The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 107

Jane

When Ethan and l arrive at the police headquarters, every eye in the room turns towards us, watching our every move. It’s nothing new. If l thought that the media frenzy had been bad when I was a murder suspect, it was nothing to the chaos now. We can’t set a single foot outside our house without every pack member we encounter staring or wishing us their condolences, and I haven’t been able to look at a television or listen to the radio since this all began, because every word is a reminder of our tragedy.

Thankful Ethan reminded me of our constant audience when I tried to race out of the penthouse without any clothes on – so eager was l to get here. In the end l’ll didn’t put much effort into it, throwing on the first clothes I saw. To think I was once considered fashionable seems almost surreal now, like something from another life.

When we get to the commander’s office, he’s there waiting, a grim expression on his face. “Where did you find her?” Ethan asks without any preamble.

“She was trying to leave the territory. Our guards caught her at one of the road blocks” The older man explained.

“And there was no sign of the pups?”I press, even though I already know the answer. , sounding

“Im sorry” The commander shares, entirely sincere. “| don’t think she’s been around them for a couple of days – there isn’t any scent of them left on her:”

“What does that mean?” l squeak as Ethan’s arm tightens around me. “Did… did she say what she did with them?”

“I waited for you to interrogate her.” The commander answers, “I thought you might pick up on details we wouldn’t, things that could help lead us to the children or at least get her to talk.”

“Thank you.” Ethan nodded, “Where is she now?”

“This way.” The commander instructs, leading us down a long hallways lined with unidentified doors. He stops at the fourth door and pushes inside, revealing a darkened observation room with a large window lining wall. It’s exactly like the interrogation scenes l’ve seen in shows and movies, with a huddle of investigators watching through the window as an interviewer sits across from Eve on the other side.

The crowd moves aside when we enter, and Ethan and I move to stand in front of the glass. I can feel Ethan’s rage boiling over at the mere sight of the she-wolf, and his hands are so tense on my body it’s almost painful. Still, I don’t object, he needs to hold onto something right now to stop from crashing through the glass and attacking her, and l appreciate his strength.

Neither Eve, nor the interrogator say a word, not until the commander knocks on the glass, seeming to give the man a signal to proceed with the interview. He doesn’t move an inch, but his voice travels to us through a speaker on the wall, “Where are the pups.”
