00:01the night i was to tell him about our baby my merman cut my heart open seraphina needs your
00:06blood see this as your payment for tearing us apart when i woke up again i was at the auction
00:14with seraphina the mate claim is our clan's law a woman standing rises and falls entirely with
00:19the merman she's bonded to so last life when i was maneuvered into taking seraphina's leftover
00:24a merman whose tail hung in broken scales i had no choice i bled my heart essence for
00:2949 days before he was barely healed i hunted abyssal cores at every turn pouring them into
00:35him to elevate his bloodline yet the first thing he became the siren king was to kill me his mate
00:39as well as our unborn baby this is my second chance i won't make the same mistake i want this
00:45one
00:45seraphine's voice cut me back to the present she pointed towards the enormous tank in front of us
00:50she chose silas my eyes found silas instantly cowering at the very back of the holding tank
00:56a merman's greatest pride is his tail every other tail in that water prison shimmered rippling
01:01like silk ribbons in a dark current silas's tail was stripped nearly bare scales shed down to raw
01:07ragged flesh seraphina pack heiress and eldest daughter exactly as she had in our last life
01:14gestured lazily toward the two mermen at the back
01:29in my last life i had believed every word mermen didn't come cheap and i had assumed even seraphina
01:38wouldn't deliberately choose the most broken creature in the tank but she had she had actually
01:43purchased the barely breathing silas our father had erupted in fury over it father alora picked him
01:50herself you know how she is i only paid i chose the strong one i'm taking mine now and just
01:59like that
01:59the half-dead wreck called silas had been handed to me this life i would not fall for a single
02:04word and
02:04called my bid before she could speak take what you want seraphina i pointed at the stone-faced
02:10merman in the corner i want that one
02:19it didn't matter who i chose if i turned the broken helpless silas into a siren king
02:24i could do it with anyone every creature in this tank would surpass him with the right hand guiding
02:29them this time i just wanted one who would be loyal seraphina's smile thinned when she realized
02:34the hook hadn't landed alora you gave us a fixed amount if you use it all what's left for me
02:38i
02:38gave her a single flat look how had i spent an entire lifetime missing how well she could perform
02:43she had engineered this from the start push the broken merman onto me keep me weak keep herself on
02:48top her trap had been set the moment we walked through these auction doors i stared straight at
02:52silas who was pressing himself against the tank wall performing desperately for any buyer that one
02:57doesn't look bad feed him right and he might amount to something if you really can't afford your pick
03:03buy him seraphina laughed sharp and incredulous i wouldn't want him to warm my bed i smiled but
03:09there was nothing warm in it or silas in our last life he had actually believed i was the one
03:13who
03:13separated them he had never known that seraphina wouldn't have had him on a bet as in our last
03:17life seraphina claimed her merman jace without hesitation but as i walked out with my merman
03:23kaylin something slammed against the walls of the holding tank silas thrashing is he trying to get
03:28someone's attention broken thing like that i glanced at silas's frantic movement then at seraphina
03:34who had gone very still had silas also been reborn his panic made sense the woman he had spent his
03:40whole life loving had just walked away without him i caught the fractured blue of his eyes through
03:45the water and smiled when a dream you've chased for a lifetime shatters in an instant that has to
03:49hurt this life no one punished me for leaving silas behind kaylin stood before me his tail slapping
03:55the floor in slow rhythmic strikes can you shift to human form he pressed his lips together and pulled
04:02the tail in obedient but clearly reluctant unlike the others there was no relief on his face no
04:10gratitude for being purchased looking closer his blue eyes held something else entirely cold detachment
04:15and a pride that hadn't been broken yet you don't want to come home with me kaylin glanced at me
04:19once and said nothing as far as i know the holding tanks run on hierarchy without a buyer you fight
04:25every day just to hold your rank i can protect that rank right now he moved to the chair farthest
04:30from
04:30me and sat i'm not the wreck who got his tail beaten to pieces one sentence and i was already
04:36smiling
04:36he was right for a merman to have his tail destroyed like that what was that if not useless
04:40if you don't want to stay the door is open
04:46something flickered in kaylin's blue eyes he was tempted i could see it before he could act on it
04:51i stood up what are you doing since you don't want to be here i'll go select a different merman
04:58i'm building a siren king i have no room for someone with a divided heart in my peripheral vision
05:03kaylin looked at me with something new on his face becoming the siren king was every merman's deepest
05:08ambition he had the raw power but raw power could be cultivated in anyone a backstabber like silas
