Noah knowing everything freaked me out. It put me on the spot. My whole family were sat downstairs waiting for me to do what fate set in store for us, and instead I had done this.
Okay, this was bad. Everyone was going to flip out. Not only had I told him the secret of my people... Which is one of the planet's best kept secret believe it or not, but I had just cheated on my mating partner... With a human.
I stared into Noah's blank eyes, which had frozen like the rest of his body. I cleared my throat.
He seemed to realise he wasn't breathing, and then he choked, "So you're a mermaid."
