Chapter 19 Mating Call I entered Dr. Brooks' room, finding her serene and peacefully asleep. Neptune's gentle voice provided a reassuring update, "Her vital signs are stable, and she's adapting well to the fusion process." As I held her hand, Naki joined us, sitting beside me with a warm smile. "She had wanted to undergo this transformation three years ago, but fear of something going wrong and her patients suffering because of it held her back. Now, here she is, taking the leap." Naki's expression turned reflective. "I had no idea she was alone, with no family beyond our community. If I had known, I would have voted differently." I nodded in solemn agreement, "Me too. We would have supported her unconditionally, no matter the risks." But I saw the vision too, they almost killed her to get the information from her. She was willing to die to keep our secret. we had to put distance between us to keep her safe. My mind wandered back to the vision I had shared with Niklaus - the one
Chapter 20 The AlarmNeptune's alarm pierced the air, and we all froze, our hearts racing in unison. "Two helicopters approaching the islands," she announced, her voice firm and urgent. We sprang into action, hurrying to the surface to assume our cover roles - farming, fishing, and other innocuous activities. Dr. Brooks remained hidden below, safe from prying eyes.As we emerged into the bright sunlight, Sam's keen eyes scanned the horizon. "They're solid black, but they don't bear military markings," he reported, his brow furrowed in concern.Niklaus turned to him, his voice low and cautious. "Do you think they'll land?" "Neptune," I said, my mind racing with possibilities, "can you tap into their communication channels without being detected?" I asked, my eyes locked on Niklaus, seeking reassurance."Intercepting chatter now," Neptune replied, her interface springing to life. Soon, male voices filled the air, their conversation casual and unsuspecting."Looks like a normal island to
Chapter 21 Forgotten Feedings Graduation day had finally arrived, we all stood watching and cheering as They walked up the steps, Kie stood to my right and Niklaus to my left. I beamed with pride as my three babies stood on stage, in their caps and gowns, their faces radiant with smiles. As each of them received their diplomas, I felt my heart swell with joy and accomplishment.Bella, my little scholar, would continue her educational journey, inspired by Dr. Brooks to become a doctor herself. Karma, my adventurous one, had discovered a passion for archeology and would embark on travels to uncover the secrets of the past. Matt, my budding entrepreneur, had excelled in business and would lead Niklaus's team, helping to manage our resort hotels on our neighboring island.As the ceremony concluded, the graduates tossed their caps into the air, and we all erupted into cheers and applause, celebrating their achievements and the bright futures ahead. Tears of happiness pricked at the corne
Chapter 22 My Unsuspected Mate"I just feel like something is always missing," Lacy confessed, her voice trembling. "I love Lucas with all my heart, and he's told me that I'm his mate. I'm so deeply in love with him," she sobbed, her body shaking with emotion."Can we talk?" she asked, looking up at me with pleading eyes."Of course, we can," I replied, smiling softly.But Lacy's expression turned serious. "No, I mean really talk," she emphasized, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, sensing that she was struggling to share something important. I waited patiently, letting her take the lead. "What is your sexual orientation? I mean I know you're a Siren but .."her voice trailed off but I think I know where she's going with this. "I am Pansexual Sapiophile." I didn't know if she even knew what this meant, so I started to explain when she stopped me. "I am glad to hear this, I was worried" as she climbed into my lap. My first instinct was to nurse her, I don't know why, but I ope
Chapter 23 The Hunt for SirensSam called a meeting, his expression grim as he revealed the intel he had gathered on the mysterious helicopters. "I've found an ad on the black web," he began, his voice low and serious. "They're offering a quarter of a million dollars for a live Siren specimen."I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the audacity of these individuals. Who did they think they were, trying to capture me or any of my kind?But Niklaus's reaction was far from amused. His face darkened with rage, his eyes blazing with a fierce protectiveness. "They dare to think they can capture My Queen?" he growled, his voice menacing, displaying full fangs.I placed a calming hand on his arm, trying to soothe his anger. "We won't let them, Niklaus. They can't get through our shields, they don't know who they are dealing with!"But Niklaus's expression remained unyielding, his jaw clenched in determination. "We need to take action, my Love. We can't let them continue to hunt for you."
Chapter 24 Daddy's HomeThree days passed, and our father remained in a coma, his vitals were stable and his physical wounds healed. David's timely intervention had saved him from the brink of death, but the emotional toll of his ordeal remained a mystery.Dr. Brooks' words were laced with a mix of empathy and concern. "We can heal their bodies, but we can't force them to want to live." The truth was, we had no idea how long he had endured the torture and experimentation.I asked, desperation creeping into my voice, "Can he hear us?"Dr. Brooks suggested, "Try mindlinking with him. Maybe he'll respond."I focused my thoughts, reaching out to him. Hi there, can you hear me? What's your name? The silence was deafening.I tried again, pouring my emotions into the connection. We rescued you, you're safe now. No one will hurt you here. His vitals flickered, and Dr. Brooks' eyes widened."I think he heard you!" she exclaimed, a glimmer of hope in her voice.I held my breath, waiting for any
Chapter 25 He's AwakeHis gaze was fixed on Lucas, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Lucas?" he whispered, his voice trembling.Lucas reached for his hand, nodding affirmatively, but our father pulled him into a long, emotional hug. We sat and talked for what seemed like hours, answering his countless questions.But then, he fell silent as Niklaus brought in our twins, Abigail and Oliver. I introduced them to him, "This is Grandpa-pa..." And then it hit me – we still didn't know his name!He held out his arms for the twins, a warm smile spreading across his face. "I'm Grandpa-pa Luke," he said, his eyes shining with joy."They're beautiful, Rea!" he exclaimed, his gaze taking in every detail of the twins.Just then, Bella walked in, concern etched on her face. "Mama, is it okay now?"I smiled, introducing her to our father. "Daddy, this is my oldest, Bella."His eyes never left hers, his face filled with wonder. "She's a goddess, Rea!" he declared, his voice full of awe.I smiled proudl
Chapter 26 My Dad The Royal GuardHis eyes sparkled with a knowing glint, and he whispered, "I've been waiting for you, Rea. I've been waiting for you to bring me home."I pulled back, stunned, as a million questions raced through my mind. What did he mean? How did he know? And what secrets had he been keeping all these years?"I'm finally home!" he exclaimed, tears flooding his face as I held him tight.When he finally calmed down enough to speak again, he began to explain, his voice laced with a mix of sadness and wonder. "I was her Royal Guard when she submerged Atlantis. We were still fighting the war, and its shields wouldn't let us back in. We searched for Atlantis for decades, but eventually gave up, thinking she had taken it back to our world."He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "Then I met your mom, and she became pregnant with you. We already had Lucas, but then I was taken."His voice trailed off, and I knew he was thinking about the years he had lost. I
