Chapter 13

“Father!” she heard Tucker bellow. “Knock it off!”

Esther, who still had her tail and fins, slammed down against the hard ground when the water hit her full force, knocking the breath from her lungs. She wheezed as she tried to get ahold of anything to give her leverage to sit up, but failed miserably.

“Esther!” She vaguely saw Tucker scramble toward her, his arms reaching out to scoop her up and sit her upright. But from the corner of her eye, she realized she didn’t need his help as much as Nina would.

“Get the vampire,” she wheezed to him, as she watched helplessly while Nina stormed toward Tucker’s father and shook her head, her long hair spewing droplets of water everywhere, her eyes seething with rage.

“Is that the best you got?” Nina hollered, scaring everyone who’d gathered as she rushed Tucker’s father and jammed her face up toward his. “C’mon, you fishy fuck! Let’s go!”

Giving her over to Marty, Tucker ran to prevent an argument that she supposed would be epic if it got out of hand.

“Nina!” he yelled, putting himself between the vampire and his irate father. “Stop! Both of you stop!”

But Tucker’s father wasn’t of a mind to listen. As displayed when he howled, “How dare you bring these people here and expose us, Tucker! Have you lost your bloody mind? How dare you come here after I’ve banished you! Get off my land—take these miscreant ground people, and get off my land!”

“Getty Pearson!” a female voice shouted from the lake. “What are you doing out here, carrying on like some unleashed animal? I won’t have this in my home, you beast!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the lake, where a beautiful woman, her long golden hair spilling around her shoulders and down into the water, trudged forward as someone ran to her with a towel and wrapped it around her. Moonlight shone down on her perfectly sculpted face, her cheekbones high, her lips full, her alabaster skin unlined.

Tucker was the first to react as he turned around and nodded curtly. “Mother,” he acknowledged.

So, this was Tucker’s mother? God. Why was everyone so pretty? She didn’t look like she could be anyone’s mother, let alone someone as old as Jessica or Tucker.

As she strode to stand where Nina, Getty and Tucker faced off, she did so regally, ignoring the stares and gaping open mouths of the other merpeople until she approached her husband.

Delicate hands on slender hips, she gazed up at her husband with angry eyes. “What are you out here screeching about, Getty? Honestly, why must you communicate as though you were raised by Neanderthals?”

Getty—strong, proud, very, very loud—blustered then waffled, his wide chest deflating when his wife cocked an eyebrow at him and waited for an answer. “You know why, Serafina,” he offered quietly. “Yet, I’ll say it again for posterity. Money is missing from our company. Some of it accounted for and found in Tucker’s accounts, some of it not accounted for and still missing. And not some small amount, wife.
