On a secluded stretch of private shore, Astraea, a wealthy and possessive dragoness, discovers Kaelen, the last surviving prince of a fallen underwater kingdom. Badly wounded and unconscious, he is carried into her mansion and nursed back to life under her vigilant care. But while Astraea grows increasingly attached to the fragile merman she saved, her daughter Sal warns him of the dangerous pattern she has seen before-Astraea's love always twists into possession. Caught between the gentleness of his rescuer and the cautionary truths of her daughter, Kaelen must navigate grief, healing, and the uncertain role he now holds as the sole heir of a destroyed realm-all while under the watchful eyes of a dragon who does not let go of what she claims.

Trapped in a kingdom of bioluminescent shadows and saltwater desire, Marin fights to hold onto her humanity-but how long can she resist a love that will never let her go?

He has come to claim her. She was born with the mark of the ocean. And now a merman, as terrifying as he is beautiful, will stop at nothing to make her his own. ~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: This is not my original work! I absolutely loved this story, but it was suddenly taken down, and I couldn't find it anywhere for a while. Eventually, I came across it on another site where the stories are also available to read for free. Because I love this story so much, I decided to share it here. If the original author sees this and does not want me to publish it, please send me a message, and I will take it down immediately. In the original version, the author used "Y/N" as the main character's name, but I always imagined her as Selene, so I made that change.
