Underwater 50 Processing It All
Joseph hung about the hospital for a few hours. He spent those hours pacing about and trying to find the best way to have all the pack alphas and betas tested so they could find a compatible donor for Amber. He knew he would not rest if he failed, so he thought of everything meticulously. Soon he knew it was time to go home, so he and Adam returned. At the same time, he instructed Brian to remain for security purposes.Joseph was mad about what Ashley did and why she tricked him. He honestly wondered how she planned to succeed. He believed her, and she put up a good act. He scolded himself for not being vigilant enough to catch her in a lie. He wondered how she might have gotten away with it. He planned to ask her why when she woke up. One thing was certain; he would kick her out and never look back. The pregnancy was the only reason his mother chose to defy him and house her in the mansion. The truth about the pregnancy had been exposed now, so she didn't need to stick around.
Underwater 51 The Status Quo
Ethan entered the house feeling like a stranger. Knowing that everything had been taken on the surface made the place feel alien to him. The workers were outside and welcomed them in. Just when he wheeled in, Joseph arrived, and Ethan was glad to see his brother. Joseph looked calmer than he sounded on the phone, and Ethan was proud of him because he knew he was masking his emotions. Meadow used sign language to instruct Rashel to settle Camila and Brad in their wings. With Amber in the hospital, she knew Luna's duties fell on her even though the pack no longer belonged to them.Rashel told Beatrix of Meadow's instructions, and they sprang to action. Keith took Elaine to his old room in Ethan's wing. They were all nervous being there because they knew the people that attacked the pack would be back, and they were at the centre of attention."How is she?" Ethan asked Joseph about their mother while they moved toward Ethan's wing."She is in a coma. Levi is with her," Joseph said, an
Underwater 52 Cynthia and Sebastien
Cynthia paced about the hotel room where Sebastien had taken her to. It was the following day after the attack.He asked her to wait while he met up with the Alpha. She was nervous waiting, but she had no choice. Cynthia was worried because their victory was too easy. She doubted the McClouds were down. She had told Sebatien that they should take over the pack immediately to control what was happening, but Sebastien had told her it was beyond him and they could only do as the Alpha had instructed.Cynthia did not like the way the operation had gone. She wondered why the Alpha would instruct them expressly not to kill the McClouds but only incapacitate them. Why did he want them alive, and what did he want with them? It sounded more like a personal vendetta than a takeover. She needed to be wise.She finally sat down, still feeling nervous. She was worried about so many things.After Sebastien had threatened her while she was still spying on the McClouds and feeding him information, sh
Underwater 53 Being Thorough
Ethan and Meadow spent the entire day in the bedroom. No one needed to know of the surgery. Although Rashel knew, Elaine took it upon herself to keep an eye on her without letting Rashel know. Keith had refused to give her back her phone, and she had somehow adjusted to not having a phone for now. Ethan told Meadow all Joseph had told them about his mother, and her heart reached out to Amber. Meadow knew the B-negative blood group was rare, and they might have to look outside the pack to find a donor. The possibility of success was slim because of the rarity of the blood type and their situation. She did not want Ethan to feel discouraged, so she planned to task some people secretly to search for a live donor. The day was long for Ethan. Although his back was healing fast, it felt a bit sluggish. He wanted to do so many things. He wanted to see his mother and start his secret physiotherapy. He was also worried about the people that placed the shard in his spine and Sebastien.
Underwater 54 Severance
Cynthia woke up with a slap. She was in shock. She woke up confused by the pain on her face. Her vision was blurred, but then she saw Sebastien fuming angrily. She looked around, noticed the soft morning sunlight partially lighting the room, and looked at Sebastien, confused."Why?" She asked him, on the verge of tears."You do not know who you are fucking with, Cynthia," He said and began to pace about the room." Why can't you be loyal? Why can't you be faithful?" he asked her, his eyes red and filled with tears."You have hurt me so many times, Cynthia. Ethan dodged a bullet when you left him," He said, still pacing the room."You cheated on me twice, then tried to fuck my brother for power. I still forgave you and remained with you. I do not understand why, but I have been a fool for you, Cynthia," He said, running his fingers through his hair."You turned me into a monster. I have never hit a woman in my life. It started with you. If I do not hit you, you won't behave. Now even h
Underwater 55 At The Hospital.
After breakfast, Ethan and Meadow got ready to visit the hospital. Victoria joined them, and they left in a van. Ethan hoped he would soon ride with his wife in a car with him behind the steering wheel. He knew that option was open to him even though his legs weren't working, but he would prefer to drive a car where he could use his legs. The van would have to do for now.Victoria sat quietly in the van with Meadow. There was nothing to be happy about; their pack had been taken over by a packless Alpha, and it was a matter of time before they found out what the new owners had in store for them. She was with Meadow to offer moral support because she knew her friend would need it. The change would affect Meadow most because of her condition, and Victoria feared the situation might overcome her friend.Meadow had not shared her progress with Victoria, and she wasn't planning to do so for now, so the sign language will have to do. It wasn't that Meadow did not trust Victoria, but the
Underwater 56 Cynthia's Orders
Levi and Joseph arrived at the mansion and saw a multitude of warriors, some in wolf form and others in human form. They looked aggressive. Levi was surprised, but Joseph wasn't. Joseph alighted the car at the gate along with Levi and walked into the compound.There were growls and snarls, and as the two of them approached, they realised that the intruders had rounded up all the workers in the house outside on their knees with silver bracelets. It was clear that they wouldn't be taking chances. Even the warriors Ethan returned with were also on their knees.Surrendering was the five warriors' best option because there was no way they could take the multitude that Cynthia came with. Some of which were their old colleagues. Cynthia watched Joseph and Levi approach, and her wolf Medley was a bit intimidated, but she masked it."And so you grace us with your presence, Alpha. I thought the cripple would be joining you," she said, referring to Ethan, and Joseph growled at her but then c
Underwater 57 A Sacrifice Farewell.
Levi remained on his knees on the ground. Everything Joseph said to him replayed in his mind, and he was angry. "You better follow your Luna, Levi," Ethan said to him, disgusted by him, and Levi looked at both Ethan and Joseph."I carried you two when you were born. I raised you two with Cain and was there to fill that void when he was no more. I protected the three of you and never let you miss the absence of a father, and Amber missed the absence of her mate. I took care of everything Cain left you and handed it over when the time came. Never did I ask for payment. I did it all out of love. I did it because Cain was the brother I never had. I gave up on my life to fill his shoes, and this is how you repay me.Had Cynthia offered any of your friends the Alpha position, would you have thought so low of them? Had she offered either of you the position, would you have thought so lowly of each other? This Alpha, whoever he may be, understands how you think, so he picked the easy target
