Chapter 20
Hayden
I gaze down at Natasha's sleeping form, wishing to join her. The only thing stopping me is how awkward it would be to explain what I'm doing sleeping naked next to her when she wakes up.
"Hayden..." Natasha mumbles in her sleep.
Smiling, I brush her hair away from her face. "I can't tell whether your attraction or fear felt toward me is stronger. I'm hoping, no, praying the first will take out the other."
As expected, Natasha doesn't answer me, and I silently take her tiny cold hand in mine. Yesterday, after she passed out in the sand on the beach, I carried her to the hotel, and now I'm refusing to leave her side, convinced she has caught a fever.
My heart clenches in pain as I watch Natasha stir in her sleep. I've never had a person to turn to when the world is cold and dark. Yet, as I sit here, I realize how wrong those words are as I gaze down upon Natasha.
Natasha gives me hope for a brighter future, and my heart longs for

Hayden I make it to Natasha's cabin and notice the door is unlocked. Cautiously, I push it open with searching eyes. "Hello? Anybody home?" When there isn't a reply, I relax my shoulders and enter one bedroom. The bedsheets carry my mate's scent, overwhelming my senses. For a merman, the smell of their mate is intoxicating, and when I spot a pair of used underwear on the floor, I forget all about the damn dragon egg. I pick up Natasha's pink underwear, and without a bone of shame in my body, I press it to my nose. Fuck, she smells so sweet! My back tenses and my skin is prickling. I'm struggling to stand still and not take my twitching cock out from my jeans—I have to slap myself to slip the underwear into my pocket. Shit, what the hell is the matter with me? I inhale and slowly exhale when I realize I'm rigid as a pole from sniffing Natasha's underwear like some sick pervert. I'm pathetic, head-over-heels in love already, and I rake my hand t

Hayden The wind bites my skin as I walk down the alley leading to New Tortuga's central street, and Zafira cuddles up to me, searching for warmth. "It's alright, girl," I tell the dragon in a voice I hope she finds soothing. My fingers brush her fluffy head, and I smile. "The weather is bad, but we will get to your mother." The dragon chirps. "Chup!" I'm about to take the gnarly pathway to my hotel standing on the cliffside, but the weather is slowing me down. Brochures fly past my face, and a vendor screams when his parasol snaps away. "No, come back!" I turn around, and my heart stops in my chest when a terrible song vibrates through the air. Thunderclouds are rolling in from a distance, and I can already determine the ocean wishing to climb up on land, enchanted to do so by the mystical voice. "SIREN!" "TO THE LIFEBOATS!" Confusion hits me when pirates and ordinary folks run for the beach, leaving everything

Natasha From the depths of the dark, I watch the monsters with glowing eyes and dinosaur-like bodies chase away Scylla, whose haunting voice carries through the sea. Suits her right. I'm smiling until breathing underwater turns challenging—Hayden's magic must be running out. My hands reach for my throat, and I kick with my legs, desperate to break through the surface. But the waves are wild, and lightning strikes from the skies above. I gasp for air, and then I'm slung into a rock. Pain wrecks my body from within, and I swallow water before attempting to crawl over the mossy rock. My hair hangs in clumps, and salt burns my eyes and makes it challenging to see. A tsunami, much more giant than any I've ever seen before, is building up in the distance, but the water isn't calm. The waves are already wild, and thunder crashes down, again and again. It seems storms arise whenever Scylla makes an entrance. I get up on the roc

NatashaIn my favorite song carried out by the beautiful woman Lana Del Rey, she sings, "They say that the world was built for two," and that line in the lyrics never spoke to me before.Now, I can barely breathe without shattering like glass. It seems love isn't something slowly building up—it's there from the beginning without you realizing it.My heart sang for Hayden, and now the cruel gods have snatched him away from me. Melodies and colors have drained from my life and left dullness behind. Every corner of the planet feels like a black hole, wanting to suck my lonely soul inside. I'm slowly dying, but the worst part is the pain of not having told Hayden that I love him.I love him.Shit, I'm tearing up again.I sob the lyrics to the first song mentioned and have to blink away tears repeatedly.Inhaling, I press myself to Hayden's cold skin, stroking my hand over his jawline with Zafira sitting next to me. Her tiny, fluffy

Natasha Twilight has broken out, and I'm all alone. Hayden never answered my question. His eyebrows knitted together, forming this pained expression that I'm sure will haunt me for the rest of my life. His eyes were so sad. As if I had somehow broken his heart by asking what a mate was, and then he passed out. Whatever. I'm okay with him being sad, mad, or even pissed with me as long as he makes it through tonight. I'm worried sick about him. My heart screams, begs for Hayden's nearness, and I stare into the bonfire with tears prickling behind my eyelids. "Are you cold?" I peer up at an older woman, smiling when she offers me a colorful, sewed blanket. "Thank you." Zafira is sleeping in my lap, and she chirps in delight when I wrap the warm blanket around us. "You're welcome," the woman takes a seat by the fire with me, staring into the flames with embers flying close to her face. There are plenty of wrinkles ar

Natasha Two days have passed, and Hayden is still recovering in the tent. Some lady told me to try finding healing seashells and pointed me in the right direction. I want to help Hayden by making him a necklace. So I'm at the beach, listening to the mutated, two-headed seagulls while I'm feeling the sand between my toes. So far, I've only found three healing seashells, but I'm having fun and hum to myself while my skirt dances in the wind. The locals gave me new clothes, and I'm eternally grateful to them since I don't need to wear my stinky, unwashed rags. I keep bending down to turn around seashells to see if there is a slight shimmer to them. The waves push up against my legs. Everything is peaceful, until suddenly something massive breaks through the waves, screeching like a demon. I slip and fall on my butt in the water, startled by the loud sound and the massive chest taking up my field of vision. My heart is beating a mile per second. What type

Natasha I make it back to the tent where Hayden is resting. I'm still angry after my encounter with Aiden, or as I like to call him, "Mr. Dickface" and I angrily prepare the seashell necklace for Hayden. "I met this unbelievably infuriating asshole while I was searching for your seashells..." Hayden twitches when I hang the necklace around his neck. The magical glow turns more brilliant, and I jerk back in startlement when the merman abruptly opens his eyes. Never in a thousand years did I expect the magic to heal him so quickly, and my heart climbs up into my throat when Hayden sits up. He doesn't say anything, and sudden fear claws at me when he turns around. His eyes narrow, and I press my back against the tent when he approaches me with a glare. Every muscle is on display. He isn't wearing any clothes, and his flexing arms make my mouth go dry. Did I do something to piss him off? "Uh..." I lick my lips. "Hello?" Hay

Natasha I watch the waves push up on the beach while smiling. Today, I'm a morning person enjoying the warm breeze, and I love every minute of squinting up at the sun. My toes curl in the sand, and an uncharacteristic giddiness enters my body. I want to leave this island behind since being here makes me restless. Zafira seems to enjoy playing in the waves, but I'm bored out of my mind on this island. I'm also worried about Roger. Did he die? I need to see New Tortuga and find out. Hayden is no longer injured, and although there is a scar on his body, I know he is powerful enough to swim. My heart picks up pace as images of Hayden in his enormous, scary merman form enter my mind. Is it safe to let him take me away from here? I'm not sure what we are—friends or lovers? Regardless of the answer, Hayden seems different after his recovery. We talk less, and it feels like there is some distance between, and yet, whene
