The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 171

Ethan

At first I thought I was hallucinating. It wasn’t possible that Jane and the pups were here. I assumed I was dreaming, that my imagination was putting their scents in my head – that I’d lost my mind faster than any of us could have expected. However the closer I draw to the door I know it’s real, my wolf is racing around in circles in my mind’s eye.

Overjoyed to see his mate and our pups- happy for the first time since I injured my spine.

After rejecting Jane in the hospital I thought I wouldn’t have the strength to survive doing so twice, but now it’s obvious I don’t have a choice. I can’t very well hide in my apartment while they bang on the door, and the truth is I’m beyond excited to see them.

Being away from Jane and the pups after everything we went through in the Southern Isles has been nearly impossible. I’ve struggled every day not being able to see them and hold them, to feel with my own two hands that they’ re safe. The only way I’ve been able to manage my protective instincts is by telling myself that they’re safer in the Dark Moon pack.

I’m barely breathing as I open the door, and then they’re there in front of me, as if they never left. The pups are beaming and jumping up and down, and Jane is looking as though she’s frightened and determined at once. I can immediately sense she’s as on edge and agitated as I am, and I don’t like her coloring one bit. She seems far too pale, and as though she might have recently been sick.

“Daddy! The pups cry, throwing their small bodies at my legs. I catch them before they can connect with my lower body and feel the metal braces holding me upright, scooping them into my arms.
