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
Underwater 58 Name Your Price
"Luna Meadow, may I speak with you for a moment, please," Doctor Rosenberg said to Meadow in Amber's hospital room, sitting beside Victoria and watching over the Luna, and she nodded."Yes, you can," she linked him, knowing it would be okay for him to know of her progress since he had proven his loyalty to the McClouds.Dr Rosenberg was so surprised that it seemed his eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. He knew then that Camila had made some progress with their young Luna."It's still a secret no one knows, but I know I can trust you," She linked him, and the doctor composed himself immediately."I will like you to view some documents in my office, Luna. I am sure you can write whatever you want to tell me. Unfortunately, what I need to show you is highly confidential, so your friend would not be permitted," He said quickly. Victoria smiled at Meadow and the doctor to let them know it was okay."I will watch over Luna. You can go do Luna stuff," Victoria said jovially to Meado
Underwater 59 What She Saw And Why
"May I speak freely, Alpha," She requested Ethan's permission, and he nodded."I will not take offence. Yes, you may," Ethan replied assuringly, and she swallowed, took a deep breath and exhaled before she could continue."There are certain things money can't buy, Alpha, and love and companionship are some of those things. You can pay people to stay with you, but they will never be companions like people that choose to be with you. I have been silent for many years now; not because I wanted to but because I was in a fight I could not win. I am a nobody; I am sure you know that by now, so I could be easily trampled on. Levi was all I had. I loved him with all my heart. There was nothing he would ask of me that I wouldn't have done for him. My love ran that deep.He was supposed to be my happy ending, but then Alpha Cain died, and he started spending time with his grieving widow and her sons. People warned me that she would entice him with money and power. She had it all to give, bu
