Justice League Unlimited Ace Novels & Stories

A single lightning bolt pierced the clear western sky once more. Diana, who hated the thought of this kind of faux supremacy, answered through gritted teeth with the hopes of consoling the second alpha. “This hybrid luna is loyal to the Alliance. I will gladly risk my life for this war if need be, Mister.” Though she was forced into submission, her words remained resolute – and dignified.

The phone call with Liam plays over in my mind, a constant reminder of the treacherous waters we’re navigating. Knowing I need to break the news to Laz, I call him over the mind link. /“Laz, can you come to my office? We need to talk.”/ He’s going to take this harder than anyone else. We all know Ares betrayed us and Laz readily accepted it, but I still don’t think he’s truly dealt with what has happened.

They wanted me alive, but they didn't care if I was broken. Leo and Ace didn't wait for my command. They moved like a single organism. Leo channeled the resonance of the ship, making the floor beneath the guards ripple like water. As they stumbled, Ace lunged, his small body hitting with the force of a full-grown wolf. He didn't use claws; he used his Kinetic Burst, a power he had inherited from the Silver Line, to knock the weapons from their hands. It was a "face-slap" to the Southern tradition. These men had trained for decades to fight Alphas, but they had no defense against the raw, unpredictable power of the Triplets.

Justin queried, hungry to know more. “I'm not so sure, but I think a steak from the magical oak tree of the infernal region can destroy whoever is trapped in the unbinding.” Ace bellowed. “What does that mean for me?” “Though you survived when Hayley killed you. You have still a fifty-fifty chance of living.” Ace said walking back to the desk where he was. “So the steak could kill me.” Justin said taking a deep breath. “You have to keep this a secret from Edmond. I have to go to work.” Ace peered at him.

The nerve of this man! "I know you don't like Natalie but you shouldn't really dismiss her like that. She's my wife and she will be the one I introduce as my Luna," Ace stated. "Ace, but—" "No buts, Jayden. I could get you punished for disrespecting my Luna so don't push it," Ace continued as he neared the chair. He wasn't looking at me as he spun the chair to face the desk and he narrowed his eyes when he saw me. "Why are you here?"

"What are you saying, Zarek? Speak plainly." He turned then, and when our eyes met, I did not recognize this man. Cold and distant, he had the face of a stranger wearing my mate's skin. "I am saying that I, Alpha Zarek of the Blood Moon Pack, reject you, Rya of the Blood Moon Pack, as my mate and my Luna. You are not worthy of my pack, my name, or my future." The words hit me like physical blows, each one a knife sliding between my ribs.

When he finally spoke, his voice was softer than I had ever heard it. "Because you've already lost everything once and chose to keep fighting. That kind of strength is rare." His gray eyes met mine, holding them with surprising intensity. "And because my instincts tell me you're exactly what you claim to be a wolf seeking justice rather than revenge." The distinction was subtle but important. Revenge was personal, often blind to collateral damage. Justice considered consequences, weighed costs against benefits. "What if my quest for justice gets your warriors killed?" I asked. "Then we'll die fighting for something worthwhile rather than huddling behind walls waiting for the inevitable." He

Then Ace's voice came through loud and clear: "— Let's get straight to the point. I want you to stay away from Luna. Since going the hard way didn't work... now I want to try the good way. So, what's your price?"

"So, what do you need?" "I've killed a lot of people and am a fugitive now," Ace said bluntly. "All my identities should be rejected by all transportation. I'm going to England. I'm going to see someone called Professor Kyoto." The man sitting in the big chair listened to Ace's words intently, The Fixer didn't want to miss any information from Ace. "I don't want my mom to make a deal with that crazy doctor. I have to stop him, but I won't go alone, I have to take Alicia with me."

Ace got his blue eyes from his mom and black hair from his dad; he was the perfect combination of the two. Seconds later, my parents came in carrying plates and drinks. After placing them on the table they took their seats next to each other beside Mr Romano. I was sitting at the end of the table, Mason was in between me and Ace who had his legs crossed on the other chair and his head resting against Mason's arm with his phone in his hands. He really didn't give a fuck as to where he was or that his parents were present. He just say what he wants, do what he wants and where he wants.
