The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

3rd Person

“Can I see her photo again?” Linda asked Ethan, feeling more anxious the closer they drew to King Aimon’s palace.

He offered her his phone, where Anita’s photo was plastered across the screen. “Text it to yourself. We have no idea how she’s going to try and smuggle them in, so keep your eyes sharp. They might not be visible at all.”

“Just look for a b***h in leather” Jane suggested fiercely. She’d memorized every inch of Anita’s photo on their journey, but she had a feeling the woman’s clothing would call more attention than anything else.

“Okay.” Linda nodded, sending off a message so that her own phone binged in notification. “And if l see her?”

“Call us, and don’t let her out of your sight.” Ethan instructed.

“What if she goes past the palace gates, we can’t exactly walk inside” Linda murmured.

“We have to play it by ear:” Ethan frowned. “If we can catch her before she gets that close, we will”

“And if not?” Jane asked, wringing her hands.

Then we’ll find a way to sneak into the palace and get the pups back- and Eric if he’s there.” Ethan added for Linda’s benefit. “Aimon won’t hurt them. The most important thing is to make sure he doesn’t know we’re here.”

“Do you really think we can get to them first?” Jane asked, leaning into his side. They were back in their disguises, but she couldn’t help herself, she felt sick to her stomach and riddled with fear – she needed her mate.

“We have a chance.” Ethan nodded. Just don’t give up hope.” They came to a stop at the end of the main road, peering around the corner at the King’s opulent palace. It seemed all roads in the Southern Isles led here, to the seat of Aimon’s power.”There are three vehicle entrances, and I seriously doubt Anita will bring them on foot. We can split up, each cover one gate.”
