Thank you for being patient. Here are four chapters to apologise for the delay. The story will be fast-paced now because I need to finish it this month. Thank you for being patient. 🤗🤗🤗💃🏽💃🏽
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Joseph returned to Victoria's room after Maya had left the hospital. She was awake and was healing by then. He looked at her and smiled. She returned his smile and tried to sit up. "You scared me back there," he said, breaking the ice between them, and she giggled. "I couldn't let you get all the fun. Besides, now you know how ready we are for battle," she said, and Joseph's smile dropped. He moved close to her and sat by her bedside. The proximity was much, but Victoria controlled herself. "Don't do that again, Vikky," he said on a serious note, and she nodded. "It was a decision I had to make, Alpha," She said, and he sighed. He wondered why she was formal. He remembered how rigid and reluctant she was at the warehouse and somehow realised she had been avoiding him all this while. He wanted to bring it up but did not know if this would be the right time. "It is best you call me by my name, Vikky. You have earned it," he said with a smile, and she nodded. He reached for her ha
