The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 – Arrested

Jane

“I want my phone call.” I hiss, thrashing against the offi- cers dragging me towards the jail’s small cells as the investi- gator watches with a malicious grin.

“Whoever said anything about a phone call?” He drawls. “We haven’t even booked you yet. If you’re good you might get a call in the morning, once we’ve had some time to talk.”

“My lawyer will find out anyway!” I growl, “you might have humiliated me by arresting me in front of the cameras, but it will be all over the news by now.”

“It was worth it.” He answers, “you brought this on your- self, don’t go blaming me just because you made bad deci- sions.”

All I can do is pray Linda wasn’t so busy setting up my an- niversary dinner that she missed the news broadcast. I don’t even have the energy to be frustrated she was plotting with the pups anymore, I’m only concerned with my freedom. “I didn’t kill anyone.” I announce fiercely.

“The evidence begs to differ.” The detective grouses, “now are you going to cooperate with us or not?”

“I’m not answering a single question without my lawyer, even if it means I have to stay here overnight.” I snap, knowing he was hoping to leverage a confession from me with threats of detaining me.

“Fine.” He bites back, pushing me into the hands of a

guard, “Book her. We’ll see how confident you are after you’ve met your cellmate.”

The guard in question takes my fingerprints and mugshots, then leads me back into a icey block of cells. The cramped spaces are lined with iron bars, and furnished with nothing beyond a concrete slab and a scratchy blanket. I sup- pose most former Luna’s would balk at such conditions, but what these men don’t realize is that I’ve been a prisoner be- fore. Sure, the conditions were luxurious beyond belief – but a gilded cage is still a cage.

I stride straight into the first cell with my head held high, glaring at the guards as they slide the barred door shut be- hind me. There’s another she-wolf in the space with me, and I have to admit she’s one of the most intimidating wolves I’ve ever seen. At least a foot taller than me and boasting no shortage of tattoos, she looks me up and down with the bear- ing of a ravenous hyena. “What are you in for?” She asked, speaking with a thick accent, “stealing the clothes off a de- partment store mannequin?”
