Lacking Humanity|Blue Moon

Chapter Three

* * *

Sage was thankful that the house was filled with people, all the Elwoods, Hayes, and the higher-ups. But sweet goddess above, Sage had never craved chicken anymore in her life than she did right in this very moment.

Julia knew and had Gigi prep them since the first howls, even Remus was stuck at the table with his mate. Scarfing down the food in front of him while the pups were being entertained for ten minutes.

It was good to introduce them to others of their kind, especially those they would see the most on any given day. Amy had no problem with the idea of two Alpha pups to nanny, she liked the challenge.

And right now, Remus couldn't think properly about hiring another nanny. However, Hayes couldn't hide it any longer when Harlow had called him.

"Hey—Yeah, yeah that's fine. Talk about that later—Let me enjoy holding my grand pup. Call you later." Hayes pretended to hang up the phone, and Sage giggled at the roar on the other end.

So Hayes simply changed the call from voice to a video call.

"That was mean...." Sage directed at her father, and Harlow growled in confirmation.

"How're you doing, Mama wolf?"
"Really good!" She smiled, and anyone could tell that she was enjoying this milestone in complete and utter bliss.

It wasn't hard to miss the baby babbles over the phone, as Hayes like dragging things out. But once Jade had gotten onto the phone, her first concern was Sage.

"Oh Goddess, I think Harlow and I ate everything in sight the first few days!" Remus had his own comment, but it fell on deaf ears as it was inaudible with the amount of food he has in his mouth.

He stopped eating and glared off towards Hayes, so he took one last bite before joining her back on the couch. He supposed he felt the excitement from the Mystic Grim side as well. Better yet, they were the parents of his children's cousin.

Hardin and the twins were cousins.

"Come on, I have money on the pup being a girl!" Harlow whined, and Sage grinned wildly. However Remus had offered his arms up from Julia, who couldn't get enough of the lil pup.

While Rue hid away with Luke and Elenor.

"Perhaps in the New Year, Hardin can meet his cousin, Ronan," Remus said, holding the pup a bit towards the camera. But the object held little to no interest to the pup as he continued to wiggle around the two males.

"Awe, look at the little Alpha! I see some Mystic Grim eyes in him."
"Oh, believe me, son. I already boasted on that." Sage held Rue close to her chest as she joined the camera.

"Rue has the same eyes, too." The gasp on the other end of the phone caused a devilish smile flashed towards her mate, and for once, Remus wasn't on the receiving end on her pranks.

"TWINS?! Oh, sweet goddess! Harlow, we didn't get them enough—"
"We have plenty, believe me," Remus said, trying to get Ronan to settle down into his hold properly. But seeing mama and his little pouting face caused Sage to nudge him and trade up the babes.

"Do you want a blanket?" Elenor asked, and Sage nodded as she sat on the other end of the couch and started the process of feeding the little Alpha—Though he wasn't at all convinced that it was the same as in fur.

But he tried and found himself just as addicted.

"Sounds like the little fellow's hungry—Call if you need anything you two!" Jade said, and it was only then that the house was left empty to give the Alpha couple some privacy.
