All Chapters of Substitute Luna, Runaway With His Quadruplets: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Theo’s POV I lay back in the sofa and turn on a movie I’ve wanted to watch. I feel sad for a moment thinking about how Ivy and I used to cuddle here and watch movies together. They were some of the best times in my life.Then immediately I feel the anger rise in me. What could have motivated Ivy to lie and tell me that Noah and Olivia are my children? Such a cruel thing to do!My phone rings. “Hello?”“Alpha, this is Sergeant Maple, I’m a traffic officer. We’ve had an accident on the highway at the edge of the Dark Forest.”“That’s too bad, but why are you calling me about it?”“Sir, the accident involved the Luna, she was driving.”“Tiffany? Was she drunk?”“No, not Tiffany. The true Luna, Ivy. The car went off the highway down a steep culvert. Flipping into a gully. It was bad.”I sit up. Ivy’s been in another car crash? “How is she?”“I can’t give specifics on the phone. All I can say is that there were multiple injuries. Everyone has been taken to the hospital.”Multiple injurie

Ivy’s POVI wake up and find Ryder next to my bed. “How long have I been out?”“Two days. They had you in an induced coma until your brain swelling went down. You’re good now, thankfully,” Ryder says.I look around the hospital room and try to get my thoughts organised about what happened. Then I remember— the children!“They’re fine. They’re here in the hospital. Noah has a broken arm, which is already mending, and Olivia is fine, all injuries healed.”“I want them here with me now! That truck was intent on killing us. I’m certain Tiffany was behind it. This hospital is an easy place for her to get the job done. Ryder, bring the children here now!”“Okay. Let me call a guard to watch you as we get everything sorted. I know exactly what you’re talking about. Since the accident I’ve had everyone, even Thomas, on 24 hour guards.”“Thank you, Ryder.”I watch him leave. Maybe Thomas should be moved here too, I think. But then Tiffany should have no beef with him, but then again— who know

Ivy’s POV We’ve all been discharged from the hospital. Ryder has somehow organised a van with a bed along one side for Thomas to lie on so his shattered leg is supported. Nicole walks us out to the van.“This is some set-up,” Nicole says looking inside the van.“I’m going to sleep with Daddy,” Olivia says.“You’re more than welcome, darling,” Thomas says.Nicole gives me a hug. “Thank you for everything,” I say. “But no goodbyes. Only — see you soon. Because we expect to see you soon in Ice Moon Land.”“Definitely. I love you, Ivy!” She looks in the van where the rest of the people are, with Ryder in the driver’s seat. “See you soon, guys! Keep well. And no more broken bones.”“We’ll try our best,” Thomas says.We’re just pulling out of the hospital parking lot when my lawyer Marcel calls.“Please, Ivy, come and sign the divorce papers before you leave,” he says. I don’t like delaying our journey but I agree. I want everything finished. I never want to return to Silver Claw Land agai

Ivy’s POV The next day I’m up early and at the office for Ice Moon. I want to prepare a presentation for Dylan first and then for the Board of Elders. The revenue from the new partnership with Silver Claw will bring in nearly $2.5 billion per year. The Board will be very happy. That’s nearly a third of our current budget.Dylan arrives dressed in a tight fitting black suit with a black shirt and tie. He’s a handsome man but more so today. I suspect those are his fighting clothes. He has come to accept my challenge.“You got here early,” he says. He makes himself a cup of coffee and sits at the conference table next to the picture window looking down on the city.I bring my paperwork and coffee cup and sit down across from him. “Shall we start? I want to finish before the Board arrives.”“So do you think you’ve won, Ivy?” he asks ignoring what I’ve said.“Won? Was there a battle going on, Dylan?”He laughs. “Life was perfect before you came back. I’d hoped that the Silver Claw Alpha

Ivy’s POV After Thomas leaves I look up and Dylan is in my office. He plops himself down on the sofa and lays back.“How’s it going, Sis?”I look up from the work I’m doing. I’m still stressed about everything that’s happened. First Theodore coming to the engagement party, then Thomas acting all cagey about his mother. I don’t need Dylan on top of it all.“What do you want, Dylan? I’m busy.”“I never wished you congrats on your engagement. Everything is going perfectly in your little perfect lovely life, hey?”“What is it you want, Dylan? Just cut to the chase. I don’t have any time for you to waste.”“You know I care about you, sis. I wouldn’t want you to be walking into a situation blind and all.”“Oh fuck you’re annoying! Just get out of my office if you have nothing productive to say!” “I’m your big brother, I’m meant to protect you.” I look at him with limited patience. He listens to nothing that I say.“You’re right,” he says. “Let me cut to the chase. Why do you think Tho
