I knew that we both had decided to come to the surface by our own choice, we were both adults and the more liberal and Dionysian part of me just wanted to dance and have fun, to see the man who starred in my dreams since the first night I met him. But another part of me, the more rational one, knew that they had discovered our secret. And just for the fact of capturing us in a net, they deserved death, as it was a completely disrespectful action to treat a mermaid. We were mythological creatures, direct descendants of the Goddess of the sea. But I didn't take the rules so seriously and knew that among humans it was quite natural to make wrong actions and only acknowledge them after realizing they had made a mistake. That was something that distinguished mermaids from humans, we valued our relationships to avoid hurting or making a mistake towards others, while humans tended to make mistakes or hurt, and as they valued personal relationships, they improved their interpersonal treatment.
I sighed, resigned to stay with them and pushed a strand of my blonde hair behind my ear, I looked at the boy who had given me his jacket, he was so disturbingly mysterious, I wondered if he also felt attracted to me.
"Very well," Seila said seductively, she had regained her natural posture and composure. It seemed to be due to her closeness with her human, Mathias.
"We will tell you everything about mermaids, only with one condition."
"You must swear under oath of the Goddess of the Sea that you will not disclose our secrets and you will tell us everything you know about werewolves. You are now protected by Oceania mermaids and you must to respect our secrets."
"I think that's an acceptable deal." - Says Mathias.
"Ignacio knows everything about werewolves," Edgar said, looking at the other man, whose coat enveloped me, so his name was Ignacio, I understood. "Finally I know his nae... Ignacio" I tought to myself.
"Then let's go to the boat," Ignacio said, "there's dinner for you, we were planning to invite you for dinner. Capturing you in such a thoughtless way was not part of the plan."
"Well, it's too late for apologies," I said dryly, then I rolled my eyes towards the boat. I sighed with relief, I was hungry and after all the plans I had for tonight were to go out to eat and have fun, maybe the night wouldn't be so bad.
The boat was luxurious, stranded on the beach, I went on barefoot as I hadn't had time to put on my high heels. Ignacio boarded the boat first, followed by Edgar, and as I was about to go up, he reached out his hand.
I stared at his hand, his hairy arm and his warm body haunted me in my mermaid dreams. Taking his hand was something I did with utmost naturalness, pretending not to care.
"Thank you," I whispered.
Upon entering the yacht, I was surprised by the decoration, it was truly beautiful. The lit candles gave the impression of floating over the dark sea that unfolded on the horizon, and the cool, cold breeze of the night made the candles flicker without extinguishing them, making them grow and illuminate everything with a yellow and sparkling light so similar to shooting stars. Ignacio was really kind, in front of us there was a set table with a dinner that looked delicious, like a feast. I wondered if he had prepared the food with his own hands. He pulled the chair back with his gaze fixed on me, and I sat down.
"Thank you," I whispered again, aware that it was the second time I thanked him after he had apologized for allowing us to be caught in a fish net like animals.
But I wouldn't forgive him so easily, I wasn't angry, but at the same time captivated by his company. I enjoyed that he was kind to me and my sister, and I enjoyed knowing that he was there, so close to me, with his small group of male friends. Because at some point, remembering the previous days, I had come to the idea of never seeing him again. It was absurd to think about it so much and now that I had him in front of me, to pretend such indifference was simply overwhelming. I sighed deeply.
Seila poured herself a glass of wine as she sat at the table next to Edgar, I didn't enjoy alcohol as much as my sister did, like Yryhnna, we preferred to enjoy other pleasures that humans usually had. In our realm, there was also alcohol, and we celebrated during parties and gatherings with an exquisite champagne that was so similar to the pink bourbon they drank. At that moment, I saw a bottle of bourbon next to the wine, and smiled satisfied.
"Would you like a glass of red wine or do you prefer bourbon?" Mathías asked, turning to me. It was the first time I looked directly into his eyes, and I understood why Seila was so fascinated by that human. His eyes were profoundly bright, like the yellow reflection of the moon moving over the calm sea. His pupil was a deep dark blue, but in the center of the iris, a yellow sun extended, painting his gaze with golden patches.
I prefer Bourbon, I love it," I sweetly admitted with my seductive siren voice.
At that moment, I realized that I hadn't been using my seductive siren voice with Ignacio all night. Big mistake! I couldn't neglect my Siren nature in front of a human just because I was angry. So, I turned to Ignacio, who was sitting next to me, and to my surprise, his eyes were locked onto me. He was looking at me with such intensity that it disarmed me. I could only do what my senses allowed me to do, trying to conquer his dormant desire. I smiled deeply at him and sent him a telepathic message.
"Make me yours, I long for you to make me yours and make love to me," I said in my thoughts, looking into his deep brown eyes until I lost my breath.
"Very well," Mathias interrupted. "Now that these beautiful sirens have accepted our invitation, and we can enjoy a lovely evening, I want to start by saying that we are werewolf hunters, and if the sirens are enemies of the werewolves, they are our friends by nature," Mathias said, raising his glass.
