Chapter 12 Pups found dad

“I’m sure it was our Daddy.” Riley insists, relating the strange events in the restaurant to her brothers. “The little girl who looked like me said I was her sister, and the man looked just like you – only growned up!”

“But how do we find him?” Parker questions, working the problem over in his mind.

“We could ask Auntie Linda?” Ryder suggests, “I bet she knows.”

“Mommy won’t like it.” Riley cautions, “She didn’t wanna tell me ’bout Daddy at all.”

“Mommy doesn’ have to know.” Ryder decides, “She’s jus’ scared.”

“Ryder’s right.” Parker agrees. “She never wants to tell us ’bout Daddy. This stays between us.”

“But won’t Auntie Linda just refuse? Riley asks.

“Not if we trick her.” Parker reasons, a mischievous glint in his

eye.

A few hours later the pups were safely ensconced in the back seat of Linda’s car while Jane was at work, and one by one, they put their plan into motion.

“Auntie Linda, did you know our Daddy?” Ryder asks slyly.

“I did.” She confirms, not sharing anything more.

“What was he like?” Parker presses.

“Well, he was an Alpha,” Linda shares. “He was very strong and smart, just like all of you.”
