When Did Ace Join Whitebeard Novels & Stories

"When the dagger stabbed you, you released tremendous power. All I know is when I woke up and saw everyone was dead except me, you, and our twins." "It's impossible," I squeaked softly. "But that's what happened." Ace squeezed my fingers with an intense gaze that wouldn't leave my eyes, then said, "All the Salvatorians and the Hunters are dead." "Did Jared die too?" I asked spontaneously. The look on Ace's face changed. He looked displeased when I asked about Jared. "Sorry," I regretted. "No need to apologize." Ace snorted softly. "I just didn't think you'd still remember him after over a decade," he continued.

I replied, this time more determined and sure. I get it now, it’s like he’s telling me that Xihizo might just be bluffing. Or in fact, he may not actually be the real Xihizo. And right now, he is being careful. We just needed to see through his weakness. “Oh and babe? Ace is already on the move, You don’t need to worry about anything anymore.” WAIT, WHAT?!! HOW DID HE?! Who told him about it?! Geez so much for hiding it.

“In my opinion, I think I’ve been a nice guy to you, Angelina. I’m willing to risk my life to save you, but the way you stabbed me in the back when things came to a precipice? God, you didn’t even hesitate, did you? “I guess that means we’re even now. This is goodbye, Angelina. You and I are now on different paths. You could apologize to the White Family if you like…so long as they accept your apology, that is.” Accept her apology? As if! After she had turned against them so brazenly for the whole world to see, the Whites could not possibly accept her apology even if their interests aligned. The only solution left for the Soroys was to ally themselves with the Kerseys.

"Since Veris described what the leader originally intended. Yes." "It is not the same as joining the Syndicate as it was." "No. It is the opposite of that." "It still puts you inside an organization with eleven years of operational history. We do not fully know that history." "Yes. With her senior tier. I will spend the first six months mapping them completely." "And us. What does it mean for us." Ace met my eyes. "It means I have standing. Real standing. Not just the standing I borrowed from the Volkov organization. I come to this as a partner. I do not come as a person who needs protection."

~14~ Right after the union formalities ended, a ceremony followed. It was then that Minsi was introduced to almost everyone in the hall. There were a lot of people. Ace told her the attendees were only half of the people of the Mistwood pack and that she should prepare to meet with more people in the near future. For what’s worth, Minsi wasn’t nervous or scared anymore. It’s like something has switched for good inside her the moment she got united with Ace. She could feel a strong confidence swirling deep inside her. It’s like magic how things have suddenly switched for her. And she loved every second of it. This was her home, her people, and her family. And she would do whatever it takes to

Ace quietly wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Where is Angel?" She asked after the kiss. "I sent her to school." Ace nibbled Scarlet's cheek in adoration. "I came home today early in the morning at five. After you called, I immediately booked the flight and flew here. I took a rest for a few minutes, prepared breakfast, and sent her to school." Ace played with her hair that was falling on her face. "I did not want to disturb you, since you did not have a good night's sleep." Will Ace be able to trace the culprit and protect Scarlet?

She was the Moon Goddess’ blessing. Without her, the pack was suffering. But he couldn’t tell anyone. And he refused to reveal where she was. --- *ACE POV* I heard the door creak open. I didn’t turn. I already knew who it was. Only the Alpha would barge in without knocking. “Ace,” he called. I kept facing the wall. Sitting on my bed. This had been me ever since we came back from Blossom Grey.

Ace didn't come back that whole day, and Savannah wanted to ask her grandfather about the man. She spent almost the entire day outside, waiting for Ace's return. She walked around the mansion with Marina following her. She's in the backyard. It was windy, and it made her feel better, so she kept walking.

“Or we could *not* incite another war.” “Boring,” Dawson said, but he was smiling. Ace stood abruptly, the movement cutting through the chatter. “Walk with me.” It wasn’t a question. *** We stopped at the edge of the roof, the wind stealing my breath. Ace’s thumb traced the scar on my wrist—a souvenir from the bridge. “You did it,” he said. “We did.” “No.” His voice frayed at the edges. “You. You remade the world.” I turned to face him. “I just followed your lead.”

I said and he chuckled. "You have Alexa. I'm sure she's more than family to you." I smiled and nodded. I let him go and held his shoulders. "You better find Riaz and you both better be safe," I said and he nodded. "Trust me." "In that case, Ace Whitewood, I, Akira, alpha of Whitepeak Pack, let you go on this quest." "Thank you, alpha." He bowed respectfully and I patted his shoulder. He raised his head and faced Alexa whose eyes were swollen with tears.
