The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 The Pups Make a Plan

3rd Person

Ryder, Riley and Parker were beside themselves.

All the adults were in an uproar, running around and whispering behind closed doors, trying to keep the truth a secret. But they knew – they always knew. They were wide awake when their Mommy ran out with the Alpha the night before, they knew their sister was in trouble and they could feel the grown ups’ fear as if it was their own.

They’d stayed up as long as they were able to keep their eyes open, but it hadn’t done any good. There was no more news while they were awake, and when they got up this morning, Mommy was nowhere to be found. Now Jane had finally called Linda for an update, so they huddled outside her bedroom door with their keen ears pressed to the wood, listening intently.

“Hey honey, how’s it going?” Linda was asking, sounding as if she was preparing herself to hear the worst.

Their Mommy’s voice was very faint on the other end of the line, but they could hear her exhaustion clearly. “She’s alright.” Jane answered, “but it was really touch and go for a while there.”

“Thank the Goddess.” Linda breathed. “What happened?”

“Oh Linda, it’s too awful.” Jane hiccuped. “They’re saying someone tried to kill her.”

“What?” Their Auntie exclaimed in disbelief. However Parker

and Ryder exchanged a heavy glance, remembering the cruel woman who’d been in Paisley’s room the day they met.

“She was poisoned.” Jane said, “they just barely managed to save her.”

“Who would do such a thing?” Linda demanded.

“I don’t know.” Jane confessed, sounding as if the uncertainty was more tortuous than anything else.” I can’t believe this is happening but I’m not taking my eyes off of her anytime
