Chapter 23 Ethan Wakes Up
Ryder and Parker had always been talented eaves
droppers.
From before they could remember, grown ups always seemed to be having secret conversations behind closed doors. They never thought they were speaking loudly enough to be over heard – that or they thought the pups could not understand.
But they did hear.
And they did understand.
Now, it wasn’t all grown ups. Their mommy certainly knew better, but Auntie Linda did not. Ryder and Parker listened as the doctor checked over their Daddy, using strange words they did not recognize like concussion and contusion, then saying things that were very clear indeed. Such as, “he mustn’t be moved” and “He’ll need to stay here on bed rest.”
“But his daughter is to have surgery tomorrow.” Linda object
“It will have to be postponed.” The doctor assessed simply. “I’ m afraid the Alpha won’t be back on his feet for a few days.”
“Yes, Doctor.” Linda agreed grimly.
The boys were both excited and concerned. The idea of final ly getting to meet their Daddy was unbelievable enough, but this was even better. They might actually get to spend time with him – live with him. Still, it also meant their newfound sister would have to stay in the hospital even longer, and now she’d be more vul nerable to that terrible lady who tried to poison her than ever.
They had to do something.
The next morning at breakfast they asked their Mommy if they could come with her to pick up Riley and luckily she agreed.
Two hours later the boys stood in a dimly lit hospital room,
watching their sisters meet for the first time.

“We’re all twins,” Ryder corrected her.
“You know what I mean!” Riley exclaims.
“You two can switch places without anyone noticing.” Paisley elaborates, reading her sister’s mind. “Now Riley and I can do the same!” She frowns, “Of course it would be easier if we were all t’
