Who am I really?

Crack My Heart

As I resurfaced from the water a bit of a distance away, I could see my mate in the water. He was frantically searching for me for fear I had drown. At least that's what I assumed but he must have known I was part mermaid after not resurfacing. I felt a pang of familiarity coming from my mate and next thing I knew he could smell my scent. The wind had forsaken me and carried my scent right to him.

The second he turned around and I could see his face my heart dropped. no. it can't be. This is impossible. Why was the goddess playing with me right now? This can't be my real mate. He started to swim towards me and not long my mate was in front of me.

"Finally. Finally you can sense the bond." My "brother" spoke. The goddess must be messing around with me. finally? I had forgotten My brother had turned twenty one about a year ago. All this time. The reason he had been distancing himself and had stayed away during my party was because of this? "My wolf and I weren't for sure fully until this morning. We smelt your scent the second midnight hit and like a wave washed over us we wanted to be with you. We couldn't though and then I got news about something and had to leave." So my brother and mate was the one who brought our little sister home.

"No this cant..." His scent wad overwhelming and if I didn't move from next to him I was going to give in. I pushed him back a little bit and my tail brushed the bottom of his foot. He smiled brightly and tried to reach out to me but I just swam a bit farther away. "How can the goddess fate me to you? I was raised along side you as a sister." My whole mind was freaking out and I was unsure what to do.

"I freaked out a bit to. My wolf convinced me that it should have never been like that. You were never truly meant to be raised as our sister." his words made my fear soften a bit but I was still worried. Why? Why did the moon and sea goddess pair us together?

"Flynn.." I spoke his name softly and he swam towards me.

"You are powerful and beautiful. you must show me your wolf next." My mate said to me. once he reached me, a hand had been placed on my cheek. I let myself relax against his hand and close my eyes. We were close enough to the shore that someone could be watching if they chose. "We will need to tell father." he doesn't specify my father or his father because in truth he raised us both. And after we mated my father would remain my father.

Flynn attempted to pull me out of the water but feeling a presence at the surface told me that I shouldn't go back yet. I shook my head and let his hand go.

"I can't go back yet. nobody knows about me being half mer. I need to shift back alone." I told Flynn before diving into the water and trying to find a quiet spot to get out. I assumed once I was out of the water I would shift back. How right I was. I think it was more painful feeling my bones grow apart and break back down, than it had been merging them together. Once I was fully human I quickly went to the entrance to the castle I knew was connected to the beach. my family loved to walk on the beach even though I was never allowed on these walks.

Now I know why.

Sneaking into my room wasn't that successful when my door slammed shut after I entered. Quickly putting on a robe and jumping into my bed before pretending to be asleep. Normally I would sleep under the covers but right now anyone would believe that I fell asleep like this. I wasn't sure who opened the door but when it closed I gave it about five minutes. Then I opened my eyes to see my mate infront of me on the bed.

"f**k flynn." I said pushing him off my bed. What was he even doing here? "What are you doing here?" I asked him and he shrugged from the floor.

"I was going to just sleep next to you. but my wolf wants to do so much more." He said on the floor. I shivered from how he talked like yesterday we weren't just brother and sister. How could the goddess think this was smart?

"We can't." I tried to say.

"Are you going to reject us?" Flynn asked plain as day. peaking up at me from the floor I could see him crawling up the side of the bed.

"I don't." I was caught off by a kiss being planted on my lips. I wanted to push him away. All logic screamed for me to just push him off and reject him. My mate bond told me another story. One that I should give into the kiss and accept my fated mate. I gave into the mate bond and accepted the kiss.

It didn't last long when a bang on my door jolted me up off the bed and away from Flynn. Father opened the door and frowned at the sight he saw.

"Please tell me my worst fear hasn't come true." My father spoke and I frowned.

"US being mates is your worst fear?" I said out of spite and the confused look on my father's face said it all.

"No. but that's not good either." was all he said before walking out of my room.
