His webbed hands and claws were slightly larger now, sharp and strong, and his turquoise eyes glowed with an light intensity that captivated her.
Kyra's mouth dropped open in awe. The sight of him was breathtaking—dangerous yet incredibly beautiful all at once.
Oceanus swam gracefully toward the shore, his body slicing through the water effortlessly. As he reached the shallow part, he lifted his head, water streaming down his scales. His eyes remained fixed on Kyra, watching her every reaction.
