Once upon a time, I had thought that the worst thing to ever happen to me was being abducted by aliens. It turns out that wasn’t the case at all. 

The worst thing to have ever happened was to be betrayed by the one thing you needed to survive. 

After the Alliance fell, my AI powered ship released me from the lab I had been in for the past few months. Not wanting to look like the monster I knew him to be, Lucifer sold me to a pleasure station, hoping that I would die a quick and painful death. 

He should have had a conversation with my parents before he did that. At least then, he could have been assured that I was nothing if not a constant source of disappointment. 

Instead of dying, I lived in that hell for almost a year before a military operation took out the pleasure station and all of us poor females with it. Thinking that this was my chance at freedom and a life of my own, I was sorely disappointed to find myself back in yet another cage.

Swimming in a pool in the center of my new cage, staring up at the gold bars surrounding me, I waited. 

For freedom or death, I really didn’t know, but I waited. 

All I had ever wanted was to be part of a world, to find that one place in all the universe that belonged to me. 

But unlike my mermaid namesake, I had no witch to grant me my wish, no Prince Charming to save me.

That was… until they showed up and killed my owner.

They told me that they could take me anywhere in the known universe. I just had to ask.

The problem was I had no idea where to go. I had no home and no way back to Earth.

But that didn’t stop them from showing me the universe. 

And then, one day, I found it. The one place I could call home. It was their world... and all I wanted to be was part of it. However, before I could call it mine, I had to fight for it. 

Jokes on them. I’d been fighting my whole life, and now, I finally found something worth fighting for.

You can run.

You can hide.

But if you fuck with me and mine…

You best be prepared to die.

My name is Ariel. Let me show you my new world.

Part Of Your World

Like every other part of this castle, the master bedroom was straight out of a fantasy. It shared the same gothic design that I loved, with the columns and overreaching arches. You could see the detail and artistry that went into carving the vines and other drawings that seemed to add to the idea that this room was built for a princess.

The tall ceilings were amazing, making the room feel so open and big, and just for a second, I pictured Ba'dqeel in here, wondering if he would have the horn space he needed. Honestly, the room alone was probably bigger than my husband's house in the compound, and I didn't think that there would be a problem having all four of my mates in this room all at once.

In the center of the room was a huge canopy bed, even bigger than Ba'dqeel's bed back on his ship. It looked to have been made of ice, just like everything else, but when I reached out to touch it, it seemed… almost warm.
