The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 107
‘Dicken! It’s Dicken! It has to be him! ‘
Although the call sounded like it came from far away and was only faintly discernable, it seemed to
have reawakened my will to live. I kicked at the claws that were grabbing my legs and quickly made my
way up to the surface.
The moment I broke through the surface, I opened my mouth wide to take in a large gulp of air, then
started coughing violently. When I pushed away my wet hair that had been blocking my vision, I saw
numerous glowing orbs in the water. They were the eyes of the merpeople staring at me hungrily.
I frantically waved my arms to feel around for a section of the cave wall that I could lean onto. When I
finally found one, I leaned against it and held my breath in wait for their attack. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
But the merpeople didn’t attack me immediately. They looked like they were hesitating, like they were
worried about something. They didn’t even
surround me. They gulped restlessly then swam toward the hole I was almost dragged into. They
looked like they were curtseying as if they were anticipating the arrival of their king.
Dicken’s call sounded closer as my heart raced. I figured that I should get as far away from the water
as I could, so I crawled up higher and onto the horizontal section of the wall. The group of merpeople
seemed to be distracted by Dicken’s call and was no longer paying attention to my movements.
When Dicken’s voice reached closer to the hole, I felt something tugging on my leg. I saw a red figure
flash toward me in the water, and before I could scream, I was dragged into the water yet again.
Then, a pale arm grabbed my waist and brought me out of the water.
I was stunned by what happened in those few seconds and panted as my body tensed up again. I
lowered my head and saw the pale arm and webbed claw around my waist. I knew that it had to be the
same red-haired merman who had dragged me into the water then pushed me out of it.
It was only then that I realized that not all of the merpeople had curtsied when they heard Dicken’s call.
Some of them followed closely behind this red- haired merman like they were his bodyguards. Their
numbers were comparable to the number of merpeople curtsying as they awaited Dicken’s arrival.
I deduced that I was now involved in their conflict for the alpha position among the merpeople.
Perhaps this red-haired merman wanted to have me in his hands not because he was interested in me
but because he wanted to challenge Dicken. He could have thought that I was Dicken’s spoil of battle
from the last time they fought, and now, he wanted to have me in his hands as a way to go against
Dicken and gain the position and rights as alpha.
”Scumbag ! Screw off ! Let go of me! ” I frantically struggled and hit the arm around my waist. (Only

placed a claw onto my stomach and ripped a hole in my clothes before digging into my skin as a
warning. If I continued to struggle, he would have most likely dug his claw deeper into my stomach.
”F*ck ! ” I cursed inadvertently. But the stinging pain in my stomach forced me to stop struggling and
keep still. However, even after I had stopped
moving, the red-haired merman ripped open my pants and reached into it to explore my crotch.
