The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 146

Jane

I haven’t spoken to Ethan through the entire car ride to the capital. In fact, I was feeling so petty after he forced me to promise to leave him behind if the worst should happen, that I refused to sit next to him. Instead I climbed into the back seat and cuddled up to Linda, even knowing that I would be more likely to get car sick this way.

I’ve felt Ethan’s eyes on me throughout the trip, watching me with the sharp focus of a worried mate, and it’s taken all of my willpower not to cave and speak to him – or perhaps more likely, crawl into his la*p and cry. However thus far l’ve been able to hold out – letting him feel the depth of my anger and betrayal over his high-handed demand.

After many hours on the road, we’ve finally arrived.

Ethan parked the car outside of a small bed and breakfast, and Linda and I waited while he went inside to check for vacancies.

“How are you doing?” My friend asks, squeezing my hand.

“1 don’t know.” l answer honestly. “I’m really beside myself Linda. I don’t know how I’ll survive if anything happens to the pups… and now Ethan demanded this damned promise. I just want one day of my life to be without struggle – is that too much to ask?

“Of course not” She croons, “it’s only natural that you would want that – anyone would.”

“How about you?” l inquire. “This can’t have been easy for you.”

“Honestly?” Linda responds, “l’m glad that Eric and l got to be together as mates, no matter what else happens. If I lose him, I’ll always have those nights on the ship together… ” She trails off, looking into the distance and -I suspect -fighting tears. “But I really don’t want to lose him.” She admits thickly. “I only just got him. It would be too cruel to lose him so quickly:”

That’s kind of how l feel about Ethan” I confess. “I only just got him back. The pups only just got their father – I cant’ bear the idea of losing him.”

“Whatever the men say, you and I don’t have to abide by their rule. We’re strong, independent she-wolves.” Linda suggests.

“He made me promise, Linda.” I explain, “a true, Alpha’s order. I can’t defy it.”
