Все главы The Hidden King: Глава 111 - Глава 120

I grabbed one of the pizza slices Alex collected from the guard. We were somewhat jealous. He had the ability to venture outside the pool as far as to the phone in the kitchen to make the order for pizza. That was not all, he didn't even have to go through a second transformation to accomplish all that. He did it while in his merman state. A talent he attained because unlike the rest of us, he didn't have a tail.Life was unfair. Prince Mitchalus analyzed it as that Alex still had his human genes, so he was unable to formulate a tail. That was not a bad thing. We did a few experiments to test out how good Alex was in this current form. He was excellent in everything except speed. We were faster than him in swimming. He could compensate by using his powers to heighten what his tail could have achieved.Still, Mia and Martin were the fastest of all of us. They originated from one of the pods in the Indian Ocean. Those were the fastest merfolks in the sea. No othe

Land folks! Whenever anyone talked about land folks, they were often described as complex creatures that tackled little tasks or difficulties each day. Some of these people called it chores. Others described their actions as work. The leisure things were hobbies. There were so many names and too many fascinating things.Those activities were not as dangerous as fighting sharks. Nonetheless, it was just as terrifying. The greatest part was with each activity, it was just as rewarding in the end. For example, cooking. Land folks would gather all the ingredients from powders to leaves. Eventually, these ingredients were used to turn into mouth-watering feasts that exploded with flavors in my mouth.I groaned just thinking about it. The best thing of all was when we got to that point where we could cook, we became something greater. An inventor. A creator. Now, here I was, standing in Prince Mitchalus's kitchen about to become something greater.A smile

"Look, I get your touching story, man," I rested my hand over my chest. "My heart goes out to you and your family. I do, but how does keeping me in this cave help you to be the 'King of Kings'?"Gramps was well known. Everyone wanted to be him. They all wanted to be the King of Kings. It was both amusing and annoying. I would have given these powers away a long time ago if it was possible.At that, the crowned merman laughed. It almost sounded evil. I was not too sure, I was too occupied with his girlfriend to pay much attention to him. She stared at me with more fascination than before. The hair on my skin stood on end."You will find out why you are here," he answered.I tried to not notice how the mermaid observed me. It didn't help when a chill ran down my spine."You can't do this without being punished," Shelly gritted out. "That power is not meant to be yours. What about your daughter? What will she think when she finds o

We all watched Alex pass the barrier to follow his mate. He couldn't be leaving when King Marvelon was like this. No, Alex promised we would protect him together. But, the sight of Alex walking away made me realize this was over. After all, it was his mate. Alex has yearned for her for so long. It was only natural he would leave with her. I couldn't say I was upset. If the tables were turned maybe my actions would be the same. Even while being upset with Prince Mitchalus, I couldn't get the willpower to not fulfill his needs."Fesel?" Prince Mitchalus's pleading got my attention. He banged on the magical barrier that trapped us from saving anyone outside the cage. "Fesel, please don't leave. Don't me."If this was some other time, then maybe jealousy would have consumed me. My mate begged for another mermaid not to leave, it was laughable. But, my emotions were running low. My tears were only falling for the man curled in a ball beside me. I had no right to be

I opened my eyes to sobbing. Aqualia tossed in the bed. Her eyes were still closed, yet the tears ran down her cheeks. I clasped her arm and pulled her into my arms.She snuggled into me, crying harder. "They're all dead. I'm alone. How can this be?"My grip tightened. This has become our morning routine. Aqualia would wake me with her cries of being alone. She confessed to me a while back that some mermaid showed her what transpired in the ocean. It didn't turn out as she hoped. Ever since, when she closed her eyes, it was the replay of the scenery she witnessed.Though I have not had a nightmare since Fel and I mated, I could still recall the deaths of my…Aqualia trembled and curled into the warmth of my body. The tears still flowed but her sobs stopped.Sometimes I wished the tears would come for me. No matter how hard I tried, they were all dried. The pain of my loss had numbed my emotions. I couldn't laugh or yell o
