'Was Peter right? What should I do?'
Craig allowed the questions from his mate to linger in the air. "Yeah, Peter does have a point. Marvelon may still be a baby, but we are on land. If we constantly lift the baby in our arms, he won't learn how to walk. We have to leave him on the ground for him to learn how to do things on his own. Marvelon has the responsibility of billions of creatures to think about. He doesn't have time to be spoon-fed. The most you can do now is give him the facts and let him make the moves. If he fails, let him know he has you by his side, but don't take the reins for him."
A heavy sigh filled the room."Sometimes I wished we had mated," the princess admitted. The pain in her voice was loud and clear. "He wouldn't be going through this. He would have gotten the proper training and grew up among his kind."Craig pulled her closer. "His life would have been worse. If we mated, it would have made us stronger and made ourRelated chapters

Princess Aqua and Craig both settled back down. King Marvelon shifted behind me. Attempting to ease his mind, I did the worst thing. I connected our minds, so we could communicate. It was easier than I thought."Are you okay?" I thought. "You can just think what you want to say, I'll hear it. This way your Mom and Craig won't hear us."He didn't respond but jerked a little. It had more to do with the sudden intensity of me invading his mind. It didn't seem he was used to such things.This trick was used by Royals and their subjects close to them. Persons like their personal guards, Guardian, and personal executives. Little did I know I opened our minds to something else."The star harvester has been traversing back and forth on land for the past few weeks," he carried on. "After which, one of her guards came. He hasn't left since. I believe it has a lot to do with what's going on with Alexander."King Marvelon stiffened.

Despite a rough morning, today was not all bad. My spirits were back up. I wasn't back on my high horse but cruising on my feet. After hearing Mom and Craig last night, I decided it was best to shake off this depression and push forward. As the mermaid said, our lives sucked but we couldn't allow it to hold us down. I had a lot of people who were depending on me. We just had to take it one step at a time.With no nightmares last night, I was refreshed. It either had to do with the mermaid in my bed or what I heard earlier in the night. In the morning, Mom walked into my room to find me and the mermaid sleeping together. She didn't seem too happy about it. I couldn't even explain what happened. None of the excuses in my mind didn't implicate me.The mermaid and I were enemies. She got on my nerves. Still, whatever she did last night fogged my emotions. Now, everything was back to normal. I didn't hate her like before but there was no forgiving her for hurting So

The house was empty. Mom was gone and Shelly went to the shelter and the construction site. The mermaid was doing god knows what. It didn't matter to me as long as we weren't in the same room.It has been forever since I have been alone. Who would have thought being okay could be this boring? I didn't.I stretched with a yawn in one of the settees in the living rooms. I peeked through an eyelid just in time to catch Little Miss Mermaid sneaking past me. It wouldn't have been anything if not for the pants and blouse she had on.I raised on the couch."Where do you think you're going?"Sneaking around was just not her. This new course of action set off alarms. She was up to no good.She paused and pivoted on her heels to face me. "Weren't you suppose to be sleeping?""Aren't you supposed to be doing something other than annoy me?" I shot back.She narrowed her eyes at me. Like that was going to help the situat

I pushed Alex's apartment door open. Though his previous curse had seemed like he was behind the door all this time, he wasn't. In fact, the studio-looking apartment was void of him. A poignant stench of stale seaweed bombarded my nostrils. I had to hold my breath in order to shake the nausea it summoned.The place was a far cry from Alex's last condo. A small bed seen in those movies with the prison cell, a bedside table that looked like it had seen better days, and a settee with a blue sheet thrown over it were all the pieces of furniture in the room. A small open kitchen area was near the entrance that looked as if it hadn't been used in ages.Between the moldy carpet on the floor and the peeling paint on the wall, this place looked like a dump. Nonetheless, the room was tidy.The mermaid and I ventured into the room. She closed the door. Though the princess wanted to be in charge, I walked ahead. She no longer complained but followed. Her eyes sw

I was happy Monday came around. It was the day the twins were supposed to arrive. I had Ciara's class at eleven in the morning and someone had to stay with Alex. He was still in the room. He didn't allow the mermaid or Shelly to visit him. I was the only one who he let in the room. He kept silent most of the time. At other times, he would tell me about this mermaid he was obsessing over.The silence didn't bother me, anyway. I noticed that the scales were kept at bay when he was in the cold. His showers had to be in ice-cold water. The room had to be chilled for him to remain calm. His calmness was a high not even I could understand. He had to stay wet at least for an hour to go through the day without freaking out. It was a good thing the pool was here.The strange part was he couldn't go out in the sun without covering up. Hence, the turtle neck shirt and gloves. Yet, he could swim in his boxers in the sun for hours without getting hurt. It was all intriguing

Fel and Mitch found another seat across the lecture room. Far away from me. It irritated me even more that Fel would take his side. I didn't care what was wrong, she was supposed to sit in her original seat. Yeah, so she knew him before she did me. Whatever. Times changed, I should be her priority.Once the lecture ended, they were the first to leave the room. My other classes were a pain. I didn't hear half of what the professors taught. The way Fel handled the situation replayed in my head. The way she protected him from me. The tenderness towards Mitch grated on my nerves.By the end of my last lecture, I was steaming with rage. It took all my strength to carry out my task for the day. Lucky enough I was able to get Alex's stuff done. His professors weren't too happy but they understood. I needed to get a letter from a doctor to support my implications. It couldn't be too hard to get done. The twin could have that sort out in no time.I pulled int

Why did I kiss the king? It was wrong yet felt so good. I couldn't tell what came over me. One minute I was angry and then the next my body was sizzling with heat. It couldn't be the effects of being exposed to Princess Aqua and her mate's emotions. That should have left our system already. So what happened?The after-effects of my actions swept me off my feet in the middle of the night. It got worse as time sped by. Guardian Shelliot felt what we did. So, did Princess Aqua. It could have been possible because of the connection they had with the King. No doubt, Prince Mitchalus sensed my traitorous act, too.I broke my mate's heart. The pain couldn't be described any other way. Prince Mitchalus's emotions crowded me. There was no way to escape it. The sensation was a never-ending pit of sadness and aching.'I made my bed, now it was time for me to lay in it'. Those were Guardian Shelliot's words to me before she stormed off. Prince Mitchalus was angry. I could f

My heartbeat drummed in my ears. Thump. Thumb. Thumb. Darkness surrounded me but my body felt light. I drifted through the dark space. It was soothing. A light appeared and swallowed me.I emerged into a room. The fancy old-fashioned pieces and types of furniture gave it a castle room vibe. A master bedroom that was big enough to be a studio apartment. Even I had to admit it looked better than my room.Little Miss Mermaid appeared next to me. Her face was puffy like she was crying. I heard everything that happened with her and Mitch. He was the notorious Prince. It was hard to believe how he kept his true identity from me. We were friends and enemies for years. He was my go-to guy for everything. I couldn't tell if he knew who I was or not. It was as if everyone in my life held who they were from me.Sure, I wouldn't have been too happy to be surrounded by merfolks, but it would have been nice to not be alone. It would have made everything better.
