The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 139
‘What are they waiting for?’
I looked toward the sea curiously as I saw them popping their heads out of the water one by one. I immediately realized that they were all mermen.
They revealed their broad chests and tilted their heads upward as they looked toward Dicken and me.
Dicken showed himself through the cave entrance before extending an arm to pull me into him. With his arm around my waist, he looked down on the mermen below and arrogantly made a low neigh.
Although the pitch wasn’t high, it certainly sounded like a horn signifying the start of a battle.
I was stunned as the mermen below were ecstatic like they heard a piece of good news. They jumped toward the moon across the night sky, leaving sparkly water trails behind them. They made excited and high -pitched neighs mixed with the sound of waves, forming their own symphony.
My excitement had also built up with theirs. ‘Is this the song of merpeople that was spoken about in legends?’
I must admit that the song did not sound as enchanting and seducing as expected. Instead, it sounded as agitated and intense as a storm, announcing a desire for primitive power and subjugation.
Through their song, it was as if I could see these beautiful but ferocious creatures swimming freely in the sea, resisting storms, fighting against their natural enemies, hunting in the waves, as well as attacking sea vessels manned by humans…
‘But why are they singing this song now?
Is it because of how Dicken had hugged my waist earlier?
