Mermaid’s Pearl Tear Fantasy Romance Dark Mermaid Love Story
Transcript
00:00My sister was thrown into a basin filled with pearls.
00:03Her enormous tail glowed a faint, eerie blue.
00:06Their hands grabbed at her body without care.
00:08Shimmering blue scales scattered across the ground.
00:11They didn't stop until they cut open her abdomen.
00:13They reached inside and searched until they pulled out a single mermaid's pearl, pulsing with pale light.
00:19All because the Alpha's bonded mate had heard a rumor.
00:22Deep in the southern waters lived a clan of mermaids.
00:25The clan's sacred daughter carried a legendary pearl in her body.
00:28If it was placed inside a human woman, she would radiate natural allure.
00:32Her beauty would never fade.
00:34The bonded mate had become obsessed.
00:36The Alpha, Kaelin, ordered the slaughter of the entire mermaid clan just to make her smile.
00:41That day the sea turned red as far as my eyes could reach.
00:44I hid beneath a submerged rock.
00:46My eyes stung with rage and salt water.
00:49I wept.
00:49My tears turned to pearls, each one stained red.
00:52The last thing I heard before she hid me was my sister's gentle voice.
00:56Evelyn, live.
00:57The world knew only one thing about our clan.
00:59The mermaid's sacred daughter carried a pearl passed down through generations.
01:04No one knew that this generation had produced two sacred daughters.
01:07One of them was born with natural mermaid enchantment.
01:10But her blood and flesh could also feed tens of thousands of hexes.
01:14That one was me.
01:15I endured the bone-deep agony and dragged myself to shore.
01:18I used an ancient mermaid rite to transform my tail into legs.
01:21Then I offered my own blood and marrow as a sacrifice to feed the hexes.
01:25Until a small black serpent flicked its crimson tongue and coiled around my wrist.
01:30It devoured thousands of venomous creatures.
01:32It became the hex king.
01:34Three months later, my dark magic was complete.
01:36I made my way to the Alpha's central pack lands.
01:39I disguised myself as a dancer and slipped inside his pack.
01:42Using a pouch of pearls formed from mermaids' tears, I bought information on the Alpha Kaelin's movements.
01:48That night, moonlight spread across the bank.
01:50I danced on the surface of the forest lake.
01:53My toes skimming the water and sending ripples of silver light outward.
01:56A sweet fragrance drifted from my body.
01:59Thousands of colorful moths followed the scent and circled around me, unwilling to leave.
02:04Kaelin stood there and stared for a long time.
02:06When my dance ended, I turned and met his gaze.
02:09My heart lurched.
02:10I quickly reached for my shoes and moved to leave.
02:12He called out and stopped me.
02:14You are one of the dancers?
02:15That dance was something.
02:16I have never seen it before.
02:18I kept my eyes down, pretending not to recognize him.
02:21It is a dance from my homeland.
02:23Few have ever seen it.
02:24It was early spring.
02:25The night wind was cool.
02:27My body trembled slightly from the cold.
02:29He seemed to notice.
02:30He pulled his coat and draped it gently over mine.
02:33I looked up at him with surprise.
02:35Warmth crept into my cheeks.
02:36I watched a flash of something stunned pass through Kaelin's eyes.
02:40He composed himself.
02:41My bonded mate loves to dance.
02:43Her birthday celebration is coming soon.
02:45You will perform this dance for her.
02:47I dropped to one knee on the ground.
02:49Forgive me.
02:50I did not know I was speaking to the Alpha.
02:52Kaelin waved his hand.
02:54His gaze stayed on my face.
02:55Rise.
02:56You are forgiven.
02:57Do not disappoint me or my mate.
02:59I thanked him and accepted the task.
03:01I watched his back as he walked away.
03:03I moved my fingers slightly.
03:04A tiny dark hex creature burrowed beneath his skin.
03:07By the next day, the story of the Alpha meeting a dancer at the moonlit grove had spread through
03:41the entire pack.
03:43Serafina was dangerously jealous.
03:45If my true face was exposed here, I would not survive.
03:48I knelt inside the room.
03:49I forced the hatred down.
03:51My lady, when I dance I will keep a thin silver mask.