05:14wasn't worth the investment the auction is over i turned and smiled at him a family that can afford
05:19a merman a senelmest in the first place you think we worry about finding another one
05:26the next several days i left early and returned late kaylin hadn't left but i needed my own contingency
05:33plans what i didn't expect the moment i stepped onto the street that afternoon silas came staggering
05:39toward me lara why didn't you take me he threw his arms around my legs take me with you please
05:49you were always supposed to choose me my heartbeat stuttered exactly once what did you just say
05:55lara look at me are you really not choosing me silas gripped my legs tightly with both hands
06:03that confirmed it silas had been reborn too but if he got a second life why was he coming to
06:08me
06:08instead of running straight to serafina i shook him off without expression what are you rambling
06:13about who is your owner don't come grabbing at strangers in the street i turned to walk away
06:19but silas chased after me recklessly following closely in haste i was half a second from losing
06:24my composure then i caught sight of kaylin following at a distance behind me my eyes shifted calculating
06:38your tail is badly damaged did the other mare shifters in the tank do this to you
06:44silas blinked then nodded quickly in my peripheral vision kaylin had drawn several steps closer
06:51i ran my fingers along silas's damaged tail the same way i had in our last life every wound on
06:57his body
06:57had been healed by my hand i knew exactly where the pressure felt good and where it burned
07:02so when i pressed just right a shutter rolled through silas's entire body he kept leaning into
07:08me breathless master will you take me home i curved my lips of course i
07:16before i could finish kaylin launched forward smashed silas away with its tail
07:20he slammed him violently onto the street five meters away he planted himself in front of me
07:25jaw set i haven't left yet silas hit the pavement and couldn't get back up
07:30several failed attempts then stillness
07:36i blinked at kaylin with wide eyes
07:39was that really necessary
07:43didn't you say you were leaving
07:46why stop me from finding another merman the hands hanging at kaylin's sides curled into slow
07:51fists i'm not leaving satisfaction curved my mouth upward mermen had their own will
07:57every one of them needed to be one not forced he had taken the first step i would accept the
08:03olive
08:04branch as for silas he dragged himself upright and crept forward again master you agreed just now
08:15you were going to take me i slung my arm over kaylin's shoulder and gave silas a bright little
08:20wave sorry i changed my mind silas opened his mouth to protest and moved one step forward
08:27kaylin's tail cracked down onto the pavement directly in front of him one more step and the next thing
08:33that breaks will be your bones when the tail lifted i looked at the cracked stone beneath it
08:38kaylin was without question in another league from silas
08:41event another betrayal i forced kaylin through the blood bond ritual you can actually make me
08:46siren king i said nothing a master speaks she doesn't explain herself in my last life i had
08:51poured everything into making silas a king and forgotten to make myself stronger first
08:56if kaylin performed the title was his if he showed one flicker of divided loyalty he would
09:01spend this lifetime as nothing but a bed warmer if you don't want to walk out then don't i turned
09:06to
09:06leave but before i'd taken a single step kaylin drew a blade across his own tail and pressed the blood
09:11from it i'll do it after the bond sealed kaylin stood beside me stiff and stilted i'm your merman now
09:18up close a faint flush had crept across his pale face oddly endearing i tilted my chin toward the bed
09:26go lie down just to watch his reaction kaylin's face went a deeper red he shuffled to the bed one
09:34careful step at a time and let his bleeding tail hang off the edge so it wouldn't stay in the
09:38sheets
09:39what are you doing the crimson flooding his face nearly made me laugh all that menace and this was
09:45what was underneath it i ran a deliberate hand along his tail you know the custom when our family brings
09:50home a mermond there's a mate claim which means technically you're my husband now kaylin said
09:55nothing but the moment my fingers made contact his tail gave a small involuntary shiver our eyes met
10:01and something in his expression shifted a quiet resignation and he closed his eyes a soft laugh
10:06escaped me as i turned and reached for the medical kit with his eyes still shut i leaned in and
10:12blew a
10:12gentle breath across his bleeding wound does it hurt kaylin's tail began to sway side to side in small
10:19helpless arcs in merman body language that meant only one thing pleasure i packed the wound and
10:24settled back into my chair stay out of water for a few days it'll heal less painful now the flesh
10:30hadn't left kaylin's face he darted one glance at me and turned to look pointedly at the wall
10:34hiris doesn't belong on my tail then why was it still swaying once his tail healed we fell into a
10:41daily
10:41training rhythm unlike my last life this time i trained too what kind of woman builds a siren king
10:47and leaves herself defenseless we hadn't been at it long when seraphina arrived with her merman jace
