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