    "Come on in," Emmet said as he stood at the main gate of his mansion.

    I lowered my head, and when I looked up again, Kesha was gone.

    I followed after Emmet, walking all the way through his passage. It was a silent walk. No words were spoken.

    Then, I was outside his bedroom. My hands were tied in front of me, under my abdomen, like an obedient student. He stood to the side, weing me in.

    I stepped inside, and he walked in after me.

    The minute he turned on the light, I was stunned to see the research he had been doing all this time. There were papers and sticky notes across the wall. There were files and so much scattered around that it reminded me of something Kaye and Norman had told me before. They had found scribbles in Emmet’s room, showing he wanted to sacrifice me.

    Of course, I was slightly disturbed because the trauma kepting back. But then I remembered what Maximus had told me. There was so much conspiracy around Emmet and his drunken sessions, where he would make mistakes, that I started to feel like someone was messing with him.

    But who? And how would Emmet ever recover once he found out that someone had taken advantage of his curse, to the point that he almost lost everything?

    He lost the chance to marry me. He lost his credibility. He almost lost his brother’s love. Then he was used of me losing my baby.

    Emmet snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention.

    "Yeah, right. What were you saying?" I asked and found him just staring at me before he looked away.

    "Yeah, so," he said as he started to take off his coat and throw it onto the bed.

    However, the minute he looked at me, he rushed to grab his coat and neatly put it back in the closet.

    "I actually do like to take care of my stuff. It’s just that I was too excited to show you what I found out," Emmet exined.

    It was strange to see him so conscious around me. But I liked it.

    "Yeah, you were going to say something about Kaye and Kesha," I said.

    He walked over to the wall and pointed at one of the sticky notes. It was a 3D printer image of a tattoo.

    "I’ve seen this one," I said.

    There were two side by side. I didn’t understand why he would print two of the same tattoo.

    "This is Kaye’s tattoo," I said, pointing at one. "And this is also..." I pointed at the other one, touching the sticky note before pulling back to get a better look.

    "No, this one is slightly different," I said. "Exactly." he replied.

    "Can you tell me which one you think is Kaye’s?" he asked, probably to see if I could spot the difference.

    "Yeah, this one." I pointed at the first one. "There are no bloody dots on the tail of this mermaid," I said, and my heart stopped in my chest.

    "Go on, exin the tattoo to me," Emmet insisted.

    His arms were folded across his chest, his body leaning back against the wall full of sticky notes.

    "It’s a... it’s a mermaid tail wrapped around a dagger," I uttered.

    "Yep. It’s a hunter’s tattoo, Hnie." As soon as he said that, my heart dropped.

    "What do you mean?" I asked him. "Is Kaye a hunter? Is he a mermaid hunter?" I began to panic, but Emmet quickly shook his head. He stretched one arm out and gently held my elbow, pulling me closer.

    The moment he did that, my handsnded gently on his biceps while his hands were holding my arms.

    "He’s not a mermaid hunter. He’s a siren hunter," Emmet exined.

    "But I remember his curse is that he wants to kill me. Is it because I’m a mermaid?" I started panicking.

    That would exin why he was suddenly interested in his other mate. He probably didn’t want me because I was a mermaid.

    "He’s a siren hunter. You’re not a siren. And he’s supposed to kill his mate. Do you not put two and two together?" he asked, pulling me even closer, until my elbows were pressed against the sides of his stomach and my hands reached his shoulders.

    "What do you mean?" I uttered.

    I was slightly lost because of his touch, but I tried hard to focus on the wall and the tattoo.

    "You’re not a siren. Then who else could be?" he asked, looking straight into my eyes.

    And I gasped.

    "Kesha?"

    As soon as I said that, Emmet nodded.

    "But then why wouldn’t he want to kill her?" I asked, gently raising my hand from his chest to point anywhere, just to reference her.

    "You know sirens are good at trapping men with their voices?" he asked and I began to nod.

    "She’s manipting his mind. There’s very little difference between a siren and a mermaid. And she’s using that to confuse him," As he concluded, I was even lost.

    No wonder she pushed me into the water. She knew my truth. She knew I would turn into a mermaid.

    It was all making sense now. And I was honestly scared. But then again, it could all be just a conspiracy.

    Justst week, just a few days ago, I was just a werewolf. Now a mermaid. And now I had an enemy.

    Wow. It was going to get very dirty from here.

    "What are we going to do now? How will we even know if your conspiracy is true?" I asked Emmet

    While I was focusing on his face, I watched him gently raise his hand and softly touch my cheek, then brush my hair behind my ear. As he removed his hand, he rubbed his finger down my jawline before reaching for my chin.

    "We will do something," he uttered, his eyes on my lips, his fingers gently pinching my chin.

    He looked so distracted that it gave me goosebumps.

    "Sorry," he said, as if he had just realized he had no right to touch me after being used of pushing me down the well.

    But the moment he was about to remove his hand from my chin, I held it. I noticed how warm his body was.

    "I’m still not sure why I pushed you down there. And it kills me that I became the reason," he said.

    As soon as he started speaking, I cupped his face and crashed my lips against his. I could tell he didn’t expect it, because my forearm was resting on his chest, and I felt his heart skip a beat.
