#Chapter 88- Jane confronts Ethan

It takes all my strength not to wrench the door open and charge after him as he

retreats down the hall, pouring lies into

Jane’s receptive ears. I can hear her shocked

voice on the other end of the line, but I can

also see the pups confused faces in front of

me now. They need me more than Jane does

in this moment, and I certainly don’t plan

on giving Eric that satisfaction.

“Ethan, have you lost your mind?” Jane exclaims, throwing her hands up in

exasperation.

“No.” I answer evenly, leaning against the

kitchen counter with my arms crossed over

my chest. The pups are finally in bed, and

Jane didn’t waste a single moment before

turning on me. “Of course, I doubt I’d

realize it if I had.”

“You know Eric didn’t kidnap the pups!” She continues, as if I didn’t even speak. She’s got herself worked up into such a lather that I find it’s better to just let her get

it out of her system, rather than interrupt. Were you threatening to have him arrested because you meant it, or just to scare him?”

“Eric knew exactly what he was doing when he took the pups without telling me.” I allege, towering over my furious little mate. “And I never threatened him with anything.

I told him I’d almost called the police when I thought the kids were missing. He made up the rest to create precisely this situation,” I explain, gesturing between us.

“Why would he do that?” Jane scoffs, “Eric is a good man, Ethan. All he’s ever tried to do is help me and he’d never intentionally hurt me. If you ask me, you’re just jealous of

him.”

“Oh give me a little credit, Jane.” I grouse. I’m not a horny teenager who can’t control

their hormones just because another man is sniffing around you.” I don’t bother mentioning that a few hours earlier I very nearly lost my control in the face of Eric’s provocation, or the fact that I’m having my rival investigated by the best private

investigator in the territory. “And I hate to break it to you, but he’s not the saint you

think he is.”

“Of course you would say that!” Jane complains, “you think everyone is untrustworthy because you assume that they all run on ulterior motives like you do.”