10:53my little sister so committed you've thrown yourself into the sparring too you spent so long choosing at
10:57the auction i expected something impressive but honestly he's not even half of what my jace is i
11:01stopped and looked at seraphina and jace without expression jace was built impressively yes but in
11:07our last life he had been thoroughly ordinary and seraphina was no handler after her mate claim our father
11:13had handed house authority to me instead i said nothing but kaylin stepped in front of me
11:17huh a mermaid challenging me let me make this clear i am this family's pack heiress and when the time
11:25comes i run this house jace teach him jace lunged kaylin moved without urgency he even had time to guide
11:33me to a clear position before turning to face the attack good i wanted to see what he could actually
11:39do
11:39the two of them clashed hard but within a handful of exchanges it was obvious jace was losing ground
11:45seraphina who had opened with absolute confidence kill him just kill him why are you holding back
11:51finish him and i'll take the blame jace showed no visible improvement but kaylin had stopped pulling
11:56his strikes he was half a second away from crushing jace's shoulder completely no seraphina screamed
12:01how dare you alara look at what your pet did to my immersion i smiled seraphina weren't you the one
12:09who let jake started you were screaming at him to kill kaylin everyone present heard you seraphina
12:14couldn't win the argument so she crossed the floor and put herself in my face if jace is injured i
12:19will
12:19have father come down on you so hard he crossed a fortune i held her gaze for a long moment
12:23then told
12:24kaylin to let jace go smart girl eldest is eldest no matter what this house will never be yours to
12:31run
12:32she snatched jace by the arm and swept out hurling curses the entire way i should have finished him
12:37what's the rush seraphina had taken her first loss she would come back with real hatred now
12:42let her rage let her spiral the one who goes mad first loses everything seraphina began watching me the
12:48way a predator watches an open wound i had expected her to undermine me in front of our father what
12:53i
12:54hadn't expected she had brought silas home and put into work as a house servant the moment he blocked
12:59my path in the corridor and begged my step stuttered how are you here seraphina stepped out from around
13:05the corner smiling with our father right behind so the rumors are true i stared at her what rumors
13:13father's father's expression was stone elora you already have a mate claim why are you still tangled
13:18up with him your sister was fortunate enough to run into him today she brought him here to keep him
13:22quiet otherwise your reputation would be ruined i had no words seraphina strolled toward me with pure
13:29delight on her face hooking silas's chin up with the toe of her shoe little sister he's been asking around
13:34outside trying every connection he has to get through our gates to reach you you should have said something
13:39if there was something between you two you could just bought him at the auction why bother bringing
13:44kaylin home the more she talked the darker father's face became lara clean this up or get out of this
13:51house he turned and left without another word seraphina beamed at me my capable little sister take your
13:58time sorting it out silas knelt half on the floor his face tilted up toward mine his eyes full of
14:09naked wanting you love being near me that much then stay better to keep him where i could watch him
14:15than to throw him out blind in this life without my heart essence silas surviving at all was already
14:21uncertain he started drifting through every room i occupied kaylin on the other hand had gone cold on
14:26me again when i cornered him in the back garden one morning you're coming to me right now shouldn't
14:30you be with that pathetic silas that whole scene on the street was staged you two tricked me into the
14:36blood bond kaylin's tail hit the ground in sharp irritated slaps i watched him with genuine interest
14:41you already bonded there's no running from that the real question is do you still want to be siren king
14:49he gave me a flat suspicious look like i was setting another trap there's a merman tournament in two
14:54months whether you become searing king depends entirely on what you do with that time really there's
15:00truly nothing between you and that merman i was half a breath from swearing on it kaylin finally let
15:06out a grudging huff and fell into step beside me we drilled repeatedly in the draining field while silas
15:11kept finding reasons to wander past let me break his tail see how he walks after that kaylin
15:20i have plans for him all that heart essence i'd fed him in our last life was not going to
15:26be wasted he
15:26walked right up to us what happened next was on him that evening i had silas called to my room
15:32to serve
15:32the siren king of my last life was now on his knees at my feet cradling a basin of water
15:37his injuries were
15:38severe enough that he swayed every few minutes barely holding himself upright you're not well i kept my
15:44voice casual almost bored the annual merman tournament was weeks away silas had to be crawling
