Underwater 16 My Burden
Four days was a long time away from the pack. Alpha Malcolm ensured he spent time showing Ethan and Joseph how big his pack was. He bragged about how they had expanded over the years, and Joseph commended him while Ethan remained silent. One thing Ethan noticed was Malcolm's habit of correcting peoples' grammar. He did not understand the alpha's need to constantly correct Joseph when speaking. At first, he thought it was just a coincidence, but after the man repeated it severally, he realised it was a habit. He would correct Joseph and explain to Joseph why it is so. "I really want to go home," Ethan confessed to Joseph, missing Meadow. Although he didn't say it, Joseph knew that was why Ethan was impatient. The whole talk about Cynthia's return to the pack did not seem to bother Ethan like Joseph had thought it would. He was glad about it. He knew that Ethan would react when he saw Cynthia because he knew his brother wasn't over the heartbreak yet, and she was the reason he was ye
Underwater 17 The Treaty Debate
Ethan was getting pretty impatient about Malcolm. The back and forth on the terms and conditions of the treaty took too long, and Joseph began to worry that it might go differently than he had hoped. Malcolm was determined to take advantage of the situation. He knew that the fact that the McClouds were in Ceenas putting up with his bullshit meant they were desperate. Even though Ethan did not say a word and Joseph did most of the talking about how beneficial the treaty would be to Ceenas, Malcolm could not help but notice the weakness. Ethan had a disability, and Joseph seemed not to have too much of an Alpha in him. Realising these bits of information made Malcolm decide to throw in the bomb. "I have heard everything you said, Alpha Joseph, and I must say, your explanation is impressive. You would have thrived as a sales executive in a firm because you are convincing," Malcolm said, and Ethan saw it as an insult but kept it to himself. "It isn't hard to see what is really going o
Underwater 18 Home Again.
Meadow's mood changed after the discussion with Amber in the garden. She should be happy that she would be Luna eventually and that Amber had decided to give her a chance, but the news about Amber's sickness had crushed whatever joy she might have had from the entire experience. She wondered what was happening with Amber, but she dared not ask. She knew better not to push it.So while she thought of helping Ethan start his physiotherapy, she also thought of finding a way to make Amber open up more than she had already, in case there was hope to help fix her situation.Soon it was time for dinner, and Meadow went to the dining room. Amber was her usual stoic self, not smiling or relating with anyone. Ashley was quiet, and Levi minded his business. They were back to their usual selves.Meadow bowed to greet everyone before sitting down."Next time, just sign the greetings, Rashel would translate. That's what your husband is paying her for. No more bowing," Amber said, and Meadow signed
Underwater 19 A Day In
Ethan pulled Meadow close and kissed her neck. The goosebumps on her skin showed her approval, and he touched her thigh. "Did you miss me much?" He asked, breathing into her ears, and she squeezed his arm for dear life. She hoped he would go all the way now and wondered why he was holding back. "Ethan," Amber linked her son again, spoiling the mood, and he broke away from his wife, leaving her breathing heavy. She looked ravishing with her messy hair and blush. "What is it?" He snapped at Amber through the mind link. He did not want the interruption. He had anticipated getting back to Meadow for five days and did not need his mother linking him while he was trying to get intimate with his wife. She would just kill the mood. Meadow's eyes showed she was ready, and he was eager. "I need some peace and quiet. I will see you after breakfast," he linked Amber and closed the mind link before Amber could respond. He looked at Meadow and smiled at her. "We need to shower. I will ask Bea
Underwater 20 Mother and Son
Meadow was excited about the progress they had made. After waiting an hour, Ethan made love to her again, and they showered. They planned to spend time by the lake, but Ethan knew he would have to see Amber first.He secretly linked the staff to prepare a picnic for both of them by the lake and take Meadow there when it was set. He wanted her to have fun and be happy and planned on making every moment count with her to the best of his ability."I have to check on my mother," Ethan told Meadow, and she smiled at him."It's okay. I can wait," She signed, and he smiled."I won't keep you waiting, I promise. You can go to the lake before me. I will meet you there," he said, wheeling himself out of the room, fully satiated and happy with his life.Ethan's smile disappeared in his typical fashion once he stepped out, but the staff that greeted him in the hallway did not miss the light in his eyes. They were part of the rose gatherers, so they knew the considerable step their Alpha had taken
Underwater 21 Getting To Know you
Ethan got to the lake, and Meadow was pleased to see him. She was already missing him. The thought of the things they did together flooded her mind, and she felt butterflies. Who would have thought she would end up with the alpha of their pack? Crippled or not, Ethan was a great catch, and she was glad they were making it work."I hope I didn't keep you waiting." He said, and she shook her head and smiled. The rays of the sun kissed her hair, and the breeze blew it gently. She looked beautiful in his eyes, and as her rose scent brushed through him, he felt his wolf stir, a reaction he had now realised was caused by his wife. Meadow smiled at him, and his heart was warm. He admired her in the beige sundress she was wearing. It was short, and it showed her lovely legs. Ethan was looking at Meadow as if he was seeing her for the first time. He allowed his heart to feel and his eyes to see the beauty that is his wife.He wheeled himself to where she was, and she bent to kiss his forehe
