The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 216

Ethan

Jane notches her chin up defiantly, crossing her arms over her chest. “It’s nothing, we had a little scare but I’m fine.”

“Now why don’t I believe you?” I rumble ominously. I rake my eyes over her body, searching for signs of illness. Her skin is glowing and dewy, and after so many months of horrible morning sickness, her figure has rounded out to be full and lush. The only hint of distress I can decipher are the dark circles under her eyes, but those could easily be the result of traveling with a litter of five year olds and waiting for news of my surgery.

“Devon?”I turn to my old friend, praying that he can be trusted to tell me the truth when my wayward mate will not.

“It was just a bit of pre-term labor Devon explains, shooting a reluctant look at Jane. “The doctor was able to stop it before she got too far along.”

“Traitor!” Jane accuses, narrowing her eyes at Devon.

“Don’t get mad at him, you should have told me.

“Don’t get mad at him, you should have told me yourself.”I scold, untangling my arm from Paisley and Riley in order to reach out and feel Jane’s round tummy. My hand splays over her belly button, “Why did it happen, how are they going to stop it from happening again?

“My c3rvix was struggling to handle the weight of the pup, that’s all.” Jane sighs, guiding my hand around the way she had in the car, moving it so I can feel the movement of the babe in her womb.

It’s not kicking like before, but simply fluttering like a butterfly’s wings against my palm. I imagine the pup doing somersaults in its protective bubble, and love surges in my veins, making me feel as if I’m back in my dream and flying through the mountains as my wolf It’s the most incredible indescribable feeling. “It really does like you, you know.” Jane observes with a tender smile. “It doesn’t move this way for anyone else.”

Jane’s eyes are bright and shining, but I know her Wiley ways too well. The clever creature is trying to distract me, to make me rethink my plans for the future, “Stop trying to butter me up and tell me what the doctor’s advised. Why aren’t you resting?”

“I don’t have to rest, I just have to do some daily injections and use this progesterone gel. It’s really fine, Ethan.” Jane answers, rolling her eyes.

I arch my brow in challenge, pinning my mate with a disapproving scowl. She softens slightly, lowering her eyes to the ground and making my wolf purr with pleasure. Instead I look to Devon,”
