#Chapter 81 – Eric Meddles

3rd Person

“We need to find ev-dence to help

mommy.” Riley mused, looking around at her brothers and sister. Though the pups

had been distracted by the news that Jane was planning on taking them back to the Dark Moon pack, as well as devastated by their failure to change her mind, her arrest had certainly reminded them of how dire her

situation truly was.

“Maybe if she’s safe, she won’t be so ‘fraid

to stay here.” Parker added, sensing the direction of his sister’s thoughts.

“Xactly.” Riley agreed, “I don’ think she was telling the truth when she said we’re going just because her bizness is there. I think she’s scared.”

“That p’lice man was really mean.” Paisley added with a little shiver, “he scared me

too.”

“Your Mommy isn’t afraid of the police.” Eric’s deep voice sounded behind them, and

all three kids turned around to look at him.

He was babysitting again. Jane and Ethan hadn’t felt comfortable sending them to pre-

school with all the press lurking around every corner, so Eric offered to watch them while they were both at work. 1

“What d’you mean?” Ryder questioned, sure his uncle was wrong. Jane had definitely seemed frightened by the investigator who accused her of murdering Petra, they’d even

heard her telling Ethan she might go to jail.

“She’s not afraid of the police.” Eric repeated. “She’s afraid of your Daddy.” 1

“No she’s not!” Paisley promptly objected.

“She is.” Eric stated firmly. “That’s why she left him in the first place, and why she’s so determined to leave again.”

“We don’t b’lieve you.” Riley replied with a

stubborn glare.

“Well you should, because your Daddy is a monster.” Eric insisted. He knew Jane wouldn’t approve of him telling them this, but he believed every word he was saying with deep conviction, and he truly believed the pups should know Ethan wasn’t worthy of their admiration. After all, if Ethan was willing to enslave his own mate, why not his pups? They needed to be protected from him, and if his words helped convince them to come back to the Dark Moon pack without complaint? Well, that would just be icing on

the cake.

“No he isn’t!” Paisley cried in protest.

You’re a liar!”
