Jane

 

Gazing at my sons, who share their father’s bronze skin, dark hair and eyes, I assess. “It’s going to be difficult to keep our presence here a secret.” This is an understatement. My boys look so much like Ethan it’s actually laughable. We’re going to have to be very careful.

“You said it.” My friend quips lightheartedly.

Glancing at Linda out of the corner of my eye, I hedge, “Have you seen…?”

“Yes.” Linda answers immediately, needing no explanation. “She’s perfect, Jane. Healthy and beautiful, your perfect miniature.”

“And Ethan?” I ask, hating myself for asking.

“Still with Eve.” Linda relates, “But he dotes on Paisley like she’s the sun, moon and all the stars. Whatever else has happened between you, he’s a wonderful father.”

“Good.” I breathe, comforted to hear my other daughter is in such good hands, yet longing to see her with my own eyes. “You think he’ll give her up, when the time comes?”

Linda’s face falls, “Jane, she’s his entire world. I don’t know what you’re planning, but I don’t think reuniting your family is going to be as easy as you think.”

“We’ll see.” I reply coolly. Linda may have been my eyes and ears in the city since I left, but she doesn’t know Ethan like I do. I know how cruel he can be, I know how good he can be at faking emotion when he really feels nothing. After all, how many years did he pretend to love me before he showed his true colors?

In the years that have passed since we parted, I’ve kept my distance so that Paisley can benefit from all the world class medical care her father can obtain, but now we’re nearing the end of her treatment. She needs one more major operation. One more, and then I won’t need to hide anymore, I won’t need to pretend.

“Jane, I love you.” Linda broaches carefully, “But I’m begging you, please don’t underestimate how much Ethan cares about Paisley. You haven’t seen them together. I have.”

“And he hasn’t seen me since I left.” I remind my friend. “I’m not going to let him walk all over me this time. I’m not going to let him take my daughter from me. He might think a father’s devotion is strong, but he has no idea the power of a mother’s love.”

Linda

 

I barely recognize my friend.

The Jane I knew was a meek omega, too timid to speak up in school even though she was smarter than anyone else in the class. But this woman - this being - is a force of nature who bends the elements themselves to her will.

She holds herself like an alpha, giving off a scent of authority and power befitting any Luna.

Becoming a mother seems to have suited my friend very well. I can only imagine that if she’d been this strong during her marriage to Ethan, Eve would never have been able to get her claws into the imposing alpha.

Even her appearance has changed. Jane has always been beautiful, with her long golden hair and flawless porcelain skin, but where she used to downplay her looks, she now embraces them. Even dressed in simple work clothes, she looks so effortlessly lovely I feel like a slob standing next to her.

“I made an appointment for you at the atelier later today.” I share, unused to serving such a supportive role to my gentle friend.

“Thank you.” Jane smiles, with absolute grace. She might be a strong, independent she-wolf now, but Jane still started out at the bottom of the food chain. She knows what it takes to do hard work, to defy one’s destiny.

“You know Eve owns the shop?” I caution her.

“Oh, I know,” Jane grins, “I’m looking forward to seeing her face when she realizes whose perfume she’s been peddling all these years.”

“You aren’t worried she’ll spill the beans to Ethan?” I ask anxiously.

“Not even Eve is that stupid,” she snorts. “Trust me, she’s going to do anything she can to ensure we never cross paths.” Her stunning green eyes light with mischief, “which is just fine by me.”

Jane

 

Eve’s overpriced, over-styled shop is an absolute eyesore. Like so many unfortunate she-wolves who assume wealth is the same as class, my ex-husband’s mistress filled her store with the most gaudy, extravagant items she could find, regardless of whether they hold true artistic value.

My perfumes, anonymously designated with the french word for she-wolf: La Louve, line her counters. I’m sure Eve has no idea the exclusive scents she’s given prime placement on her shelves are my creations, and though I can’t criticize her taste in perfume, I know she’s only selling them because they’re so in demand.

When I try to enter the atelier, dressed casually in the same clothes I don in the laboratory, the snooty sales women look down their long noses at me. “Miss, are you lost?”

“No.” I assure them confidently, “I have an appointment.”

“We don’t offer appointments to muts like you.” The sales woman answers, her lip curled in disgust.

Raising my brows, I counter. “Is this how you greet all your customers? It’s a wonder you’re still in business.”

“Don’t make us call security.” The second she-wolf threatens, circling behind the cash register and brandishing a cordless phone at me.

“Would you at least like to know my name, before you decide whether or not to throw me out?” I question archly, thoroughly enjoying their outraged expressions.

“There’s no need.” The first sales woman replies snidely. “You clearly can’t afford our merchandise, and we don’t let just anyone into our boutique.”

The she-wolf must think I have an appointment to shop, not to investigate the reports which brought me to the city in the first place, of a high-end boutique trying to pass off cheap imitations as my luxury brand.

“Is that so?” I remark coolly, lifting one of the delicate glass bottles bearing my chic logo to my nose. Scenting the spray nozzle, I instantly realize the reports were true. Instead of the ethereal blend of night-blooming flowers and dark spices that comprise my signature aroma, there is a sharp, metallic undertone to the fragrance. This is not my perfume.

I can see the women opening their mouths to continue arguing out of the corner of my eye, but I press on before they can get a word in. “If you’re that concerned about your image, you might be interested to know that this perfume is fake.”

“Excuse me?” One of the she-wolves snaps. “How would you know, you couldn’t afford to buy an ounce of La Louve if you saved your entire life!”

