Lacking Humanity|Crescent Moon

Chapter Forty

* * *

Sure enough, Whitepaw and those in Crescent Moon had won against regaining champions. Haylee rightly never saw a reason to join the contests, but her wolf was fed up over these awful accusations. Perhaps it was over Olivia challenging Sage over an obvious win. But goddess bless it was a beautiful sight indeed.

However they were coming down to the final games, but she noticed that Sage wasn't involved with anymore. Or wasn't going to be until the one on one sparing.

Her wolf was utterly curious about the female, and it'd seem Sage felt the same. Though that didn't stop her from greeting Haylee with a cheek rub. Again, it was adorable.

"Spar?" 

"Maybe, it's usually a random pairing. I'm excited to see how you fight." The she-wolf had erupted in a smile and nodded, there were an obvious set of people stretching and such, but all Sage had really needed was a final explanation of the rules.

She wasn't used to rules.

Liam hoped that this wouldn't result in any more arguments, but Maria claimed that there is always a clause that nothing here would result in arguments later.

Which was surely not the case this time around, Remus had already made sure of that.

"Alright Luna's gather around!" A voice called out, and it was a middle-aged she-wolf. Sage found herself listening to the rules, and stared at the board on how the names were placed.

"So everyone gets a chance to spar, but once you lose your name doesn't continue until two people from each side reach the middle." Laura was watching anxiously at her Luna, the three of them had discussed it last night when Sage had gone to bed.

This is a bad idea.
She called to the two males, and Liam scoffed.
Weren't you the one who said it'd be good exposure?
He clapped back.

Coming from experience from challenging the Luna, does it look like she takes it easy on anyone?
Luke had inhaled deeply there after, they would need to talk to her again.

Sage hun, can you come here when you're done talking to Haylee?

She hadn't responded, but a minute later she found herself coming back to her group with a tilted head. "Do you remember what we said this morning? About the rules?"

"No claws in skin. No attacking eyes. Stay in circle. No kill."
"What was the last one?"
"No kill." He smirked and patted her shoulder once more, she was in a simple sports bra and shorts. Much like all the other Luna's surrounding them, the only issue was her scent was an open target for the given males around them.

But it took one look to show that she wasn't interested. This is another aspect Remus would not know either.

"Who are you sparing first?"
"Luna Rachel," Laura revealed a smirk but quickly brushed it off, oh this was going to both lovely and damaging.

"Haylee say I need a first."
"Oh right, cause this a fancy spar." Liam chuckled, knowing their dad would call bullshit for all this royalty treatment. But then again, the west is surely different.

Sage was in a dilemma as she didn't know who to pick between her brothers and Laura. "I don't know who first."
"This is a she-wolf event, Laura will be your first." She rolled her eyes as she joined her Luna, she would be standing on the opposite ends to make sure the opponent was sticking to the rules. However she wasn't up to spar for another few rounds, and during so, Sage watched like a hawk.

Each and every hesitation to their strengths and weaknesses, she continued to list them to Luke who was smirking. Sage was a very observant wolf and would most likely use it against them momentarily.
