The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 155

Jane

I’m practically skipping as I move through the hospital’s crowded hallways, eager to get to Ethan and tell him our news. I haven’t seen him since he came out of surgery, and l’m also anxious to hear how everything went. They wouldn’t tell me anything beforehand, but legally married or not, l’m his mate. I’m sure they would have told me if his condition was serious.

The TV’s at the nurses stations are all playing the news on an endless loop. Headlines about King Aimon’s death were quickly followed by reports of Southern Islanders celebrating in the streets. It seems his own people hated him almost as much as we did. Details about his death indicate that Ethan and I were involved, but so far everyone is reporting that Eric is expected to take the throne. Part of me wonders if that will mean I have to say goodbye to Linda, but I’m so happy for them both.

I’m just so elated this ordeal is finally over. We’re all free to be with the ones we love at long last, to start fresh and forge new adventurers with our families – hopefully without any of the danger and terror this time. The future is wide open and so bright it’s actually blinding-I can’t see anything past this joy and hope.

I’m still grinning when I reach Ethan’s room, relieved when I find him sitting up in bed. “You’re awake!”l exclaim, crossing the room and stealing a quick k!ss before settling on the edge of the bed. “How are you feeling?”

Ethan’s eyes rake over my body, taking in every bruise and bandage with the avid attention of a worried mate. He doesn’t respond to me until he’s finished his perusal, but l’m surprised when he meets my smile with an expressionless mask. “I’m fine, but Jane we need to talk.

“I know, I have news.” l announce, feeling positively giddy. “Are the pups with Linda?” As eager as l am to see them, I don’t want to tell them about the baby just yet.

“They are” He confirms stonily.

His curt manner and cold features send a river of ice through my veins. “ls something wrong?”

“I’m going to book flights for you and the pups to return home in the morning” Ethan replies.

This doesn’t make any sense. I can’t believe that Ethan would let us travel without him after everything that just happened. “What about you? Do you need to stay behind to help Eric or something? We can stay with you.
