Chapter 72 – Telling the Pups

3rd Person

“What’d you mean, we’re moving?” Riley asked in a hushed voice.

“Eric told me.” Paisley confided, looking around at her siblings faces with a deep frown. “He says Mommy’s taking us all back to da Dark Moon Pack and leaving Daddy here.”

The other pups exchanged worried glances. They’d been afraid something like this would happen. Mommy always said they were only here for a few months and she hadn’t talked to them about staying longer, even when she moved them in with Ethan and Paisley. It was

part of why they’d been so eager to reunite her with the Alpha; they knew they had to work fast.

Poor Paisley on the other hand, hadn’t realized that Jane was only in town for a limited time. She assumed that now that their family was together, they would stay together. If Eric hadn’t told her the truth, she never would have known any

differently.

However, whether the news was unexpected or not, all four pups could agree that they had to find a way to stop this from happening. “We can’t leave Daddy behind.” Parker decided firmly.” He ‘n’ Mommy belong together, and we belong with both of ’em.”

“I don’get it.” Paisley complained,“ Daddy’s always hugging and flirting with Mommy, I know he wants to be with her.”

“I think Mommy’s scared.” Ryder murmurs, “I dunno why, but every time she talks to Linda ’bout Daddy, she seems

really upset.”

“You know if we ask they’ll only tell us it’s grown up stuff.” Riley rolled her eyes.

“An’ we’ll understand when we’re older.” Ryder and Parker supplied in unison.

“So how do we make her not scared?” Paisley asked, “how do we convince her not to leave?»

“Well first ‘f all, I think we have to make them tell the truth.” Riley decides, “then we can show them how much we don’t want to leave.”

“Good idea.” Ryder concurred. “Mommy hates seeing us sad.”

“So let’s make sure we’re very, very sad.” Parker grinned. “We might get a time out, but she can’t really blame us either.”

“What are you talking ’bout?” Paisley questioned, not following.
