2024-10-29 19:42:56Why 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.

Mitch caught me coming and put up his defense. Fel attempted to step in the way, but I got up to them before she could do anything. My fist was sailing by the time she could say stop. Mitch dodged one but my next one connected. He wasn't given a chance to come at me before another of my fists collided with his jaw. He grabbed my shirt and clocked me in the nose.Pain was a thing of the past. The need to pound him to a pulp was too great."Stop it, now!" Fel bellowed.All the anger from before vanished. I paused, so did Mitch. Fel grabbed my arm and pushed Mitch away from me."Go home," she commanded.His gaze burned with bitterness. Regardless, he turned and stormed off. Fel hauled me away from the small spectators we gathered. We didn't stop until I yanked my arm free from hers.She turned to me with pleading eyes. "You have to calm down, Prince. You can't act this way in public."I hated this but she was

Alex was sound asleep. I didn't think I have been this afraid in my life. Every five minutes, I kept checking his pulse to make sure he was still alive. This was not a nice feeling. I never wanted to experience something like this ever again.The one time I needed Shelly, she wasn't home. She was out searching for Sophie with Mitch's men. Of all the time to go missing, Soph chose now.Damn my fucking friends!I couldn't get anything out of the Guardian. He refused to talk until 'his leader' was awake. I somewhat appreciated that he was looking out for Alex. On the other hand, it was a pain to be waiting.I glanced out over the railing of the balcony. "Tell me this, what do you want with Alex?"The Guardian's black and white eyes scanned the room. "I'm given orders to keep him safe. I'm just here to do my job."I wanted to ask him who gave him this order but held it back. He refused to give me any information before. I

Martin excused himself to help his sister. I couldn't tell if Alex was still here or if he was gone. If I was being honest with myself, it would be nice to have him here. He was my friend, despite what he changed into. It didn't matter where his loyalty lay, he was still Alex to me.I rubbed my forehead and stared at the ocean. If Soph was here, she would know what to do. God, what if Alex was right? That summer all those years ago, I felt betrayed. I hated Soph and Alex for what they did. I hated my Mom even more for sending me away. But in all truth, I was the one to be blamed.Shelly said Soph waited for me. She was sick because I wasn't there. When I returned, my first action was to almost kill my best friend and hurt the one girl I had ever loved. Yes, to anyone outside of this bubble, that was a betrayal."Are you okay?" the princess rested her hand on my arm.I didn't fake a smile. It would be useless. "I don't know. I guess I shoul

I paced outside Shelly's door. The search for Sophie had kept her busy for the past two days. She left before I woke and returned home when I retired to bed. It has been a hectic week. With all that was going on with Alex and the merfolk community, there was not much time to intercept Shelly.She was home early today. This was the only chance I got to come clean. Craig was leaving for the ocean and I wanted to speak to him before he left. Regardless, I owed Shelly first grabs of the truth. She was my Guardian. She deserved it.The thing that bothered me was how she was going to take it. I wasn't too receptive to the idea that my friends kept the truth from me. Shelly might be upset. Still, I couldn't hold out any longer. I had to handle whatever came next.I gathered enough courage and knocked."Come in!" she called out.I pushed the door open. Shelly was seated at her dresser, grooming her hair. She smiled at me through the mir

I spotted Craig before he did me. His appearance was still the same from ten years ago. To a regular folk, he looked like he was in his late twenties. But I knew better. He was far older than that.His personality matched his appearance. He never acted older than he looked. He even had a way to draw all sorts of people to him. He had two sides: the sweet, nice guy; and the powerful merman. He could switch into each mode with ease. It used to intrigue me as a child.Craig walked over to me with a smile. "Youngblood, it's a surprise to see you here."I grinned at the nickname. It had been ages since he called me that. It was the first name of the next 'Baby King'. I used to hate the baby nickname. Back then, I saw myself as a big kid. I used to tell him not to call me that in front of my friends. Especially Sophie. He often found it amusing when I protested. It was annoying but I adored him.I scratched the back of my hair. "Yeah, I wanted t

