The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 64 - Shock
EthanHow pathetic is it that I’ve only been away from Jane a few hours, but I already miss her? It didn’t help that the entire way through the kids’ movie, I had nothing but time to think about my lovely mate. Strange as it seems, I just didn’t find a bunch of animated woodland animals frolicking through a silly adventure as compelling as Jane. Still the kids enjoyed it, and my heart swelled in my chest the moment that Ryder crawled into my lap for no other reason than that he wanted to be close to me while we watched.Now, as we return to the penthouse, I can’t wait to watch them act out the story for their mother. They’re currently debating the best part of the film, but the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand on end the closer we draw to the apartment building. As we round the corner, I see a blinding array of flashing lights, and police cars flooding the street in front of the entrance.My first thought is of Jane, and before I can think twice, I scoop two pups up in each arm
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 65 - Interrogation
JaneExplaining death to four years olds is almost as difficult as watching Ethan muddle through the next few days in a complete fog, appearing more like a zombie than the man I know so well. Every time I tell the pups that Petra is gone and won’t be coming back, the message only seems to sink in for a few hours. Soon enough they’re asking me when they’re going to see Petra again, and I have to try to explain the concept of permanence to four precious beings who simply cannot understand it.Still, watching Ethan is harder. We got through all the planning and preparations for a massive state funeral with great exhaustion and stress, but little emotion on his part. I keep waiting for him to break, to come out of shock and grieve the way he needs to so desperately. It hasn’t happened yet, and I merely pray that he will find the spark he needs before the funeral is over this afternoon.Most of the day is a series of overly formal ceremonies and traditions, and I’m simply proud that the pu
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 66 – Just this once
JaneA week later I still haven’t been able to bring myself to tell Ethan about the police suspecting me for his Mother’s murder. I keep telling myself that it’s simply too much stress for him at an already difficult time, but I think there’s also a small part of me that’s afraid he won’t believe me. The detective’s words have been playing on loop in my mind, and I have to admit his story sounds compelling.We’re finally returning to the apartment today, assured by the crime scene cleanup team that it’s now spotless and we would never know such a horrible thing happened there. Still, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to erase the image from my mind, nor do I think Ethan will. The kids are the least bothered by all of this, but then again they don’t know Petra was murdered, they simply know she’s gone.So when we return to the Penthouse, the kids run in almost instantly, rushing off to their rooms while Ethan and I stand frozen in the doorway, haunted by the last occasion we stood in thi
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 67 – Reliving the Past
“No.” I protest. “It isn’t possible, whatever happened between us in the past, however badly Ethan might want the kids, Ethan would never harm his mother. He’s been devastated by her loss.” I explain, feeling confused but increasingly confident Eric is on the wrong track.“Devastated by loss, or guilt?” Eric suggests ominously.“The investigators said a woman killed her.” I remind him, “If Ethan had done it her head wouldn’t have even been on her neck anymore.”“Well of course they did, you’re being framed for the crime Jane, it would have to look like a woman did it whether it actually was or not.” Eric insists. “And that man almost killed me for merely suggesting the pups weren’t his. You think he wouldn’t take extreme action to keep them?”“You don’t know Ethan like I do.” I insist, “He loved his mother.”“You’re right, I don’t know him like you. But I know how he talks about you and your family when you’re not there and he’s not trying to charm you, I know the kinds of things Alph
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 68 - Ethan Stands up for Jane
3rd PersonEthan glanced at Jane out of the corner of his eye. She’d been incredibly tense all evening, even with the pups. They were currently preparing dinner together, and every time Ethan came near her her little body wound up as tight as a spring. He couldn’t keep quiet anymore after she jumped three feet in the air from a light touch on the waist, simply because he’d wanted to nudge her out of the way of the silverware drawer.“Janey, what’s going on? You’re being as skittish as a startled rabbit.” He asked, turning her to face him.“Nothing.” She uttered, averting her gaze.“Eyes.” He ordered, noting the way she squirmed against him rather than obey. “Now, little wolf.” He ordered. Jane gradually peeked up at him from beneath her lashes, sulking as she caved to his authority. “Tell me the truth.”“Nothing’s wrong,” She repeated, “I’m just tired.”Ethan growled, but before he could ask her anything more, a knock sounded at the door. “This isn’t over.” He informed her sternly, go
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 69 - Paisley Asks a Question
3rd Person Jane’s heart sank when she saw Ethan’s angry expression. Glancing nervously at the door, she wrapped her arms protectively around her body. However instead of answering she simply backed away from Ethan, unable to bring herself to focus on her alibi until she knew exactly what had happened. “What else did he say?”“He told me about the evidence connecting you to the crime scene.” Ethan explained, following her slowly.“The dress?” Jane asked, gnawing her lower lip.“The dress, plus the hair and bloody footprints.” Ethan elaborated.“He never told me about those.” Jane breathed shakily, turning away from the Alpha to try and collect her thoughts without feeling his searing gaze on her. Of course, all this meant was that she could feel it on her back instead of her face, lancing through her like a laser beam.“That’s typical.” Ethan told her, “they never tell you how much they have against you, he probably has other things he didn’t tell me. That’s how they get you – th
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 70 - That’s Not How Daddy Does It
Ethan blinked, shocked and horrified by his young daughter’s question. “Of course not, Paisley.” He assured her. “I don’t want you to ever think that.”“Was it because I’m a runt like Eve said?” Paisley asked, her lower lip trembling.Ethan feels a fresh burst of rage towards the horrible she-wolf but tries to soothe his fraying temper for his pups sake. “Sweetheart, listen to me very carefully.” He began, searching for the right words to explain such a complicated situation to one so young. “Your Mommy wanted you more than anything in the world. It’s my fault she left – it’s only ever been my fault.”Paisley’s little nose crinkled in confusion. “How?”“I know it’s hard to understand, but she couldn’t take care of you then, and I could. I forced her to go away, but she left you with me to save her life.” Ethan confessed.“How’d you force her?” Paisley questioned, not understanding one bit how her wonderful Daddy could ever do anything bad.“Angel, one of the things you’ll learn as you
The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups #Chapter 71 - Outed
JaneI’ve only just dropped the pups off at pre-school and am on my way to the office when my phone rings. Glancing at the touchscreen display in the car’s center console, I see Linda’s name appear, and promptly accept the call over bluetooth. “Hello?”“Hey,” She greets me, sounding a bit tense. “Have you seen the news?”“No.” I sigh, already fearing the worst, “What is it now?”“You just got outed.” She explains gently, “In a very public way.”“What do you mean?” I ask nervously, thinking that it’s beyond depressing my life has reached a point where she could be talking about half a dozen secrets or lies.“It’s on the front page of the Gazette.” She replied simply, “Elise Carrington exposed - NightFang’s Luna returns from the grave.” Linda pauses, “apparently someone let it slip that your identity is fake and exposed the truth – including the fact that you faked your death.”I curse under my breath. This is the last thing I needed. “I was worried standing by Ethan’s side at the funer
