Breathe Deep

RIDLEY

Humans are selfish and greedy beings…at least that's what I thought. When my mate turns out to be half human, I'm forced to take a closer look and realize not all humans are bad.

How do I tell her she's not merely a human? How do I teach her about a side of her she never knew existed?

Will she accept me and our connection? Or will I be left heartbroken?

ARISTA

My entire life I felt out of place. I knew my aunt was doing the best she could raising me, but deep down I knew there was more out there for me. I just had to find it.

Growing up a human, I never expected to find a mate. Heck, I never even knew merfolk existed.

Falling in love was easy. Accepting who and what I am? That's the hard part.