03:54I would never cause you distress.
03:56Fine.
03:57With that face of yours you can't cause any real trouble anyway.
03:59Since it was the Alpha's idea, I'll allow-
04:02Serafina waved her hand.
04:03The older woman beside her led me out.
04:05The moment I stepped outside the room, I nearly collided with Kaelin arriving.
04:09He caught one glance at me.
04:11My face looked nothing like the woman he had seen the night before.
04:14He understood.
04:15If Serafina had seen my real face, he would have found a corpse, not a dancer.
04:19Kaelin's brow furrowed.
04:20A rare flash of anger toward his bonded mate.
04:23I let the corner of my mouth curve slightly.
04:25I returned to my room and wiped away the markings on my face.
04:28Serafina, you wanted natural beauty and endless allure, did you?
04:31No way.
04:32I was going to destroy you.
04:34The small black serpent slid silently up my wrist and flicked its tongue.
04:38I stroked its head gently and whispered,
04:40Soon, you will be the first one I send down to answer to my sister.
04:45The day of Serafina's birthday.
04:47Kaelin walked beside Serafina along the water's edge.
04:50You promised me a gift, Alpha.
04:52When will it arrive?
04:54Kaelin gave a signal.
04:55I dance on the lotus leaves.
04:57The fragrance rose again.
04:59Thousands of moths descended and danced around me.
05:02Everyone present went still.
05:03Eyes glazed with wonder.
05:05Only Serafina looked very jealous.
05:07As I moved, the thin mask slipped from my face.
05:10I looked at Serafina and smiled.
05:12The hatred in her eyes was so thick.
05:15When the dance ended,
05:16I offer my congratulations to our future Luna on her birthday celebration.
05:21May the Alpha and Luna love each other forever.
05:25Kaelin reached toward me and said softly,
05:27You did not disappoint me.
05:30My Alpha, I am very pleased with the gift you gave me.
05:34Kaelin replied coldly,
05:36Good.
05:36That night, the hex creature was working.
05:38It was shifting Kaelin's emotions.
05:40To avoid drawing attention,
05:42I moved my fingertip to call the hex creature back.
05:45Before I could,
05:46a man's voice cut through the crowd.
05:48Alpha,
05:50why not give this beauty to me
05:52as a gesture of goodwill between our packs?
05:55Kaelin looked toward the source of the voice.
05:57Who is speaking?
05:58Alpha.
05:59That is the Alpha of the Vyre Pack.
06:01Greetings, Alpha.
06:02I am Reich.
06:03If you are willing to give this woman to me,
06:05I will guarantee a hundred years of peace between our packs.
06:09Trading one dancer for lasting peace between packs
06:12was a bargain that looked good,
06:13no matter how you looked at it.
06:15Alpha,
06:16surely being bonded into the Vyre Pack
06:18would be the best outcome for this little dancer.
06:21I pretended to be weak.
06:23My eyes filled with tears.
06:25Something in Kaelin's chest seemed to twist.
06:27You are too late.
06:28She is already my bonded mate.
06:30Serafina's face went white.
06:32Kaelin?
06:33What'd you say?
06:34I said,
06:35she is my Luna.
06:37Next day,
06:38a formal mate decree arrived at my door.
06:40When I arrived at my new room,
06:42Serafina was already waiting.
06:44She slapped me on the face in a vicious smile.
06:46You dare deceive me?
06:48You little slut!
06:49If I hadn't,
06:50would I have lived long enough to dance?
06:52You think that showing your face to the Alpha
06:55and being Luna means anything?
06:56I will still kill you.
06:58Oh?
06:59So you have already planned how I die?
07:01A fire in your room.
07:03You burn.
07:04How careless.
07:05He and I bonded young.
07:07My father and brother fought battles for him.
07:09He will not punish me over one worthless life.
07:12Serafina's people tied my hands and feet
07:14and threw me to the ground.
07:16They poured oil around me on all sides.
07:18As the sparks fell,
07:19Serafina laughed openly.
07:21The Alpha is drunk tonight.
07:23No one in this whole territory can save you.
07:26I watched her leave.
07:27I smiled wickedly.
07:28The fire cocked.
07:29I killed every guard.
