Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 26 Shopping Spree
Viviane’s POVThe morning after the Pack Games, I wake feeling dazed and weary. In the bright light of dawn, all the drama of the past few days feels surreal and distant, as if it happened to someone else. None of the events swirling through my memory feel real, and yet I know they were.The guard posted outside my front door tells me as much, as does my mother’s tense expression and quiet anger. No one has seen hide nor hair of James since Caspian beat my location out of him, and though he was obsequiously polite and gentle throughout the kidnapping, I can’t deny that it frightens me to know he’s out there somewhere.Jasper assured us James would cause no further problems, but I couldn’t help noticing Caspian’s silence on the matter. Nor did it escape me that his guard on the apartment had doubled by the time we got home. Mom noticed too, and though she’d refused to speak to me until we were in the privacy of our tiny flat, she made her feelings very clear once we arrived.“Has it no
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 27 The Heat Continues
Caspian’s POV“No.” Marina’s voice comes down like a gavel.I emit a beleaguered sigh, resting my hands on my hips as I stand outside Viviane’s front door, staring down a very uncooperative mermaid. “Please just give me a chance to explain.”“Explain what?” Marina bites back, “that you want to announce to the entire city that you’re dating my daughter?” She arches one brow, “Your own uncle found out and kidnapped her. What do you think the pack will do?”“It’s just one date.” I attempt, placating.“Bull.” She snorts, “If you turn up to that ball with my daughter on your arm, you’ll be naming her as a candidate for Luna. It will be in all the tabloids, all the newspapers. She’ll be a target for every jealous she-wolf and rival you possess.”“The difference between James and the pack is that he was emboldened by his position.” I explain patiently. “He thought he was untouchable because he’s my uncle. But the entire pack just watched me take down the strongest wolves in Asterion on live
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 28 Victory Ball Pt 1
Viviane’s POV“You mean it’s going to be like this until we…?” I can’t bring myself to say the word.“Yes.” He states simply.My nose crinkles as I try to process this information. I have no idea how much time I’m going to need before I feel ready to make love to Caspian, but since he can’t even touch me without me freezing up, I’m not optimistic. “So you’re going to lose control every time…?“Not necessarily.” Caspian sighs, moving us onto the couch. “It might get easier with more time together.”“But couldn’t it also get more difficult?” I ask. “I mean, the longer you deny yourself…”“That’s my problem, not yours, little mate.” He promises.Despite his words, I can’t help but feel guilty. “Is there anything I can do to help?”A deep laugh vibrates in Caspian’s chest, and he nuzzles my neck. “You can try to stop being so beautiful,” He suggests playfully, “or smelling so good.”“Well I know one way to fix that.” I quip, hopping up and moving towards my bag. I dig inside for my bottle
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 29 Victory Ball Pt 2
Viviane’s POVSpending most of my childhood with a tail instead of legs, dancing always seemed like a skill beyond my reach. I’ve tried a few times and even explored different genres, but it’s always been an utter embarrassment. It turns out all I was missing is my mate.Caspian spins me around the ballroom so effortlessly I feel like I’m floating, though that might just be the effect of being near him. We’re alone on the dancefloor, and the attention from the surrounding pack is palpable, but it’s impossible to feel uneasy in my mate’s arms. Under any other circumstances I would have passed out from stage fright before taking a single step, instead I’m smiling up at the future Alpha without a care in the world.This is the exact problem I shared with Kiera. Everything is easy when we’re together – but is that worth it if everything is a nightmare when we’re apart? If I could only figure out how to be around him without feeling drunk on love, then I might be able to sort… My thoughts
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 30 Mordred’s Escape
Caspian’s POVThe terror on my mate’s face makes me want to throttle Chase. What the hell happened to intercepting Viviane? I ask him through our link.I’m sorry. He answers immediately, I got distracted, her friend is–Her friend is not in danger of kidnap or a traumatic break, I cut him off. Get your shit together and start rounding up men for the search.Yes Alpha. His submissive tone sends a stab of guilt through my middle, but I can’t dwell on that now.“I don’t understand.” Viviane is saying beside me, her pulse hammering. “How did this happen? When did it happen?”It takes all my focus to ensure my glare lands solely on the enforcers in front of us, and remains far from Viviane. I’m desperately trying to compartmentalize my wrath towards them and support for her, but doing so seems less and less possible as the seconds drag out. “Would one of you gentlemen like to tell Ms. Belle of your ineptitude?”Flushed scarlet, the huddle of men hem and haw for a moment before one voice so
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 31 Secrets Revealed
Viviane’s POV“Viviane, what is this?” Kiera asks, twisting around in bed to observe all the pearls scattered among the sheets.“I–” Fresh tears hover on my lashes. Now that my cover is blown, I can’t seem to hold back my feelings anymore. Pearls drip from my skin like luminous stalactites. “I wanted to tell you.”“Tell me what?” Kiera asks, her cheeks flushed with color, “That you’ve been lying to me from the day we met?”“I didn’t have a choice.” I hiccup, “my mother made me promise never to tell anyone.”“Parents always have stupid rules like that.” Kiera brushes the excuse aside. “You were supposed to be my friend.” She reminds me emphatically, “Friends don’t keep secrets!”“You don’t know what it was like.” I explain desperately, “When we first came here it seemed like every shifter was against us.”“You and I were never like the others!” Kiera insists, rising from the bed and flipping on the bedroom light. “Do you think it mattered to me whether you were a cat or a mermaid?” She
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 32 Hunting Mordred
Chase’s POVMore than any other member of the pack, it is a Beta’s job to transform; to change shapes according to the moment at hand. We do not serve any one role, or know any limits to our responsibilities; we simply become whatever we have to be for the best of the pack. Our transformations go far beyond man and wolf, extending to mediator, guardian, enforcer, disciplinarian and anything else the Alpha might need.One day I will serve as a key negotiator between quarreling pack members, as well as a diplomat to our allies and enemies in other territories. When that time comes, I will also become the foremost proponent and enforcer of the Alpha’s rule within the Nightshade pack. But now my most frequent job is tempering Caspian’s violent mood swings and wild aggression.Caspian is no different from any other Alpha in this regard. The indomitable strength required to lead a pack of the Nightshade’s renown overflows in excesses of anger and hostility so volatile most shifters could no
Mermaid And Her Bad Boy Alpha #Chapter 33 Caspian Comes
Viviane’s POVHeavy footsteps pound up the stairs, and I jolt into a sitting position. Despite my mother’s advice, I hadn’t been able to call Caspian and tell him I disobeyed his orders. I couldn’t bring myself to face him yet. Instead I curled up on the couch and buried my face in my pillow, disappearing beneath my blankets and pretending I didn’t exist.In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t the best strategy, but it did give me a few hours of peace.A heavy knock lands on the door, and my heart races in my chest. The fact that Caspian hasn’t already greeted me through our bond is a bad sign. He must be even angrier than I anticipated.Mom swiftly opens the door, anxious for news. “Hello Caspian.” She says softly. It’s very odd to see them on good terms, and even stranger to think they’re allied against me. I know that isn’t a fair assessment, but I can’t help but feel ganged up on with the two of them standing side by side in the doorway, staring me down.“Marina.” He returns her