Underwater 22 Work In Progress
Meadow was overjoyed about her ring and could not stop staring at it. Ethan saw the joy in her eyes and knew it must have hurt that her wedding wasn't conventional.While they were in the van on their way home, Ethan touched her hands and rubbed them gently."I am sorry I didn't do this sooner," he said gently, looking at the beautiful woman who gave him a chance. Tears of joy streamed down her cheeks because she appreciated the gesture."It's okay," she signed, and he smiled.They returned to the mansion in the evening and showered so they would arrive on time for dinner. Although Ethan did not care about the times, Meadow did; she was determined never to offend Luna Amber again.She kept her wedding band and engagement ring on, and they moved to the dining room.Luna Amber was yet to be seated, and it was odd. Both she and Levi were usually the first at the table, but Ashley and Joseph were the only ones there."Where is mother?" Ethan asked Joseph."She wasn't feeling too well, but
Underwater 23 The Episode
There was an eagerness and a fear to meet the witness. Although the brothers were eager, they feared what they would find would be disturbing. Their mother did not seem like she was well. Ethan and Joseph hoped what they would learn won't worsen her condition. "So this suspect miraculously shows up," Levi said, finding the person suspicious."That is the issue; he shows up after seventeen years. Where was he all this while when we put up posters and offered a reward to whoever had information? Where was he? Why didn't he step forward, then? Why now.The man asked, and everyone was silent."Dear, let them handle this," Amber said, almost on the verge of tears, reliving her husband's death again."No, I want to see this man and ask him why he waited so long," He argued, and just then, Meadow began to sweat at the table, but no one noticed because of the issue with Levi."I do not think you have to meet with this man," Ethan told Levi, and he looked at Ethan."And why is that? I am in c

Underwater 96 Life Goes On
Three weeks later. Ethan stood at the altar, waiting for his bride to come. He was nervous. Even though the wedding was taking place in the private park by the lake with a gentle breeze blowing, he had beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked at where his mother and stepfather sat, and Levi smiled at him, letting him know he would be all right. Ethan stood with Keith and Malcolm behind him. Sebastien and Ashley's wedding was ongoing at the River pack, so they couldn't make it. They had all decided to wed on the same day to make it memorable. Everything went quiet, and the sound faded the moment Ethan caught Meadows's scent as she walked down the aisle. Blake held his daughter and led her through. Unlike the first time, she had a broad smile, and her heart was eager to get to the altar. Ethan looked at her, and he had never seen anything as beautiful as his mate. She was radiant and walked down with her eyes fixed on him. They had both come a long way, and this was the reward. B
Underwater 95 The Battle
It took two hours for Sebastien and the army to arrive. The moment they arrived, everyone heard the fight on the grounds. Amber, Elaine and Leah prepared to run for cover once the door opened, while the rest prepared to shift and fight. Their eyes were trained at the door. They knew someone would open it. It would either be an enemy or a friend, but the door was bound to open to ensure they were still in the room and not the cause of the battle that had started. Someone finally turned the lock. The person opened the door, and to their surprise, it was Cynthia and Sean. They looked like they planned on running away together. "Follow me," Amber told them, no questions asked. She was going to lead them through the secret escape. They were not going to hide in the mansion. They were going to hide in the woods. Sean and Cynthia could run away from there. Ethan looked at his ex, and he nodded with approval. With those two acts, she had redeemed herself; he hoped she had changed for t
Underwater 94 A Change Of Heart
Ethan got up and hugged Meadow immediately. She rested her head on his chest and wept. She felt free for the first time in a long time. Ethan cupped her face in his arms and kissed her fiercely. Then broke the kiss and stared at her. "Say my name," he said, and everyone started laughing. They weren't bothered because their plan had worked, and Linus had underestimated them. "Ethan", Meadow said, and it sounded like music to his ears. Brian, Adam, Victoria, and Leah were shocked that Ethan's legs were all right, but they did not fuss about it. The truth is they had all prepared for this day. They were waiting for the Alpha so they could end the charade. It had finally happened. Ethan did not expect that he would hear his wife finally speak for the first time. Her voice was even better than her voice in the mind link. It was like music to his ears, and he looked forward to hearing her call his name when they made love. "What did Sebastian say?" Ethan asked Keith. "They are on
Underwater 93 What Really Happened
