded. “Also he-
Cutting him off she glared. “Please don’t.” After that, Frank just obeyed and started the drive.

After the long-awaited drive, morning had set and they were finally in the packhouse they were assigned to stay at for the six months of their time.
Frightened they step out of the car, Milo holding her hand tightly. He knew how much seeing the mate that rejected her would feel so he always supported her. Though the thoughts of her old pack never left her mind.
Stepping out of the car she hears her name called and she looked up seeing her sister and brother, Dante and Molly. They ran up to her and hugged her so tightly, Runa felt like the wind was knocked out of her. “We missed you so much Runa.”
“Can’t breath...” She said sarcastically which they loosened their hold and then stepped away. Runa got a good look at them.
Moly's hair has now grown and it’s still its same dirty blonde. The same color as their mother’s. And then Dante with his same curly hair but his height inched a few and his voice had become deeper.
“I wasn’t expecting you to come here. Not after the last five Annual Ball meets.” Molly said with a sad look.
“Same here,” Runa said with a smile, pulling them both in another hug telling them how much she missed them dearly. Their tears and cries are heard and that made Runa’s held back tears pour.
Runa then heard a small gasp, looking up she saw her mother. The same blonde hair from years ago, the young face that she has, she never gets old and she always stayed so beautiful. “Runa my baby.” Her mom said, running up to Runa and slinging her arms on her.
Hugging her back Runa says, “Mom, hi.” Runa feels her mother stroking her hair which Runa missed dearly. “I miss you so much.”
“I missed you too. Where were our calls? Why did you leave us? Why?” Her mother bombards with questions, her siblings just becoming mute since they wanted answers as well.
Choking her tears away, Runa pulled away. “I’m sorry. We can talk about it later.” Her mother simply nodded, lifting her hand to her cheek and squeezing it a bit.
“Well, let me get a good look at you. You’re still as beautiful as ever.” Blushing she shrugged and gave into her mother’s affection. She then heard a small but manly throat clear, it sounded familiar.
Looking to the side she sees her father with a grimaced smile. “I think it’s my turn now Mars,” he said, referring to the nickname he has given her. Her real name was Marley.
Hugging Runa dearly, he lifted his daughter from the floor as if she was still a little girl but she wasn’t. “Oh come on dad, I’m not a little girl anymore, I’m twenty-two now.”
“Don’t care.” He teased, letting her go and giving her one last hug. He sets her down and looks at his daughter. She looked completely different than five years ago.
But it was good. After the events that had happened. “How are you dad?” Runa asked with a smile.
“Oh you know, werewolf things. Not that it’s important, I would love to hear what you’ve been up to for the past five years.” Her father asks with a determined look.
“I’ve been... training with a new pack.” Just the mention of a new pack made her mom and siblings whimper. Even her dad that was always so tuff looked defeated.
She looked around noticing another member of her family wasn't there and she sighed, “Now where is Vinnie?” She asked, but she felt a hard glare on her body and she turned around and saw her older brother, who is the beta of this pack, giving her a look.
“What the hell.”
Alpha Ace Chapter 1Feeling a powerful glare on her, she crinkled down. “Hah? What’s this? You think you can just disappear and act like you’re forgiven?” He said. She expected this the much she just didn’t expect it to be so straightforward.“What Vin-”Cutting her off with a glare and a low growled, he spoke up, “Shut the fuck up. I’m not finished. Mom and dad went crazy, even the little ones and you didn’t even call. Do you know scary that’s been for five fucking years?”Her mother stepped in and glared at her son. “You know what she went through. You know how much your alpha has caused her so much pain.” Her mother defended ing, pulling her child in her arms.
Smiling at his work, Milo turned her around to the mirror and showed Runa the work he did on her face. “Well, what do you think?”“You’re good as ever Milo. This is your best work.” She referred to her makeup. Milo was good at makeup and wanted to work at a beauty salon when he finds his mate. That’s when he wants to settle down. “Why thank you Runa.” He smiled, kissing her cheek and then looking at himself through the mirror. “You don’t think my suit is too much?” He asked.He was dressed in a red suit that made him look dashing. “What do you mean? Your suit looks great and makes you pop out.” She winked. He only laughed and played with his hair more.
