**A.N.** OMG! Thank you so much guys for 546 views! I can not believe only 6 days ago I was at 272 views!!!

**Kena's POV**

As I slowly gain consciousness from my deep sleep. I feel the soft warm sand on my right side and a smooth, fuzzy blanket covering the rest of me. I barely notice the tail that's now probably permanent that has replaced my legs.

"Morning, my sweet Kena." I hear a voice say from the water. I carefully open my eyes. I see Rafe smiling at me.

"If you're here to threaten me I'm not in the mood. I've only just woken up." I say, sitting up. I pull the blanket over my shoulders to keep from getting cold.

"I'm just here to tell you that your groom is arriving today. I've found the perfect, eternal mate for you." He says, his smile gone. He dives under the surface and goes out the entrance to my cell. I hear the bars come down on the entrance to the cell.

"Uggh!" I moan. I wonder what's happening to Abriella and Amber. I decide to doodle in the sand. "I really want some Coca-Cola." I say.

**A Few Hours Later**

"Princess Kena." Rafe says, pulling himself up onto the sand.

"What, Rafe?" I ask, really annoyed with him calling me "Princess" all the time. I'm not a princess, why does he not understand!?

"Your groom is here. Bring him in!" He orders someone in a loud, husky voice. The servant brings in a scruffy looking merman. He has wild brown hair and perfect brown eyes with a hint of gold around the pupil. His lips form a frown and he looks scared and angry.

"Come here, please, Sir." I say to the boy. He looks up at me and nods. The servant helps him to me because his hands are cuffed. "Release him, Rafe. And do it quickly." I order Rafe. Rafe nods and frees the boy.

"We'll leave you two." Rafe says. He bows to me and leaves.
**A.N.** So who do you guys think this mystery groom is? Do you think he will truly fall in love with Kena and same for her?

**Amber's POV**

"Soon we'll get that tail off you. Promise." Brysen says to me, focusing on the road.

"Thank you, Brysen. You're being overly sweet to someone you just met yesterday." I reply.

"I've known you a lot longer than yesterday." He says. I look at him questioningly.

"Oh God. Please say you're not a stalker!" I say scaredly. He chuckles and looks at me. "Eyes on the road!" I yell. He chuckles again but looks at the road.

"I'm no stalker. Just someone who knew you before your 'parents' did."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Yeah. What do you mean, Brysen?" Abriella asks from the back.

"You'll find out soon." He says, his voice hints with ice. We pull up to a small cottage by the ocean, in fact it's ocean side. He unbuckles and gets out. He opens my door and picks me up in the way grooms do to their brides after getting married usually.

"Ahh!" I squeal as he picks me up. Abriella does the same as Jake picks her up. They open the door and bring us to the living room. Brysen sets me down on the couch and he grabs me a blanket.

"Keep warm. I'll go grab you a shirt." Brysen says kindly.

"Thank you so much." He nods and heads to the closet. He's got tons of clothes in my size. I'm starting to think he is a bit of a stalker. He grabs me a beautiful blue and turquoise sun dress. I pull it over my damp body.

"Time to get rid of that annoying tail." He says quietly, leaning in. His lips touch mine and hold on. It only lasts a few seconds but it feels like forever. His lips are soft and strong. My first kiss and it's with him! After he's ended the kiss it still feels like his lips are on mine. I smile and feel a tiny burning sensation in my tail. I cringe and almost fall on the floor.

Brysen catches me and holds me close to him until I stop cringing. "Are you ok, Amber?" He asks concerned, setting me back on the couch.

"Yeah." I moan.
