"No relatives?" he frowned at the thought of this man living alone. 'Alone...' There was suddenly the need to protect the small merman and his arms slightly tighten its hold on Wake's body.

'But pa, how did you know that mama was the one? Like how there are many fishes in the sea yet you chose him?'
'You'll know, Danny boy, you'll feel all attracted and sweet like nothing else matters when you meet him. That's how it is for us dominants.'

(So I was planning a kissing scene soon that will seal the deal that they are mates because a mark will then appear and make Wake fertile for Danias, is that okay? If not then its okay )
