I'm the one of my kind. The only one. And you get to read this because I decided to write this down, to document it. Not many people encounter a dragon. Because I'm not a dragon, I'm an ordinary girl. Although most people see the dragon. I'm Emma. That's all I'm going to say for now.
I met a dragon, despite being one myself. For the first time in ages, I felt connected to my own kind. I was lonely... Until someone took me under their wing, and now we travel together. There isn't much to it, but things get hard. And when they get hard, it's hard to go on. I help her go on. I'm Silk. I care for people, and don't expect anything in return.
27. A story about the lab escapee, and a story about the one that took a stranger in. These two have more in common than you think. Both isolated, both never meeting their kind before. Together, they escape from the fate chasing after them like a hyena after its prey. A lab escapee, she lives her life on the run and doesn't look back. In her time of need, he agrees for her to stay with him. Both of them are in for surprises, laughter, triumph, sadness, and defeat.
*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono.
However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation.

Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from.
I gasped, stumbling back.
Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine.
"Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster.

The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context.
