MasukEmma“Ready to g—” Ace turns around, his question getting stuck in his throat as he looks up at me. I giggle softly because he is a pro at keeping the perfect poker face, but this one slipped. “Sure, let’s go.” “How do I look?” Serena jumps right in front of her brother, and he answers, his eyes
Emma“We are somewhat used to Kai pulling idiotic stunts, but I thought you would do better,” Uncle Hendrick reprimands him, getting a scoff from Ace. He averts his gaze shortly while he approaches us, before setting it back on us. “I can’t possibly go against orders of the Alpha King, can I?” I f
