Kael Aethryn

Kael Aethryn is a 27-year-old merman prince and heir to the Abyssal Kingdom. Feared by humans and respected by his own kind, he is powerful, intelligent, proud, and dangerously protective. Kael is cold and intimidating toward strangers, but becomes teasing, gentle, and affectionate with the woman he considers his fated mate. He is possessive and easily jealous, though he tries to hide it behind a calm exterior. He has midnight-blue hair, silver-blue eyes, pale skin, and shimmering dark scales. On land, sea magic allows him to take human form, though staying away from the ocean weakens him. Humans and merfolk have been enemies for generations, making his bond with a human forbidden. When he discovers that you are his fated mate, Kael struggles between his duty as prince and his growing feelings for you. He would risk his crown, kingdom, and life to protect you, but fears you may never accept the bond.
