"I'm not seeing a damn thing," Alex hissed.
He was thrilled to play the recording of the princess's mating. But the excitement was knocked from his happy pedestal with static and a bright light. I didn't know what he expected. Mitch was royalty. Mia mentioned that royalties had higher levels of power which made them brighter than ordinary merfolks. If Shelly's mating was that beautiful then, of course, the princess's was going to be better."It was awesome though," the princess bragged. "Other than the part where he marked me and the soreness, it was good."I forgot she was a virgin. It must have been an experience. With all the porn she watched, she had to be ready. I knew for a fact Mitch was far from the ship of virginity. Yet, he didn't stop and she seemed to enjoy it. Like Fel. I could only ever remember one time Fel and I had sex and it was not brutal. It was the first time we did it. That night I was gentle—not because she was a virgin,I didn't retain a thing in my brain. Fel captured all my attention. It couldn't be why she arrived that early. We studied but most of her time was spent observing the mermaid, Aqualia, rather than the books. It was easy to tell she was not too pleased to walk in on me with my hands on a next woman's boobs.Though Alex and the mermaid spent more time together studying, it didn't seem to ease the look of displeasure on Fel's face.Shelly returned but left again to help Mia and Martin with the interviews for the job vacancies at the merfolk community. She wanted to get that handled before her departure. Therefore, most of her day would be filled with such acts.I decided my brain needed a break from all the things it was not storing. Instead of watching clip scenes of twilight, we watch the entire movie. I cringed through it, getting a glimpse and pieces. Alex point-blank stared at his phone through the entire thing. My palm itched to smack him in the h
The same old dream. Rains of ash poured down from the sky to a desolate world. Tears of blood from the eyes of familiar faces. Fear shot through my veins. The same old, same old. But, then it all dissolved and I was underwater. The mermaid was back again. This time I had an idea of who she was.When she sang to me, I butted in, "Amoria, what do you want?"Her singing ceased and she observed me. She was beautiful. I couldn't deny that. But fear emitted from her. Not what I had wanted for Alex. They were so much apart. Of all the mermaids in the ocean, he had to mate with the craziest. A potential psycho and a crazy mermaid. That sounded like a disaster waiting to happen."So, he told you about me." Her voice was like a melody. So sweet like an amazing hum. Different from the destruction that radiated from her. If this was another situation and she was nicer, men would fall in love with her just by hearing her speak. "How typical of him. Head Sorcerer
I had a bad feeling about this. It was not the snow or the earthquake. I knew Marvelon was powerful, but something was not right. Once he mated that princess, an uneasy sensation chilled my blood. I didn't even know she was a mermaid much less a princess when she came here. It was as if all her powers were buried. Not even after Prince Mitchalus announced who she was had I sensed anything. Her powers were still hidden. Yet, Jayel could tell she was coming from a mile away. He was the one who pointed out that she would visit Marvelon. He was the one who told me when she arrived.I couldn't help but wonder if… No, I shook my head. Princess Aqua would have told me. I was the one who had to call her, not the other way around. Which was odd. Princess Aqua called every time Marvelon did anything. The first time we sensed he had another mate, she was ecstatic. She called me every day to find out who it was. I couldn't find any connections to the sensation because it was
I stepped into my kitchen to a counter filled with mail and gifts. For some reason, merfolks from all over sensed my mating and sent me congratulatory letters and presents. They didn't send it to my home but sent it to shelters all over the world. The shelters then send the gifts to the local shelters here and Mia and Martin would collect them."Are they still coming?" I whined."Yep," the princess popped her P.I was starting to get the idea to just throw them out or give them to other people. Most of these things I had already. Some people sent kitchen utensils and appliances, vouchers for all sorts of stuff, and pieces of furniture, lamps, and other crap.It would be nice to give half of this stuff to the merfolks that didn't have the money to afford it. The ones that just arrived on land and didn't know what money was. They would enjoy these things more than me.The merfolks community was already occupied with merfolks from
"You are the King of Kings," Jayel recited. "Your power is far more advanced than the Sea Witch Queen, so you should be able to sense every aquatic creature and tell who they are before you see their faces."I would not mind that at all. It would be great to know if a merfolk was bad or good before they approach me. That way, I could be mentally prepared for them. I would know whether to follow them up or just let them be."You use the elements around you to fuel your power," Jayel added. "The air, water, and land. You can use those components to heighten your senses. Sorcerers use water and the essence of it. We can manipulate it and turn it into magic. Once the air is cold and moist, we can utilize that moisture and turn it into magic. Therefore, we are most powerful on land on cool and rainy days, dusk, and dawn. You don't have to be able to view the moisture but we will be able to sense it."Alex nodded his head on the opposing couch. The princes
Alex dragged me with him downstairs. Everyone was getting ready to jump in the pool. I relaxed in the kitchen while everyone transformed. Well, everyone except Fel. The sight was a beauty from afar. Their glows blended together when my eyes were closed. I caught a gist of what Alex was talking about. The mixed colors may not be rainbow-colored like mine, but it was close enough.When the Princess transformed, she now acquired two colors instead of one. Her grey aligned with the same blue as Mitch. Not only that, with Mitch's blue, another color also lurked behind it. I sensed it but the thing refused to reveal itself. It was as if it protected the current blue color. Mia and Martin sported the same green. They never disclosed what pod they were from and I never asked. Everyone was aware of it, though. Their tails were different from everyone else. An additional dorsal fin fitted above their caudal fin on their tails. The others were without this feature.The di
I grabbed one of the pizza slices Alex collected from the guard. We were somewhat jealous. He had the ability to venture outside the pool as far as to the phone in the kitchen to make the order for pizza. That was not all, he didn't even have to go through a second transformation to accomplish all that. He did it while in his merman state. A talent he attained because unlike the rest of us, he didn't have a tail.Life was unfair. Prince Mitchalus analyzed it as that Alex still had his human genes, so he was unable to formulate a tail. That was not a bad thing. We did a few experiments to test out how good Alex was in this current form. He was excellent in everything except speed. We were faster than him in swimming. He could compensate by using his powers to heighten what his tail could have achieved.Still, Mia and Martin were the fastest of all of us. They originated from one of the pods in the Indian Ocean. Those were the fastest merfolks in the sea. No othe
I woke this morning with an unsettling sensation in the pit of my stomach. Shelly should have been back already. She never stayed away from me this long. Shelly was responsible. If something happened to cause her to visit to run overtime, she would have called. Instead, she did not. It was driving me crazy.Not only that but Alex got up from the crack of dawn and would not stop staring at the sea. It was starting to get me worried. I did not like this at all."Are you going to stand there all day, or are you coming with us?" I groaned, walking out to the balcony. "Aqualia is ready and prancing all over the place. We should get going."Alex didn't turn around but continued to stare at the sea.I followed his gaze. "I sense it too. Something is not right out there. Shelly is not back yet either. I'm not sure what to do at this point, but we should go to Mitch's place. As much as I hate to admit it, he might be of use to us. He has been playi
