Introduction

I am Selena, the former betrothed princess of Atlantis, the spurned bride of the North Sea.
Traded in a political marriage, I was meant to be forgotten.
My sisters all have beautiful tails.
They were my father's pride.
They feared my tail.
They locked me away.

Now the fate voices different.
I am the Heir to the Abyss.
Queen of the Atlantic.
I will wake the deep and rule them all.

Chapter 1

"Prince Audrik of the Northern Sea Kingdom," Melisande announced, her silver-blue hair flowing. "Commander of the Trident Knights. His silver-blue scales are stunning."

I focused on polishing my tail fin with obsidian, irritation prickling under my scales.

I dislike rounded tail fins—they look foolish, exposing me in a way that wounds my pride.

My tail fin's edges fracture like black coral, never curving.

"You should be grateful. Dad has given you the best possible arrangement."

She turned on her heel, sweeping silver-blue strands across my cheek—a cold wave brushing skin.

I stared out the window, restless thoughts twisting within me.

A political marriage.

——

Two days later,

In the garden——

Dressed in deep purple and marked with battle scars, he stood—a testament to naval conflict.

"Audric is a good prince. You'll get what you deserve," Dad said, his voice gentle but distant.

"What do I deserve, Dad?"

Rather than meeting my eyes, his gaze drifted, settling on the pitch-black depths at the garden's end.

"Your grandmother said on her deathbed that you must not go near the Abyss."

"Why? What is in the Abyss?"

"Prepare your wedding gown. This is your destiny," he said and left.

I sneered to myself, resentment spiking behind tight lips.

Destiny?

——

Two weeks later——

On that day, the North Sea delegation arrived in Atlantis.

Under the moonlight, dread coiled beneath my skin as I wore a wedding gown woven from jellyfish silk, studded with deep-sea pearls.

My tail, dusted with pearl powder, resisted the maids' attempts to cover its blackness—a mark that no shimmer could hide.

In the hall, my father sat upon the throne, a trident resting across his lap.

Prince Audrik entered through the main gate.

Sharp features, a silver-blue tail like armor, a black iron sword at his waist, whale bone hilt, sapphires in the pommel. Prince Audrik looked carved from ice.

"Your Majesty Triton, I have come at the command of my father, King Gunnar, to wed Princess Selena and forge an eternal alliance between our two nations."

When he spoke my name, I felt invisible under his indifference; his gaze did not even seek me out.

He looked only at the throne, never at me, measuring the clearly defined interests behind my existence—reminding me I was nothing but a piece in this transaction.

To him, the wedding was a contract—cold, inevitable, loveless.

——

That night, long after the palace fell silent, it was late.

Restless, I drift beneath the moonlight, my mind refusing to settle.

I swam to the window, uncertainty heavy as I gazed into the dark.

"Princess."

The voice was low and rough, like grinding rocks.

Moments later, a presence filled the room—the merman with the prosthetic limb stood in the entrance, blocking the passageway.

"Who are you?"

"Captain of the Northern Sea Delegation's Guard. I've been ordered to ensure the Prince's safety."

"Why do you come to me?"

He lifted his head and met my gaze.

His dark gold eyes burned like oceanic meteorites.

"You feel it, don't you?" His voice was very low. "The call from below."

I froze.

"How do you—"

"I hear it too," he cut me off. "Ever since I was a child, they're calling to me, just as they're calling to you."

Ripples spread as he stepped forward.

"My name is Kane. I'm not here to find you."

"Hunt me?" I frowned, confused.

"The Abyss awaits its queen. The North Sea is merely the first stop," he said solemnly, his eyes fixing on me.

——

On the night before my departure, my fifth sister, Eliana, came to see me in my chamber.

She was the only sister who ever spoke to me.

She has a pale gray tail, gentle to the point of timidity.

When mentioned, people needed time to remember her name.

But tonight, there was something in her eyes.

"Selena." She glanced toward the door and pulled a seashell from her waist. "The Memory Shell. Open it."

Our Mother's voice came from inside—younger, more urgent.

"She must not go to the North Sea. If they find what the color of her tail signifies—"

Then her father said coldly, "I have already decided, Alicia. Do not speak of it again."

"But she is your daughter!"

"Precisely because she is my daughter." His voice dropped even lower. "If the prophecy is true, keeping her far from Atlantis, far from the Abyss, is the only way to protect her—and to protect the entire kingdom. The North Sea is far enough, cold enough, to ensure she never hears that voice again."

"You're wrong, Triton! You can't hide her away. You must know that the Abyss never forgets its own children!"

The voice cut off abruptly.

I set down the conch shell, my fingers trembling.

"I noticed every night of the full moon, our mom would sneak out to the sea. There's a human man there—the owner of a white-sailed ship. She's known him since he was a boy, and then… they were in love," Eliana said, biting her lip. "

The Queen of Atlantis—fell in love with a human?!

"Why are you telling me this?"

She was silent for a long time.

"Because I am the 'non-existent' one, Selena." Her tail swept across the ground.

"I saw the expression on mom's face when she surfaced—not the guilt of an adulteress, but the longing. I saw the fear in Dad's eyes as he looked at your tail—the fear of a king facing a prophecy."

She paused for a moment, then added, "The merman who just found you was a prisoner, and perhaps he still is. His scars weren't from battle. They're whip marks—the kind only prisoners chained to the seabed would have."

"Do you know the prophecy about me?" I asked.

She shook her head. "I only know Dad is afraid. A king shouldn't fear his own daughter, unless that daughter will take his place one day."

"The North Sea is not a cage, Selena. It is a door. Push it open and find your own sea." She swam to the doorway without looking back.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Dear readers, this novel is coming to an end soon. I highly recommend another fantastic story of the same genre:


I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
