Chapter 146: Masking My Scent

Author: Black Velvet
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
I checked the preparations I had made and suddenly felt more confident and fearless. I felt like a seasoned adventurer, just like Robinson Crusoe!

After that, I had to take a crucial step to determine whether I could successfully escape this cave. I had to dive and swim in the sea with my newly grown gills to help me breathe underwater.

I approached the pool that Dicken had used to bring me deep underwater. Then, I crouched down and dove into the water decisively. When I confirmed that I could breathe underwater without any issues, I swam downward as fast as possible.

At that moment, some part of me couldn’t bear to leave, but the rush of water currents didn’t allow me to ponder further. I seemed to be swimming into the deeper parts of the ocean with the instincts of an actual fish. I swam at a speed that no regular human being could, then I saw the light above me and broke through the water surface.

I wiped away the droplets of water on my face with the back of my hand as I fo

pay way too much to read one simple story... this story alone is like probably going to break a hard $60 if not more. That's sad for one book, she's making Hella bank off everyone of us

Kinda getting tired of the running away... it doesn't seem like Linda is much of a scientist at all. She runs away and then the second she is in trouble she shouts for Dicken. Then she runs away the second Dicken's back is turned. Weird things are happening, Dicken is learning to communicate...run

Seems like the author loves to tease us by just uploading short stories. Hay it makes me mad sometimes. Reading book is one of my way of getting rid of my sadness. Somehow I got frustrated due to this.

    Right then, I felt a stinging pain in my ankle. I looked down and saw three leeches attached to it and were burrowing their teeth deeper into my skin. One of them had already burrowed deeper than the other two, causing the pain to intensify as if a drill was drilling a hole into me. I hated leeches, and I was tempted to jump up and flick them away, but my determination to stay hidden forced me to remain still. Even the smallest of sounds could alert Dicken of my whereabouts. Besides, I couldn’t get these three leeches off me from a mere flicking. Even if I jumped up and down, I wouldn’t have been able to remove them. My movements would only catch Dicken’s attention before being dragged back to his cave. So, I could only grit my teeth to withstand the pain. I remained still and observed Dicken, who was nearby. I could see him sniffing the air, but he didn’t look like he could identify my scent. His solid chest anxiously rose and fell as he couldn’t find me. Suddenly, he crouched l

    I was now completely alone. I had to rely on myself to survive and look for Peter and the others. I knew that I didn’t have as much survival skills or experience compared to Jack, but at least I had some experience camping in the wild. Furthermore, I was knowledgeable on matters pertaining to biology. As long as I was careful enough not to bump into Dicken, I believed I could safely get back to the boat. Therefore, I took out the looking glass and looked toward the sea with it. After scanning the sea for a while, I saw a few bright lights coming closer from the west of the islands. I figured that these could be ships, and the bright lights in the sky could be helicopters. I was excited at first, but not long after, I was overcome with worry because I had no way of knowing whether they were Laura’s men or reinforcements that Jack had called for. It was also possible that they were neither. Nonetheless, these boats were my biggest hope of leaving these islands. I estimated when the

    I wanted to figure out what was happening to me, but the extreme adverse sensation in my body prevented me from thinking straight. When the wave of coldness hit, I couldn’t help but tremble and curl myself up tightly. And when the wave of heat came, I felt like my skin could emit steam, and my body felt like it was boiling. I tossed and turned around on the ground as my throat released a series of agonizing moans. ‘Good God! What is happening to me? Is this the beginning of the second change? Why is it that this is happening so soon after the first? No wonder Dicken was looking for me. What will I grow this time? A tail? Webbed claws?‘No! I can’t let something terrible like that happen again. I have to withstand the torment and get treated before the next changes come!’ I closed my eyes in anguish and dug my fingers into the soil as I tolerated the extreme sensations. Eventually, the alternating waves of hot and cold started to reduce in frequency. However, a different and stra

