The Abyssal Contract [OMEGAVERSE]

"Aboard this ship, you may think yourself the jailer...
Yet beneath eight meters of deep water, who is truly on her knees?"
On a tempestuous night in the open sea, Sylvia Cross, a cold, unyielding female Alpha captain, hauls an ancient creature from the oceanic abyss in pursuit of an astronomical bounty.
Immaculately beautiful from the waist up, her lower body is a powerful caudal fin of silver shimmering with iridescent cobalt blue.
Ariel, a pureblood mermaid Omega, is confined within an armored glass tank in the hold as mere ‘cargo.’
Yet those aquamarine eyes betray no panic—only a deeply concealed, perilous allure.
When Ariel’s pure pearl pheromones diffuse through the water, awakening the Alpha’s primal instincts beyond control, the balance shifts. Every feeding... every moment wrapped in the icy coil of that silver tail... and every breath exchanged through deep-water kisses to sustain life gradually overturns the dynamic between predator and prey.
Sylvia believes she has trapped her captive within a glass cage, never realizing the mermaid chose her as her guardian from the very beginning. And when enemies from the surface world arrive to reclaim their prize, the proud captain who has never bowed to anyone must make her choice: sacrifice the vessel that is her entire life, or surrender everything in the human world for a bond of love forged in the depths of the ocean.
"In these waters... I make the rules.
And you are my only queen, Sylvia."