07:30Every guard at the door clutched his throat.
07:33Blood poured from their eyes and mouths
07:35as they collapsed.
07:36I walked out of the flames
07:37with the small black serpent in my arms.
07:39Following the path,
07:40the crawling insects on the ground laid out.
07:42I ran until I crashed into someone.
07:45I looked up at the person I had run into.
07:47Shocked.
07:48He looked toward the fire burning not far away.
07:50Who dared set fire in my territory?
07:53Find them!
07:53He was not really ignorant of who had done it.
07:56He was performing.
07:57As Serafina had said,
07:58her family had fought for his path.
08:00Kaelin was not going to genuinely punish Serafina
08:03over a dancer he had barely met.
08:05Kaelin, I am scared.
08:07Kaelin had truly been drinking.
08:09His face was flushed.
08:11His breath carried the warmth of it.
08:13I was a born mermaid with curves and big boobs.
08:16With the hex creature working on top of that,
08:18desire lit in Kaelin's eyes.
08:20He carried me back to his chambers.
08:22Word would reach Serafina quickly.
08:24Knowing her,
08:25she would not let it go.
08:27Sure enough,
08:28one of Serafina's attendants knelt outside.
08:31Alpha,
08:32Lady Serafina is unwell and asking for you.
08:35Sexily,
08:36my fingertips slowly traced across Kaelin's chest.
08:40Would you like to go to her,
08:42my Alpha?
08:43He stared at me.
08:44With you beside me,
08:45I cannot think of anyone else.
08:47I smiled with smug,
08:48his warm breath falling against my neck.
08:51The next second,
08:52he sank into sleep.
08:53A small,
08:53pale pink hex creature
08:54was still slowly working its way
08:56into his skin at his brow.
08:58I have woven you a beautiful dream.
09:01Enjoy it.
09:02I nicked my finger.
09:03I let blood drip onto a cloth.
09:05The rest I fed drop by drop
09:07between Kaelin's lips.
09:08Don't waste a single drop of this poison.
09:10The dose now is too small to cause damage.
09:12But fed slowly,
09:14day after day,
09:14it will eventually kill you.
09:16And this poison only I can cure.
09:18I counted the time
09:19and waited for Serafina's arrival.
09:21A thumbnail-sized spider.
09:22One of 10,000 living watchers
09:24I had placed throughout the pack.
09:26I smoothed my robe and walked out.
09:28Serafina stood outside the door.
09:30Behind her trailed a crowd of pack omegas
09:32and attendants.
09:33I stood before her
09:34and deliberately let my hair fall to one side
09:37to show the mark on my neck.
09:38The Alpha has retired for the night.
09:40Come back tomorrow.
09:41You worthless slit.
09:43I am going to kill you.
09:45Please calm yourself.
09:47You would not want to harm the child.
09:49Those words froze Serafina in place.
09:52Kaelin had promised her
09:53that if she bore the first heir,
09:54he would grant her the Luna title.
09:56Five years had passed.
09:58She had exhausted every remedy she could find.
10:01Healer after healer had come and gone.
10:03If she could not produce an heir,
10:04that title would never be hers.
10:06This was the wound she kept buried deepest inside her.
10:09Seize her! Beat her!
10:11I had just exposed it in front of everyone.
10:13No wonder she snapped.
10:15My lady!
10:16Please wait!
10:17Why not call a pack healer to examine you?
10:19I will say one more thing.
10:20That child in your womb,
10:22only I can protect it.
10:23Well, am I carrying?
10:25My lady,
10:26this is without question a pregnancy.
10:28Truly?
10:29I watched her face.
10:30I could not help thinking
10:31that even someone this ruthless
10:33could look this fragile.
10:35She cherished her child's life so much,
10:37yet she cruelly killed my sister.
10:39Is the pregnancy stable?
10:41My lady,
10:41by the signs it is strong and steady.
10:44There is no cause for concern.
10:45Serafina smiled when she heard that.
10:47Now that I am carrying,
10:48I should not be around blood.
10:49But you irritate me so much
10:51that killing you would satisfy me.
10:53Serafina gave an order.
10:54The attendants nearby stepped forward
10:56and grabbed hard at my arms,
10:58dragging me toward the door.
