I sensed Mom before her voice boomed through the walls. Whenever she was angry, it was easy to sense her rage.
The irritation entwined with the air and made the atmosphere tense and hot. No one wanted to be around her when she was upset. Not even me.Her visit here was inevitable. It has been a week since Sophie was with the healer. She was still in a coma. I couldn't get myself to go see her like that. In fact, I didn't have the strength to do anything at all. Not even get out of bed.No matter how much I tried to act like everything was okay, a flood of sadness would knock me from that pedestal. I haven't been to school, nor anywhere to be exact. I tried to shake off the depression and went to sign the contract with the hotel owner. The signing was a success, but my spirit was never lifted.Construction on the hotel started. Shelly went there to instruct the workers. She was monitoring their progress. Shelly took the time out every night to upRelated chapters
The Hidden King Aqualia
I spotted the merman before he did me. His stance could be sighted from a mile away. It was too distinctive. I drove into the garage and cut the engine of the vehicle. He opened my door with a smile. "Hi, you're getting better at this driving thing." That charming smile. The same one he flashed me the day I walked into the shelter. Craig, that was the name he called himself on land. He had been an amazing help these past few days. I didn't know there were so many rules we had to abide by here. Craig taught me every necessary detail to live in this world. I didn't know what I would do without him. I exited the car and handed him his car keys. "Yeah, your car isn't that hard to drive. Besides, you're a great teacher." I had to park Sophia's car. Countless times, I planned to leave it at King Marvelon's house, but fear often stopped me. The thought of going there when he was home was enough to trample the idea. Instead, the vehicle was parked at the apar
The Hidden King Aqualia
No other thoughts consumed my mind but Princess Aqua's. I couldn't help but wonder why she requested my presence. No, there were a hundred reasons why she would want to see me, but was I ready to see her? Heck, no. My actions had been terrible. It was unheard of for a mate to attack the paramour. They lived in harmony. In fact, it was said the mate often felt the connection of the paramour before she coupled with the King.The thing was I never felt any kind of spiritual connection to Sophia. Yes, I liked her. She was a nice land girl, but that was it. I considered her a friend. There was no foreseeing her and Prince Mitchalus. No instant connection between our beings. Nothing. Even during and after I attacked her, there was nothing. No pain. No love lost. I was empty with nothing but rage.One could analyze this as a result of Sophia belonging to another. She was never meant to be connected to me. This had to be the reason for my sudden hate for her. It had to be.

Strange.I wasmore than nervous to enter the King'shouse. My mind kept showing me images of him being angry at me or with all three of these people ganging up on me. Despite what my thoughts were, the opposite of them happened. Guardian Shelliot didn't address me but carried on as if I wasn't there. I figured she was still feeling the impact of Princess Aqua dismissing her.Princess Aqua guided me to the room I used to stay in. She retreated to the King's room after. At dinner, he said nothing to me. In fact, he walked past me. Everyone communicated as usual and acted as if I wasn't even present. I guess it should have made me feel relief. However, it made me feel worse. If they didn't address the problem now, then they would do it later when my guard was down. That would be far worse.Unable to sleep, I convinced myself it was wise to speak with Princess Aqua. We needed to have everything out on the table. Only then could we move forward. It was bet

'Was Peter right? What should I do?'Craig allowed the questions from his mate to linger in the air. "Yeah, Peter does have a point. Marvelon may still be a baby, but we are on land. If we constantly lift the baby in our arms, he won't learn how to walk. We have to leave him on the ground for him to learn how to do things on his own. Marvelon has the responsibility of billions of creatures to think about. He doesn't have time to be spoon-fed. The most you can do now is give him the facts and let him make the moves. If he fails, let him know he has you by his side, but don't take the reins for him."A heavy sigh filled the room."Sometimes I wished we had mated," the princess admitted. The pain in her voice was loud and clear. "He wouldn't be going through this. He would have gotten the proper training and grew up among his kind."Craig pulled her closer. "His life would have been worse. If we mated, it would have made us stronger and made our

Princess Aqua and Craig both settled back down. King Marvelon shifted behind me. Attempting to ease his mind, I did the worst thing. I connected our minds, so we could communicate. It was easier than I thought."Are you okay?" I thought. "You can just think what you want to say, I'll hear it. This way your Mom and Craig won't hear us."He didn't respond but jerked a little. It had more to do with the sudden intensity of me invading his mind. It didn't seem he was used to such things.This trick was used by Royals and their subjects close to them. Persons like their personal guards, Guardian, and personal executives. Little did I know I opened our minds to something else."The star harvester has been traversing back and forth on land for the past few weeks," he carried on. "After which, one of her guards came. He hasn't left since. I believe it has a lot to do with what's going on with Alexander."King Marvelon stiffened.
The Hidden King Marvelon
Despite a rough morning, today was not all bad. My spirits were back up. I wasn't back on my high horse but cruising on my feet. After hearing Mom and Craig last night, I decided it was best to shake off this depression and push forward. As the mermaid said, our lives sucked but we couldn't allow it to hold us down. I had a lot of people who were depending on me. We just had to take it one step at a time.With no nightmares last night, I was refreshed. It either had to do with the mermaid in my bed or what I heard earlier in the night. In the morning, Mom walked into my room to find me and the mermaid sleeping together. She didn't seem too happy about it. I couldn't even explain what happened. None of the excuses in my mind didn't implicate me.The mermaid and I were enemies. She got on my nerves. Still, whatever she did last night fogged my emotions. Now, everything was back to normal. I didn't hate her like before but there was no forgiving her for hurting So
The Hidden King Marvelon
The house was empty. Mom was gone and Shelly went to the shelter and the construction site. The mermaid was doing god knows what. It didn't matter to me as long as we weren't in the same room.It has been forever since I have been alone. Who would have thought being okay could be this boring? I didn't.I stretched with a yawn in one of the settees in the living rooms. I peeked through an eyelid just in time to catch Little Miss Mermaid sneaking past me. It wouldn't have been anything if not for the pants and blouse she had on.I raised on the couch."Where do you think you're going?"Sneaking around was just not her. This new course of action set off alarms. She was up to no good.She paused and pivoted on her heels to face me. "Weren't you suppose to be sleeping?""Aren't you supposed to be doing something other than annoy me?" I shot back.She narrowed her eyes at me. Like that was going to help the situat
The Hidden King Marvelon
I pushed Alex's apartment door open. Though his previous curse had seemed like he was behind the door all this time, he wasn't. In fact, the studio-looking apartment was void of him. A poignant stench of stale seaweed bombarded my nostrils. I had to hold my breath in order to shake the nausea it summoned.The place was a far cry from Alex's last condo. A small bed seen in those movies with the prison cell, a bedside table that looked like it had seen better days, and a settee with a blue sheet thrown over it were all the pieces of furniture in the room. A small open kitchen area was near the entrance that looked as if it hadn't been used in ages.Between the moldy carpet on the floor and the peeling paint on the wall, this place looked like a dump. Nonetheless, the room was tidy.The mermaid and I ventured into the room. She closed the door. Though the princess wanted to be in charge, I walked ahead. She no longer complained but followed. Her eyes sw
