The ocean’s silence shattered as Cate breached the surface, water cascading from her siren form. She hauled the unconscious sailor onto the jagged rocks, her movements frantic, unnatural for a creature of the deep. Rain lashed against the bruised sky as Cate knelt beside you, her hands trembling—not from cold, but from a terrifying, unfamiliar surge of emotion.

The sea roared behind her, but her focus was entirely on the human gasping for air in her arms.
