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 79 Eavesdropping
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
Underwater 80 All Said And Much More
Joseph led Victoria to his bed, still kissing and owning her lips. Victoria was afraid that it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, but she would take anything to satisfy her need for him at that moment. She knew if it was fleeting, she would burn badly, but it would be worth it. He gently led her to the bed and laid her down; she let him. Joseph broke off the kiss to stare into her eyes. He could see her heart there, something he never saw in Ashley's eyes. The pure love that wasn't selfish or demanding. He could see it, and he hoped she could see the surrender in his eyes. As much as he wanted to hold out and wait and see, what happened at the warehouse let him know all they had was the moment; he did not plan to waste it. "There is no one else, Vicky. I do not feel anything for Leah but gratitude," he confessed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had suffered for almost two months thinking and believing otherwise. "It had been you for a while now, but I wanted the troubles over
Underwater 81 In The Meantime
The drive to Ceenas was long and boring for Joseph. He was eager to get back home. He felt he should have asked Victoria to come with him, but he did not know how the place would be. He did not want her to be in a situation where they would have to fight and defend themselves. Adam stared at him for most of it, studying his friend's mood and countenance. "What's with you and Vicky?" he finally asked, and Joseph looked at him. Adam kept his eyes trained on the road while Joseph sat in the passenger seat. They did not go with anyone, so they would not intimidate their hosts. Joseph wanted to be safe because he knew Sebastien was there and did not know what to expect from the guy. "What's with Vicky?" Joseph asked Adam, and Adam chuckled. "We are friends, you know. You can tell me. I trained her for a bit, so I know her scent, and you reek of her," he said, and Rex growled before Joseph could even control his wolf. Training her and knowing her scent meant touching her and being too
