This is the year she's supposed to pick a suitor and take over her mothers rule. Except ruling is the last thing Scylla wants. So here's the plan. If she picks a mer, so despicable, so innapropriate and daft he could not possibly rule by her side, her mother would have no choice but to deny her chosen mate. Conveniently Scylla in her 'heartbroken' state, would buy herself another year of respit.

Charybdis the sea hag has a plan. Desguise himself as a strapping young Mer. Infiltrate the yearly gathering and win the affections of the new matron to be. Such power should not be in the hands of a snot nosed brat anyway. No. He'd be a much better leader than she could ever be. All that was left is to work his charms...

In Too Deep by feistylittlefox
11 parts Ongoing Mature
**Slow Updates** "Thank you human." She nods. I nod in return, not quite sure what to say. Still incredibly confused by the whole situation. She looks down at my sweats again. "That is where the human male appendage lies, am I correct?" She asks, head tilted, finger tapping her chin, eyes boring into my crotch. I choke on my saliva, taken aback by her complete lack of filter and the strange way she's looking at me. At...it. "I-uh...Yes." She nods in confirmation. "I have watched the human mating ritual once from behind a rock on the sea. It looked very fun. You appear to be a human male at his prime. I am in this form and am therefore compatible." She looks away from my dick and up into my eyes. "I am curious to know more. Let us mate, mortal." *** A Siren Queen in exile, Dhalia has traveled the seas in solitude. Suddenly, she finds herself thrown into the human world. Dylan was just walking the beach and lamenting life, like he does everyday as the sun sets. The last thing he expected was to find a gorgeous woman washed ashore. He finds himself quickly becoming enamored with the ethereal beauty, but there might be more darkness to Dhalia and her world than he could have ever imagined. Can Dylan handle sinfully sweet Dhalia, or is poor Dylan In Too Deep?

The Beast by xwriteratheartxo

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.
