Ultramarine

My mom believes she's on the verge of finding proof that mermaids exist. She uproots us to Scotland, forcing my sixteen-year-old self to leave everything I cared about behind. I end up resigning myself to unstable weather, cranky neighbors, and a division from the outside world. Then I met Kayn, in his all glorified brawn and beauty—but soon learn his interior does not match up to his exterior. He's the most infuriating person I've ever met. Kayn purposefully makes sure I know I'm not welcome anywhere on the island, makes life incredibly uncomfortable for me, and even goes as far as using scare tactics against me to convince me to leave. For whatever reason, that may be. If only he’d tell me why he wanted me gone so badly. Then, I end up in a boating accident, where Kayn suddenly appears out of nowhere plus a shiny new tail… You heard me. A tail. A hot mermaid—who ends up saving my life. However, this bold endeavor puts not only our lives but our families' lives, in danger. The only way I get to keep myself and everyone else safe is if I divert my mom's attention from making her next big discovery and sharing it with the world. This requires me to team up with Kayn to prevent it from happening. But that is if I don't end up killing him first.

Chapter Twenty-Five

Monday snuck in with a breezy, cloudless sky—that by an hour later as I got into Bowmore, turned into the center of a vicious storm. The silver sky tumbled in rushed, radiating ripples, and spat out water like it was angry at the world beneath it.

Chapter Twenty-Four

Kayn wasn’t looking at me. I explained to him about what Ember had told me, but he appeared to be somewhere far away—at some unreachable place only he could go. “Did you even hear what I said?”

Chapter Twenty-Three

It wasn’t until lunchtime that Ember left and I rushed to the cottage’s kitchen. I found Mom wearing an apron with a wooden spoon in hand, taste testing a thick, brown sauce. “Mom, are you...okay?” I asked, walking up beside her to glance into the large two pots on the stove. It was spaghetti bolognaise.

Chapter Twenty-Two

“There are two factions of our kind,” Ember said. “There used to be only one, but things happened that divided us into two.”We were sitting on my roughly made bed across each other. Every single window inside the caravan was open, allowing a gentle breeze through.
