Underwater 17 The Treaty Debate
Ethan was getting pretty impatient about Malcolm. The back and forth on the terms and conditions of the treaty took too long, and Joseph began to worry that it might go differently than he had hoped. Malcolm was determined to take advantage of the situation. He knew that the fact that the McClouds were in Ceenas putting up with his bullshit meant they were desperate. Even though Ethan did not say a word and Joseph did most of the talking about how beneficial the treaty would be to Ceenas, Malcolm could not help but notice the weakness. Ethan had a disability, and Joseph seemed not to have too much of an Alpha in him. Realising these bits of information made Malcolm decide to throw in the bomb. "I have heard everything you said, Alpha Joseph, and I must say, your explanation is impressive. You would have thrived as a sales executive in a firm because you are convincing," Malcolm said, and Ethan saw it as an insult but kept it to himself. "It isn't hard to see what is really going o
Underwater 18 Home Again.
Meadow's mood changed after the discussion with Amber in the garden. She should be happy that she would be Luna eventually and that Amber had decided to give her a chance, but the news about Amber's sickness had crushed whatever joy she might have had from the entire experience. She wondered what was happening with Amber, but she dared not ask. She knew better not to push it.So while she thought of helping Ethan start his physiotherapy, she also thought of finding a way to make Amber open up more than she had already, in case there was hope to help fix her situation.Soon it was time for dinner, and Meadow went to the dining room. Amber was her usual stoic self, not smiling or relating with anyone. Ashley was quiet, and Levi minded his business. They were back to their usual selves.Meadow bowed to greet everyone before sitting down."Next time, just sign the greetings, Rashel would translate. That's what your husband is paying her for. No more bowing," Amber said, and Meadow signed
Underwater 19 A Day In
Ethan pulled Meadow close and kissed her neck. The goosebumps on her skin showed her approval, and he touched her thigh. "Did you miss me much?" He asked, breathing into her ears, and she squeezed his arm for dear life. She hoped he would go all the way now and wondered why he was holding back. "Ethan," Amber linked her son again, spoiling the mood, and he broke away from his wife, leaving her breathing heavy. She looked ravishing with her messy hair and blush. "What is it?" He snapped at Amber through the mind link. He did not want the interruption. He had anticipated getting back to Meadow for five days and did not need his mother linking him while he was trying to get intimate with his wife. She would just kill the mood. Meadow's eyes showed she was ready, and he was eager. "I need some peace and quiet. I will see you after breakfast," he linked Amber and closed the mind link before Amber could respond. He looked at Meadow and smiled at her. "We need to shower. I will ask Bea
Underwater 20 Mother and Son
Meadow was excited about the progress they had made. After waiting an hour, Ethan made love to her again, and they showered. They planned to spend time by the lake, but Ethan knew he would have to see Amber first.He secretly linked the staff to prepare a picnic for both of them by the lake and take Meadow there when it was set. He wanted her to have fun and be happy and planned on making every moment count with her to the best of his ability."I have to check on my mother," Ethan told Meadow, and she smiled at him."It's okay. I can wait," She signed, and he smiled."I won't keep you waiting, I promise. You can go to the lake before me. I will meet you there," he said, wheeling himself out of the room, fully satiated and happy with his life.Ethan's smile disappeared in his typical fashion once he stepped out, but the staff that greeted him in the hallway did not miss the light in his eyes. They were part of the rose gatherers, so they knew the considerable step their Alpha had taken
Underwater 21 Getting To Know you
Ethan got to the lake, and Meadow was pleased to see him. She was already missing him. The thought of the things they did together flooded her mind, and she felt butterflies. Who would have thought she would end up with the alpha of their pack? Crippled or not, Ethan was a great catch, and she was glad they were making it work."I hope I didn't keep you waiting." He said, and she shook her head and smiled. The rays of the sun kissed her hair, and the breeze blew it gently. She looked beautiful in his eyes, and as her rose scent brushed through him, he felt his wolf stir, a reaction he had now realised was caused by his wife. Meadow smiled at him, and his heart was warm. He admired her in the beige sundress she was wearing. It was short, and it showed her lovely legs. Ethan was looking at Meadow as if he was seeing her for the first time. He allowed his heart to feel and his eyes to see the beauty that is his wife.He wheeled himself to where she was, and she bent to kiss his forehe
Underwater 22 Work In Progress
Meadow was overjoyed about her ring and could not stop staring at it. Ethan saw the joy in her eyes and knew it must have hurt that her wedding wasn't conventional.While they were in the van on their way home, Ethan touched her hands and rubbed them gently."I am sorry I didn't do this sooner," he said gently, looking at the beautiful woman who gave him a chance. Tears of joy streamed down her cheeks because she appreciated the gesture."It's okay," she signed, and he smiled.They returned to the mansion in the evening and showered so they would arrive on time for dinner. Although Ethan did not care about the times, Meadow did; she was determined never to offend Luna Amber again.She kept her wedding band and engagement ring on, and they moved to the dining room.Luna Amber was yet to be seated, and it was odd. Both she and Levi were usually the first at the table, but Ashley and Joseph were the only ones there."Where is mother?" Ethan asked Joseph."She wasn't feeling too well, but
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