Alpha Ace Chapter 3Walking down the steps of her parent's packhouse, the glares or remarks to Runa made her expect this. She ignored them and stayed close to Vinnie since he was the nearest.“Werewolves of the pack, Lilt Honors, we may now proceed to the Annual Ball.” Her father had yelled to his pack members, giving them the hoot and holler to do as they please. Going in last, the family all admired mom and the community team for the work. “Wow, mom this is beautiful, definitely better than last year,” Vinnie said, their mother just rolling her eyes.“Well, I had to go extra since Runa was coming home. This was last minute though.” Her momblushed which her husband
Wiping her tears, she went to the edge of the window of the big castle they were in and sighed. Why was it so hard for her to move on? Why couldn't she just accept that she needed to change? There were no feelings in his eyes and they looked happy.Runa sighed looking up, she had realized she was lost now. Cursing she decided to check up on Stella, “Stella where are we?” “I don’t know Runa. Mind linking isn’t working right now.” She had yawned, “I’m going back to sleep.” Stella was the sleeper. But surprisingly she was strong for a sleeping wolf.She was about to cry some more but felt someone tap her shoulder which causes her yep and scoot away from the window. There was a little boy with chocolate on his
Alpha Ace Chapter 5Runa had a peaceful sleep. You know those nights of sleep where it feels like you’re the richest of rich and you’re happy with your mate and your pups? Oh, and you’re taking family photos, going bowling, and doing family lovely stuff?Yeah, that was her dream.Until she was woken up by a knock. She checked the time and it was four am, barely even a day. Why why why? She went to the door and opened it with an exhausted yawn. Looking up she saw it was Alpha Ace though he didn’t look pleased.“Where’s my kid?”“Ahh you’re too loud and he’s sleeping.” She said, half t
So first they stopped at a random shop that she used to attend to when she was younger. “O-oh my god, Runa?” The owner of the shop, Dorthy, exclaimed as she rushed to Runa. “You’re back I thought it was a myth.”Giggling Runa hugged her back, “How are you Dorthy?” Dorthy and Runa were close. Every day, well before she ran off, she would come to her shop of great food and would relax her mind. Dorthy was also a great listener.“I’m good love. I’ve missed you terribly. Oh? Who's this little guy here?” Dorthy noticed the shy boy that hid behind Runa’s leg. “Don’t tell me you have a kid before me.”Chuckling, Runa shook her head. “No, he’s not my son. And anyway, can you get us your finest food, something that will fill this little boy's tummy?” Runa asked as she picked him
It was around five when Runa dropped off Ryan to Ace, he was a little mad but Ryan made him calm down. She was now in her bed, clutching her pillow to herself as Molly soothes her back. “He’s such the fucking ass. I swear I’ll slap that cocky smirk of his.” Molly threatens.“Don’t go slapping anyone Molly, he’s still an alpha.” She reminded her timid sister which she just rolled her eyes childishly.“I know that but he shouldn’t even be here. What would Marlene think?” Molly scoffed as she sat on the end childishly. Runa just sighed.Vinnie and Dante were quiet just letting them talk. “I swear I would have ripped his heart out right there if I could,” Vinnie said darkly. Dante agreeing with his older brother. “He looked like an ass with that smirk of his.”
They went to a random place and took their seats. Runa noticed that they were close to Alpha Ace and his pack. “Hi, Runa,” Ryan whispered as he leaned over the table with a smile.“Hi, little one. Are you eating your vegetables?” She whispered back which he nodded, stuffing some broccoli with cheese on top in his mouth. “Good boy.”Her father noticed the interaction and smiled, “You’ve become very close to that boy. You do know his father correct?”Smirking delightfully, she nodded and turned back to her plate, “Of course I know his father. He’s very deadly, wouldn’t want to piss him off.” She joked but her father looked like he was being serious.“Just be careful when you’re near that pack, you know they are truly devils.” He
