The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 119

Ethan

I walk into Eric’s room without knocking, and instantly regret it. When I enter I find Eric and Linda standing a few inches apart, clearly about to k!ss. Eric’s hands are on Linda’s waist, and her eyes are already closed in anticipation. If l could back out without them knowing I was ever there, I would- but it’s too late.

When their l!ps are only inches apart, Eric turns toward the sound of the door, and the spell is broken.

Both of their bodies deflate as they realize the opportunity has been lost, and Linda’s cheeks are flushed bright pink. Eric still hasn’t released her, and his wolf is glowing behind his eyes, but he watches me expectantly – almost as if demanding an explanation for my abrupt appearance.

“Oh l’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.” I apologize, feeling uncharacteristically sheepish, “but we need to talk.”

“Is Jane okay?” Linda asks, trying to put some distance between Eric and herself, then blinking in surprise when his hands tighten on her wa!st. His possessive display only lasts for a moment, and he relinquishes his hold on her after a few seconds. Either way, Linda turns an even deeper shade of red and tries to smother her smile.

“Jane is going to be fine.” I tell her warmly, “thank you for coming to me. It was the right thing to do.”

“Yes well, you know that and I know that, but I doubt Jane sees it that way.” Linda sighs, clearly fearing my spirited mate will be angry with her. However after the way Jane responded to me upstairs, I doubt that will actually be the case. My little wolf may be stubborn, but once she submits she’s only too sweet.

“Jane isn’t going to hold it against you.” I promise,

“She was in a bad way and already feeling much better.

Trust me, she’ll thank you for it when she wakes.”

“Not if you send us packing.” Linda grumbles, clearly expecting the same outcome Jane had.

“But l’m not.” I share, surprising them both.
