Underwater 62 Building A Bridge
Two weeks have passed since Cynthia took over the mansion. Amber's health had deteriorated faster than predicted, and the brothers were yet to make headway. Their friends and workers were still locked up, and Cynthia was unwilling to negotiate their release. It was a bad situation, but they kept pushing through. Joseph finally got through to Alpha Malcolm after so many attempts. The man answered the phone as if it was an expected call. "Joseph, I am very happy to hear from you," Alpha Malcolm said, and Joseph knew things were terrible for the man because he had just broken a person's English rule by using the word 'very' in his sentence. "You mean delighted," Joseph corrected, and the man paused. "That obvious?" He asked, and Joseph laughed. "Yes, it is that obvious, and I believe mine is too. I am the one calling you after all," Joseph said, and Malcolm laughed. "How have you been managing?" Joseph asked him, and Malcom sighed. "Well, things are okay here, but it seems the an
Underwater 63 Completeness
Ethan lay in bed, worried about his friends locked up in the cells of the mansion. He did not understand why Cynthia would do such a thing. They posed no threat to her, but he knew it was her way of making him break. He looked at his wife, who lay peacefully beside him. They had made love and were exhausted and ready to sleep. It had been two weeks of torture living with Cynthia in the mansion, but Ethan had ensured he did not lose time with his wife. He loved her at every opportunity and did not regret it. Ethan knew he was the only reason Meadow had not beaten the hell out of Cynthia. Meadow returned to the room the night Cynthia tried to lock her up, angry and irritated. She told Ethan that she could easily take Cynthia and her goons, but Ethan had pleaded with her to be calm. He did not want her drawing attention to herself, and since Cynthia was just a mere lackey, it would be a waste of surprise. Ethan knew they would soon have the advantage, but he wanted everything ready bef
Underwater 64 Being A Luna
"Welcome back, Echo," Ethan said to his wolf while he lay in bed with Meadow in his arms."Ethan," Echo growled, and Ethan wanted to laugh from the joy of being complete and getting his wolf back."It was hard not being able to come out. I am glad we are back," Echo said, and Ethan agreed."I am glad you didn't scare away our mate, Ethan. I tried to tell you so many times, but you just couldn't feel it, but I am glad now," Echo said, kissing Meadow's head."Mine," he said, and Ethan took the back seat for the first time in seven years to allow Echo to enjoy the feel of holding his mate in his arms. Ethan's mind reeled with the possibilities of what he would do now that he was complete again, but he needed to get his legs working. He needed exercise and training to be able to use his legs again. He looked at his feet and wiggled his toes. They moved. It wasn't a strong movement, but the twitch was there, meaning everything was getting better. Ethan wondered what it would be like shift
Underwater 65 As It Goes
The sun finally came down, and Cynthia was ready to go clubbing. She drank so much, trying to numb her pain and practically slurred her words. She was determined to try her luck with Ivy club this time and hoped to catch the eye of the dashing owner, who was also the manager. She had instructed Meadow to keep her rescue activities out of her wing. She wanted to avoid seeing the released prisoners or knowing what Meadow was doing. Cynthia decided to ask her favourite warrior, who was a Beta, to drive her to the club. When she got there, she did not feel alright, but instead of walking away from the place and going home to sleep off the alcohol in her system, she went into the club. The place was a bit silent when she walked in. Everyone knew what she had done and the position she held now. They didn't like her. She ignored the atmospheric change and headed for the VIP section, but a bouncer obstructed her. His actions confused her, but he did not care. The Gamma breed stood befo
Underwater 66 On A Mission
Ashley had sunk into depression after she left the clinic that day. Telling herself she was alright was lying to herself. She felt a hollowness that only love and companionship could fill up. It was hard for her to go back to her parent's house. She spent three days in a hotel gathering the courage to face her mother. She thought of Joseph and what he might be doing, and her heart broke every time she realised it was over.Ashley entered the relationship seeking power, hoping to become Luna, but somehow she had fallen for the man. She hoped she was pregnant and got to keep him by all means. After crying for two days and watching the flowers a stranger sent to her die, she finally braced up and headed home.Ashley did not get a welcome as she expected. Her father nearly denied her entrance, but Ashley pleaded they let her stay for six months. So she could get a job and get a small place. Going back home was a big mistake. Ashley's parents weren't kind to her. It made her heart a
Underwater 67 A Trip To The Hospital
Joseph returned home from the hospital to put some things in order before returning to keep Leah company. After he was done with the documents in his room, he decided to speak to Victoria about the list that Meadow had asked her to compile. He knocked on her door, which took a bit before she answered. He knew she must have been exhausted from helping Meadow attend to the prisoners that were released. He was grateful to Meadow and Victoria for getting Cynthia to do this. He was honestly worried for everyone they locked up. The moment she opened the door, her cheeks coloured. Joseph wondered what embarrassed her. He did not miss that she was wearing silk nightwear that had a top with thin straps and short silk shorts to match with lacey edges. It was sexy, too sexy for comfort. He figured that must have been the reason why she was blushing "Hey," he said at the door, and she smiled, unable to speak. "I am heading to the hospital. Do you want to join me while we reach out to people
Underwater 68 Arriving at Ceenas
Ashley drove down the high road, worried about what would happen to her. Sebastien was a very dangerous man, and what he did to Whitewood and Ceenas showed the extent of his evil. She hoped she would be able to charm her way through and then expose his secret and his master. She knew Sebastien was in Ceenas, and that was where she was heading. There was no need to stop for food or accommodation. Her mission was very clear, but her safety wasn't certain. Ashley called her mother to find out how she was. Leaving her mother at the mercy of her father did not sit well with her, but Maya sounded alright on the phone, and Ashley promised she would stay in touch when she got to Ceenas. Although Maya was uneasy about her daughter's mission, she hoped for the best. After a long drive, Ashley finally arrived at Ceenas borders. She wasn't surprised to see that the place was heavily guarded. That is what happens when a pack is taken over, and the new owners want to ensure it remains theirs. So
Underwater 69 How Can This Be?
Boris reported to Sebastien's office immediately, wondering what the issue was because Sebastien did not sound friendly. Sebastien was mad that he did not deem it necessary to tell him he had locked someone up. Boris also failed to inform Alpha Malcolm, who was around during the incident. No matter how insignificant the person was, Brois needed to inform him of what was happening in the pack while he was away. Usually, he would see his actions as mutiny, but because he did not call the shots and Boris answered to the Alpha, he had to rein his anger and handle the situation wisely. Boris entered Sebastien's office, staring at him until he averted his gaze to acknowledge who was superior."Why did you lock a woman up for three days unattended, and why did you not deem it necessary to tell me?" He asked, and Boris looked worried. He did not think Sebastien would care, but it seemed like the man cared. Sometimes it appeared Sebastien had a heart and only hid it away because of whom the

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