10:59I moved my fingertips slightly.
11:01The next second,
11:02Serafina clutched her abdomen
11:03and cried out.
11:05The healer rushed to check her pulse.
11:06My lady,
11:07please spare us.
11:08These are signs of a failing pregnancy.
11:10Serafina panicked.
11:12Now her face had gone white.
11:13If this child is lost,
11:14I will destroy everyone connected to you.
11:17Everyone connected to me?
11:18She had no idea
11:19that every soul connected to me
11:21had already been killed.
11:22Only I had dragged myself back
11:24from the edge of death
11:25to find her for revenge.
11:27I stepped forward
11:28and pressed a few points on her body.
11:30Serafina's color slowly improved.
11:32The healers checked again.
11:34The pregnancy appeared stable.
11:35The truth was,
11:36I knew nothing about healing.
11:38Serafina was never pregnant.
11:39The night she came to burn me alive,
11:41I had quietly placed a hex inside her.
11:44This particular hex
11:45could mimic pregnancy signs.
11:47In later stages,
11:48it would even produce
11:49the sensation of movement.
11:50But at the same time,
11:52it would torment her body
11:53day and night
11:54and drain her of nourishment.
11:56If I wanted her dead,
11:57she would die.
11:58But killing Serafina alone
12:00was not enough to satisfy
12:01what burned in me.
12:02The ones who had come
12:03to slaughter my clan that day,
12:05her brother's thick hands
12:06had run over my sister's tail.
12:08Scales and blood fell to the ground.
12:10My sister had broken into a cold sweat
12:12from the pain
12:13and made no sound.
12:15I looked at Serafina's pleased face
12:17and let a cold smile form.
12:19Every pain you put my sister through,
12:21I will visit it on you
12:22a hundredfold.
12:24When I returned to Caelan's chambers,
12:26he was still sleeping.
12:27I removed my outer layer
12:28and lay down beside him.
12:30I found myself wondering
12:31what expression he would make
12:32when he woke
12:33and heard that Serafina was pregnant.
12:35After all,
12:36he had long ago given her a tincture
12:38that would prevent her
12:39from ever-bearing children.
12:40Serafina's family had enormous power
12:42and controlled a large fighting force.
12:44If she actually produced an heir,
12:46her family's ambitions
12:47would be impossible to contain.
12:49Caelan did feel something genuine
12:51for Serafina,
12:52but genuine feeling meant nothing
12:54when weighed against power
12:55and survival.
12:56Caelan woke.
12:57Something in his eyes
12:58seemed to still be savoring the night.
12:59I stirred slowly under his gaze
13:01and smiled shyly.
13:02A man named Jonas
13:03knelt outside the door.
13:05Alpha,
13:06word came from Lady Serafina.
13:09The healer confirmed
13:10a pregnancy this morning.
13:11Has the news spread?
13:12My lord,
13:13Lady Serafina has already
13:15sent word to her father,
13:16the Gamma.
13:17I tactfully rose to leave.
13:19Caelan caught my hand.
13:20You wore yourself out last night.
13:22Rest here.
13:24I will have a better space
13:25prepared for you.
13:26I thanked him.
13:27I lay back on his bed
13:28and watched his back as he left.
13:30The game just began.
13:31Serafina's pregnancy
13:32had Caelan balancing pack politics.
13:34While also trying to deal
13:36with whatever was growing
13:37inside her.
13:38No one had attention
13:39to spare for me.
13:40This was the perfect moment
13:41for revenge.
13:42The alpha of the veer pack
13:44from the celebration,
13:45Riker,
13:45was the blade
13:46I intended to use.
13:47I wanted more than
13:48just these few deaths.
13:50I want to bring
13:50your whole power structure down.
13:52I wrote a short message
13:53and let the black serpent
13:54carry it between his jaws.
13:55It followed scent
13:56until it reached Riker.
13:57The days of waiting
13:58moved quickly.
13:59One afternoon,
14:00an attendant from Serafina's wing
14:01knocked on my door.
14:02Lady Serafina is in severe pain.
14:05She is asking you
14:06to come and look at her.
14:07I stroked the black serpent
14:08and cut it into my pocket.