"Seriously?" I groaned. "Why don't you buy your own fucking stuff. I'm going to start charging you rent."Alex gulped down the last of the Apple juice in the jug. "Oh, you wouldn't do that to your homeless best friend, would you?"Yes, I would if he didn't stop drinking and eating all my damn stuff. Shelly was busy and she couldn't go shopping. If Alex kept this up, I was going to have to do the shopping. Mia and Martin have been occupied with the finishing details of the merfolk community. It was supposed to be open this coming week.We wanted to hold the interviews for the businesses this weekend. Everything should be done by the latest Wednesday. Therefore, everything else was left to me. I was in no mood to go shopping. I have never done it before. I didn't plan on starting now."Of course not," the princess answered for me. "King Marvelon would never do such things."Yes, I would."You're right, Aqualia," Alex be
The Hidden King Guardian Shelliot
I shifted in the vehicle away from Guardian Torus. My voice was low as a whisper. "What? What do you mean Head Guard Aquant is here? Are you sure it's him?"Head Guard Aquant hated humans. He thought they were fragile beings who were too weak and heartless. Not to mention the views he had about Marvelon. There was no way he would come to land. Not now anyway, not when the Kingdom was in danger. He was never one to ignore his duties."How should I know?" Marvelon whisper-yelled. "The freaking man is sitting on my couch with two guards who look like they are about to kill somebody. It doesn't even look like he likes me or my household."My heart skipped a beat.Oh, the sea gods, I hoped he didn't say anything to offend him. Aquant already had an opinion of Marvelon. The King was not our ideal leader but he was trying. Aquant would never see it like that."Okay," I shielded my mouth with my hand. "I'll get there as soon as possible

The Hidden King Author's Note
Marvelon's story has come to an end. I had so much fun with this story. It has blossomed so much since it started. The first draft was way less complicated than this final piece. The original version was a love story about Aqualia and Marvelon. However, as I wrote, the panster in me came alive. New characters joined the story and the old characters played new parts. Their lives were molded differently. Gosh, most of them probably hate me for all the tribulations I have put them through.Oh, I bet Marvelon does. Aqualia might be. A little. Oh, my gosh, since we are on the subject, I can only imagine what is going through Aquant and Torus's heads. 'All my possessions for the head of the author'. Yep, or maybe they would threaten to find me. Oh, yeah, that's it.Still, they are my babies. Torus is my favorite character in the entire story, and I thoroughly enjoyed the scene where he and Guardian Shelliot sparred in the cave at the Antarctican Manor—yes, I am the psycho who enjoyed reading

"Sorry I'm late, guys," Fel swam into the cave. "Prince Torus has become such a big baby these days."I never thought I would hear those words. Baby and Torus in the same sentence. Though he and Sophia mated, he acted aloof to the entire situation. If it had not been for Sophia and Mitch, I wouldn't have thought the guy would be mated. He was just that kind of asshole. Sophia didn't seem to mind being mated to him or Mitch. I mean, come on, she chased after an ass like me for years. I just wished she would have gotten a better ending rather than Mitch and Torus. After all, she had been through, she deserved so much more.Mitch sighed. "Where is he now?""He's in my chambers, sleeping," Fel answered."What's wrong with him?" I probed, looking for answers.Aqualia's shoulders bounced."He's rejecting his coupling urges," Fel responded. "The more he does it, the more he's losing control. And, a merger losing control is n
The Hidden King Aqualia
My heartbeat pounded in my ears. When the executive stated that the King needed my presence in the King and Queen's quarters, I panicked. Mitchalus has time and time again pointed out he had no interest in sleeping in the same quarters. This was the main reason we avoided this area. It was not meant for us. Which would explain my nervousness.Mitchalus was not the type of person to change his mind out of the blue. He would fight it until I submitted. However, before he did no such thing. Instead, he helped my ruined Kingdom to go under construction. It had to mean he accepted where we were and decided to let me go. For some odd reason, I was heartbroken. It was a much more wrenching feeling than anything else.Mitchalus gave up. It should have made me happy. All I ever wanted was to be rid of this Kingdom and ruled in mine. Now, Mitchalus was giving me the chance to do so and it was like my world was ending.Stupid girly feelings!I had ho

"Are you sure you want to do this, Mom?" I asked as she got ready to leave.It was not that I didn't want her to go. That was the plan, after all. But my visit home was different. There was a tension there that was odd. My house was always a cheery place. It made me feel comfortable and safe. However, when I went home, that calm was gone. It was as if everyone was holding on with a thin line.I couldn't tell if it was me. My relationship with Fel was not too stellar. She was different. No longer was she shy or sweet. She only stuck around because she needed my help to free Craig, and she was not afraid to let me know. Around everyone else, it would appear that she was the perfect mate. Behind the scenes, she was a monster. Too headstrong and determined to do things her way.She couldn't wait to get away from me. The more she rebelled, the more I craved her. I needed help, it was clear with my interest in women. Still, I couldn't help myself. Fel subm

