Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 50 The Fight
Caspian“I don’t like this.” I grumble, seated at a high bar next to Chase.“They’ll be fine.” My Beta’s instinct is to balance my aggression, to be the calm voice of reason when my temper flares, so I know his words are well intentioned. But I also know they’re completely false. He doesn’t like this anymore than I do.Viviane and Kiera used every tool in their arsenals to convince us to let them have a girls night out tonight, spending the better part of the week wearing us down until we finally agreed. Of course their strategies were very different.While Viviane went on a charm offensive, batting her eyelashes and pleading so sweetly I couldn’t say no, Kiera chose something more akin to a rein of terror. The mischievous feline has proven no more amenable to Chase’s advances over the last three days than before, though he’s clearly enjoying the hunt. Still, I know it irks him not to have a formal claim on her when she’s going to be out among other males.The girls went to a restaura
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 51 You'll Be Winning Soon
The world is very fuzzy.I can hear people talking around me. I even think someone might be crying, but I can’t decipher one sound from the next.My vision is blurred and hazy, but I can see a massive pair of paws on the ground in front of me. When I try to follow the path of the creature’s muscular legs upwards, I find only a velvety grey expanse of a wolf’s torso.He’s standing over me. I know without question that it’s Chase, though I don’t understand how. My nose is clogged with blood, so I can’t smell a thing. Still, some other sense of knowing tells me my mate is guarding me from the women who tried to hurt my friend, and even though pain is wracking every inch of my body, I feel completely safe.As the moments drag past, pain turns to agony and a feeble moan escapes me. A cold nose nudges my cheek, and suddenly I realize I must have closed my eyes. I see only darkness as a large, warm tongue laps at my forehead, and even when I hear my mate whine with so much concern my heart a
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha Chapter 52- Trouble
KieraWhen I wake my entire body is surrounded by pillows, my every curve cushioned so thoroughly I feel like I’m about to burst into flames. The pillows cradling me are so warm: smothering me with scorching heat even though I want to snuggle closer to their entrancing scent. I can’t remember ever being so comfortable. The pillows are even caressing me, stroking my spine and brushing through my hair.Wait a minute. I realize, coming fully awake. Pillows don’t move. And pillows don’t have internal heat sources.Blinking my eyes open, I realize it’s not pillows surrounding me, but a very large, very attractive wolf.Relief spreads across Chase’s features the moment he realizes I’m conscious, and a tender smile stretches across his face. “Welcome back, trouble.”Squirming against his hard muscles, I announce, “you’re too hot.”His grin widens, “Why thank you.”“That’s not what I meant.” I pout, giving up my doomed efforts to escape him. “What are you doing here?”“I’m taking care of you
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha Chapter 53 - Caught
Viviane“I look ridiculous.” I snort, staring at my reflection in the mirror. “You look unrecognizable.” Kiera corrects me, “which is the point.” I’m wearing a wig and color contacts, as well as a heavy layer of bronzer over every inch of my skin and a pair of comically oversized sunglasses. Kiera is in an equally thorough disguise, and we’ve both donned the dullest clothes we can find in our closets. Things are more than a little different from the last time we visited the mermaid settlement. I’m now a veritable celebrity, and Kiera isn’t far behind. The events at the sushi bar were front page news in Asterion, with Kiera being lauded as the kind of friend everyone needs, as well as the future Beta’s likely mate. So now we don’t only have to worry about ditching Chase as well as Caspian and my guards, but also making it to the outskirts of the city without being recognized.“You’re sure this is going to work?” I ask nervously.“Look, you said yourself that Caspian is going to be m
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 54 - Kidnap
VivianeTurning to face my fate head on, my heart sinks when I see the rough looking men striding towards me. Every man has a hard and haggard exterior which exudes menace, and I hate the idea of facing them alone.“Well, well, well.” The leader drawls, leering at me salaciously, “what do we have here? Aren’t you a pretty one?”“What do you want with me?” I ask them nervously.“What do we want?” He counters. “You were the one following us, not the other way around.”“I was just curious.” I lie, “I saw you taking those girls, I thought maybe something bad was happening, but I realize now I was wrong. I’ll leave you to go on your way.”I try to turn away, but a powerful hand clamps around my arm. “Oh no, it’s too late for that.” The man smirks, his nostrils flaring as he scents me. “You’re a clever one too, I see.” He chuckles, “Hiding your scent. Now it makes more sense. Only bottom-feeders go near the settlements. Is your little friend a mermaid in disguise too?”“No!” I half-shout, a
