Lacking Humanity|Crescent Moon

Chapter Forty-Three

"No..." Liam whispered, his wolf whining out to his sister—But there was no response. And there wouldn't be for another few minutes.

"I suspect her mother had given her these memories, her mother did indeed name her...But the reason she panicked was because a male had taken the baby away. He was the clearest face out of the whole scene...They referred to her a Luna." Luke nodded.

"She told us this before...Liam and I didn't believe her when she said it."
"There are no missing Lunas...Not unless she's from one of those Canadian Rogue packs." Leo instated, and a dreaded silence overcame the room.

With a final swing of the reenergizing drink had Aurelia rose to her feet and twitched her hand up. Reconditioning what could only be described as a ghost-like version of the faces she had seen.

"That's her nurse, he was easy on her..." Liam answered, but then they turned to Alex, and Aurelia already smirked in knowing this answer, but Luke filled in those who didn't.

Leo grinned with pleasure on that, as it was one of the first stories he had heard about his surrogate pup.

Liam and Luke went back and forth, but it was all in front of a camera for council record now. As it reconstructed the face, all these humans could be tracked and found one way or another.

However, the next face had turned both Liam and Luke silent. And neither of them had a clue as to who this figure was.
"He was the one to cause Sage to lose control...I couldn't connect her thoughts to whether or not it was because she was ripped away from her mother or because of him." Another figure had soon pushed forward, and Remus had turned his attention now. Moving away from his mate as it was the first and only clue to Sage's family.

But the face was blurred.

"Sage's mother?"
"A strong wolf, to survive with a pup under those conditions...Her wolf wanted to kill every single one of those scientists for touching her child," Leo growled, just thinking of his own mate in this position.

Thinking of his pup being kept in captivity.

"Sage's an Alpha Female, it broadens the search of—"
"Unless the mother was also born there." Luke interrupted his brother, but Eli remained silent.

He couldn't believe it, he nor Jack could believe their playful and energetic Luna had been tormented and stripped from her mother so early on.

"There were other wolves in other cell blocks, and in one of the check-ups I've witnessed...It said her age." Sage Elwood, an escapist from the human government facility called the Underground, born and raised in captivity.

Was twenty-two years old.

Remus growled once again, his body shaking as the angry was ripping him apart. His wolf begging to comfort his unconscious mate, but she was far away elsewhere to respond.

"I do not know what year that was, but it seemed to be around when her brothers arrived."
"And Raven? Did you find anything—" Aurelia had shaken her head to her sister, but it was no matter. They had her ring and would be able to scry for the missing daughter, the ring was still owned by her.

Sage was a place holder.

The rest of the time was spent trying to identify the male that scared Sage to push the coven leader out of her head, but they moved quickly on translating the questions and answers.

Aurelia found it interesting that Sage was indeed a smart wolf, both in and out of fur.

However, what the group failed to realize was that Sage was slowly regaining her bearings and smiled to be returned to smells she favored, sweetness mixed with her family. But what she wasn't prepared for...Was the unknown scientists to still be lingering in the semi-transparent state.
