Shade nodded, managing a smile on his scarred face, the scars from many battles, though they were faint. He looked at her and spoke his final place on the matter. “I know you are Capella, and I am grateful for your support, let start looking for Ace.” He said finally to her before he started to walk off. He knew where to search, he could, even would, scour the lands to find him. Secretly he hoped to find her as well. He hoped to find Rose out there somewhere with a scared expression. In a situation where he could truly be her knight in shining armor, she would need him or where did she run off to?

The question kept re-appearing in his mind and even as he tried hard to subdue such thoughts, it was hard to. After all she had been him for nearly six months now. Was it because she was terrified of being a mother? Or was she even scared of him? Perhaps Nina had decided to tell his mate, whom she had once called some mean names, about his little conflict with Ari. He hoped desperately that things would work out. He had two breaks in his heart, one had been patched up a few months prior, but one was new and still bled out.

He started off at a steady and moderate pace, aiming to get to the areas he desired soon, hopefully by the morning next. The afternoon sun was still in the mid sky meaning it would be going down in a few hours, so they needed to cover as much ground as they could. They would get through his. It would be Capella, Ace and himself in search of more. They would find more to follow and more to learn, or would they have to join another pack? Only time could tell.
