Underwater 36 Hypothesis
Ethan was still in shock when doctor Camila left their cabin. He couldn't go through with his session. What the doctor had told him about Meadow's condition was baffling. To think nothing was wrong with her and some wicked bastard somewhere had decided to render her useless for goddess-knows-what was baffling. He wondered what Meadow might have stumbled on when she was young that would warrant that kind of treatment. The bastard was patient enough to return after she had gotten her wolf to silence her for good. Whoever did it was living in the pack. The fact that her memory was buried meant she would not know who it was. The person did an awful job to his wife.Ethan remembered Meadow's voice. It was soft and gentle. However hysterical it sounded, it was beautiful. He wished he could hear her speak again. Maybe she would call his name so he could hear how it sounded coming from her lips. The news had enraged him and also made him sad.The fact that the culprit tried to render her b
Underwater 37 A Trip To The Hospital
The following day, Camila left the cabin to head to town in the morning. She wanted to order a CT scan and blood work on Alpha Ethan. The plan was to get into town and book an appointment for Alpha Ethan so he would just come to town on the day of his appointment, have himself checked and return to the cabin. Camila was conscious that there might be an issue with the Alpha. Because if silver was in his spine, then the doctors that attended to him during and after the accident had deliberately left some piece lodged in to poison his system. She wondered what would be their gain unless someone had asked them to do so. If that was the case, then his accident wasn't a coincidence. The second scenario was worse because if there wasn't silver in his spine, someone or some people were finding ways to feed him the substance at home. Which meant his foes were closer than he thought. Either way, it showed that the Alpha had foes. She became worried, afraid that she had gotten herself mixed up
Underwater 38 Two Weeks Ultimatum
Josephs's words had hurt Cynthia. She did not think she deserved that kind of treatment. She felt he was extreme and wrong. There was no harm in her returning to be with her ex. If it weren't for the fact that they kept hiding Ethan and his wife away from her, she was sure she would have broken through his defences and had him back. The kind of love they had could not just fade away like that. Ethan was hurt for so long. There was no way he was over her. Seeing that he was still in a wheelchair made her realise she had done the right thing. She had answered Joseph's call, intending to size him up and realised he would be a bit more complicated than she expected. She wondered how stupid Ashley was able to get him. Maybe she had lost her touch. Her time with Sabastien might have made her less alluring. Cynthia was still thinking of what had happened with Joseph when a call came through on her phone. She got off the bed and grumbled before answering to see who it was. She wasn't h
Underwater 39 The Ceenas Issue
Ashely got home feeling jumpy. She was very worried about her conversation with Cynthia. She knew the woman might have bad intentions. Although Cynthia told her she wanted to return to Ethan, she knew there was more to it. Cynthia did not seem to want to be saddled with a cripple. Ashely did not want to overthink it. She knew if something went wrong, Cynthia would rope her into it. She needed to secure herself quickly. She headed to Amber's room and knocked on the door when she got there. To her surprise, it was Levi that answered it. The man opened the door and stood before Ashley with his hands folded. He was taking a protective stance. "What do you want, Ashley?" he asked, sounding bored. "I want to see Luna Amber," she requested gently, and he glanced at his wife sitting on the couch. "It's Ashley," he said to Amber, and Amber told him to let her in. Ashely walked into the bedroom feeling weird. The room was dimly lit, and she saw Amber sitting on the couch. Ashely did
Underwater 40 The Call
Camila arrived at the Cabin, afraid and sweaty. She looked at the side mirror of the passenger's seat several times, hoping no one was following them. While she worried about a tail, she worried about how she would break the news to Alpha Ethan. Her imagination was running wild.She wondered why she got involved. All Dr Rosenberg asked her to do was help the Luna out. He never instructed her to help Alpha Ethan. She knew he might have been involved because he was part of Alpha Ethan's medical staff and the doctor that signed off on his treatment. She wondered how deep the conspiracy was. There was a possibility that Dr James had overthought the whole thing, and there was no silver embedded in Alpha Ethan's spine. What would happen when they operate and find nothing? What if they operate and some complications worsen the situation? What if the silver was being ingested? Even if they did blood work on Ethan, it wouldn't work because both scenarios would make him test positive fo
Underwater 41 Off To Saftey
Joseph was about to leave his office to deal with Ashley when Ethan's call came in on his phone. He looked at the screen and was surprised that his brother would call him at night. Worried about what Malcolm had told him, he signalled Adam and Brian to remain while he answered the call. He had to be ready in case of an emergency. "Hello," Joseph said on the phone. "Joseph, I need you to send Adam with your trusted warriors to Camila Richardson's house. Her husband is under attack. I need you to hurry there quickly and make sure they do not get him," He urgently said to Joseph. "Hold on," Joseph said and looked at Adam and Brian. "Prep a van; we have a mission," He told Adam, and the three of them headed out. "Text me the address," Joseph said to Ethan on the phone while he moved. "I also want you to get Dr James Pitsberg and bring him to the cabin tonight. Do not take chances," Ethan said. "Keith has texted both addresses to Adam now," Ethan added, and Joseph got into the pass
Underwater 42 A Decision, Call and Breakup
Joseph, Adam and Brian left the cabin the next day. Joesph promised to send some people over to guard the place. It was a gamble, but they doubted their men were compromised. They decided to select from the few that helped fight at the border. The loyalty of those wolves did not need to be questioned. The drive was silent. Neither of them could believe what had happened. No one could guess the reason behind it all.When they got to the mansion, Joseph went into the building while Adam and Brian went to park the van so they could use their personal cars back to their various houses. Joseph knew the beta and gamma would sleep most of the day because none of them got the rest they needed.When he got to the door of his room, he remembered his issue with Ashley.He took a deep breath and opened the door. Ashley was crying on the couch, worried that Joseph did not come home or call her. She was afraid he had gone to be with Cynthia. The moment she saw him, she was relaxed."Joseph," Sh
Underwater 43 Preparations
Ashley knew better not to push it, so she quietly packed her bags and left Joseph's room. She went to the south wing as Luna Amber had instructed her. The room given to her was beautiful. She was glad that Amber had considered her comfort but felt empty. Why did she think she could get away with it? She wondered what made her think Joseph would not make good of his promise. She had crossed all limits with him, and to think Cynthia messed with her on their last meeting. She had lost everything. She sat on the bed and wept.Luna Amber linked Joseph to join her in her office. She wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and discover what went wrong between him and Ashley. She did not like Ashley but cared because she was carrying Joseph's baby.Joseph wanted to sleep because he had a rough night, but he decided to honour his mother and see her in her office.Joseph knocked, and she asked him to enter.He smiled at her, and she frowned, wondering why he looked tired."What is wrong wit

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