15:49out of his skin in our last life with my help he had claimed the siren king's title a man
15:54who had sat
15:55at the top of the world does not quietly accept kneeling on someone's floor so no matter what it
15:59cost him he would endure because he still needed my heart essence silas sad sideways onto the floor
16:05his voice then my tail was damaged in the holding tank it never healed properly
16:12what would it take to fix it this house doesn't keep idle staff silas looked at me testing the water
16:18a human's heart essence 49 days of it taken in doses only then will i heal
16:26i said nothing right now he was nothing but a servant when i didn't react
16:30he coughed twice i know i'm useless all i ask in this life is to stay near you
16:38i would never dare dream of your heart essence why are you so set on staying near me silas studied
16:45my
16:46face searching for the lie my expression was open guileless there was nothing for him to find once he
16:51was certain i wasn't performing he shook his head with a face full of grief you don't remember me
16:56you saved my life once mermen repay their debts and that is why i stay even knowing that you and
17:03kaylin as long as i can see you live well i have no regrets i dug my fingernail into my
17:11own palm hard
17:12enough to leave a mark and i did not slap him gratitude and loyalty he had taken my trust and
17:17stabbed me with
17:18a knife and here he was performing it with shining eyes and a breaking voice if i didn't still carry
17:25every memory from our last life i might have believed him i ranged my face into something soft and moved
17:31just 49 days of heart essence and you'd be fully healed silas's eyes lit up the hunger behind his eyes
17:39was obvious but he was working hard to swallow it yes but alara it hurts to draw heart essence i
17:50let a
17:50pause stretch then spoke carefully i can save your life but once you're healed you will not come near
18:00me again something flickered across silas's face a flash of injury but he agreed almost immediately
18:08agreed i won't come near you he bowed his head and behind his back i finally allowed myself to smile
18:16my heart essence is not so easily given starting the next morning i sent kaylin out each day to buy
18:22fresh chicken blood from the market diluted with water the smell was manageable to make sure he
18:27couldn't detect the switch i dissolved several herbs into the mixture he needed to see results
18:32or he wouldn't keep believing silas drained bowl after bowl his brow creasing tighter every time
18:37alara this heart essence tastes strange i immediately let hurt flood my expression blood is never going to
18:44taste good i cut open my own chest for you if you don't like it i'll just throw it out
18:48silas did not
18:49dare he tilted the bowl back and licked it clean alara this kindness is something i'll carry forever i wish
18:54were the one you chosen i could spend my life at your side repaying this i pulled my face into
18:58something
18:59pained and troubled it's already a significant problem for me you heard what father and seraphina
19:03said that day i kept talking watching him in my peripheral vision when i mentioned seraphina
19:08not a trace of longing crossed his face what appeared instead was something close to hatred
19:12i had died in our last life before seeing what came after but judging by his face now the siren
19:18king's reign had not ended well for him either still none of that is your fault seraphina has
19:24always had it out for me she's simply using your situation to make me look bad the hand silas had
19:29rested on the table tightened into a fist without him noticing looking at the locked muscle in his
19:34jaw i knew i'd guessed right alara don't worry i won't be a burden to you good because in this
19:41life
19:42he didn't come close to deserving to be my problem silas stopped haunting my rooms as much
19:46lately he'd been gravitating towards seraphina's wing instead he had taken what i said to heart
19:50if he could be a blade i aimed at her that was at least partial penance for the last life
19:55to keep
19:55him from noticing anything off kaylin and i had shifted our training sessions to my room at night
20:02faster every merman in that tournament fights to kill if your speed isn't there you'll walk in and
20:08get carried out i finished and waved him over come on spa with me
20:16kaylin smiled and it was absolutely contemptuous get over here before the words finished leaving
20:23my mouth he was already in front of me fast enough that i couldn't track how he'd moved
20:29how did you before i could finish he pressed the attack i dodged twice barely and then my footing
20:35slipped and i went backwards kaylin's sharp inhale his hand caught my waist i was fairly certain he did it
20:42on purpose the momentum carried us both down onto the bed together pinned beneath him my heartbeat
20:47stopped being something i could control those blue eyes flickered and without a word he locked both my
20:52wrists above my head silas gets to come to your room at night why don't i he had found out
20:57about silas
20:58coming every night to drink simus has business kaylin didn't move the heat of his breath spreading across
21:07my neck his tail reached out and drew the bed curtain closed he said low and certain master you're the
21:15one
21:15who said i'd be your husband by the time my legs had gone completely weak kaylin was still murmuring in
