He hadn't had the pack for very long. But by this point, he was sure everyone if not most of them had settled. He ghosted his way over to the ship that sat forever buried on the arctic field, the alabaster titan staring out towards the ocean. His foxes sat nearby, both sensing the mood and knew why he was feeling a certain way. There were certain plans he wanted to do for seasons now, and he wasn't quite sure when the best time to do it was until now. With Tyranis in his pack, his former brother no longer had the sanctuary or support of a family, nor walls to hide behind. Their last encounter had ended in Acere's favor, his brother now scarred and half blinded for life, but it had never been enough of a punishment after what he did. Acere stood there like a statue, feeling the emotions of that day tug at his breast. The sadness and grief for his murdered niece...the anger at his brother. The gravity of the situation had caught him off guard, and he never thought Elias would do that to the children he claimed to love. Now that he thought about it, it was very much possible that Elias had lied about his mate and other kids gone missing. Acere was starting to think that that hadn't actually happened, and instead was being used as a cover up. The king had every reason to believe that the tyrant Praetor had murdered them, too.
He had absolutely no reason to doubt those thoughts, either. Elias had proved himself unstable time and time again, as well as untrustworthy and manipulative...Elias simply didn't know what love was, nor did he seem to understand it. He never did. And truth be told...Ace felt he should have taken it upon himself to end him before all of the others had gotten hurt. Before Domina had gotten killed. Perhaps if he had acted sooner...she'd be here, alive. The only good that had come out of that bastard, were the kids. But everything else? He shook his head slightly as his gaze narrowed and his brows knit together. His mind was made up now. It always had been since that day. And probably even before that. Drawing in a deep, shaky breath, he tilted his head back and called together his niece and nephews.