Joseph stood up immediately, not wanting Ethan to blow his cover, and went to help Meadow. Amber was in shock, likewise Elaine and Victoria. Ethan was frozen in his chair. He did not want his uncle to know he could walk. He was grateful to Joseph. Meadow's hands began to shake while she screamed and pointed at Linus. Her eyes were purple, and Ethan knew Nightshade was in charge. Ethan looked at his uncle, and the man had a smug look on his. It was clear he expected it. He was calm, almost laughing. They all knew something was not right. "And she can speak," Linus said, and Ethan yelled at him. "Shut the fuck up! Don't you have compassion!" Ethan said, getting pissed off. Echo was trying to surface. "I would watch my tongue if I were you, little nephew. I have this place surrounded by my army," he said, and everyone froze, even Nightshade. "It was you! All along?" Levi said, connecting the dots, and Linus began to laugh. Levi thought of all that had happened to them since Cain
Underwater 92 Cynthia's Plight
Cynthia sat in front of the mirror in her room. She had heard of the arrival of the guest, but she wasn't interested in seeing him. She was too broken and numb to want to know what was happening. She was also tired of everything. She wasn't lying when she told Sebastien she wanted out. She had not fulfilled her Luna dreams in all the years she had been chasing it. She missed out on a lot. Seeing Ethan with Meadow made her realise how she had fucked her life up, and then hearing Sebastien had paired up with Ashley was the last straw. It wasn't that she was unlucky; she was the one that made herself unlucky. She sat in front of the vanity mirror and could no longer recognise herself again. Her mother always told her she would make a beautiful Luna. Her bloody Omega mother could not make the cut. She believed her Delta wolf's weakness was because her mother was an Omega. Why did her father mate with her? She was angry at the world. She had the urge to run away, but Sebastien's wor
Underwater 91 Welcome Uncle
Levi felt rage rising in him seeing Linus. He remembered everything the bastard put him through and did not feel it was right to welcome him into their home, especially when they were in a bad situation, but it wasn't up to him. It was up to Ethan. "This isn't the time for this nonsense, Linus. You see that the pack has been overrun?" Levi asked him calmly, and Linus walked into the mansion. "I have nothing to discuss with you or Amber. I heard she found a donor. The bitch was always lucky like that." He said, and Levi punched him in the face. Linus did not see it coming, or he would have dodged. His nose cracked, and there was blood in his mouth and nose. He did not flinch from pain. He just looked at Levi and smiled with his bloody teeth. "As violent as I remembered. I wonder if that was how you buried the knife in my cousin," Linus said, and Levi was mad. "We both know that is not true," Levi said, and just then, Joseph and Victoria came towards them. Although it had been lon
Underwater 90 Call Your Alpha
One week later, Cynthia realised that the staff in the house were gone. She wondered where they had all gone. She needed help with certain things and could not get anyone to do the chores. So she got mad and ordered everyone in the house to meet her outside. So that they do not ignore her as always, she asked Beta Sean to make sure they all came outside. She stood outside, waiting for the residents to assemble. Everyone was mad about being called from their room, but they controlled their temper. There was no need to fight now when they were yet to meet the culprit. Still, it was slowly getting to the point where Ethan and joseph wanted to damn everything and just finish off Cynthia and their goons and then wait for the next attack. It would give them an immediate solution, but it wouldn't last because the bastard could still strike from the shadows. Meadow suffered from morning sickness, and Ethan did not want her to go out, but Sean said that Luna insisted that everyone must c
Underwater 89 A Whore's Greed
Kate stared at the two alphas. She was afraid and knew her life was forfeit. She hoped they were kind enough to lock her up or she was finished. "I worked in a tavern in Primewood." She started, and they listened. "I was a lady of the night," she confessed, and Levi figured that she had to lack values to stoop so low. Not all of them were like that. Some of them had solid reasons for going into prostitution due to situations that were beyond them but looking at Kate, he figured greed was her motivation. She was just a less privileged version of Cynthia. "I wasn't making much, and I was planning to relocate to Whitewood where there was money, but Luna Amber had banned prostitution in all her territories, so the prospect of getting a job wasn't possible. Also, moving to Whitewood was challenging. We had to fill out forms and apply for residency to stay, in which the Luna or Alpha would determine whether we made the cut or not. That also made my chances slim. Whitewood was and stil
Underwater 88 Start Talking
On their way home, Levi thought of the many things he would do to Kate. He had a lot in store for her and planned to drill her to the last bit. He was going to ask Ethan to join him, but he wanted to give Ethan space to spend time with his wife and celebrate their unborn child. He would settle for Joseph's help because he needed someone present, so he did not go overboard. On the other hand, Ethan was ecstatic about the news of being a father soon; he began to see things differently. Finding and ending this Alpha wasn't about revenge and taking back their pack anymore; it was now about their future. It was about securing their children's future and creating a safe environment for them to grow in. It was about sanity and peace. He did not want his children to experience the chaos he had known since he was twelve. He wanted peace and serenity. They arrived at the Mansion. Ethan and Meadow headed to their wing while Levi headed to his wing. On his way to his room, Cynthia accosted h