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 55 Slave Again
ChaseI can hear Kiera crying the moment I walk in the door. Leaving Caspian to begin making plans with his guards, I retreat to my rooms, where I find my mate sobbing face down on the bed.Kiera is still wearing the same ridiculous outfit from the day before, and as much as my heart hurts to see my mate in pain, I’m also furious that she risked her life this way. Striding across the room, I settle on the edge of the bed and rest my hand on the curve of her lower back. My splayed palm covers the breadth of her slender waist, and the feeling of her soft, warm body beneath my fingers is comforting after such a stressful ordeal.“Kiera, how could you?” I murmur.She sobs even harder, whimpering as I slip my hand beneath the hem of her top and stroke her silky skin. “You don’t have to make me feel worse!” She moans, “Viviane’s probably being tortured right now and it’s all my fault!”“Why did you go to the settlements?” I ask in resignation.“We didn’t know Caspian was looking into the t
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 56 - Bloodstone
I spent the first thirteen years of my life in the Bloodstone territory, yet I’ve never seen an inch of the free territory. I knew only the pearl farms and the river which swept us to freedom.I’ve imagined it a thousand different ways, always assuming the blood money they wrought from the flesh of mermaids afforded the pack lives of unimaginable luxury. I wasn’t wrong, but I certainly didn’t picture this. As the truck rumbles through the city, I remain glued to the back window, trying to memorize the streets, the landmarks and route on the off chance we actually manage to pull off an escape. Luckily the shifters don’t seem to believe we’re capable of even contemplating saving ourselves, because they don’t try to stop me.My memory is incredibly sharp and if I can focus on navigation, I might stand a chance. However it is difficult, because everywhere I look my eyes want to leap out of my head. The bloodstone capital seems to have been built on the side of an active volcano. Silver bu
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 57 - James Is Found Out
Caspian “Are you sure about this, Caspian?” My father asks. “James is family!” “Being family didn’t stop him from kidnapping my mate or betraying me in the pack games.” I remind him. “I don’t have proof yet, but I’m going to get it. If I’m right he’s the only one who might know where they’ve taken Viviane.” “I don’t understand, why would mermaid traffickers take her in the first place?” He inquires, “if she discovered what they were doing, why not just k- silence her?” He continues, clearly amending his words even as they leave his mouth. For a moment I consider lying, but I can’t help but think this has gone on long enough. The truth is that mermaids like my mate have been suffering in this city for a long time, and the only way things are going to change is if I change them. Taking a deep breath, I announce, “Because Viviane is a mermaid.” “What?” My father questions blankly, “What are you talking about.” As I explain everything

Three Months LaterViviane“Viv, are you ready?” Kiera asks, appearing in the doorway.I’m standing in front of a huge, floor length mirror, my wedding gown flowing around my body in graceful waves. It’s a delicate concoction of sea colored silk that ripples over my curves like water, and brings out the color of my turquoise eyes.I honestly can’t believe this day has finally come. I never thought I’d get married at all, and here I am preparing to walk down the aisle to join myself with the first Alpha in shifter history to rule two packs. After my rescue, Caspian tried to find another candidate to lead the Bloodstones, but none of the wolves in the pack were willing to do away with Damien’s mermaid program completely. Luckily for us, none of them were strong enough to challenge Caspian either, so he stayed in control by default.When we got home he finally sat down with his father and aired out all of the secrets and unspoken traumas of Caspian’s childhood, and his father willingly s
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 64 - Endgame
VivianeDamien’s body is so heavy on mine. His rough hands bruise my skin as his sneering face gazes down at me, and nausea writhes in my belly as I feel his hardness digging into my stomach. My mind is whirling, struggling to stay in the present as past horrors seek to drag me under, and simultaneously fighting the urge to leave my body and dissociate from the violation I’m about to suffer.In the distance Caspian’s roars and growls fill the air, the sound of his body slamming into the glass over and over again wrenching at my heartstrings terribly. I don’t want him to see this, I can’t bear the thought of him blaming himself for not saving me, and I know he will.Calling out to him through our mental link, I try to tell him to turn away, even though I know it’s useless. Don’t watch, Caspian. I beg, please, I don’t want you to see this.No! He thunders back, don’t give up, Viviane! Just hold on!It’s okay. I mentally sob, I’ll be okay. I’ve survived before and I’ll survive again, jus