21:22my
21:22ear asking whether i wanted him or silas i gave some incoherent answer while internally screaming
21:29about how unfair it was that this infuriating merman had a body like that a month later jace's tail
21:35collapsed seraphina tore through the house like something feral jace lay on the bed the color of ash
21:45how does something like this just happen jace did you eat something where is your tail how are you
21:52supposed to compete with no tail are you even a merman anymore father please find someone to look at
21:58him the tournament troll is almost here and i've put everything into him father's brow furrowed but he
22:05nodded the merman physician examined jace set down his wrist and left shaking his head the tail looks
22:11intact from the outside but they've already begun to dissolve within three days his skeleton will be
22:16nothing but fluid jace threw himself at the physician in a frenzy so violent he rolled off the bed
22:22seraphina stared at the wall repeating impossible to no one after she sent the physician out
22:29she lunged straight at me and kaylin stepped between us before she got close
22:36alotta this was you wasn't it you've always been jealous of jake's talent terrified he'd become
22:42siren king and you'd never get above me so you did this to him you destroyed my merman i will
22:47ruin
22:48you you can die father walked in on those exact words enough enough father's voice cracked like a
22:53whip and seraphina went silent seraphana i genuinely have no reason to hurt your mermint whoever ends up as
22:59siren king kaylin outwells jace so completely that jake was never a competitor we even considered so
23:05why would i bother seraphina tried to erupt again and father shut her down what's done is done stay in
23:13your rooms and rest you're not competing in the tournament as for that useless mermaid that's your
23:19problem to solve both jace and seraphina went white a merman without a tail turned out of this house
23:25what were the odds of survival and seraphina without a merman had just lost every card she held
23:34when silas came to drink that evening the good mood was written all over him
23:37he looked at me like he was offering something seraphina won't be able to take anything from
23:42you anymore i handed him the bowl he was nearly through the full course now i had increased the
23:46herbal dose recently and silas did look genuinely better visibly stronger but it was all surface the
23:52herbs were keeping a thread of life taught the moment he exerted himself past a certain point
23:56the crisis would hit without warning when it did a hundred days of true heart essence wouldn't save
24:01him that business with jace that wasn't you was it i let my eyes go wide with something that looked
24:07like
24:07awe how did you manage it so cleanly he just fell apart i asked he turned coy for your sake
24:14there's
24:14nothing i wouldn't do i turned away and let out a quiet cold laugh the only reason he knew how
24:19to do
24:19any of this was because he had been siren king once before his body was a wreck but the dirty
24:24knowledge
24:24that had stayed he drained the bowl and licked his lips with slow satisfaction behind him his tail
24:30flicked out in a slow arc showing off after he left kailyn stepped out of the shadows his expression
24:36was set and watchful alara he's dangerous why are you helping him i stared at the red stained bowl
24:43and let the question hang before i turned it back on him what makes you think i'm helping him
24:49kailyn paused and i pressed immediately the tournament is in three days do you believe you can take the
24:54crown he reached back and closed his hand over mine if my master wants it this badly i'll throw my
24:59life
24:59on the line to win it that genuinely inconveniently made my face go red i had assessed every merman in
25:05that tournament as long as kailyn fought at his actual level this was already decided on the day of the
25:10tournament father came with us along with seraphina i hadn't seen silas at the house since the day
25:15before he had entered then he had to have kailyn this match carries the family's name and standing
25:20give everything you have understood father's voice was low and firm seraphina twisted her mouth to the
25:26side but unusually she said nothing i glanced at her sideways with the particular unease of someone who
25:32knows a quiet snake is worse than a loud one right before kailyn was called to the arena floor
25:37seraphina pulled a handkerchief from her bodice and moved to wipe his face kailyn never allowed
25:42strangers close to him he stepped back immediately seraphina's hand hung in empty air the moment
25:48crystallizing into something awkward and ugly little sister look at this merman of yours i'm just
25:56wiping some sweat if he becomes siren king it reflects on all of us doesn't it how petty
26:05huh helpful i laughed hollow and bright and took the handkerchief out of her hand and dragged it
26:11across father's face what stop the way seraphina's words failed completely confirmed what i already
26:17suspected about that cloth so i scrubbed harder what's wrong the tournament matters but father has
26:22been standing in the heat for us it's only right that i take care of him while i was still
26:26talking i
26:27pushed kailyn toward the arena entrance two months of work no one was going to dismantle it in the final
