Aqua's POV When I wake up from my alarm I feel refreshed and a smile creeps up at my lips when I remember yesterday. I get out of bed, unusually energetic and happy about going to school. I eat breakfast consisting of some mackerel and salty dried seaweed. Then I carefully brush my teeth before putting make-up on, not bothering to shower since I did that yesterday. I brush my hair before I take the upper half of my hair and put it in a ponytail leaving the other half of my hair down. I'm still in my pajamas so I walk to my wardrobe where I search through my clothes looking for the perfect outfit. I decide to wear a white crop top, black high waisted jean shorts, a black leather jacket and white sneakers. Then I grab my backpack and make sure I've got everything necessary before I put it on my back and head to school locking my apartment when I leave. I hum to myself on the way there, just bathing in the happiness I'm experiencing right now. Considering it took four days swimming
Aqua’s POV "What?" I ask. "Third period is over, it's lunch." She says while dragging me out of the classroom. "No way! Where did the first and second period go?" I ask her in disbelief. "You were so out of it. Even when the teacher asked you a question you just answered absentmindedly. I had to literally drag you to and from classes and when we were getting our stuff you got yours by yourself but anyone could see clearly that in your mind you weren't present.” Kayla says, looking at me. "I was just thinking. Thanks for saving me." I say while shaking my head to make me snap out of my rambling thoughts rushing around in my head again. "You are so lucky to have me! But anyway, what were you thinking about?" She asks intrigued. "Well it started with Sebastian leading to Jason and my old life and then back to Sebastian and you guys." I summarize while smiling sheepishly at her. "I'm amazed that you could think about just that for so long." She says while shaking her head at me.
Aqua’s POV I gasp when I suddenly feel Sebastian kissing me again. I know this because I still feel the same strong sparks I felt this morning and just earlier as well. When he pulls back he looks at me. "We couldn't get you out of it so I thought it might wake you up." He says and smiles a little. "Sorry, I must have totally spaced off again. I have a tendency to do that when I have a lot to think about or think hard about something." I explain and smile sheepishly at them. "What were you thinking about?" Sebastian asks. "I thought about what I knew from before about mates and mating. I already know what it all means. I just thought about it and realize that since we are mates it will happen unless one of us rejects the other and I
Sebastian's POV After a long day at school and then a wonderful date Aqua and I ended up on the beach. We mostly talked during our date and I had so much fun. Not only do I love her like a girlfriend but she also feels like she is my best friend and I feel like I can be myself with her, she just makes me feel that comfortable. Watching the sunset together with her was magical. When the colors of the sky changed they shone at her painting her in warm colors while she smiled. And I dare to say that it was the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I guess that's mostly because it's the first one I have watched with her but still. I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Aqua falling asleep on my chest. I think about taking her home but it's very warm outside even at night so I stay here with Aqua still on my chest.
Aquatia's POV Thinking back on my 18 years alive so far, it seems like such a long time. Most of my life I've spent growing up in the city of Macropolis, hidden deep in the South Pacific and I've watched the city change and grow with the tide. My golden tail is supposed to bring me fortune but the abilities I have has only served to make my life worse. I can change my appearance but what does it matter when my tail remains golden, still revealing to everyone who I am? Manipulating water is more useful, I guess, but it can also backlash if I don't control it correctly. And changing the weather is no point because this deep underwater the weather doesn't affect us either way. Any other abilities like speak every human and fish language, or turning my tail into legs, is something all mer-people can do. So in the end I don't feel very special. But perhaps that also has something to do with my foster parents' hobby of hurling insults and abuse in my direction. Either way I feel like jus
Sebastian's POV We have been out on our fishing boat for hours now and we have caught quite a lot. Earlier today my soon-to-be Beta asked if I wanted to join him and a few others from the pack to go fishing and since I needed a break from Alpha training anyway I said yes. "What do you say? Should we call it a day and head home?" My Beta Zander asks. "Yeah, let's go home. It will be dark soon anyways." I answer. As we head back I suddenly hear singing. At first I think I'm hearing things but then I'm certain. But I wonder who is singing here. We are still a bit away from the city and this place is pretty deserted. Still, I swear I can hear someone and it sounds like it's coming from the big rocks near my family's private beach. "Hey, do you guys also hear singing?" I ask the others. "Yeah, now that you mention it. But who could it be?" My soon-to-be Gamma Alec asks. "I don't know, but it sounds beautiful." I state while trying to concentrate on the singing. We all listen closel