    I tensed up when I realized those were Gary’s and Laura’s voices. I shrunk myself under the shade of the tree with my back plastered against its trunk. I spied on them through the corner of my eye and saw that they were next to some stone pillars less than ten meters away. If they came closer to where I was, they would have heard the sound of my reggae breathing as well as my suppressed moans. I could only clamp my hand onto my mouth and nose tightly and not move as I listened to my own loud and rapid heartbeat. I couldn’t help but tremble as I wished they wouldn’t notice my presence. “I have a feeling she’s nearby,” said Gary. He looked around and swept the beam of his flashlight around the tall grass. He was headed in my direction, so I shrunk my body further and hid behind the tree trunk. My heart felt like it had jumped up to my throat when he took notice of the tree I was behind. Thankfully, at that moment, Laura called for him. “Stop the search, Gary. It’s getting in th

    I gulped in fear. When I saw both of them walk away, I tolerated the sexual frustration and tried to stand up. However, my legs were too weak, and I fell after taking two steps. I didn’t know there was a slope in front of me, so I rolled down it as I fell. I heard Gary’s voice from behind me, accompanied by the sound of his footsteps. “Who’s there? Linda, is that you?” ‘Sh*t! I’m done for!’ I picked myself up and tried to run into the forest, but my weak legs couldn’t keep up. I fell after running only a few meters. The moment I lifted my head, Gary was already in front of me. He extended his hands like he had wanted to help me get up, but he abruptly froze in place. He looked surprised as he scanned my body, noticing something not right about me. My body was hot as my skin blushed red. The fabric of my clothes was stuck onto me from all the sweat, and my legs were trembling. I shrunk myself away from him as his gaze made me feel even more ashamed of myself. I covered my face a

    I heard several gunshots, but none of them seemed to hinder Dicken’s pursuit as his low neighs got closer and closer. Bullets whizzed past from behind me, but I didn’t dare turn and look. I simply stumbled as I ran through the forest with all the strength I had in me. I was lightheaded and was panting profusely. I wasn’t even sure whether I was dreaming or not. All I knew was that I didn’t want to be caught by either Gary or Dicken. Suddenly, Gary shouted from behind me, “Linda! Come back! That merman is in front of you!” I looked to see what was happening in front of me, but suddenly there was nothing under my feet. It turned out that I was on a cliff with a large grotto at the bottom of it. But when I realized this, it was too late. I had already fallen down the edge of it. Right then, someone grabbed ahold of my arm, suspending me in the air. I looked up to see Gary exert all his energy in holding onto my arm. My survival instincts caused me to grip tightly onto his arm fo

    I thought to myself in despair. ‘This has to be the most horrifying day in my entire life. I didn’t think hell would look like this…’ When I was about to pass out from the sight of all the mermen, a large dark shadow descended from where I had fallen. He opened a rift across the sea surface, causing enormous waves to form. A familiar face revealed itself among the splashes as his eyes looked at the scene around me. He made a neigh without warning, and the other mermen that had wanted to take their turns with me retreated. They hid in the water, only revealing their eyes as they observed their mighty alpha. I laid on the rock weakly, but the moment I saw Dicken, my sexual urges instantly intensified, rendering my legs incapable of running. I could only watch as Dicken approached me and extended himself out of the water. Then, he bent down, enclosing me in his shadow. His thick hormonal fragrance enveloped me as he approached, drowning me within it. Dicken’s claw looped around

    I felt immensely ashamed compared to the calmness that Dicken displayed. I was like a cat in heat, but he remained calm and composed as he looked at me. This was a sharp contrast compared to before when he was in a mindless rut. Now, the roles had reversed as I plastered against him thirstily and moaned. ‘Is this a sign that I am about to become a mermaid? Will I become a beast in heat?’ Dicken was not subduing me due to his primitive desires. Instead, it was as he mentioned before. He needed to prove to the other mermen that I was his. He needed to mark me as his so that the other mermen would not covet me. ‘Damn it! I don’t want to be marked. I just want to leave this godforsaken place!’ I wanted to close my eyes in resistance to the embarrassment, but Dicken’s deep eyes bore into me, locking mine in place. I could see myself through the reflection in his eyes. I looked like I was in a daze with tears at the corner of my eyes. My mouth was half open as I panted, and I looke

    Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive

    In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t

    That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as

    In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in

    I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd

    “Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh

    My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow

    “Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc

    “Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