“Appearances can be deceiving.” I announce simply, setting the bottle back down on the counter and leveling the shallow she-wolves with my gaze. “This might look like the real thing, but I assure you it is not.” The womens’ faces are flushed crimson with barely contained fury, and I continue, “Though you are right I’m not a client - my appointment is with your sales manager. My name is Elise Carrington, and I own La Louve.”

Now who's with Ethan for just the money! I hope she treats Paisley right. In a way I think it's wrong of Jane to take Paisley away from Ethan. I know he was horrible to her during their marriage but now he's grown to love his daughter and is getting the best care for her. This is what she wanted!

I actually think that Eve was just feeding her lies and Ethan wasn’t with her romantically or sexually.

  • The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups   #Chapter 226 - Happily Ever After

    JaneFour Months LaterEthan ushers the pups into my hospital room with a finger pressed to his lips. “Quietly now, Mommy’s very tired.”I’d gone into labor in the early hours of the morning, and the experience couldn’t have been more different than it had been with the quadruplets. Instead of suffering through the first contractions alone and afraid, I’d had my mate by my side, rubbing my back and crooning sympathetically as I gritted my teeth against the pain. After a few hours of pacing and fruitlessly trying to find a comfortable position, my water broke and we left for the hospital, leaving the pups with a sitter.I made it through fifteen hours of labor before caving and asking for an epidural, taking Ethan’s encouragement to save my strength for pushing when the time came. He never left my side the entire time, only stepping out of the room a couple of times to check in on the pups at my request. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthing partner – he lavished me with praise a

  • The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups   #Chapter 225 - Ethan and Jane Make a New Start

    JaneWhen Ethan and I arrive back at the penthouse we find Devon and Nina sitting on the sofa while the pups zoom around the living room in front of them. Devon has an arm slung over Nina’s shoulder, which surprises me, but I can’t focus on them because the moment we walk through the door four little bodies come hurtling at our legs. “Mommy! Daddy!” The pups cry excitedly.Parker is the tallest and fastest, so he reaches us first, leaping up into Ethan’s waiting arms while I intercept Riley, whose small size lets her bound weightlessly across the room. “Hello my love puddles.” I greet them happily, kneeling so I can also hug Ryder, while Ethan effortlessly scoops up Paisley, even though his arms are already full with her brother. “What have you been up to? Were you good for Devon and Nina?” I ask, marveling at Ethan’s strength despite his recent recovery.“We were sooo good.” Riley confirms. “Nina was sad so we cuddled her.”“And then Devon told us we could get ice cream if we promi

  • The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups   #Chapter 224 - Jane Gets a Lesson

    JaneWhen I open my eyes, Ethan and I are still in the thermal pool. I can feel the water lapping and bubbling around me, but he’s no longer inside me, and when I look up it’s to find his dark gaze watching me intently. Gradually I realize he’s moved to the shallow end of the spring so he can sit on the submerged ledge and hold me in his lap. He rests one hand on my round belly, and our baby flutters inside me as if the tiny bean knows its father is near.“How long was I out?” I inquire softly, stretching and reveling in the delicious ache of my muscles. I’m filled with the lazy contentment of a well-loved mate, utterly drugged with pleasure that is only deepened by the sting of my claiming mark. I can feel the evidence of Ethan’s dominance in the swollen flesh between my legs, the bite marks on my breasts and faint bruises on my back and thighs. And right now I can’t imagine anything better than this… exc

  • The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups    #Chapter 223 - Nina Makes a Decision

    3rd PersonNina’s heart sunk as she watched Ethan and Jane race out the door as their wolves, and she stepped forward to close the door out of mere reflex. When the panel clicked shut she found herself staring blankly at the dark wood, momentarily frozen in time. She couldn’t think, she couldn’t feel, she could only stand there and exist as this latest slight reverberated through her body.Only the sound of a small voice saying her name woke her from her miserable reverie, “Nina?”Slowly, as if in a trance, she turned. Blinking, her expression detached, she saw the pups watching her. Tiny feet padded over the floor in a miniature stampede, and then the four children were gathered around her, looking up at her with wrinkled brows. “Hmm?” She finally responded, unsure if they’d asked her a question or simply stopped at her name.“Are you okay?” Paisley inquired softly, genuine concern in h

  • The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups   #Chapter 222 - Ethan Caves

    Jane“Not want you?” Ethan snarls furiously, seeming angrier about that suggestion than my words about Devon. “Not want you? That has never been the problem!”His hands are so fierce on my body, and I can see a wild sort of desperation in his handsome features. His eyes are glowing and his fangs extended – I know his wolf is right on the edge.“Then show me.” I demand. Sliding my hand down between our flush bodies. “Let me feel your desire, Ethan.”“Why are you doing this?” He groans, burying his head in my neck.“Because you’re punishing yourself for something that isn’t your fault.” I murmur in reply, my lips brushing against his ear as I speak. “And it’s gone on long enough.”“But it is my fault, Janey. Everything I do backfires, every time I try to do the right thing for you, I fuck up.” He confesses, sounding so vulnerable I ache.“Then maybe you should stop trying to figure out the answer for me, and start working with me. Ask me what I want and give it to me, don’t try to do it

    JaneEthan and I run through the quiet streets of the city as our wolves, not minding one bit that we’re on pavement and not in the forest. We bound around shopkeepers and early morning commuters without a care in the world, oblivious to the curious looks we’re drawing.I’ve always preferred running at night, but I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity to convince Ethan to stop being so stubborn. When I saw him in his wolf form with our pups climbing all over him this morning, pure joy washed over me. I might not have known how Ethan has been
