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 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 01 A Wedding.
Meadow sat on the staircase of her house, listening to her parents' conversation. The Luna of the whitewood pack was with them, and they were having a discussion that involved Meadow. Although they knew she was at the stairs, they did not bother. She was as good as invisible in the pack and posed no threat to anyone. Meadow was the only child of Tamar and Blake Clearwater and the least favoured in the pack. She was a lovely brunette with blue doe eyes and porcelain skin. Meadow had everything most women dreamed of, but she was greatly flawed by her condition. Soon, her looks stopped counting as she gradually faded into the shadows of her pack. People teased her growing up, but now they just ignored her. Her tears had stopped giving her peers joy. She had mastered invisibility perfectly that people never noticed her anymore. Meadow's voice was stolen at a young age and has remained mute ever since. Her parents spent a fortune trying to help her get her voice back, but it was to no
Underwater 02 The Shock.
Meadow stood frozen on the spot. Her breathing was laboured, but Ethan could not care less. He ignored her and wheeled his chair back to his desk, where he was working on his computer. Meadow's tears fell silently. She did not know where to begin. It wasn't Ethan's condition that bothered her; it was his reputation that troubled her soul. Ever since the unfortunate accident left him half the wolf he was, he had been bitter. He was ruthless and unforgiving. People were afraid of him. People feared him so much that no one ever spoke his name. Meadow realised she would be living in hell for the rest of her life. Ethan's words had registered in her mind. 'A live-in Nanny that could not quit'; that was all she was to the McClouds. "Find a place to sit and do not utter a word," he said, then turned to look at her over his shoulder. "I forgot you were mute. Excellent choice. At least I would not have to deal with rants and whines. As long as you do not invade my space, you will not have
Underwater 03 First Day
Meadow woke up late the following day. She got off the bed and realised Ethan was not lying in his bed. She looked at the clock, and it was eight in the morning. How could she have overslept on her first day? It was a weird thought being she just got married, but realising it was a job took away the joy. What made her sad wasn't the fact that her parents had deceived her, that her husband was a cripple or that he was mean. She would have made it work nonetheless. Ethan was a very handsome man, more so than his brother, and he was more feared than Joseph. She would have found a way to make it work. What hurt her the most were Luna Amber's words and how she presented the matter. If they wanted a nanny, they should have hired one on a strict contract instead of marrying a wife for Alpha Ethan. Then again, a nanny could not carry the Alpha's children, and children born out of wedlock could never inherit. Nonetheless, taking her phone from her and giving her strict rules was a low b
Underwater 04 The Dreaded Clause
Three months passed, and Meadow ensured she was on her best behaviour. She avoided getting on anybody's nerves, most especially Ethan, who was good at pretending as if she did not exist. Although Amber had made her seem like a nanny, Ethan was self-sufficient. Meadow helped him with the things he couldn't do for himself, but above all, he did most of the things himself. Ethan could survive without her, and she knew it. Which made sense why the nannies quit, coupled with his temper, but he had never lost his temper with her. Meadow never gave him a reason to. There were times that Meadow wanted to get him to go out and get some sun in the afternoon, but because he barely spoke to her, there was no opportunity for her to ask him. Staying indoors was getting to her, but there wasn't much she could do. Meadow would often wonder what Victoria was doing and if she missed her. She also wondered about her parents and if they missed her too. It was hard, but she was pushing. She wondered
Underwater 05 To The Cabin
Meadow packed her bags quickly. She did not bother with fancy clothes or make-up. Ethan had proffered a temporary escape for her, and she would take it. She knew Luna Amber would eventually get her way and have to do what the woman wanted, but she needed time to accept it. "Are you ready?" Ethan asked in a stern voice. She exited the closet with her bag and nodded quickly. "What about you?" She signed, and he turned his wheelchair around. "I have my things there," he said and moved towards the door. "Come on. I do not want to have another altercation with her," he said, and she followed him quickly. Ethan dreaded going to the cabin, but that was the quickest and closest place he could take her to. He had shared the cabin with his ex, Cynthia, and the place was filled with the memories he shared with her. It would be a painful stay for him, but he wanted to stop his mother from ruining Meadow's life. He knew she was untouched and believed his mother's plan was cruel. They left
Underwater 06 His Pain
Meadow's hands trembled while she fumbled with Ethan's phone. It was as if she was finally getting food after being denied for so long. She longed to communicate with Victoria and could not believe her luck. Her tears rose as she typed her message to Victoria, and Ethan noticed it. Meadow's emotions made him look away, and he wheeled himself to the cabin's living area to watch the news. He expected Keith soon, so he stayed where he could control his behaviour rather than return to the room. Ethan could stand seeing Cynthia's picture anywhere but the room he currently occupied because that was the place he had spent the last night with her. They were in that room when she told him he was a has-been and useless to himself and everyone around him. She told him she did not want to be saddled with the responsibility of caring for his kind and that she knew she was better off. She blackmailed him and told him he would let her go if he genuinely cared for her. He was speechless and co

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
