Meredith, Marina, and Hailey's wildest dreams could be coming true.
Two weeks in the ocean changed Meredith's life and career goal. Now studying marine biology, she lands a summer internship at a local aquarium. Her aquatic intuition impresses her mentor, but how would the mermaids feel about holding fish captive in the name of science?
Marina has returned ashore to seek out her missing mother. A curious and cryptic painting leads to other clues, but the search through her mother's past reveals more questions than answers. Could her parents have left the ocean harboring a deep, dark secret?
Meanwhile, Hailey keeps Marina's tail safe and lives her lifelong dream to be a real mermaid. The experience is exhilarating, until the leader of the school suspects she is a human. If she gets caught, would it leave her friend forever marooned on land?
When second-guessing, mystery, and danger threaten to sink their dreams, will they skip out? Or will they work together and swim through the rough waters ahead?

The Wolf's Mermaid Imprint
Did you know there was a 4th girl that was turned into a mermaid at Mako Island? But it happened 2 years before Emma, Ricki, and Cleo became mermaids. When the trio became mermaids, Juliette recognized the signs and took them under her tail, so to speak. A year later, Juliette was told by her dad that they would be moving to La Push in Washington State to help out with Juliette's grandmother, who is her father's mother-in-law. Now Juliette is moving to one of the rainiest places to exist while being a mermaid that will sprout a tail whenever she gets wet....well, that will be interesting. How will she keep her secret? And why is the notorious town hothead glaring at her all the time, but then has random bursts of niceness? Why does he keep showing up wherever she is? And what is with her wanting to always be around him? It's like she has a pull to him. Is this a part of being a mermaid she didn't know about? What the hell is going on? Paul Lahote x OC Somewhat H2O crossover. I do not own Twilight or H2O or anything related to it. I only own my OC and unique storylines.

Yet, the ripples of a changing world beyond have begun to seep in, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. Who said life's easy for a teen about to graduate high school? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a mobile home with a grumpy grandmother who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans coexist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and building a political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days. It's time to return him to the wild--not like she'd swim into a human.

Now he's going to have to live in a world he doesn't understand, he doesn't think is safe, and he knows is discriminatory. He doesn't know any of the rules, but he knows breaking them can come at a cost that few are willing to pay. At least he doesn't have to navigate this mysterious world alone. He has his best friend Lauren, a halfblood fae, to help him learn the ropes. Now, he just has to decide if he can live a secret life-- One that includes: black market magic, underground criminal creatures, deadly weapons, and finally conscription to a corrupt magic council--all because he and the other members of his school were unfortunate enough to be born... Halfbloods Addicted: Cameron the halfblood Selkie and Megan the halfblood Mermaid had more reasons to fear the sea than the dangerous magical world they live in. Both thought they had found a love that nothing could tear apart, but neither had banked on the long perilous year they were about to embark on. A year froth with ancient curses and blood feuds, unbreakable death pacts and magical subterfuge, unstoppable enemies and finally, an addiction born of desperation. In the end, will their love survive the call of the Sea? UPDATED! Daily © 2017 These stories and works ARE COPYRIGHTED.
