good storm. It was
fun to play in the waves, diving and surfing them. If there was a
strong storm, the boats would be gone, and they would be free to
swim.
    With a flurry of excitement, the men pushed
their way to the surface, Xander and Des smiled and followed, but
swam further toward where they would be meeting the men who were
coming home. When they surfaced, both men laughed at the storm
surging around them.
    “Wow, hurricane?” Des said and looked at the
large waves.
    “Yep, first of the year, let’s go,” Xander
said and dove back under the water.
    They swam together a few more miles to see
how far the storm reached—it was a large one. Xander looked up and
stared at the clouds, the rain pelted them as they surfaced
again.
    “Two storms combined and this is gonna be a
big one, I hope the humans are tracking this, it looks like it is
going to hit Florida,” Xander murmured.
    Over the decades, they studied the weather
patterns and could tell when a storm was going to be bad or not. This one was to be a huge ass one by the looks of it. Xander
turned to look at Des and frowned. “Behind you,” he yelled and then
jumped as a large wave crashed around them. Xander saw the edge of
the boat right when he yelled. Hell, Des was right in the path
of the boat.
    Xander grabbed his mate and they rode the
wave as it crested. They saw two women being tossed around on the
deck but could do nothing to stop it. Slowly, they sunk back down
so they were level with the base of the boat, and Des looked at
him.
    “Shit, that was close,” Des said.
    “Did you get a look at those women? I bet
they were hurt,” Xander said and looked up. Something was pulling
him to find out about the women— it was weird .
    “Let’s wait and see where the hell they are
going,” Des said and then pushed himself back. “We don’t want to
reveal ourselves unless they really are in trouble. How would we
explain us being in the middle of the ocean?”
    “Fine,” Xander said and followed his
mate.
    “Look at these waves, they are going to have
problems, we will watch them closely,” Des said.

    “Fuck,” Alex yelled when Gabby got near her.
“Sam is hurt, I am hurt, we are going to have a big frickin’ issue
if this storm gets worse.”
    “We need to get you inside and talk,” Gabby
yelled which made Alex tense. Her friend wasn’t telling something
her.
    “My right arm is out, dislocated,” Alex
grimaced and then grabbed Sam with her left hand and tried to
stand. The slippery deck cause her to hit the edge of the railing
again and she grimaced. Gabby stood using her two hands to pull her
sister across the slick deck.
    Damn this sucked , Alex thought, as she
looked around, they had barely left on their journey, and they were
going to have to go back. She thought about dealing with her father
and she wanted to scream in frustration— it totally
sucked .
    None of the girls saw the wave behind them
that was headed straight for them. The wall was about fifteen feet
high. When Alex looked over her shoulder and saw it, she screamed
for Sam and Gabby to grab something to hold onto.

    “Fuck, look at that!” Des said as Xander
looked and saw the wave. He closed his eyes and called for his men
to come right away. As the leader, he was the only one that had the
power to talk to everyone. Mates could talk to each other only
after they formed their tri-mate bond.
    Xander heard the men in his head responding,
he only hoped it would not be too late. “Which way?”
    “This side!” Des said.
    They swam as fast as they could to reach the
side of the boat. The wave hit and both men saw the three women
flying through the air on the crest of the wave—it had knocked them
off the deck.
    “Shit,” Xander yelled and dove underwater
watching for where they would land as he saw the first splash.
    When the woman hit the water a vibration
stuck him right in the chest, what the hell ? he
thought— it was just like when he and Des discovered
