Underwater 25 Dr Camila
Meadow was nervous about seeing a therapist. The last one she saw as a teenager after she got her wolf caused a rift between her and her parents. She remembered the event like it was yesterday, how she and her mother had returned home in silence. That was the last time her mother ever tried to have a meaningful conversation with her. After that visit, things got worse in the house, and her mother would talk down on her and tell her how she was useless and that she would never amount to anything. Her mother would often wish she never had her out of anger. It got worse when she turned eighteen when wolves started finding their mates either through fate or choice. Her mother would attend a wedding and come home sad, weeping, claiming she would never have that kind of joy in her life. She would often say she feels she does not have a child. It was all traumatic for Meadow. She remembered it started after her last visit to the speech therapist at sixteen.Looking at Ethan, she wanted to
Underwater 26 An Advice
The day for the trip to the cabin had finally come. Meadow was the first to wake up. She was excited about going back to the cabin. She wasn't thrilled about the pictures of his ex being there, and she hoped he would have the decency to pull them down soon. She was suddenly feeling protective and possessive of Ethan without even knowing it. The noise Meadow made while trying to figure out what to wear woke Ethan up. She had no clue he was awake and watching her. Ethan admired her while she walked in her sexy white lace underwear, trying to figure out what to wear. She had decided to dress up in the room, not the closet, so he quietly fed his eyes. He also noticed that she was very confident when she believed no one was watching. It was cute. He realised the years of bullying and bad talking had somehow made her timid and killed her self-esteem, but the Meadow he saw confidently moving about and trying to see what best to wear was the real Meadow. The timid Meadow was her pretend f
Underwater 27 Love and Lies
Ashely smiled, approaching Cynthia. She had heard that Cynthia was in town but did not know she would have the heart to come to the mansion. She could not believe her eyes. Cynthia was her role model at the academy, and Ashley wanted to be her. She was cool and would have been Luna had Ethan not lost his legs. Seeing her now warmed Ashley's heart, and she rushed to hug Cynthia.Cynthia was stiff at first but then relaxed and wrapped her arms around Ashely. Cynthia wasn't good with human contact but composed herself and ignored the proximity. Soon Ashely broke away with a smile on her face."How have you been?" She asked, and Cynthia nodded. Ashley noticed she wasn't happy, so she invited her for a coffee. Cynthia was reluctant at first but soon obliged. A driver came to take them to the place.Entering the car, Cynthia remembered when that was her life. Ethan doted on her. He gave her everything she wanted. Had he not lost his legs, she would have remained with him, but being sadd
Underwater 28 The Whisper Of Hope
Ethan and Meadow made out while she still sat on his lap. Wanting to go a bit further and feeling impatient about it, Meadow transferred herself to the beautiful king-size bed without Ethan asking, and the lavender scent of the sheets filled her senses. He smiled at her and managed to transfer himself onto the bed swiftly. "I was worried you wouldn't like it," He confessed, and she sat up and shook her head with a big smile. "I love it," She signed, and he laughed. Taking the initiative, Meadow grabbed onto Ethan and kissed him. The gesture surprised him, and he was glad she was getting bolder. He returned the kiss passionately, and she went on top of him. She knew he was hard while she was sitting on his lap. Breaking the kiss, she unbuttoned her dress, and he paid attention. She kept her eyes on him, and he smiled at her. She opened the dress, exposing her bra, and he felt her breast with his hand. Squeezing them gently, her mouth opened, a moan would have escaped if she had
Underwater 29 As Things Are
The couple finally got out of bed in the evening when Keith and Elaine decided to visit them. Keith had teased Ethan through the mind link, and Ethan knew that Keith would tease him again. He did not mind it; he was proud of how things went between him and Meadow.Ethan touched his thigh again, and the sensation was there. He kept it to himself and looked at Meadow, who was busy trying to dress up. She was oblivious that he was staring at her, making her more beautiful in his eyes. He admired her innocence and her honesty. She was a gem in his eyes, and he thanked the goddess for her.Had he known she would bring him so much bliss and good luck, he would have been at that altar on the wedding day. Remembering how the wedding might have gone for her made him feel bad. He imagined how she would have walked down the aisle to the altar alone with no groom in sight. It was a huge embarrassment and a sign of rejection.The gossip and the mockery that Meadow would have had to endure becaus
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
