"No one is allowed to touch you." "No one is allowed near you." "No one is allowed to spoil you." "Because you belong to us." Thomas is a normal 16 year old boy living a normal life and had a perfectly fine childhood. Or that's at least how it should be. 7 years of being sent from an orphanage to an orphanage and going from a family to a family, Tommy has lost his ability to trust others. But it all changed on his 14th birthday. Now he lives with his stepfather, his stepmother and their 4 boys. Or the devil's spawns, Satan and Romeo as he calls them.

"Careful human." The...thing said in a concerned voice. "W-What are you, what d-do you want?" I shakily asked him, curling up my body protecting myself. "Shh human don't be afraid. You are my mate." What is a mate? Why did he bring me here? Who is he? Why is he looking at me like that? From the distance I put between us I could admire him more, and his tail. He really is beautiful. It was a deep teal green colour with gold and blue blended in with it that reminded me of his eyes. He was holding himself up with his arms looking at me curiously, head slightly bent to the side and all. "What are you, what do you want?" I asked slowly, my heartbeat had almost reduced to normal again but I was feeling a strange pull towards the creature in front of me. "I am a Merman and you are my mate." His voice was deep and sounded like music the way he spoke. But mate? "Mate?" I asked hoping to find out the way in which he directed this word. "My love," he paused looking into my hazel eyes. "Come closer human you are beautiful...and mine."