"Let's toast," Seila and he delicately clinked their glasses, and I could perceive a future image. Seila and Mathias getting married, both raising their glasses at their wedding with their arms intertwined. I smiled blissfully. How would that be possible? I raised my glass and toasted with them, secretly toasting to their future love.
"I also appreciate that you spared our lives when we freed you," Ignacio said, and everyone chuckled lightly. He was funny.
"Then I will start by telling how sirens and werewolves became enemies since ancient times," I said with seductive voice. "It was a long time ago, my mother told me this story, and our grandmother told it to her. And so, for generations, this is how we have kept our history alive."
I remember how started everything. I am a mermaid. And I am very healthy. I don't use to drink coffe... specially now that I am pregnant. I am pregnant of the King Alpha. But he wasn't the King Alpha always. I remember the night I met him, I was virgin, and he was only a human. An stranger human. *** Back in timeThe cafes were treasure troves, as infinitely full of life as the spring basins, where it was said in the realm of the sirens, they were poured with the same serpentine tears of the Goddess Isis, and from which Mary Magdalene had drunk. Mía was always a different siren from her sisters, she used to collect old books when she visited the human world, and would wander through the streets looking for bookstores as if it were of vital importance. She used to search for those with indelible ink to continue her readings once she could leave them in a rented house near the beach, where Deisy would only go up to read and lie down in bed. Like her sisters, she was rich, born into a
A group of boys played a fun game on the beach, hitting a ball with a racket in their hands. Although we didn't live in the human world, we were well aware of all its secrets; mermaids could visit the surface and even walk among people whenever we wanted, allowing us to easily understand their culture and norms. I noticed that the teams were unbalanced, with two boys playing against three. The team with more players consisted of one girl and two men, while the opposing team consisted of two men. They were all young, and there was another boy sitting on the side of the net, watching them play. He hugged his knees with one arm and rested his chin on his hand, observing the tennis match with a concentration similar like if He was studying a game of chess. I looked at that boy and noticed his strong, hairy forearms, his hazel brown eyes were concentrated. I turned towards the bar, where a crowd made it difficult to access. Yryhnna grabbed my arm, letting out a laugh. "Let's follow Seila
The people start screaming, and in that moment, I run between the tables towards where my sister was. My jaw drops and my nails grow into sharp claws, two sharp fangs sprout from my teeth, and I sink them into the arm of the werewolf attacking my sister, screaming with strength. In that moment, his arm throws me to the other side and launches me into the air. I land on a couple of tables a few meters away and feel a deep pain in my hips. I watch as other men transform into beasts, leaving their human forms behind. Some of them tear apart and dismember people as they run and advance among them. A hand pushes me on the shoulder and helps me to stand up. My sister, Seila, extends her hand to me, I grab it and run behind her. "Follow me! Quickly!" we run between the tables of the restaurant and head towards the bar. My face, which had transformed into that of a mermaid ready to attack, regains its normal features. I watch in amazement as Yryhnna, transformed into a furious mermaid, sink
Weeks had passed since the werewolf attack. The royal mermaid guard, alarmed by the frequent attacks near the sea, had forbidden the sirens from interacting with humans until further notice. They could only surface if they stayed close enough to the ocean and we always had to inform the mermaids guard about our return to the sea. There was no curfew at the moment, as they were still investigating the motive behind the attacks. Were they planned by the irish syrens, or did the werewolves have a plan to access the kingdom of the sea? After the accident on the beach, people and humans were closing their businesses early. The official police report claimed that a gang of killers had arrived in the city and attacked the party. The only survivors were three men who could only vaguely remember what had happened and one girl. Due to the trauma they had witnessed, they couldn't provide more details to the authorities. Upon hearing the news, we confirmed that Seila's spell had worked, and the
We returned home that night, almost celebrating our clandestine and dangerous escape, just before sunset. We had broken at least 20 rules, and Seila and Mathias had even had lunch together when he invited her. I excused myself, giving them more privacy, and waited for her at the company's restaurant, located in the lobby. The surprising thing was that even though Mathias didn't remember anything specific about Seila, he treated her as if he already knew her. I wasn't as lucky, as I never saw the bald man and sweet hazel eyes, I had seen on the beach again, and I didn't know anything about him, not even his name, I only know he worked with robots, aparently Mathias too. But something inside my heart, a voice from another plane, told me that I would soon have him close to me again. "I already know everything," Yryhnna said, swimming towards Seila as she happily prepared to comb her hair. Seila was sitting on the couch in our luxurious living room, surrounded by magazines and pictures
I know He told me He doesn't want to see me ever again. We probably we never talk in this life. Because He said "Not Mia, we are never going to see us". But there is something inside my heart weaping and begging me to see him before He leaves. I knew that we both had decided to come to the surface by our own choice, we were both adults and the more liberal and Dionysian part of me just wanted to dance and have fun, to see the man who starred in my dreams since the first night I met him.