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 63 - Trapped
3rd Person“What do we do?” Chase exclaimed, his gaze ping ponging back and forth between the images on the security screens. The Beta was beside himself, unable to help Caspian and distracted by his mate’s antics all at once.“I don’t know.” Marina fretted, her attention focused on Viviane and Caspian, divided by glass walls and completely at Damien’s mercy. Even as she watched them, she knew she couldn’t simply stand there and do nothing. “I’ll go help Kiera.” She suggested after a moment. The chances that she would be able to help her daughter were slim, but Chase could – assuming he was able to focus on doing so. “She’s not in imminent danger and the faster the other mermaids are freed, the better.”“Thank you,” Chase breathed, anxiously following her movements on the black and white monitors.Without another word, Marina careened out of the control room, dashing for the lower levels where the mermaids were trapped. Her heart pounded, blood rushing in her ears as she darted throug
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 61 - Auction Day
Viviane The day of the auction begins like any other, except instead of waking up and getting ready for school, I’m taken to a Bloodstone spa. If the circumstances were different, I might enjoy the pampering, but I know none of the treatments I’m being given are for my benefit. Instead they’re purely intended to make me as desirable as possible to the shifters at the auction. The servants do not speak as they bathe me, filling a huge ornate tub with perfumed water and rose petals, then adding soaps that froth and foam at the surface. I can see the women attending me are mermaids from the brands on their ankles, but they are not as beautiful as the other girls in the brothel. I wonder if this is yet another fate for my kind – if one is too dried up to produce pearls, but not lovely enough to fetch a high price as a pleasure slave. Instead they must help send the unlucky beauties to their terrible fates. I have to think this is the best deal a mermaid could hope for in Sangville, m
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 60 - Escape
CaspianChase and I are on the outskirts of Sangville when we sense we’re being followed.After killing mordred, a cold sort of determination took over me, an emotionless drive to finish the job no matter the cost. I knew if I let myself think about Viviane – about what might be happening to her this very moment – I would lose my ability to think about our situation objectively. Despite the fact that this was the most personal thing in the world to me, if I let my emotions rein as we planned our strategy, we would lose – and badly.So we arrived here and bega
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 59- Viviane Plans Her Escape
Viviane“The auction is tomorrow.” I whisper, looking around at the hundled mermaids surrounding me. A dozen worried faces gaze back, their pretty features ranging from frightened to positively petrified. “If we’re going to escape, we have to do it tonight.”“There’s no use.” One of the younger girls sighs forlornly. She looks about fifteen and has spent most of our time here crying. I can’t say I blame her. When I was her age I would have fallen to pieces under these circumstances. I’m actually amazed I’m not in worse condition now. Being with Caspian really has changed me, made me stronger and more confident. A few months ago I would have sat here and waited for him to come and rescue me, but we don’t have the time to waste.“I know it’s daunting, but we have to try.” I tell her gently, looking to the others for support. Unfortunately she’s not the only one who has doubts. Spending one’s formative years in captivity has that effect, we were trained to obey or suffer, and made to bel
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 58 - The Truth Comes Out
Caspian“My brother?” I repeat, stunned.“Honestly Caspian, I knew you were incompetant, but I never thought you were stupid.” James drawls. “Did you never wonder how there could be such a large age difference between siblings? Our grandmother was already thirty when she had mom, she was in her fifties by the time I came around - not exactly prime breeding years.”“They died before I was born.” I remind him, “I never knew the math.”My head is reeling, but I have to admit it makes sense. It would explain why my mother always treated him like a son, why she loved him so much more than she loved me. We were both her children, but he was the one she actually wanted.“Why lie about it?” I demand, “My father let her get away with everything, why lie about your relationship?”“It was never about your father.” James scoffs, “It was about mine. He would have taken me from her if he’d known I existed. She was nothing to him, just another she-wolf in a long line of conquests, but he never had o
