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
Underwater 31 Conditions
Amber left Joseph's room worried. She did not think they could handle a war or attack. Keeping the pack would be problematic if someone was trying to take it. They had lived on old glory for so long that stripping them of the badge they carried would be a disgrace. Amber did not know what to do but knew she would need Levi's help. That was why she married him anyway. Her boys were too young to lead the pack, and she knew if people realised Whitewood's Alpha was dead and his heirs were too young to lead, they would attack and take advantage of the situation. That was why she married her husband's beta, an Alpha, to keep the hungry wolves away long enough until Ethan was ready. Although Ethan only spent a year as Alpha, people felt his might, and their glory was restored. As she walked back to her room, tears stung her eyes. She cursed the universe for allowing such a cruel fate to befall Ethan. No one would have dared this had he not been crippled. She did not underestimate Joseph.
Underwater 32 NightShade
The cabin was alive at night. Elaine made delicious dishes, and Meadow helped out. They were having fun. The communication was a bit off, but they were having fun nonetheless. Ethan and Keith remained in the living area, talking about past memories. Keith was overjoyed to see the light Meadow had brought into Ethan's life. He was a totally different person. "I thought you and Elaine could stay in one of the rooms upstairs while we are here. Meadow seems to like your wife," Ethan asked his friends, and Keith glanced at the kitchen section. He nodded with approval. "It will be nice. Being isolated from the rest of the pack gets to her sometimes, but she refuses to move back to town. She likes it out here. We get to shift and hunt whenever we like, and the place is just serene." Keith explained to Ethan, and Ethan knew the feeling. He once felt that way until Cynthia crushed his hopes, dreams and desires. He did not feel anything towards Cynthia. Thinking about it, he realised he wa
Underwater 33 The Aftermath
Ethan, Meadow and Keith entered the cabin in silence. Elaine was waiting nervously in the living room. She stood up immediately to assess the situation. Seeing that the three of them were alright helped her relax a bit. She went to hold Keith immediately, and he held her in return."Thank goddess, you are all alright," she said, and he rubbed her back gently. Ethan held on to Meadow's hands, still speechless by what he had seen Nightshade do."Luna took care of business before I got there," Keith confessed, and Elaine pulled away from him and looked at Meadow."Thank goddess you are trained. We have never experienced such a thing before. The woods are completely safe," Elaine said, and no one said anything.Ethan wondered why anyone would want to attack him in the woods while he was on vacation with his wife."You mean there hasn't been an attack out here before?" Ethan asked Keith, finally speaking, and Keith nodded. "Not that I know of, Alpha," Keith said, smiling at Meadow."Remin
Underwater 34 Hypnosis and Mental State
The following day, Ethan took Meadow to the clearing to please Nightshade. He did not want the event that had happened to spoil their vacation. What Meadow had told him about Echo had also lifted his spirit; he believed that with the right amount of effort, Echo would come out. While Nightshade moved about the place playing, he thought of the attack. He hoped it was a fluke because he did not want to deal with trouble in his present condition. It would be unfair for him to leave the mess to Joseph, Levi, his mother and Meadow to deal with. If that ever happened, he would be a useless alpha. He was hopeful that the wolf therapist would make heads way.Nightshade was happy that they returned to the clearing, and she had fun playing in the open while Ethan watched her. Ethan was still in awe of her beauty and skills and was proud that she was his.Echo stirred a couple of times, but nothing like he did the previous day. He just assured Ethan that he was there.Camila Richardson final
Underwater 35 Tête-à-tête
Three days passed after the attack, and still, Joseph, Adam and Brian were yet to make heads way. It was as if it had never happened. They wondered why they could not trace where the wolves came from and were not ready to confront Malcolm about the attack. It was a dead end.Joseph had avoided Ashley since that night, and it made her nervous. He could not shake off the feeling that Ashley was up to no good. He wondered why she would want to be luna badly. Being Alpha and Luna was tedious. He would prefer a quiet life where he could spend time with his wife and children. A life where he could travel and do as he liked, instead of being saddled with pack matters like he was now. Joseph could not understand why Ashley would want to be luna badly. He sat in his office looking at his documents on Cynthia when Levi strolled in without an invite.Joseph found it a bit offensive but respected his mother enough not to say anything. He put Cynthia's file down and looked at his stepfather, who
Underwater 36 Hypothesis
Ethan was still in shock when doctor Camila left their cabin. He couldn't go through with his session. What the doctor had told him about Meadow's condition was baffling. To think nothing was wrong with her and some wicked bastard somewhere had decided to render her useless for goddess-knows-what was baffling. He wondered what Meadow might have stumbled on when she was young that would warrant that kind of treatment. The bastard was patient enough to return after she had gotten her wolf to silence her for good. Whoever did it was living in the pack. The fact that her memory was buried meant she would not know who it was. The person did an awful job to his wife.Ethan remembered Meadow's voice. It was soft and gentle. However hysterical it sounded, it was beautiful. He wished he could hear her speak again. Maybe she would call his name so he could hear how it sounded coming from her lips. The news had enraged him and also made him sad.The fact that the culprit tried to render her b
Underwater 37 A Trip To The Hospital
The following day, Camila left the cabin to head to town in the morning. She wanted to order a CT scan and blood work on Alpha Ethan. The plan was to get into town and book an appointment for Alpha Ethan so he would just come to town on the day of his appointment, have himself checked and return to the cabin. Camila was conscious that there might be an issue with the Alpha. Because if silver was in his spine, then the doctors that attended to him during and after the accident had deliberately left some piece lodged in to poison his system. She wondered what would be their gain unless someone had asked them to do so. If that was the case, then his accident wasn't a coincidence. The second scenario was worse because if there wasn't silver in his spine, someone or some people were finding ways to feed him the substance at home. Which meant his foes were closer than he thought. Either way, it showed that the Alpha had foes. She became worried, afraid that she had gotten herself mixed up
