Underwater 71 Good And Uncomfortable
Amber's surgery was successful. Joseph was thrilled about it. Amber had finally woken up but no one told her what was happening. Levi remained by her side while she and Leah remained in the same room to recover. Amber was grateful to Leah. Unlike Joseph and Ethan, she remembered the girl and little did she know she would be her saviour. The McClouds put behind the sorrow and chose to put behind their issues as far as they could while their mother recovered. It had been forty-eight hours since the surgery, and the two ladies were still under supervision in the hospital.Meadow and Ethan were on watch, but Joseph had decided to remain with them. He was supposed to have started training the recruits, but he wanted to give it time. It wasn't every day that prayers got answered. The miracle that Leah brought into their lives was worth putting everything on hold for. He stood by Leah's bed and thanked her for everything she had done. Though Leah was asleep, his heart was genuinely grate
Underwater 72 Visiting The Hospital
One week later, Ethan opted to take his wife to a quiet location where they could spend time shift, and he could discuss visiting Meadow's parents with her. He also made a mental note to ask his mother certain things about the Clearwaters once she is strong to speak. The way they behaved toward their daughter was abnormal. They should have somehow tried to reach out, especially after the takeover. He had expected them, especially Meadow's mother, to reach out.Ethan knew how negligent Meadow's parents were when she was little. His father had scolded Blake Clearwater several times for leaving his three-year-old daughter alone to roam the park at night, looking for a missing cat.Although the park was somehow close to their house and it was a walking distance, the girl had no business walking about the place at night at that age. Ethan recalled his father taking her home on many occasions, and there was a time he threatened to take the child from Blake. Somehow Ethan suspected it w
Underwater 73 About The Clearwaters
Ethan watched Levi care for his mother. There was no doubt that the man loved her genuinely. He wondered why anyone ever doubted it. He was a douchebag to people most of the time but never to her. She was his weakness. Levi had been destabilised since the whole thing. Ethan also noticed he had lost a lot of weight. Now that he was married to Meadow, he could understand his stepfather better than he did in the past.They were still yet to tell Amber about the fight's outcome and Cynthia's takeover with the anonymous Alpha. They wanted her to be healed enough so that her blood pressure would not be an issue before they broke the news to her. They often danced around the matter, never addressing it.It had become more challenging for Levi because of all the questions she had been asking. Still, he managed to dance around the answer unnoticed. "I see you are enjoying your married life, Ethan," Amber said, noticing the joy in Ethan's eyes, and he smiled at her. "More than you can imagine
Underwater 74 At The Warehouse
Two weeks passed, and Cynthia's boss had yet to show up even though she had bragged about it. He kept telling her it would just be a little longer, and she kept hoping. Linus did not come either, and Ethan believed the man feared the unknown Alpha. It was very unlike him not to seize the opportunity that had presented itself.Ethan was nervous about it. He had told Joseph, and even Joseph wasn't happy about their uncle's plan to visit. The man was a problem. After all their mother had been through, having her and Levi deal with his shit would be wrong. Joseph wished Ethan had told the guy not to bother, but he knew it wouldn't matter. Linus would do whatever Linus wanted to do. Meadow's therapy was going smoothly, and Victoria's training with Adam was going smoothly too. Victoria never returned to the hospital again after that day. It wasn't like she did not wish Amber well, but she wasn't ready to face Joseph. Nothing transpired between them, but she was hopeful that it would. It
Underwater 75 At The Hospital
Levi had told his mate everything that was happening before Ethan arrived at the hospital. Amber was angry and sad at the same time, but she knew she needed to be strong for the sake of her sons. She knew they were doing their best. Had she and Levi not fallen that day, she knew Joseph would have killed them all. She blamed herself because Levi had also fallen trying to protect her. She felt terrible, but Levi pleaded with her to be strong because everyone needed strength right now. He also told her that Cynthia was not the issue; the man she worked for was the main problem, and as long as he remained in the shadows, they would never have peace."So what are Ethan and Joseph doing about the situation?" she asked Levi, and just then, Ethan wheeled in with Meadow behind him.Ethan knew from the look on his mother's face that Levi had broken the news to her."I need you to be calm because we all have it under control," he told her confidently, letting her know that he meant what he said
Underwater 76 Back to Ceenas
Sebastien remained in his room all morning after talking with Ashley. Realising how far he had to go for his mission haunted him and his wolf. It was indeed a heavy burden on him. A responsibility he was willing to carry without getting his heart involved. Now his heart was involved. Stabbing Ashley at that moment seemed like the right thing to do. He knew she would never forgive him for it. He later left his room in the afternoon to attend to pack matters. He tried to look as if nothing bothered him, but Malcolm noticed because of the puffiness around his eyes. They went to the Alpha's office, and Malcolm checked the mini fridge for booze. "Didn't sleep?" Malcolm asked, and he nodded, collecting a bottle of beer from Malcolm. Although it was too early to be drinking, the situation warranted it. They were both stuck. "Couldn't," Sebastien confessed, and Malcolm sighed. "This whole thing is a charade," Malcolm said, thinking the situation with the unknown Alpha was giving Seba
Underwater 77 Taking It
Ashley reluctantly went to join Sebastien. The pack members looked at her as she walked past them. The lady sitting beside Sebastien at the head of the table got up immediately to create a place for Ashley to sit. The woman was from the River pack and wanted Sebastien to herself. Cynthia had been her only problem, but since Cynthia was out of the way, Klara was hoping Sebastien would look her way, but how could he when he knew he had a fated somewhere? Had Sebastien not asked Klara to get up, she would have remained seated. She was territorial about him even though she had no reason to be. Sebastien had never looked at her. A place was created for Klara on the side of the table next to Ashley's seat. Sebastien maintained a calm exterior and had Ashley sit beside him. "Please enjoy yourself tonight," he said gently. Ashley was busy battling their bond while he welcomed the tug of their bond. Sebastien served her meals and ensured she had everything she needed. He was also gen
Underwater 78 Intentions
Seeing they were fully mated and belonged to each other, Sebastien decided to open up to Ashley about his mission. He felt he could trust her, and they belonged together now. He did not want to carry the burden alone, nor did he want secrets between them. He gently stroked Ashley's head on his chest and kissed her head. He would have waited for her if he had known someone special was waiting for him. It was painful when he found out she belonged to Joseph. He felt it was Karma for allowing Cynthia to use him to hurt Ethan by leaving Ethan for him, but honestly, he never intended it that way. Cynthia had lied about everything. Now he had someone that was genuinely his. He promised to make sure he survived for her sake and to be the best man he could be for her. He promised he would be blind to her flaws and forgive her faults. Love and cherish her and never lead her astray. He would never cheat on her or look at another woman again. He was in this a hundred per cent. "I want

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
