The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 97

Ethan

Over the years I’ve been in more fights than l can count, some more noble than others – some decidedly dumb. Either way, I’ve taken more than my fair share of punches, but l’ve never felt such a powerful gut punch as the one Jane just landed. I feel as though all the air has been stolen from my lungs, like I’ve forgotten how to breathe and won’t ever remember again.

I expected my mate to be relieved that she was no longer in any danger of being arrested, I wanted her to be happy and excited like this – but not because it meant she could leave. l’d known she was planning on moving up her departure date, but I thought that was because she was afraid. I hoped that with things more settled and everyone safe and sound again, she’d reconsider.

“The kids can be together here.” I tell her, “and it’s safe now, you can stay here. We can start fresh.”

Her face falls, “Ethan when I fell into heat I warned you it wasn’t going to change things. I was honest with you from the beginning about what I wanted.”

That isn’t true” I growl. “You couldn’t be honest with me because you aren’t even being honest with yourself”

“Excuse me?” Jane utters indignantly. “Who are you to decide if l’m honest with myself? To assume you know what’s going on in my mind, or know my own feelings better than I do? Who are you, to think you know what’s best for me?

“I’m your mate.” I rumble dangerously, “That’s who.
