Changeover

When the lovely Sharia wakes to find a totally naked, stunningly handsome stranger ripping into her neck with the longest fangs she has ever seen, she does what any young woman in this situation would do she screams. But all is not what it appears to be. Shard, Lord of the Deep Waters and Ruler of all the Merfolk has chosen Sharia to be his mate and bear his young. She has touched a chord in the merman's heart, who is entranced by her beauty and the incredible sea green eyes. He is determined to have her; he feels the stirring of the mating frenzy that has not come upon him in much too long and realizes this diminutive beauty might just be the answer to the merfolk's lack of young. If Shard could get Sharia with egg, the scent of a pregnant female and the sight of the bulge in her belly would elicit a frenzied urge to mate in the rest of the mer and before long his people would bear young once more; it all hinged on whether he was right about this woman in front of him.
Sharia came to herself and remembered who the naked man in front of her was. She remembered walking along the beach at night when she couldn't sleep. She had been attracted to the house on the beach from the moment she saw it; it gave her a feeling of such peace. But late at night as she walked, she heard a wondrous voice singing to her, calling her to join him. It was a him, she knew from the start; the voice was rich and deep and pulsed with a sensual energy that made her skin tingle the instant he began to sing.
Without even thinking about it, she dove into the warm inviting water, swimming swiftly to join the wonderful voice. She was a good swimmer and in no time at all, she met up with him and slipped into his arms. He held her to his hard body and they talked and laughed, while he told her how much he wanted her. They kissed and her mind reeled. Never had she felt like this from a simple kiss. She wanted more; she wanted him never to stop kissing her. She wanted she wanted him. She never wanted to be out of his arms. Somehow, she slept in his arms as the night passed and when she woke; she was back in her own bed. Sadly, she remembered little of her beautiful singer. But still, each night she went to him, longing to see him again.
She took a trip to the islands, wanting to be on the deep sea, to feel closer to him. She hoped to catch a glimpse of her handsome merman. While she danced with an overeager steward, who received a hard slap for his wandering hands; she stood at the ship's railing hoping to cool her temper. She heard a call on the wind and her body thrilled at its sound. He was telling her to come, asking her to be with him and be his mate. She remembered jumping into his arms and then woke to find him tearing into her neck.
Shard, Lord of the Deep Waters and Ruler of all the Merfolk wondered if his chosen mate had changed her mind, but with her memory returning, so had her love for him. He explained to her that to be his mate, she would have to become one of the Merfolk to be able to bear his egg. He would have to perform the changes necessary for her to become like him.
But Changeover had not been performed for many centuries, and Shard was the last remaining merman that was even able to enact the change. He was worried as she was so diminutive and Changeover was incredibly painful and often fatal. Very few mortals had the courage or the strength to survive such a frightening ordeal. But Sharia looked trustingly into Shard's eyes. She knew it was going to hurt much more than she could imagine. But if she survived, she would be the mate of the most amazing man she had ever met and his love, she decided, was worth the risk.
He kissed her deeply, admiring the courage in the tiny woman and changed back into a mer. He needed to use his blood to perform Changeover and it would hurt him almost as much as it would her. But she was his last hope; he just desperately prayed she would survive.
