The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 105
In anticipation, I held my breath, and my body froze. I opened my eyes as wide as possible as I observed the unnatural ripples on the water.
Then, I heard a splash, and a pale but unfamiliar face appeared above the water, followed by another, and another. Eventually, countless faces I didn’t recognize appeared in the waters around us.
They were merpeople! They had already been hiding here before we arrived. Now, other than their faces, they had also extended their claws out of the water and positioned them toward us. An eerie light reflected in their eyes against the darkness of the cave, making them look like demons that had just climbed out of hell.
But I had to admit, they all looked beautiful and handsome, and young too. But being surrounded by them like this only brought me fear.
As they slowly closed in on our lifeboats, something caught my eye. It was the red -haired merman who had tried to snatch me away from Dicken. He sensed my presence and rose from the water, staring at me with his seductive and breathtaking eyes.
Gary had also noticed the red-haired merman’s gaze on me, so he quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him. I anxiously gripped my handgun tight and remained alert of my surroundings. As a biologist, I knew that using actual firearms against wild animals was unethical. But in a life-threatening situation like this, I couldn’t care less.
Laura whipped out the most explosive rifle we had and rested its stock against her shoulder, ready to fire. At that moment, she looked completely cold and uncaring.
She made a hand signal then ordered the soldiers who were the false pirates, “Toss the pirates down there! “
‘What? That’s the reason why she brought them out here?’ I was utterly shocked.
