Underwater 23 The Episode
There was an eagerness and a fear to meet the witness. Although the brothers were eager, they feared what they would find would be disturbing. Their mother did not seem like she was well. Ethan and Joseph hoped what they would learn won't worsen her condition. "So this suspect miraculously shows up," Levi said, finding the person suspicious."That is the issue; he shows up after seventeen years. Where was he all this while when we put up posters and offered a reward to whoever had information? Where was he? Why didn't he step forward, then? Why now.The man asked, and everyone was silent."Dear, let them handle this," Amber said, almost on the verge of tears, reliving her husband's death again."No, I want to see this man and ask him why he waited so long," He argued, and just then, Meadow began to sweat at the table, but no one noticed because of the issue with Levi."I do not think you have to meet with this man," Ethan told Levi, and he looked at Ethan."And why is that? I am in c
Underwater 24 Taking Steps
Ethan and Joseph arrived home feeling disappointed. Not wanting to dwell on the matter, they all quietly went to their rooms, promising to talk about it the next day. Ethan was mad. He'd not only missed dinner, but he also missed spending time with Meadow. He should have just remained. She needed him to stay with her after the episode she had. He went to the room and found Victoria on his couch while Meadow was sleeping on the bed. He wheeled his chair to where Victoria was and gently tried to wake her. It took a bit for her to wake. She kept turning and pushing his hand away. It irritated him, but Ethan did not want to do anything that would disturb Meadow's sleep, so he was patient and continued to tap her until Victoria finally woke up. She was a bit disoriented initially but eventually came through and stood up immediately. "Alpha," she said aloud before he could shut her up. Being a light sleeper, Meadow woke up, and Ethan was mad at Victoria. "Go to the room you slept in la
Underwater 25 Dr Camila
Meadow was nervous about seeing a therapist. The last one she saw as a teenager after she got her wolf caused a rift between her and her parents. She remembered the event like it was yesterday, how she and her mother had returned home in silence. That was the last time her mother ever tried to have a meaningful conversation with her. After that visit, things got worse in the house, and her mother would talk down on her and tell her how she was useless and that she would never amount to anything. Her mother would often wish she never had her out of anger. It got worse when she turned eighteen when wolves started finding their mates either through fate or choice. Her mother would attend a wedding and come home sad, weeping, claiming she would never have that kind of joy in her life. She would often say she feels she does not have a child. It was all traumatic for Meadow. She remembered it started after her last visit to the speech therapist at sixteen.Looking at Ethan, she wanted to
Underwater 26 An Advice
The day for the trip to the cabin had finally come. Meadow was the first to wake up. She was excited about going back to the cabin. She wasn't thrilled about the pictures of his ex being there, and she hoped he would have the decency to pull them down soon. She was suddenly feeling protective and possessive of Ethan without even knowing it. The noise Meadow made while trying to figure out what to wear woke Ethan up. She had no clue he was awake and watching her. Ethan admired her while she walked in her sexy white lace underwear, trying to figure out what to wear. She had decided to dress up in the room, not the closet, so he quietly fed his eyes. He also noticed that she was very confident when she believed no one was watching. It was cute. He realised the years of bullying and bad talking had somehow made her timid and killed her self-esteem, but the Meadow he saw confidently moving about and trying to see what best to wear was the real Meadow. The timid Meadow was her pretend f
Underwater 27 Love and Lies
Ashely smiled, approaching Cynthia. She had heard that Cynthia was in town but did not know she would have the heart to come to the mansion. She could not believe her eyes. Cynthia was her role model at the academy, and Ashley wanted to be her. She was cool and would have been Luna had Ethan not lost his legs. Seeing her now warmed Ashley's heart, and she rushed to hug Cynthia.Cynthia was stiff at first but then relaxed and wrapped her arms around Ashely. Cynthia wasn't good with human contact but composed herself and ignored the proximity. Soon Ashely broke away with a smile on her face."How have you been?" She asked, and Cynthia nodded. Ashley noticed she wasn't happy, so she invited her for a coffee. Cynthia was reluctant at first but soon obliged. A driver came to take them to the place.Entering the car, Cynthia remembered when that was her life. Ethan doted on her. He gave her everything she wanted. Had he not lost his legs, she would have remained with him, but being sadd
Underwater 28 The Whisper Of Hope
Ethan and Meadow made out while she still sat on his lap. Wanting to go a bit further and feeling impatient about it, Meadow transferred herself to the beautiful king-size bed without Ethan asking, and the lavender scent of the sheets filled her senses. He smiled at her and managed to transfer himself onto the bed swiftly. "I was worried you wouldn't like it," He confessed, and she sat up and shook her head with a big smile. "I love it," She signed, and he laughed. Taking the initiative, Meadow grabbed onto Ethan and kissed him. The gesture surprised him, and he was glad she was getting bolder. He returned the kiss passionately, and she went on top of him. She knew he was hard while she was sitting on his lap. Breaking the kiss, she unbuttoned her dress, and he paid attention. She kept her eyes on him, and he smiled at her. She opened the dress, exposing her bra, and he felt her breast with his hand. Squeezing them gently, her mouth opened, a moan would have escaped if she had
Underwater 29 As Things Are
The couple finally got out of bed in the evening when Keith and Elaine decided to visit them. Keith had teased Ethan through the mind link, and Ethan knew that Keith would tease him again. He did not mind it; he was proud of how things went between him and Meadow.Ethan touched his thigh again, and the sensation was there. He kept it to himself and looked at Meadow, who was busy trying to dress up. She was oblivious that he was staring at her, making her more beautiful in his eyes. He admired her innocence and her honesty. She was a gem in his eyes, and he thanked the goddess for her.Had he known she would bring him so much bliss and good luck, he would have been at that altar on the wedding day. Remembering how the wedding might have gone for her made him feel bad. He imagined how she would have walked down the aisle to the altar alone with no groom in sight. It was a huge embarrassment and a sign of rejection.The gossip and the mockery that Meadow would have had to endure becaus
Underwater 30 Guests At The Border
Joseph found what his mother told him baffling. He wondered why Ashley would do what she did when she knew the family's disapproval of Cynthia. He had once told her how cruel the woman acted, leaving the man she claimed to love and wanted to spend the rest of her life with, in his time of need. There was nothing worse than that type of betrayal. He wanted to call her on the phone, but he would wait until she came home. Adam walked into his office a few minutes later, and it sounded like there was an emergency."Alpha, there is an ongoing attack at the border that separates us from Primewood territory. I do not have the full details, but I suspect they might be rogue wolves. We are needed there," Adam said, and this was part of the Alpha duty that Joseph hated. Having to fight and kill enemies wasn't his cup of tea. He wished everyone could live peacefully, but the world did not function that way; it was either fight or die.Joseph left the document he was attending to on the desk
