The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 55 – Elopement

9 Years Earlier

“I don’t care, I don’t care if they approve or not!” Ethan was pacing back and forth through Jane’s tiny bedroom like a tiger in a cage, his huge hands balled into fists.

“It’s okay, Ethan.” Jane assured him in a soft voice, looking on from her seat on the edge of the bed. “I always knew it would turn out this way.”

Ethan pulled up short, looking at her in surprise and dis belief, “What are you talking about?”

She shrugged, squirming slightly under his dominant gaze, “I mean, you’re next in line to be Alpha, and I’m… well, me!” She gestured to their meager surroundings. She and her mother were poor as church mice, while Ethan’s family lived in the most expensive mansion in the territory. “Omegas don’t marry alphas, and they certainly don’t marry the Alpha.”

Ethan stormed across the small space, kneeling down in front of her. They’d never spoken about marriage, and now that he thought about it, he realized they’d never spoken about the future at all. Every time he tried Jane changed the subject, and now he knew why. She had apparently picked up on what he had not: that while his parents might not mind them dating when they were teenagers, they would never agree to a more serious commitment.

It wasn’t until Ethan had gone to his father the day after Jane’s Eighteenth birthday, asking for his blessing to propose, that he found out just how opposed his family was to their re lationship. In hindsight, he now realized all their attempts to

introduce him to alpha females like Eve hadn’t just been net working, but schemes to turn his head from the little omega he’d been obsessed with for the last three years. Hearing his parents talk about Jane made their attachment sound like something dirty and wrong, something they’d probably been whispering about behind closed doors since the first day he brought her home. They’d even accused her of only being with him for his money.

He’d never been more furious, at least he hadn’t until he realized that it wasn’t only his family who believed he would simply toss Jane aside like a used toothpick when he was done with her, but Jane herself.

“What is the number one rule of pack status, Jane?” He demanded fiercely, catching her face between his hands.
