Lacking Humanity|Half Crescent

Chapter Seventeen

* * *

It was painful how sweet Andy became, and Sage felt guilty in taking up all his attention when it should be directed to his true female. The routine was pretty much the same, but the intent and care sparked her wolf to feel it as well.

There were some times where he'd catch her fawning over the stones of her pups and her family, and that is the only thing he truly left alone. Even if he attempted to ask a hundred more questions on her life in Crescent Moon and so on, Sage did not budge. She only wanted it mentioned if there was an update on the plan to head there.

The three week trip was daunting, though Andy knew he could do it. He was going to send a letter to White Pelt in asking to send a Beta or one of the high ranked to watch out for the pack. They were friends enough, considering some of his pack members integrated into said pack.

Even if Sage didn't see it yet.

The only issue is, a letter would take longer. A week there and then a week back to deliver, which caused Sage to reprimand him. The only type of technology they had were old televisions with VCR tapes and some DVD's, nothing that she knew how to use herself outright, and it was mostly for movie nights.

The pack of course had money, it's what they paid for with the bi-weekly drops of food they'd be delivered. And Sage learned that in itself was a task, as was the issue of driving an ATV or snowmobile, dependent on the weather.

To travel to the drop off zone, then to pick up the given package that the Conclave's connections would make the rest of treck there. It was time-consuming, but it was necessary.

A word that started to come up a lot in conversation.

However, with the public knowledge of her being a Hybrid, Sage surprised Andy and his wolf one day when they were planning a run. His beast went nuts at the idea of her scent going back and forth, or her laughter on one side to the other.

He eventually got the hang of it, and she laughed louder than he thought possible underneath his pinning paws. It was a thrill to see the happiness radiate off of her, it meant that for the brief moment of the day that she wasn't thinking about her previous life—Previous two lives.

She was living in the moment.

Yet now Andy was in a debate, Sage had offered to Whisp to the drop sight to retrieve the supplies. Saying it'd be easier than the other way of wasting gas and all that, he couldn't disagree. And either Severin and Grey weren't as helpful in denying their Luna to volunteer for the task.

"But I want to go, sounds like fun." She rallied and Andy groaned.
"Hun, I don't want you getting hurt. I have your safety to think about." Which earned him a dulled face and arms crossing over her face.

"I don't need you to do that." She growled, peeved that he was starting to act more like Remus with every day they grew closer. "No, but it's happening wether you like it or not. How many people can you bring with you for this whisping thing?"
"I take three pups with me, so maybe one or two. I don't know." He bobbed his head caught sight of Severin looking off towards Sage.

What do you think?

Andy called out to his Beta in an attempt to get a proper private feel of what he though. And the small nod of his head came to life.

I think the Luna wants to prove herself, she's been trying to help everywhere around the pack. Younger years with homework, in the kitchen, helping she-wolves, train? Let her try and if it doesn't work, then we know.

It was then that Andy had nodded his head to his Luna, and while he had expected her to bounce in glee. Her already narrowed eyes had turned to either Severin and Andy.
