A Song To Drown For

What dwells in the Deep doesn't always stay there...

When storms rage across the sky, monsters emerge from the depths looking for food. Prey. Humans. Us. We call them Mer, and despite their resemblance to angels with their alluring voices, flawless bodies, and inhuman grace, they embody the definition of evil.

Or so I thought. Until him.

But can you really trust a predator born to kill you?

I took my last gasp of air.

The waves crashed above my head, shoving me down under into its dark and icy depths. My legs burned with exhaustion from kicking so frantically while my mind was crazed with terror imagining all the Mer below me hungry for my flesh. I could almost already feel the pain ripping through my body as their fangs plunge through my skin.

Muffled screams pierced the water. The screams of humans dragged down by their ankles. The screams of the dying.

My lungs echoed them as they begged for one gulp of air. The effort to kick myself to the surface was futile; I was sinking rapidly. I watched helplessly as the waters turned from a light blue to a dark green as the light began to fade the deeper I sank.

That was when warm arms suddenly wrapped themselves around me from behind.

My eyes widened in panic but as I began to struggle, I felt the Mer press his lips against my ears, murmuring, "I've got you." Seth's familiar voice made me almost cry out in relief had I not been underwater. "Trust me."

And then he dragged me down into the Deep.

By the way, I don't know if my cover is violating some sort of Wattpad cover policy since I kinda used the cover of another book: Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout. So if anyone knows, please tell me and I'll do something with the cover. Or feel free to make one for me XD.