26:32seconds seraphina began shifting her weight watching her eyes kept cutting to father when he started
26:37to sway i understood a sedative she'd laced it with a sedative father are you all right father pressed
26:43a hand to his temple fine beads of sweat were already breaking out across his forehead you were
26:48fine a moment ago one wipe of a handkerchief and now this i was still asking when seraphina's
26:54composure cracked what are you insinuating father is just unwell what does my handkerchief have to do
27:04with anything father was already too disoriented to speak i turned to seraphina with a pleasant smile
27:10whether there's a problem or not we'll find out when we test it this time the drug had landed on
27:16father
27:16i couldn't see how he could look away from that seraphina's goal was simple enough her own merman was
27:21finished she simply refused to let kailyn compete but she had forgotten as long as someone brought
27:26glory to the family father never cared who that person was once the tournament started kailyn tore
27:31through the brackets and into the final rounds without breaking a sweat father was barely conscious
27:36neither seraphina nor i had time to tend to him when silas appeared on the arena floor seraphina's jaw
27:42dropped his tail was ruined he was a house servant why is he here then she seemed to grab hold
27:48of
27:49something his tail can heal does that mean jake still has a chance that was you wasn't it how did
27:56you heal him i tilted my head want to know feed him your own heart essence every day for 49
28:02days i told
28:03her the method with complete sincerity but the moment seraphina heard the words your own her entire face
28:09changed for a mermand i'll just buy another one but alara you healed simus just to watch him fight
28:17kailyn in the ring seraphina looked at me like she was watching something too stupid to pity i fixed my
28:22eyes on the arena and said nothing before we'd arrived i had given kailyn one instruction if you
28:27face silas in that ring don't stop until he can't get up
28:37all that chicken blood and herbs had been worth every drop silas and kailyn finally stood face to
28:43face kailyn rolled his shoulders once and charged without a word silas had looked formidable against
28:49everyone else but against kailyn he shattered instantly kailyn lifted silas over his head and
28:55brought him down hard onto the arena floor the scream that tore out of silas split the air of
29:00the entire stadium i was smiling in my peripheral vision seraphina had stopped being able to how is
29:06kailyn this strong less than a quarter of an hour into the match silas could barely crawl
29:13was still waiting waiting for the moment he pushed too hard and the blood came he spent everything he had
29:19just dragging himself back upright first thing he did when he was standing again was look for me in
29:25the crowd i turned my gaze away cold that manufactured devotion in his eyes was nauseating silas threw his
29:33head back and gathered himself for one total all-or-nothing strike at kailyn and then his hand flew to
29:38his
29:39own chest a rush of blood spilled from his mouth kailyn didn't need to finish him silas put himself on
29:46the
29:46ground seraphina kailyn won again by the end of the final matches his title as siren king was absolute
29:56across the crowd kailyn found me and held my gaze seraphina's back molars were going to crack under the
30:03pressure of her clenched jaw back at the house it took until the following morning for father's head to
30:09clear when he heard that kailyn had won the tournament and claimed the siren king title father was overcome
30:16he said good three times in a row it seems i can rest easy leaving the family in your hands
30:23before i could respond seraphina erupted father i am the pack high res this house should pass to me
30:30my merman was sabotaged otherwise the siren king would have been ours father delivered a few mild words of
30:37rebuke and seemed prepared to let the matter go i reached into my bodice and drew out the handkerchief
30:44father yesterday before kailyn's match seraphina tried to wipe his face with this cloth it contains
30:50a heavy sedative you only came to yourself this morning because of it this concerns the family's
30:58future seraphina's intentions are unforgivable father's expression went still and then ignited thank
31:08god kailyn stepped back if that cloth had touched him the siren king's crown would have gone somewhere
31:12else entirely you have spent your entire life competing with your sister and i have spent your
31:15entire life looking the other way but it is clear to me now that this family cannot be given to
31:20you
31:20are you really fanning over alara just because her merman won a tournament how dare you
31:29get back to your room seraphina you are forbidden from keeping a merman from this day forward
31:35seraphina was dragged out that last sentence had sealed every exit she had left without a merman
31:41what did she have left to use against me kailyn and i rose to a new position in the household
31:45one that would hold that night kailyn's tail moved in restless arcs across the bed are you going to
31:51sleep sleeping
31:59what did you say to simus after he went down
32:03i told him he'd been drinking chicken blood the whole time
