I wasn't sure how to."One that's taken me over a month to secure." I said finally.Gabriel watched me. "That's why you've been meeting with the fairies." He said softly, the pieces of the last week clicking for him. "Why you helped those mermaids."I nodded. "I needed things from them." I gestured to my bag at his feet. "Don't touch it, but you can open it."He hesitated for a moment, looking at me as I stared out into the dark road.He re

The First Mate Seventy Eight
Silvena rose from her stop in front of the fire, her ethereal glow mixing with the fires orange and gold lights. "How?" She asked curiously, seeing I put the note into my new version of Dracula as a bookmark. The library door opened, Dane putting his head in, following my scent to find me. He smiled, seeing I was curled up in the den. "Hi, baby." He said softly, coming in when I raised my hand for him to join me. "Hi," I smiled, he interlaced his fingers with mine, sitting down next to me and kissed my forehead. I sighed at his touch, raising my head to meet Silvena's annoyed, but waiting, expression. She found the key. I said to her, turning to see Theo and Xavier trying to creep into the room unnoticed.They both stepped on their tiptoes, their hands raised and elbows bent."You're really bad T-Rexes." I noted.Xavier set his feet, clawing his hands and let out a screech, stomping across the room at me while I laughed at

I didn't believe in the old gods.But Roxanna had. Her memories and things she'd given to Gabriel to store in the Tombs, helped me start to believe the stories. Before the Goddess, before the Realms were split in three:The Earthen, Fey and Under. There were the Five Gods. Humans had tales of them throughout history as legends and fables. They shared the world, allowing their lines to bleed into each other without restraint. There was no time of peace. Only survival. Cthulhu was one of the Five, The God of the Deep. He controlled the seas, the creatures and the nightmares that hid in the caverns in the core of the oceans. Alongside him, there were the the God of Spirits, Weavers, Fiends and Fey. Their children fought for centuries. Greed, lust, hatred and pride drove them to near extinction. The Gods themselves clashed in the a final battle when the lands became weak and they saw the chance for one to rei
The First Mate Seventy Five
Theo gave a small chuckle and moved to sit behind me on the steps, his knees either side of me and supported me."We all know I'm at the top." He said with great confidence. "Right, Rosie?" He kissed the top of my head.I giggled, holding my hands up in a surrender. "I'll let you guys fight this out on your own. Survivor gets their boo-boos kissed."They gave minor nods of agreement and fell quiet around me while I read.Some of it aloud, more just to hear the words and try and decipher the paragraphs of veiled texts and words of the Sea Realm.Xavier brought a chicken sushi platter, rice and miso soup for me, making everyone else steak, fries and gravy.Even Gabriel are with them, not that he required human food to sustain him, but he enjoyed the flavours and had a sweet tooth he tried to hide.Xavier's and my cooking were something he had yet to refuse.Theo had made a joke about my food not being real sushi."Raw fish is gross." I turn

I looked back at the book. "But why? It's too dangerous....if it's even true." Theo's brow furrowed "What do you mean, Red? What kind of dark magic?" I scowled at the nickname I'd asked to be called in a delirious episode earlier when Theo had played with my hair. He gave a small, but tight, smirk at my expression. I hesitate, unsure how to word the paragraph I read without sounding insane."It's in the temple of Cthulhu. The pearl is linked to its power." I looked up at them "But that's impossible, isn't it? Cthulhu is just a myth, a legend.'Xavier sighed, crossing his arms."Not to the Merfolk, it's not. They believe in the old gods, and the horrors that lurk beneath the waves."Gabriel's ruby eyes met mine, "And you, darling? What do you believe?"I take a deep breath, my heart racing. 'I believe we need to be careful." I turned the page, finding the passage of reason. " I'm the only one who can
The First Mate Seventy Four
I searched for another stack of tomes to the pile in the plush cushions of the concaved den of the downstairs library.I was surrounded by the musty scent of old books and the gentle hum of masculine energy that radiated through my body as I still felt the effect of my Heat.My mates watched me with varying degrees of concern and fascination, their eyes never straying far from me as I moved about the library slowly, finding books and archived notes I thought might have what we need.Dane and Theo had returned yesterday, but I'd been so exhausted, I slept through them taking me from my hiding spot of comfort in the office where Dane and Theo's scents were strongest from their time in it the last few weeks.I woke up to them both holding me, I'd thought I was having a delirious moment again, that they weren't really there. I woke Dane up from crying, his arms and warmth surrounded me as he whispered my name and kissed me. Theo awoke, reassuring me they were r
The First Mate Seventy Three
Theo stepped forward, raising his hands for a moment. "We mean no harm to you, elder. But we must find Jordon. He is using your portals to enter our realm, and we will stop at nothing to protect our own."The elder nodded, understanding in their eyes. "Very well. I will reveal the locations of the portals. But, you must grant us a favor." My brow rose, analysing the words, thankful Rose had spent some time lecturing us on how Fey enjoyed veiled speech. "You want this favour first." I stated.The elder gave a sharp toothed grin. "You're clever." The Queen's expression turned guarded, her voice lowering. "What is it, elder?"The elder's smile grew wider. "Oh, just a small task. You see, we've had a...treasure go missing. A precious pearl, passed down through our royal line. We believe it's been stolen by a group of rogue merfolk."Theo's eyes narrowed. "And you want us to retrieve it."The
The First Mate Forty Seven
[Rose] I hummed softly, poking the sunny side up eggs, checking the bacon wasn't too cooked and moved about the quiet kitchen as dawn peaked through the windows. I opened most of the curtains, wanting to rid the room of so many shadows, my legs shaking slightly everytime I peered into one.

[Xavier] I sensed it before I saw it - like a thick fog of sweetness that carried on the air as I moved downstairs, looking for Rose. I felt the tension in her ease, lulling to the comfort of her mates - making herself at home and finding how she effortlessly belonged. And there she was, p

[Unknown] I watched from the shadows outside the room - I know it was was dangerous. But I had to know - I had to see her. Now, watching her, being so close my chest warmed for the first time in what felt like centuries. I knew. It was her. The same copper tone and bright blue eye

My bones crunched, my muscles spasming and a low whine escaped me, still unused to the feeling of Shifting. Of my body shortening and the world around me enlarging. Annie giggled. A big world just means more places to explore. She said, sounding lighter than normal as she rose. I sunk back
