All Chapters of Substitute Luna, Runaway With His Quadruplets: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Theodore’s POV In the lawyer’s office I suddenly catch a scent. It’s Ivy! I can find her! I rush out saying nothing to anyone. I know I can find her now.I follow the scent and it takes me to the docks. Can someone have brought Ivy here? I get out of the car and look around. There’s lots of boats and people but I can’t see Ivy. Maybe I got it wrong. I walk out towards the pier.I hesitate. The sea is not the best place for me; I have nightmares about my parents drowning in the sea. They went on a cruise and the ship hit a rock and sunk. They were never found. The divers said their bodies were likely trapped under the ship and could not be recovered.When I was a boy I used to see them dead underwater, trapped, slowly being eaten by fish. I’ve never been in the sea since then.Suddenly I see a speedboat pull up to the pier. A black SUV speeds to the end of the pier and two men come out carrying Ivy! She’s limp, as if she’s been drugged.I hope it’s only drugs. I hope she’s still alive

Ivy’s POV By the next day I’m feeling better and I decide I need to move.“Ryder, can you find us a villa to stay in? I think we’ll be here for a few more days and I want some privacy,” I ask.“I’m on it,” he says. “Will you be alright here while I’m out?”“Yes, I’m fine. I want to talk to Theodore a bit before I go . I need to sort a few things out.”Ryder leaves and I go down to breakfast. Theodore has just arrived.“Good morning, Ivy. You’re looking much better,” he says.“I feel back to normal — and I’m starving!”Theodore orders steak and eggs for both of us from the chef. “Have a seat. Let me pour our coffee,” he says.I sit and wait. He brings my coffee, just how I like it, with an apple croissant. “Oh! My favourite!” I say.“I remember. I had the chef make them special for you this morning.” Theodore watches me take a big bite and smiles.“That was very thoughtful of you, Theodore, thank you,” I say. It’s insane how hungry I am after a day and half of vomiting.The chef bring

Theo’s POV I came here to talk to Ivy about the meeting but also to spend some time with her. I keep thinking that we can work through her doubts and find our way back together. My faith in that is strong. Now, it’s all wavering.I feel glued in place. I knew there was a boyfriend somewhere but now to see him in the flesh is too much. How can Ivy love another? Kiss another? I want to leave but I can’t. I feel like I need to do something, but what? I hear a noise outside and it knocks me out of my thoughts. I look and, to my surprise, a boy comes rushing into the room.“Mummy, we saw fish and a turtle and heron at the lake!” the boy says diving into Ivy’s lap.“That’s quite exciting,” Ivy says. “Sounds like a good trip.”Who is this? I can’t keep my eyes off of the boy. There’s something abut him. I look at Ivy and I can see she’s upset. She didn’t want me to see this child, that’s clear. Why? “You have a son?” I ask, not able to stop myself. First a fiancé and then a son?“Yes. I

Theo’s POV I wake up before sunrise from a dream that brings tears to my eyes. In the dream, instead of seeing Ivy and Thomas’ son, I see my four children. They’re running and playing, now five years old, strong and healthy. Ivy and me are watching them with love and pride, my arm around her waist, her head on my shoulder.It’s such a perfect dream that when I wake up and see that it is not true I’m devastated. It’s what might have been if Ivy hadn’t had the car accident that killed our four babies.I stay in bed for a bit, trying to get over the dream. It’s gone now and it will never be. Ivy is with Thomas — and they have Noah. Despite us being fated, I need to somehow face that Ivy and I will never be together. That seems the only ending now.I get out of bed and take a walk in the dark; I need to clear my head. My phone rings and I wonder who could call me so early. It’s Kingsley.“Morning, Boss.”“Wow Kingsley. You’re up so early.”“Am I? This is my usual time.,” he says, confuse

Ivy’s POV I sit next to Dawson. “Grandfather, do you see now how dangerous Dylan is?”“It makes me very sad, but it can’t be denied. He’s lost his way since you returned to Ice Moon,” He says. “I’m not sure what we will do. I still love him very much.”“I know. We’ll talk with him and see if he can be guided to better thinking.” I do hope that can happen though I think Dylan may be too far now to be saved.“Yes we’ll see.” Dawson takes my hand and holds it. “This is a big problem, but at the moment not our most pressing one.”I’m taken aback; what is he talking about?“I’ve met your husband now, the Alpha of Silver Claw. I’ve watched you two and I see the truth now.”“The truth? What do you mean?”“You are fated mates.”I try to speak, to deny it and he stops me.“I saw your physical reactions to each other. Maybe others might have missed it, but remember I am an old man, an Alpha for a very long time. I know wolf, I saw your wolf and his. It is an undeniable fact.”“Okay...yes, you