Aquatia's POV When I wake up it's 7am. School starts at 8am so I get up and take my time to eat breakfast. Yesterday I pawned a lot of pearl and gold jewelry I made before I went shopping for clothes and groceries. I bought mostly seafood considering that's what I normally eat but I got some new food as well because I have to get used to eating other human foods. But today I will stick to seafood. Shrimp and seaweed to be exact. After I'm done eating I try out the shower which is surprisingly easy to use. I also manage to blow dry my hair and comb it. I decide that I want curly hair today and I don't have time to figure out the curling iron so I just close my eyes and imagine my hair in perfect ringlets reaching down to my waist but I decide to keep the purple hair with golden highlights. It's probably how I'm going to keep it from now on. Once I'm done I put on some make-up and brush my teeth before choosing what clothes to wear. I pick a pair of black ripped skinny jeans, a lig
Sebastian's POV I wake up to my mother yelling it's time for school and I groan in annoyance. Normally I would just skip but there is a new girl in town who starts at our school today. People from my pack that met her yesterday says she smells weird, like she's not human but they don't know what she is. That's why I have to go. I dress in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt that stretches across my chest and shoulders almost to the point of ripping apart. Well, it's been a while since I bought new clothes so I guess I need to add that to my list as well. Alpha training sure is brutal, making me gain muscle in an almost absurd rate. At this point I wonder if it's even worth wearing a shirt to begin with? With a sigh I put on some black sneakers and my leather jacket before I make my way to the kitchen downstairs where my two younger twin brothers are already sitting by the table eating pancakes. Quite messily, might I add. "Big brother!" They yell when they spot me before

Aquatia's POVAs me and Kayla grab our bags and head out we talk about random stuff. I swear, it's like I've known her for years. As we walk we can see the rest of the gang waiting by the cars in the parking lot. I get in Sebastian's car and we drive towards the beach while the rest get in the black jeep and follow us close behind. The time spent driving there is filled with mindless talk, asking basic questions such as favorite food, etc. It takes about ten minutes before we arrive and I notice we are on the edge of the same beach I've been visiting lately."This is the Alpha family's private beach for them and their guests. That's why it's empty, my parents barely have time to come here unless they take guests here to entertain them. I come here with Kayla, Ty, Hailie and Jackson sometimes though." Sebastian explains."Cool, I like it. Do you come often?" I ask casually."A few times a week, more or less." He says and shrugs.I just nod and make my way over to Kayla and Hailie who a
*Sebastian's POV* When I got home the first thing I did was tell my family that I found my mate. They were all so happy and wanted to meet her. I ended up promising I would introduce them once I know her a little better. I can't believe it myself that I have found my mate. There have been times I have been doubting I'd ever find her but I did. And she's beautiful. More than that, she's gorgeous in every way possible. She is tall for a girl, she has a very nice body and her eyes. They seem out of this world. And from what I learned today she’s also kind but confident enough to stand her ground. I can't believe how lucky I am. I am a bit curious about what she is though. She confessed herself that she isn't human. I wonder if she is the one we heard singing when we were fishing the other day. After all, she appeared in this town the first time the day after that. But she said she might tell when she trusts us and I believe her. I trust her and I will wait until she is ready to reveal
Aquatia's POV The rest of the day goes by in a blur. I remember talking to Kayla but I don't remember what most of it was about. My mind is still on him. I wonder if he is thinking about me as well. "Aqua? You coming or what?" Kayla asks, snapping me out of my trance once again. "Yah?" I say, well more like ask, while heading with her out of class. "Are you okay? Is something bothering you?" She asks. "It's nothing. I was just thinking." I answer. "About what?" She asks teasingly. "Stuff." I say, not wanting to tell her. "I bet you were thinking about Sebastian." She says with a smirk. "O-of course not!" I stutter while I feel a blush creeping up on my cheeks. "You totally were! It's no use denying it with that blush on your cheeks!" She says, still smiling gleefully. "I will deny it!" I say, hiding my face in my locker while grabbing my bag and trying to calm down. "Hey there!" Someone says behind me, almost making me jump out of my skin. I turn around to see Sebastian,