14:10Inside her room,
14:10the incense was overwhelming.
14:12It did not mask
14:12the smell of blood.
14:13Caelan had made his move.
14:15Too bad there was
14:15no actual child inside her.
14:17No matter how strong
14:18the tincture,
14:18it only made Serafina suffer.
14:20There was nothing real
14:21to destroy.
14:22The night I had helped her
14:23with the pregnancy,
14:23I had kept that from Caelan.
14:25I stood at Serafina's bedside,
14:27watching her face
14:28crumple with pain,
14:29and drew out
14:29a bottle of medicine.
14:30The hex creatures
14:31had not been affected.
14:33Inside Serafina,
14:34they continued to grow.
14:35Can my child survive?
14:37I checked her without concern
14:39and told her,
14:40Yes,
14:40but you will have to
14:41endure some pain.
14:43She looked at me weakly.
14:44Evelyn,
14:45if you dare deceive me,
14:48my father and brother
14:49will make you pay.
14:50I grabbed her hand tightly.
14:52She was in agony,
14:53but could not cry out.
14:54She could only glare at me
14:56with red eyes.
14:56I was honestly curious
14:58how her father and brother
14:59planned to come after me.
15:01I had given Riker
15:02a handful of hex creatures
15:03and told him to find a way
15:05to place them
15:05in the food and drink
15:06of Serafina's father and brother.
15:08They commanded a force
15:10posted at the pack's border.
15:11Once the hex took hold
15:12in the lead fighters,
15:14morale would collapse.
15:15Their entire fighting force
15:17would stop being beat.
15:18Serafina had already
15:19collapsed with exhaustion.
15:21I motioned to the entrance,
15:23let the healer
15:23come in to check her,
15:24but the person who came in
15:26alongside the healer
15:27was Kaelin.
15:28The healer checked Serafina.
15:30Kaelin and I stood to one side.
15:32I was not aware
15:33you had this kind of skill.
15:35An old remedy from Homeland.
15:36I hope the alpha
15:37finds it amusing.
15:39I had ruined his plan.
15:40Punishment was likely.
15:42I was thinking through
15:43how to demonstrate my loyalty
15:44when the healer finished
15:46and spoke.
15:46Lady Serafina's child
15:47has been preserved.
15:49Kaelin's expression
15:49was terrible,
15:50but he composed himself,
15:52walked to the bedside,
15:53and took Serafina's hand.
15:55You have suffered.
15:57For you and for the child,
15:58it is nothing.
15:59I must also thank Evelyn for this.
16:01Her body was too fragile
16:02for any healer in the pack
16:04to have helped.
16:05Only I could.
16:06Kaelin's gaze moved to me.
16:08Evelyn,
16:08do you know what you have done?
16:10I know my error.
16:12My skill was insufficient
16:13and I interfered
16:14with Lady Serafina's pregnancy.
16:15If anything had gone wrong,
16:17no punishment would be enough.
16:19Since you admit fault,
16:20you will be confined
16:21to your quarters
16:21for three months.
16:23Kaelin,
16:23it was my choice.
16:25Do not punish her.
16:26I did not believe
16:27she was helping me.
16:28She just needed me available
16:30to manage the pregnancy.
16:31If I was confined,
16:33the next time Kaelin
16:34moved against her,
16:35she would have no one to call.
16:37It was my poor judgment,
16:38my Alpha.
16:39I will accept the penalty.
16:40Enough, Serafina.
16:41This is your first child together.
16:43Evelyn nearly made
16:44a serious mistake.
16:45Do not speak on her behalf.
16:47She wanted me dead.
16:48Me being punished
16:49satisfied something in her.
16:51She was not going
16:52to push too hard.
16:54I returned to my quarters.
16:55That night,
16:57Kaelin came.
16:57He held my hand
16:58in both of his
16:59and rubbed it gently.
17:01The hex creature was still.
17:03I had not called it
17:04and yet he looked at me
17:05and said,
17:06Evelyn,
17:07give me a child.
17:08If he had not been sitting
17:09right in front of me,
17:11I would have laughed out loud.
17:12I forced down my revulsion
17:14and played the part.
