A Q U A R I U S

I shuddered at the deep voice

I shuddered at the deep voice. It was like an electric zap was strung up my spine. I wanted to moan out loud but thankfully caught myself.

I looked up at the creature and was met with it baring it teeth at me, making me whimper. I heard the crunching of leaves and grass and could tell the man was walking over- to what I am guess was to access the situation.

"Alpha."

Kyle said.

Alpha? Was that a human thing? I had never heard of that term before. I ignored it, as I was too scared of the creature in front of me that was slowly inching closer.

It wanted to attack me; I could tell. Kyle glanced at me and then the creature and made.... a growling sound?

Right then and there warning signs flashed in my head.

I was not safe here.

I desperately wanted to run off, but I did not know how to walk on my legs. The muscles were still weak from not ever using to them.

I heard him getting closer, I was focused on him and did not realize the mistake I was making.

Rule number one- never, and I mean never take your eyes off a predator.

Next thing I knew I was being tackled to the floor by the hairy creature.

A scream of terror ripped from my throat. I heard shouting but I was too focused on the creature's teeth. They were large and long, bared at me, wanting to bite me!

Before I knew it, my instincts kicked in. Not caring if the humans saw- I let my claws come out, scratching at the terrifying beast.

The creature whined and yipped as I slashed down its sides. I knew he would be in for a world of pain.

Merfolk's claws held venom in them. It brought excruciating pain, paralysis, and fever. Only merfolk was immune to the venom.

I pushed the creature from me and watched as it fell to the ground like a sack of shells.

I crawled backwards but stopped as I felt a zapping sensation on my back making me squeal.

I heard another growl and flinched into myself thinking it was another creature.

"MATE!"

I gasped, mostly because of the term. I knew humans did not call their significant other mates, but husband and wife.

I felt strong arms wrap around my midsection and squealed as they lifted me up. I was pulled into a strong muscled chest and wanted to moan.

Instantly I felt warm and safe as spark after spark traveled where I touched this man. I had no idea who he was, but I never wanted to leave his strong arms, especially when I felt like this! I closed my eyes and put my hands on his. The growling continued but strangely I did not fear it or mind it, in a way it was soothing and not to mention such a turn on!

A face nuzzled into my neck and a warmness filled my chest as one thought popped into my head.

Mate....

I gasped as the same time the soothing growl became suddenly aggressive. Hands pulled at the shirt I was wearing.

"Mate, mine!"

The deep voiced said, barbarically. The man continued to rub himself all over me, making me internally happy. I did not care now that my mate was human. I was simply happy I found them! All mine, my mate!

I all but purred as he nuzzled my neck, leaving kisses here and there. He kept muttering that I was his, his mate, and I could not agree more.

Sadly, I was pulled out of my world as I heard screaming.

I blinked out of my love filled fog as I looked over at Kyle who was kneeled over the creature screaming its name.

"Liam! Liam baby, come to me!"

He half screamed and spoke, patting the creature on its face. As much as he did that, I knew it was useless. The creature would be paralyzed for days, or until I went to the oceans and got the ingredients for the cure.

I could see Kyle was in a lot of distress. As I was staring at him, he seemed to sense it and turned around.

Water also ran down his face, like mine did earlier. I was glad to know it was a human thing, and I was not some I weirdo.

Kyle's glance turned into a full-blown glare. Anger filled his features as he shakily got up and stood on two feet.

The man nuzzling me paid him no mine as he continued his scent marking. He rubbed his body against mine, leaving trails or sparks and warmth.

I could not enjoy it though with an angry Kyle coming my way.

"You! What did you do!"

He yelled coming forth. He glared at me with so much hatred, you would never think he was ever nice to me just a few minutes ago.

I opened my mouth but did not know what to say. I could not tell a human mer-secrets!

When I did not reply he growled and stepped forward causing my mate to return the noise and step back.

What was I going to do......?