My heart rate went off the charts. A chill ran down my spine. The anger in Fel's eyes had me paralyzed in the spot. This was the first time I have ever seen her and she did not look innocent and shy. The determination and anger were aimed at me. It didn't matter, though. All I wanted was to kiss her. For some strange reason, she was way hotter than before.It could be the aquamarine dress. It was too provocative to be considered such. The majority of her breasts were spilled out from the deep V neck design. The two slits on each of her thighs were enough to keep my eyes on her movements. If that was not enough, the material was thin to invite every heterosexual male. Yet, it was thick enough to hold everything from the viewer.Her hair was down. The crown was a perfect addition to the colors in her hair. Her hair had gotten longer. It swayed from her hip with the wind."Fel," I breathed.She hissed. "How dare you! How dare you!"

"We'll go to see her now," I ordered Amoria.Time waited on no man. I didn't have time to waste. The sooner we found the Seer, the better things were."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Amoria observed me. "Your mother just died."If I had not been smart and severed my connection to that mermaid, I would have to be resting now. The excruciating pain would have been enough to keep me bedrisen for at least a few days.I pushed from my throne and swam up beside her. "She was no mother of mine. She doesn't deserve that title. I refused to be held back by such a mermaid.""Hmmm." Amoria opened a portal before us. "You really have changed. It's kind of scary. Too bad, I know how to handle crazy bitches."A corner of my mouth twitched at the comment. "Look who's talking? You're the craziest of us all.""Damn right about that."Neither of us moved as the hole got bigger. I didn't trust Amoria one

The three guards never moved or said anything. One of them was keeping a secret, yet none of them wanted to talk. I shifted my tail, getting more comfortable. If they thought they would get away with using their powers against Craigleon, they had the next thing coming."Craigleon was the best person in this Kingdom," I admitted. "I'm sure all three of you can agree. He must have helped each of you in one way or another. He helped me in more ways than one. He taught me things my parents were too busy to teach. He was patient and kind. The kind of person that you couldn't help loving."One encounter with my brother changed many lives. He was a beautiful man, inside and out. Mother's masterpiece. It was no secret she loved him more. If he had been born a girl, she would have tossed me aside from the very beginning. Maybe I wouldn't have been born."When I was younger and scared Craigleon was the one who snuck in my chambers and sang to me until I fell a
The Hidden King Princess Fesel
Everyone bowed at my arrival to the Bedding Cave. This place was essential to our Kingdom. The cave rested beside The Bedding. Once the star has been passed on from one Queen to the next, the previous Queen would be taken to this cave. Here she could relax and pass away in peace. The Bedding is next to it, which helped to rest her shell of a body there once she passed on to the ancestral world.Father was the only one in the Mother Queen chamber. The minute he noticed me, he moved from the chair beside Mother's bed."Fesel, are you okay?" he asked. Though his lips moved, his facial expression held no ounce of concern.If I had not known the other side of my father, his behavior would have fooled me like it did everyone else. However, I knew what he was like as a Father. And, this was not it. The spark he once had was gone. I needed to know what he did that caused him to look this dead. I needed to know the truth. What was going on? This was why I nee
The Hidden King Princess Fesel
My eyes fluttered open. It took me a while to recall my current situation. I was a Queen, my mother was on the brink of death, and here I was. My heartbeat pounded in my temples. I swung my tail from the bed and sat up."Your Majesty, you are awake," the dark sorcerer rushed to me. "You gave me quite the scare."Oh right. I sought out the dark sorcerer to get rid of all connections to everyone close to me. Mother was on the brink of death and I didn't want to feel that useless heartache. Therefore, I had it all taken away. I shouldn't have to suffer if any of them die. None of them took my pain when I suffered. None of them."I thought you might have died for sure," the dark sorcerer went on. "I warned you about that spell. It is a miracle you are still alive. Breaking a connection with one person is as much stress on your body, much less three people all at once."The pain was excruciating enough to cause me to lose consciousness. I
