Lacking Humanity|Blue Moon

Chapter Eleven

* * *

Sage had awoken with the same haze as the days prior, her wolf was walking on eggshells and learned to manage on only a few decent hours of sleep.

And in the mists of taking care of pups and talking to the surrounding packs, she had a hard time in believing that killing those Alpha's was the best approach.

It was hard to deny that Sage had killed Calvin and Miles, or that Hayes killed Nathan. Not when so many enforcers had been present, but the other packs had retaliated—And there was nothing in the wind that could suggest what they were up to.

So while Sage spent the first few minutes of being awake trying to pump the milk from her achy breast, she turned to her phone and huffed.
No updates on Remus but plenty on the other dozens of problems.

Sage held the two packets in her hand as she started walking downstairs, yawing and just thinking about the refreshing glass of tea would a bit of ice would really feel like.

She caught her dad sitting at the table with Eli—with everyone as they seemed to be lingering around, so while she went to go place the milk into the fridge and she start to brew the needed caffeine, she rubbed her eyes enough to see the male in her living room.

Sage let in a deep breath, nobody told her when he was going to come back. And she didn't hear what anyone else was saying around her, but it didn't matter.

Not when she walked right up to the male and pulled him down for a hug, her Charge conforming to his Luna's hold.

"I'm sorry, Luna." He whispered, and for the first time since the Council had come to their land, Sage had smiled up to the male in a greeting.
Though her eyes had yet to return to normal.

"I told you soon." She responded by pinching his cheeks, causing him to groan. Especially when Sage's attention turned from Blake off towards Raven.

It was hard for the Luna to recall the last time she saw Raven, a day or two before she had gone to the Sanctuary. "Luna Sage...You probably don't remember me all that much but I—" It was clear that Raven regained much more of her sanity and livelihood since her time in the pack's infirmary and spending time with her Coven.
The color in her cheeks proved just that.

"Happy you're back...And healthy." She said, and when Sage pulled away she caught the bite mark featured on the witch's neck, it caused the Luna to smirk off in Blake's direction.

"Oh no, absolutely fucking not. Stop it!" He chimed in, coming closer to the females and holding his mate from behind.

"Are you doing that linking thing?"
"No. She's being sassy. Come on, I missed you, Sagey. No need to start teasing me." Raven was surely shocked that Sage had remembered her at all—Or fought so much in an attempt to find her.

But the acceptance of a closed-eyed grin sent Raven into another smile.

"Um...Luna Sage, I don't know how moving to packs works, but I was wondering if Blake and I can stay on pack grounds?" Raven asked and Sage nodded.

"Why I ask you to come back, safer."
"I heard what happened, Sage...Some badass shit for sure, sorry I missed it." Hayes rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Get something to eat, Bubbles. The pups are going to be up soon." She hummed and decided to eat outside to be able to fit everyone. It wasn't that difficult to fill in Blake and Raven, however, Sage remained silent and listened intently as she ate the feast in front of her.

Her appetite had to fill the Alpha's energy she was building up, but in the middle of it, she rose to her feet. "Do you want to meet the pups?"

"Pups?!" Blake gawked, his chair back as he followed after the Luna, but not before settling a kiss onto his mate's head—Though she felt rather singled out, even if she met everyone and recalled their names.
