Chapter Three

But Ace was right– finding her won't be enough. He had to make right what he made wrong. He would step down from the Alpha position and took Trevor and him mum's advice and claim her. That was it, he was going to do it and if it meant leaving the pack and interwar in the pack because of the power vacuum, so be it. Tasha was his and he would claim her 

             He didn't need to tell her pack all this– they wouldn't believe him anyway. They won't tell him anything if he tell them , they'll just think he's lying just to know her whereabout. 

   

      Onyx was a powerful Alpha with powerful connections, there's no pack she'd be hiding he wouldn't find her . 

           "Onyx?" He turned, meeting Ethan's eyes. 

                 "Let her be." Ethan said. 

         

     "No going to happen, if you want to start war between our packs, so be it." With that said Onyx marched out of the room. 

   

   

    

Ethan sighed deeply as the door closed. They had hid Tasha well, all the way to north Carolina. And Ethan had called in favors of some packs along the way to lead false trail, and then taken a private jet to Washington DC, they had also make sure no to place her in any pack, instead she's disguising as a human and Onyx won't know to look for a human, but seeing the look on Onyx's eyes Ethan wondered if he wouldn't find her anyway. Not that Ethan blamed him, he would have done the same were the roles reserved. 

          Ethan glanced at his wife give her a look that clearly said "I told you so" ,Tala had predicted that Onyx won't bother to hunt her down. 

    She signed. "Ya you're right. You're smart." She gave him a look. 

     "Should we inform Tasha that he's looking for her?" Ethan asked.

      Tala shook her head. "I spoke to her a few days back and she seems happy to start a fresh, she's started to get settled there, she'd only start panicking if she was told about Onyx and his hunt, there's a very good chance he won't find her. I don't think he'll for once imagine her living with the humans." 

     Ace shook his head. "I don't know, he's got a very good connections, from being an alpha and when he went to prison as a kid." 

       "What? How the hell did he ends up in prison?" Tala asked.

     "When he was fourteen, he was involved in a fight with a human with the human ending up dead. The human judge almost gave him a life sentence but since it was self defense he was kept there till he turned eighteen."

      "Fuck." Tala said. If the incident involved only a wolf, it would have been dealt with in the pack but since it involved a human, the human authority deals with it." 

            "Fuck yes." Ethan had heard about the shit that goes down In the juvenile prison and he had respect for those who got out in one piece. Since the juvenile was ran by human they tend to "punish" any shifter that got in. 

      "So when I said he has connections, I meant it." Ace said, running his hand through his brown hair. "Shifters always almost form a little pack in a prison and they all like to keep in touch with each other. Trevon served at the same time as Onyx. It might be in Tasha's best interest to let her know, so she'd keep a low profile." 

      After a quick thought Tala shook her head. "What type of new life would she have, if she'd have to always look back to see if the big bad wolf have not catch up to her?" 

         Zeeb, one of the enforcer who had an ugly scar on his right cheek frowned. "Onyx's also right though. Claiming her would put her in danger." 

     Jim, an enforcer that Ethan doubted he had ever heard said anything spoke. "Zeeb is right. I've see it happened before." 

         "I wouldn't be so certain about that." Tara said.

    Ethan looked at his mate, noticing her slow smile. "What do you mean?" 

   She took a sip of her drink. "She'd not a damsel in destress, trust me . You remember we grew up together and we also trained together. And am very good." 

  Ethan winced, remembering how she had use his own body to fight him when they were sparing. "Can't disagree with that." 

    

       "Well, Tasha taught me." 

   

       Ace's raised his brows."Tasha?" 

          Tara nodded. "Her father was ex Marin and taught her how to fight and handle weapon because remembered when he was also considered the weakest in the pack because he was human." 

       Ace chuckled. "So, she's not as weak as everyone thought." 

    Ethan's smiled. "Yes, Onyx had been fooled by her innocent face, well if he did find her, he'll sure as hell be in for a surprise."
