Dwayne realized he broke into a cold sweat for the first time in years. ‘Is this young man who I think he is?’ he asked himself nervously.

Dwayne looked down at the two goons who attacked Tyler. They were unconscious, and their bodies appeared to be roughed up for hours. What kind of attack has such an effect? The young man before him was not ordinary.

“What happened?” Trent whispered to his father. “Why didn’t Mr. Mosby command his men to attack Tyler?”

“Don’t breathe a word,” Mark replied under his breath. “Maybe he wants to savor the kill? Let’s wait and watch. I’m sure Tyler is moments away from a painful death.”

Dwayne pondered for half a minute before walking over to Tyler.

“That tattoo…” he asked out of the earshot of others. “Where did you get it?”

The young man rubbed his arm nonchalantly. “The tattoo? It’s something my teacher gifted me before I left Montserrat prison. Why do you ask?”

“And do you have the ring?” Dwayne posed.

Tyler narrowed his eyes. Was the gangster referri

  • 315 A Difficult Choice

    "Who goes there?" one of the guards boomed. His voice echoed like a sad song across the white sands of the beach.Tyler's boots left deep marks in the soft sand as he disembarked from the steamboat. He and his entourage had left the superyacht to land on the Wings Island beach, finally.Britta walked behind him, scanning the horizon. Yara was at his side with one of her eyes burning with Lilith's demonic essence. Derek Sentinel barked orders to the crew to bring down the cargo.Kat and Mamushi stayed near the steamboat, apparently wary of the island."Who goes there?" The two guards stood like marble statues. Their bodies rippled with ethereal muscles under golden armor that shimmered in the tropical sun. They were clearly not human."I'm Tyler Grant," the young man declared, rolling up his sleeve to reveal the six-winged tattoo on his bicep. As soon as he had set foot on Wings Island, it had begun pulsing with a faint golden light, as if awakening to the land's call.He held up his h

  • 314 The Queen's Bed

    The mermaid queen extended her hand towards the west, her tail coiling gracefully. "Come, husband. We'll wed each other on the iceberg altar that has existed for millennia in my realm. We can have our honeymoon on a golden glacier that flows from the island itself. Afterward, once you have satisfied my urges, you may claim your throne. However, this part of the ocean will be your new home."Tyler nodded. "That sounds wonderful. However, I need a few minutes to change into proper attire for the wedding. Right now, I am dressed like a soldier. Please ask your followers to restrain themselves meanwhile."Marsha smiled warmly and waved. Her mermaids stopped growling and eased back slightly. "I can wait, my betrothed. But hurry. The sea of desire in me grows impatient. I have waited for this moment for centuries."Tyler turned around and retreated towards belowdecks. The crew parted to give him a path with stunned silence. Their eyes followed him in disbelief.At the door, Tyler signaled T

  • 313 The Bargain

    "I'm already married," Tyler replied firmly without a second thought. "My wife is Michelle Douglas, the Queen of Petra. It is not possible for me to take another."The spectators were dumbfounded. What was the mermaid queen thinking? That she could just demand Tyler as a bridegroom, and she would get it?Marsha leaned forward, her tail swishing slowly behind her. "I don't know this tiny mortal Queen you refer to. She must be weak and pathetic.""She is anything but weak," Tyler said. "I will not tolerate another word against my Queen. This is your last warning."She waved her hand dismissively and stepped forward, sniffing the air. "I couldn't care less about mortals. I am intrigued by you, Tyler Grant."Marsha turned her nose in his direction and took a deep whiff, making him feel uncomfortable. "You reek of many women, and not just one. Many scents cling to you like barnacles on a ship's hull. I can smell a goddess, a demoness, mortals, and many more."The young man shifted in his p

  • 312 Queen of Mermaids

    Marsha's skin was porcelain, and her lips were bee-stung. Behind her, a powerful tail flipped that could behead a man with a light swish. Yet, she walked with a grace that could only be defined as royal.The Queen surfaced before THE BUTCH. She levitated from the water, as if carried by a cloud. As she landed on the deck, surrounded by servant mermaids, the wood turned to reeds, soil, and grass.Tyler noticed he had forgotten to breathe for a dozen seconds. He was suddenly reminded of the goddess Aphrodite's prediction. "The fairest of them all is not on this metal vessel. She lives on soil and grass, on clouds and mist."Water cascaded from the Queen's form erotically. The naval officers and staff, regardless of their pain and suffering, were entranced by her unearthly beauty."You wield my husband's trident," Marsha declared. "But you are no Poseidon. He abandoned me. His Queen, the love of his immortal life, that too for a frail human woman.""When I protested, he cursed me to the

  • 311 Horror from the Depths

    "Noooo!""Aaaargh!""Helppp!""Monsters!!"The decks of the Petra ships, once slick with saltwater, were now splashed with blood. They echoed with the ghastly snarls of hungry sirens and the desperate cries of dying crew members.Tyler stood on The Butch's main deck, his mind racing. His form was a whirlwind of motion. Mystical threads lashed out like golden whips to grapple at the sirens that swarmed over the sides like slugs.Yara was in her complete Lilith form, fighting beside him. Her claws raked through a siren's scaled hide, spraying blue-black blood. "These aquatic bitches are tough!" she snarled, decapitating another with a swipe that sent the head rolling into the fog.Mamushi cowered behind an overturned crate, not far away from Tyler. The latter had made her swear to take cover. However, she was participating in the fight as well.Her small hands glowed with nascent energy, firing bursts of red energy that singed a mermaid's tail. "Dad! They're everywhere!" she cried out.

  • 310 Help!

    Tyler stood at the railing of THE BUTCH looking into the distance. The superyacht's deck was still slick with seawater from his recent ordeal.The Pacific stretched endlessly, mocking his progress toward Wings Island. His eyes scanned the remaining escort ships. The number was now reduced to eight destroyers and frigates. They flanked the yacht in a tight V-formation.Tyler's mind lingered on Amelia. Her final kiss in the dream, and her sacrifice in reality, was a weight that pressed on him like an anchor. "Little Amelia deserved better," he muttered to himself.Kat and Mamushi approached Tyler. His daughter stood beside him, her red wings tucked neatly against her back. She watched the sunset with wonder. Everything in the mortal world appeared like a fantasy to Mamushi.Kat flanked his other side. "How long are you going to brood?" the goddess asked, watching Mamushi giggle and point at jumping dolphins.Tyler sighed. "Probably forever. What do you do to honor the dead in Tialocan,
