The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 134

3rd Person

The pups started to race towards the sound of Jane’s voice, but at the last moment Fabian appeared in front of them, blocking their paths. “Where do you think you’re going?” He demanded.

The pups looked around in confusion, not sure where the older boy had come from or how he’d found them in the fog. “It’s our parents!” Ryder told him excitedly, trying to run around the shifter so he could find Jane and Ethan.

However Fabian lashed out quick as a snake, snatching up Ryder and Parker and nodding to Sophie, “get the girls.”

“But Fabian, if it’s their pa-” Sophie tried to object.

“As said get them.” He repeated harshly, interrupting her.

Sophie reluctantly took hold of Riley and Paisley, but unlike Fabian she didn’t think to cover their mouths. Riley immediately screamed at the top of her lungs. “

“Shut her up!” Fabian scolded, struggling to subdue the boys. “We can’t afford to lose four earners.” Together they dragged the struggling pups into the sewers, where they knew their scents would be completely obscured by stone, water and decay.

Across the square, Jane and Ethan jerked in shock. “Was that…?” Jane squeaked.

“It sounded like Riley.” Ethan nodded, feeling his heart begin to race with hope and worry at once.

“It came from over there!” Linda pointed in the direction of the scream, and all three adults went racing through the mist. Of course, by the time they reached the point where the pups had been standing – the children were long gone. “Oh Goddess, I can smell them.” Jane whimpered. “Riley! Paisley!

Ryder! Parker!” She shouted their names as she spun around, searching every inch of space within her sight.

Before long Ethan and Linda were yelling too, but they were met only with silence. Little did they know that the pups were fighting to reach them deep beneath their feet, in- a part of the city they didn’t know existed.

“Is everything all right?” A strange voice asked from behind Ethan and Jane. When they turned they found a man and woman in their sixties, wearing wedding rings and simple clothing.

“We’re trying to find our pups.” Jane shared, on the verge of tears. “Have you seen them?” She pulled out her phone and showed a photo to the elderly couple.
