Lacking Humanity|Blue Moon

Chapter Twenty

"Is Willow alive?" Hayes asked, his voice painfully low. And Darius rose a brow as he looked down to his wrist. "I think you should ask your daughter, that relationship is much stronger between a mother and daughter in the witch world." It made sense as to how Sage had been so in touch with the pups, but Rue more so than Ronan.

The youngest was half-witch no matter what.

Hayes looked down at his daughter and repeated the question, but she frowned. "I don't know," Darius smirked and came closer, or until Remus stepped forward to stop him.

That hardly did much as the Demon just walked through Remus' figure and stood before his shadow.

"Yes you do wolfie, think...Who told you not to trust the Snyders after you were poisoned?" The full-blown understanding had left her to feel a crushing emotion.

"T-that was mama?" She croaked, and Hayes couldn't control himself from squeezing her further.

"Show me, sweetheart, show me." It was partly a beg, but Sage had indeed sent him all the times the female voice had blessed her with a small input.

And Hayes' reaction only signified it...Willow had reached out a few times, during the demons, during the pup's birth, and just today.

"Mama's watching," Sage whispered, and Darius nodded. "I thought the voice was Mama Emery." Remus frowned at not having been told about another voice in her head.

"Where is my mate?"
"I don't know, and I can't for the life of me understand it. Wherever that bastard has her is beyond my eyes and my father's." In hearing a confirmation of Willow being alive made Hayes anxious, he needed to call Harlow and Haylee.

"Does that bastard have a name?" Remus begged the question and the light shined brighter than it had in the past few times, and Aurelia sighed.

"Can you confirm whether we're correct or not?" Darius nodded as he was attempting to settle the slight burn in his wrist—His father's warnings were never a joke.

And he was already on thin ice as is.

"Is it Randal?" Jackson questioned, and it earned him the attention of all the wolves in the room. "What? I'm just asking."
"No, it's not Randall Moon. The Moon Goddess had special plans for him, and once she's done punishing him, Father has room for him in the deepest of depths. I can promise you that." Remus had growled in agreement to his father being punished for the rest of eternity—He deserved that much and more.

"What I recommend that the first order of business is to find what those contracts have instated, course I know from my side—But they could be some unfulfilled pieces to the puzzle, that's what matters right now." Sage sniffled at the idea that the voice that soothed her a time of need had been her mother.

"If she isn't dead why the hell can't I feel her?!" Hayes growled, his eyes had already morphed into his wolf's at the mere mention of his mate, but for some reason, it calmed Sage to know that her father was there.

However, the brutal awaking of grandpa's voice caused the pups to whimper and cry. But Sage could hardly control her own emotions than to comfort Rue—However at the flickering lights above them, Raven instantly took Rue from her made and attempted all she could to stop the display of magic.

"You have to be careful Sage, Rue can feel your emotions much closer than her brother can...I urge you to reconsider the coven—"

"Don't overstep the boundaries Warren, you know just as well as I do that she's powerful enough to be a rogue witch—She's been a rogue wolf before, for goodness sakes. I said align, not join" Remus felt at least a bit better that Darius clarified that.
