The merman, my man novel Chapter 68

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 68

Gary and Laura needed Dicken and me to remain alive.

The group of pirates didn’t seem like they were just trying to rob us, else they wouldn’t have got Henry to spy on Gary and me for so long.

At the very least, Dicken and I were left alive. As long as we were alive, there would be a chance to escape.

The pain and blood loss drained me unconscious. All I could feel was Henry still clutching to my body near the edge of the deck.

As for the pirate ship, it had inched closer until it was just mere meters away from us. The pirates on the ship placed a small bridge made of steel between the decks of both vessels. Our boat trembled, and seawater splashed from the area of impact.

I heard the sound of chains approaching closer from behind me, followed by the metallic scent of blood flooding my nostrils. I turned my head as much as I could to take a look. Unfortunately, as my eyesight was blurred from the pain I was enduring, I could only faintly see several pirates tugging the chains as they dragged Dicken across the bridge. They yelled in excitement like that was the most incredible loot of their endeavor.

Pirates in chains now dragged the strong, fierce, and intelligent creature. Dicken looked like a wild animal being imprisoned in a circus.

Nobody could actually stop him from escaping, but he was willing to put himself in that situation.

My heart felt heavy. “I shouldn’t have asked Dicken for help. No matter how similar he is to a human, he still isn’t human at the end of the day. We’re biologically different beings. I shouldn’t have involved him in the despicable conflicts of humans.”

I was too stupid! Dicken was just a beast. The fact that he thought I was his mate was just a mistake, and asking him for help in that situation just made it worse. He was only sacrificing himself for me because he thought I was his mate.
