Underwater 07 Truth And Warmth
"Hello," Ethan said on the phone, and Joseph sighed on his end. "Alpha," he said to his brother. "Yes," Ethan replied, sounding a bit short. "Where are you? Mother has been going crazy," Joseph asked. He did sound like he did not want to call, but the pressure was so much that he couldn't help it. "Tell her to mind her business and find another thing to do," Ethan said calmly, and Joseph sighed. "Honestly, I do not support what she is planning on doing. Did you try to reason with her?" Joseph asked out of concern. "I did, and she refused, claiming she owned the girl as if she was an object. She is mute, Joseph, that is all. There is nothing wrong with her. I cannot let mother ruin a life to please herself. She is untouched, and mother wants to put her through artificial insemination," he told his brother, and Joseph could understand Ethan's rage. "She knew what she was getting into, Ethan. Her parents willingly..." Joseph said, and Ethan cut him. "She didn't, Joseph. I believe
Underwater 08 Almost Joy
Ethan and Meadow spent a while in the living room before the van that would transport them back to the Mansion arrived. Ethan saw Meadow as an enigma, but he wasn't eager to understand her. He feared the danger of getting emotionally attached and getting hurt. She was a fine woman. He would not dispute that, mute or not, she was very peaceful too. Ethan hoped he wouldn't be long because he was nervous about leaving her in the Mansion in the care of his brother's beta. He would have taken her with him, but they were yet to establish a relationship with the Ceenas Pack, so it would be wrong for him to take her along in case it gets a bit dangerous. The moment the van arrived, Meadow got up to get her things. "Where are you going?" Ethan asked her, and she looked at him. "To get my bags. They are packed," She signed, and he shook his head. "The delta would bring it unless you have something to do upstairs," he said, not wanting her to go up their stairs. She smiled at him and thank
Underwater 09 Not Really Yours
Meadow and Ethan returned to their bedroom. She was still pissed at how Amber referred to her, but she wondered if Ethan was telling the truth about trying with her. She did not know how to feel about the situation, especially if the man would only be doing so out of pity. She would rather be his live-in nanny than for him to flaunt her as his wife out of charity. Meadow watched Ethan wheel himself about the room and wondered what was going on in his mind. How did he plan on making his mother believe him? He was not going to touch her, nor was he planning on claiming and marking her. It would buy them time, but soon she knew she would have to submit herself to Luna Amber for the insemination. She made up her mind to condition her mind and accepted the inevitable. Ethan wheeled himself out of the room, and she went to the bathroom to freshen up. Ethan returned to the room and noticed she was in the bathroom. So he waited for her to come out. Meadow wasn't expecting him to be in, so
Underwater 10 A Little Confidence
"Send her to my wing," Ethan linked the steward and wheeled back to his room. Entering the room. Meadow had the television on. She quickly switched it off and stood up. Ethan could see she was nervous, and it had nothing to do with the television. The heated discussion during breakfast was part of it. He stared at her a bit. Unable to hold his gaze, she looked away quickly, so he won't be offended. Meadow's people skills were poor, and that was because she never really socialised, so this was unchartered grounds for her. "Are you feeling nervous?" Ethan asked her, and she nodded quickly. There was no point hiding it. He could see it already. "Why?" he asked her, and she looked at him. "You argued with everyone because of me. I really don't mind what Ashely said," she signed, and he was a bit angry at her for thinking it was okay to be disrespected. He was mad at her parents for not helping her build her self-worth and self-esteem. So what, she was mute? Meadow was a gorgeous woma
Underwater 11 Curiously Pleasing
After the awkward conversation between Meadow and Ethan, she left him and went to the bathroom. She went to shower to get ready for dinner. She dreaded eating at the table with the family, but she was grateful that Ethan had her back. He had proven that she had nothing to worry about. Her only fear now was what Amber would do to her while Ethan was away. She dreaded it. Victoria's presence might make it bearable, but it wouldn't stop the woman from being unnecessarily wicked. She got into the shower and let the water beat her skin. While they were at the Lake, Ethan had bought a phone for Meadow so she could call him while he was away. He had asked Beatrix to hide it in the nightstand's drawer. He wanted it to be a surprise. She will see the phone when she tries to get his tablet. He knew she would be happy about it. Ethan remembered how Meadow felt when she borrowed his phone and was mad at his mother for treating the woman as a prisoner. A lot would have to change when he retur
Underwater 12 I Won't Be Long
They arrived at the dining room, and Ethan found that Victoria wasn't allowed to sit. She was standing while the rest of the family members ate. Joseph wasn't there, Leaving Amber, Levi and Ashley.Meadow looked at Victoria apologetically, but Victoria did not take offence. Everyone knew that Luna Amber mistrusted and hated everyone since her husband died; it was expected behaviour from the cruel Luna.Ethan did not find the situation funny."What is the meaning of this?" he asked, wheeling himself to the table. He used his hands to help pull out a seat for Meadow. Amber did not miss the gesture even though Meadow's hands were on the chair, pulling it along with him."Please sit," Ethan ordered Victoria, and she pulled a seat next to Meadow's and sat down."What is the meaning of this, Ethan? This is family time," Amber complained."Victoria is my guest, and I invited her for dinner," he said, shutting Amber up, and Amber looked at Meadow. She did not trust the girl at all. She won
Underwater 13 Tea In The Garden
Meadow walked into the house feeling alone. She knew she would miss Ethan. He was her only companion and protector in the mansion; with him away, she was at the mercy of Amber, and she dreaded it. Amber walked past her, and so did Ashley. Neither of them spoke to her, and she was glad. She did not know how long Ethan would be gone but hoped it would be short. He had asked Victoria to come so she would not feel his absence. She knew she would. "Meadow, join me in the garden for tea; you can come with your friend to translate," She heard Amber's voice, and her stomach churned. Ethan had just left. Why can't Luna Amber leave her alone and ignore her? She had done nothing wrong, but deep down, she knew the tea would not end well. She walked to her wing to inform Victoria of the tea invitation. Meadow stood in front of Victoria's door and knocked. Victoria answered immediately. She was happy it was her friend. "Honestly, this family gives me the creeps," Victoria said, ushering Meado
Underwater 14 On Route To Ceenas
Ethan and Joseph sat quietly at the back of the van, taking them to Ceenas. It was awkward because this was the first time they would travel together since the accident. They also had some friction because they argued over Meadow and Ashley. Ethan remained silent, reminiscing about his adventurous night with Meadow. He wanted it to be real because she was an amazing woman, but deep down, he still believed she wouldn't have picked him in a crowd, which meant a lot to him. He did not want to be loved out of pity and necessity. He balled his fist a bit and hoped he was wrong. "Hey," Joseph told his brother, and Ethan looked at him with a blank expression on his face. "I want to apologise for my behaviour yesterday morning. I shouldn't have snapped at you," Joseph said, and Ethan nodded. "I am not mad; I just did not like the level of disregard and disrespect towards Meadow," Ethan said, and Joseph sighed. "I thought about it, and I know what I said was fucked up. I shouldn't have c