17:15He carried me
17:16to the inner chamber.
17:18Kaelin and I
17:18had already been together.
17:19The hex could deceive
17:21for a time,
17:22but not forever.
17:23Mermaids were extraordinarily
17:24soft by nature.
17:26The old stories
17:27were not wrong.
17:28Kaelin found himself
17:29returning to my room
17:31night after night.
17:33Serafina heard
17:34and nearly tore
17:35her own chambers apart.
17:36She had expected
17:37to deliver an heir,
17:39then give the order
17:40to have me beaten down.
17:41But instead of news
17:43of my disgrace,
17:44she received word
17:45that I was carrying.
17:46Unlike the reaction
17:48to Serafina's pregnancy,
17:49when Kaelin learned
17:50I was carrying,
17:51his joy was real.
17:53He had led the pack
17:54for years.
17:55There were almost
17:55no other females
17:56in his pack.
17:57Serafina could not
17:58carry children herself,
18:00so she had quietly poisoned
18:01every other female
18:03with access to him.
18:04He had no heirs at all.
18:06It was a pity
18:07this child was destined
18:08not to be born.
18:10Every drop of my blood
18:11and marrow
18:12was already given
18:13to sustain the hex creatures.
18:14There was nothing left
18:16to nourish a child.
18:18Kaelin,
18:18this is your consequence.
18:20You sent soldiers
18:21to exterminate my clan.
18:23Now,
18:23you will have no lineage.
18:25That is what you deserve.
18:27I think he is moving.
18:29Alpha,
18:30you're teasing me.
18:31He is only two months along.
18:32He cannot move yet.
18:33I truly feel it.
18:35Perhaps I am just hungry.
18:37We both laughed.
18:38Serafina walked in
18:39to find exactly that scene.
18:41Serafina was showing now.
18:43Her body had grown heavy.
18:45She had become gaunt.
18:46Her face was hollow.
18:48No amount of powder
18:49could hide
18:49how worn out she looked.
18:51The hex creatures inside her
18:52were draining her
18:53without stopping.
18:54I was nestled against Kaelin,
18:56my skin luminous,
18:58my face bright,
18:59as I leaned into him.
19:00Why are you here?
19:02I heard the good news
19:03about Evelyn
19:04and came to offer
19:04my congratulations.
19:05I did not expect you
19:07to be here as well.
19:08Kaelin had not visited her
19:09in a very long time.
19:10He had found excuse
19:12after excuse.
19:13She had no way
19:14to make him come.
19:15Desperate,
19:16she had sent letters
19:17to her father and brother.
19:18No reply had come.
19:20Today,
19:20she had heard
19:20that the woman
19:21in these quarters
19:22was carrying
19:22and she could no longer
19:24sit still.
19:24I rose from Kaelin's side.
19:27Thank you for thinking of me.
19:29How have you been keeping,
19:30my lady?
19:31Serafina did not spare me
19:33a glance.
19:33She stared only at Kaelin.
19:36Have you grown to hate me?
19:39My Alpha?
19:41Kaelin loosened his hold
19:42and my hand slightly.
19:43Do not think too much into it.
19:45I will come see you later.
19:47At that moment,
19:48Jonas arrived,
19:48his face urgent.
19:50Alpha,
19:50there is an urgent report
19:51from the border.
19:52The council is waiting for you.
19:53Kaelin patted my hand,
19:55glanced once at Serafina,
19:57then rose and left.
19:58I settled back
19:59on the low seat,
20:00tilted my head
20:00toward Serafina
20:01and yawned slowly.
20:03Is there anything else?
20:04If not,
20:05I would like to rest.
20:06Serafina looked at me
20:07with a cold smile.
20:09I underestimated you,
20:10but carrying an heir
20:11means nothing in the end.
20:13Being able to actually
20:13deliver one,
20:14that is what matters.
20:16I return the same words
20:17to you, my lady.
20:18You think you are
20:18so untouchable.
20:20I still have a family
20:21behind me.
20:22A father,
20:22a brother,
20:23you are a dancer.
20:24What gives you the right
20:25to stand against me?
20:26This time,
20:26I did look up.
20:27I met her eyes
20:28and said quietly,
20:29Is that so?
