Lake's POV

Lux and I exchanged a look, her eyes full of concern, but I couldn’t hold her gaze for long. My attention drifted to the girl standing behind us, and I still couldn’t find words to respond to her.

I knew I didn't want her sitting next to us, but what would be my reason for chasing her away? I wasn’t a confrontational person, plus, as far as she knew, I had no reason to dislike her.

She didn’t know I was gay or that something had happened between Kai and me, so she wasn’t aware that she did anything wrong. Regarding the kiss in the bathroom, I didn't know the whole story, and as I looked at her, my mind raced, desperately trying to piece together fragments of a memory that didn't exist.

I pictured everything Lux had described to me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember the incident.

Instead, I was left with this hollow, sick feeling in my chest. I felt violated in a way I couldn’t fully articulate. I wasn’t even a tiny bit attracted to women. I was gay, str

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 135: Privacy

    Third-party POVWithout further delay, Reed turned and swallowed, but Kairos's mother spoke before he could follow through. "I will go." He paused and she spoke again, "They are my sons and I can get there faster."It would be better if she went. Reed learned that night that Kairos and Darian fought and that even though he could breathe underwater, he didn’t fare well when caught in their storms.However, she was a woman and he was a man. It had to be him. “It should be me,” he said. “There are humans on that boat. If anything goes wrong-” She opened her mouth to protest, but he stopped her. “I’ll go. I’ll be fine, I promise.”Without saying anything else, he pulled his shirt over his head and bolted from the control room, racing to the lower deck. He was halfway to the edge, ready to dive, when he heard a splash behind him.Spinning around, his heart lurched in his chest as two heads breached the water, tails shimmering in the dim lighting, one pulling the other close. "Darian?" Reed

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 134: Fury

    Third-party POVRiley's gaze shifted to the rest of the guys, whose eyes widened as they too heard the rumble. It was low at first, like a distant growl echoing from the bottom of the ocean.One of the guys asked what was going on, his voice laced with panic as he looked at Riley, but Riley was also perplexed because the sea had lulled them into boredom with how calm it was just moments before, and now it appeared that everything had just shifted, as if it had woken up.The boat had a chartplotter connected to radar, AIS, and satellite overlays. He had scanned for any developing pressure systems or anomalies before deciding to spend the night on the boat.The systems allowed setting alerts for sudden shifts in pressure or temperature and there were no alerts. Riley was also aware that this area was not prone to sudden thunderstorms.He jerked his head toward the monitor and behind him, the other tense jumped into action, following him below deck into the small control room. “What the

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 133: Secrets

    Lake's POV"No," I responded quickly, cutting Alec off before he could say anything else. “Lux doesn’t know. And she will not know. Not until Reed tells her himself."I was already feeling heat on my face, my stomach twisting with regret from the look in his eyes. It made me realize what a huge mistake I had made in telling him.“I shouldn’t have said anything to you either. Alec, please don't say anything.""I won't," he interrupted before I could finish my sentence. But I still gave him the look that said, "I do not trust you not to mess things up." He caught it instantly.“I swear,” he added more firmly this time, holding my gaze. “I won’t say a word. Not to anyone.”I exhaled, the tension easing slightly, but I was not completely convinced. Nonetheless, I had to believe him. I had no choice.Alec leaned back against his pillows and ran his hand through his hair. “I just… I can’t wrap my head around all of this.”I opened my mouth to say something reassuring, but he didn’t give me

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 132: Mermaids and Mermen

    Lake's POV I was still frozen in place, staring at Kairos's mother, when Kairos stepped forward to break the tense silence.“Mother, you remember Lake?” She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes."Yes," she replied softly. "It is good to meet you again, Lake."Then, without another word, she turned and walked inside, Darian following closely behind her. Kairos exhaled as she disappeared from view.“I’m sorry,” he said, stepping closer. “I didn’t know she’d insist on coming with me. We tried to persuade her to stay back, but she refused to let Darian and me travel alone."I didn't let him finish and gently squeezed his hand in mine, glancing quickly over my shoulder to ensure no one was looking. “It’s okay. I understand. I think my body needs the rest anyway." I offered a weak smile as I remembered the strange pain that hit me earlier.I could see sadness in Kairos's eyes. He really wanted me to go, and I did too. However, it couldn't happen. Reed emerged from the cabin, running his ha

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 131: Campus Gods

    Lake's POV Alec handed the phone to Reed, who walked past Kairos and me. The doctor must have realized something important had happened because he quickly told me he would come check on me again, giving me a look that indicated he expected to find me in my room, and I nodded.He walked away, and Kairos dashed over to Reed and Darian, who reviewed the footage. I didn’t miss how his eyes got misty. Reed turned to me and asked Alec to excuse us, motioning for Kairos and Darian to follow, who wasted no time.But I trailed behind them, giving Alec a grateful look that he didn’t say anything, but the look he gave me I still couldn’t describe. I could tell he was still reeling from what I had told him.I needed to inform Kairos that I had told him before Reed or Darian discovered that he knew. We got outside and Reed talked about their encounter with Riley and his group at the beach, adding that they were clearly going after Mira.The time on the video was before 3 am, which means Kairos wa

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 130: Spooked

    Kairos's POVMy brother's voice, which had taken off behind me the moment he saw Reed and me running back, echoed behind me, asking what was going on, to which I replied that I had no idea yet.As I responded, Reed reached Riley and them and asked what they were doing, telling them they were not supposed to ride their boats on this side because it was close to private property, but Riley told him to back off, claiming they were not on private property now.He went on to say that what they were doing had nothing to do with Reed, who rushed forward, forcing the other guys to stand between Riley and him.Riley's face lit up with a smirk. “You don’t fucking own the world, Crest!” he spat, climbing onto the boat while one guy answered Reed, saying they were just going diving.“Don’t tell him shit! The fuck we're doing has nothing to do with his ass!” Riley spat once more while my heart raced and my eyes locked on Reed's, ready to grab this bloody boat and throw it out of this damn water be
