The alphas mermaid I looked into the eyes of the alpha, his deep blue eyes you could get lost in. I was snapped out of my trance by being pulled by my brother. I looked at him confused untill I looked back at the alpha to see his eyes full of fury and being held by a beta and a pack worrier. "You are to weak to be my mate! You are a human! You will never succeed." He growled. I looked at him wide eyed. They don't know what and who we are, all I know is that the alpha wolf is my mate... I'm a mermaid, the last purple tailed mermaid and hunted by many, and I'm in hiding. I smiled and walked up to him changing my eyes to my bright purple and looking at him. "If you only knew" then I turned on my heels walking out of he school with my brothers in tow. ------------- Bryce is the next alpha of the Dark Moon pack. He is the player, the normal non-mated alpha. He has bright blue eyes and black hair. When he meets his mate he is outraged to find out that she is human....or so he thinks. Marine is not like every mermaid girl, she is special and due to her royal blood her and her brother have. They can shift from mermaid to human, but if they come in contact with water in human form they shift in a minute flat. But what happens when she meets the alpha and is her mate. He thinks she human?  She's not. She is the last purple finned mermaid out there. She has many powers which include anything water or sea related. Will he find out her secret? Will he want her back?

18 year old Chrissy Morgan is moving away from her Hawaiian home to live with her friend, Miranda Devon in California while her brother is on a swimming trip around the Pacific. Why, you ask? Chrissy's and her brother are half merpeople, but she's never told a soul her secret before she left Hawaii. But on the plane ride over to see Miranda she meets a certain curly haired British boy that turns her world around as she meets the rest of his amazing (and famous) friends. This is the story of how a boyband changes the life of one special mermaid, but will she trust them enough to change theirs?

Assyria is the mermaid with the long, weird name, the daughter to one of the oceans most powerful mer leaders and sister to a bunch of over protective brothers. She's also the mate to Cameron Forrest, the future alpha of The Blood Moon Pack. Cameron knows that Assyria is his mate but keeps quiet, nobody wants the weak human as a mate right? Wrong. He soon realises he can't live without her and would do anything to have her by his side. Assyria also knows that she's his mate but she keeps quiet, she knows everything about Cameron and his pack yet he knows nothing about her. About what she is. A mermaid.
