The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 26 Chan Sains the Day

Ethan

The doctor arrives first thing in the morning, after Jane has already roused the pups and fled the house. My naughty little mate is as skittish as a scared rabbit, and it’s no wonder why. She’s certainly carrying a lot of secrets around with her, and the three biggest ones are living in the room next to mine.

Unfortunately for her, I have no intention of leaving now. I need to get to the hospital to see Paisley, but the more time that passes, the clearer it becomes that I have three other pups to worry about here. I’ve only met them in passing thus far and I don’t even know the boys’ names, but I’m going to stay here until I do.

Jane has been very clever these past few years and I don’t expect unraveling her web of lies is going to be easy, but Goddess am I excited to begin. I haven’t felt this exhilarated in years, and it truly amazes me I could feel so thrilled by her deception. I suppose the joy of discovering her alive has overpowered the fury I might otherwise be feeling – though I have a sneaking suspicion I won’t feel that way for much longer.

The doctor is quick and professional, examining me in the privacy of Linda’s guest room and gently lecturing me about the dangers of over-indulging. I don’t correct the man about the source of my concussion, I plan on dealing with Jane : myself, and I need him on my side in order for my plan to succeed.

“I want you to tell Linda I have to stay on bedrest here for a

few more days.” I quietly intone as he packs away his supplies.

“But alpha, you’re more than well enough to return home.” He replies, furrowing his brow.

His confusion is understandable, but I don’t show him any empathy. Pulling a handful of banknotes from my wallet, press them into his palm. “I know your diagnosis, and I know what I said.” I explain coolly. “I need to stay here a while longer, and I want you to back me up.”

He frowns deeply, staring up at me as the gears work in his mind. I still haven’t released his hand, and when he doesn’t immediately agree I squeeze his palm more firmly, making the smaller man wince. “Yes sir.” He agrees, lowering his gaze in submission.

“Thank you.” I smile, letting him go at last.

I listen at the door as he explains the situation to Linda, grinning at the surprise in her voice and the obvious concern she feels over having Jane and I locked up in her apartment together. When she starts to approach the guest room after he departs, I quickly jump into bed and pretend to be asleep.

She pushes the door open and watches me for a long moment, and I have to hope she’s convinced by my act. In the

end she closes the door again without speaking, either deciding to let me pretend, or believing I actually need the rest.

Thank you, doctor. I think slyly, you just bought me three more days with Jane, and I’m not going to waste them.
