Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761: 761-The Siren And Her Song

Kesha:

A few months ago, I held his hand, trying to reassure him that everything was fine. He hadn’t moved since I started making out with him. I stretched my tongue as far down his throat as I could, trying to reach his heart, trying to reach his mind, trying to change how he thinks. It was completely silent. All I could hear were the ocean waves around me and his heartbeat. The more I forced my tongue down, the more his heartbeat slowed, almost like he was dying.

My other hand was wrapped around the back of his neck, my fingers gently touching the tattoo on his other side. I was caressing it, manipulating it. While my tongue was still down his throat, I sang a song to him, a cursed one only he could hear. It was a song that warned him about how dangerous the mermaids were, a song that asked him to slay one for me, to save everyone.

When I finally pulled back, I watched his eyes slowly close. His beautiful eyes always rolled back in his head, and once I was done, he would close them and fall asleep. I sat up beside him on the couch and stared at him. He was truly a work of art, such a handsome man, but such wasted potential, always living in the shadow of his brothers. That’s no way to live. I wasn’t living like that.

When I turned eight, I killed my mother. As crazy as it sounds, she wasn’t even the one I loved most. I was just afraid she would have another child. And when I found out she was planning to, I had to stop her. She was supposed to be like me, meticulous, cunning, full of ambition. But was she? No.

My father resembled me more than my mother ever did. He was a cunning, evil man, and I liked that about him. So was my uncle. I used to bring my friends over for my uncle. They were always caught off guard when they realized I only brought them so he could have his fun. Did they really think I was capable of real friendship? No. I’ve only ever seen people as business deal, transactions, nothing more.

But Kaye was different. I grew fond of him. I used to think I’d marry Maximus because he was more active, someone easier to manipulate. He’d fall in love fast and do anything for it. Kaye, on the other hand, was never someone I imagined being with. He had been quiet since childhood, always in pain, always moody, always questioning everything.

Thankfully, I managed to make him listen. As I hummed a melody, I walked through the corridor of my mansion. I tied up my hair. The dress I wore was made of thin fabric. My nipples poked through the thin straps and top. I wasn’t wearing any undergarments. I didn’t need to, not for what came next.

When I reached the indoor pool, I took off my dress and jumped in. Within seconds, my tail began to grow. My face turned blue, with glittery patterns covering my body. My hair grew long and deep royal blue. My eyes turned completely black. Then, my beauty faded as I transformed into a siren. My jawline sharpened. My high cheekbones looked like gills.

Mermaids were the symbols of beauty. Sirens, though, they were ugly. Known to be evil, manipulative creatures, but with beautiful voices. Sometimes they could appear beautiful too, even if only temporarily. But who cares, as long as it gets the job done.

"You’re doing a great job with him," my uncle said, appearing beside my father.

"Yeah, but I’m hearing things about him and that girl living with him," I said, swimming around. I already figured it out. Helanie was a mermaid. I just didn’t know how to deal with it yet. I didn’t want to be the one to expose her, not directly, not until I had a good reason. I wanted to wait. If I acted too soon, he’d kick me out of his life.
