Lacking Humanity|Half Crescent

Chapter Fifteen (Rewritten)

* * *

Sage hadn't seen Mae the hours following, which didn't help her case at all. All she had wanted to do was check in on the she-wolf, and given that even with everything that's happened, Sage still felt very protective of all of the females she arrived at Half Crescent with— And while Maeve was attempting to learn more and trying to redeem herself in the beginning, though clearly seeing Sage sitting beside Andy not having spoken about the offer just yet, had given her the wrong idea.

So even if Sage wasn't planning to explain things entirely, not when she still didn't know what was happening, or make sure she was doing alright with living here. They had lived together for a month in confinement and the months following their escape, and Sage truly wanted to fix things.

Time had been on their side, and the relationships were certainly built stronger by the day. However, when an account of three she-wolves from the Black Crescent side of Half Crescent had claimed that they didn't see the Delta, it was clear that she didn't want to be found.

And Sage certainly knew what that entailed.

Instead, she went about her day with a much more diverse attitude, wanting to consider Andy's offer.
But truly, Sage wanted to explore all her options.
And heading into the closest town would give her just the clarity she needed to check one attempt off her list.

However, sneaking out was going to prove to be difficult. Perhaps a witch would be interested.

Holly, to be exact. Given that she could shift into a Robin, which made her inconspicuous to the humans.

However, thinking about the deal made her recall the first time she had been called Luna in Crescent Moon. It had taken Luke a few times before greeting her as Luna, but that was to be expected.

He had known her as just Sage—And she couldn't imagine how he was dealing with her missing. No, she needed to make a direct attempt.

Not only that, but it felt wrong to go from Alpha to Luna, as if her wolf was growing offended by the trade.

By dinner, not much else had changed in the sense of what Alpha Andy had demanded from her during his offering.
Sage still sat beside the pups, a silent telling to Andy that she had not made her choice yet. Though, no part of her wanted to leave the pups, not when they helped calm her during their time together in the Underground.

And even if Black Crescent has mingled with Half Crescent for a while now, Sage still felt wildly protective, considering they were still young and getting used to the pack.

Thankfully, both Grey and Severin enjoyed the pup's company as well, making the situation a little easier to digest when two had stopped to say hello. But it was at that time that Sage had caught the disappointing look Andy was giving her from across the table. one that was also laced with suspicion.
So with the Beta and Delta making it a point to stop and listen to the pup's day made it worth all the stress and work put into making the pack run smoothly. And perhaps making Andy more aware that things weren't so simple on her end.

However, when night started to fall, Sage had been feeling much more tired and run down than the night before. The spike in her head had dug to the center of her skull, making her go and look for Andy as she had a question involving how to get to the town mentioned before.

But had no idea where he was.

"Severin?" She called out, and the large male stopped and turned around to hear her voice.

Hello little Luna. How can I help you?

She nodded but then made a face of disgust. "I am not Luna and I am not little. I fight big bears and I fight you before. Not little."
