A Siren's Wish
tying him to her.
    It was an act almost as old as civilization. She was a Siren and she was saving his life. In return he would become one of them, a Titan, tied forever to her.
    Releasing him from the power of her kiss, Sasha watched as the painful rapture tore through Chase. She wished she could help ease his pain but like any birth or in this case rebirth he had to bear the force of his choice.
    The minute he finished rapturing, the transformation from human to Titan was complete. He looked at her with such loving in his dark blue eyes that Sasha almost wanted to thank the Sea Witch for cursing her in the first place. Sasha was about to say something, but Chase captured her lips and poured all his passion for her and awe of the transformation into her.
    “I would die a thousand times for just the taste of your lips.”
    It was a silly line but she believed him and more than that, her heart told her he meant it.

Prologue
     
     
    Double Dutch was her favorite. With her twin sisters of the Past and Present holding either end of the bright pink skipping rope, Sesta jumped gaily into the middle. Her form shimmered with each bounce and her laughter spilled over into the adjoining halls of the Palace of Fate.
    The walls of the palace were lined with mirrors. Scenes from everyday life throughout the four kingdoms played themselves out like a video. Every once in a while a scene would catch the three sisters’ attention and for a brief moment the skipping game would be suspended.
    Lately, Sesta had a restlessness about her that drew her more and more to the mirrors. Keeping track of Fate was a daunting task, but she had been trained for it by the Creator and she would not let the Creator down.
    As her feet touched the marble floor, her eyes shifted to the right to briefly observe a scene playing itself out somewhere within one of the four kingdoms. There was something familiar about it. The action was taking place in her favorite kingdom—the magical, mystical undersea realm, where the Titans and Sirens of the undersea world lived their lives. They were her favorite beings.
    Like a thief in the night, Sesta spied on them. As an ancient celestial being, guilt had long ago left her consciousness. Sometimes when looking at these beautiful creatures of the deep, a raw emotion she couldn’t explain was awakened within her. At those times only she questioned her firm hands-off policy.
    “Bella, can you play that scene again?” asked Sesta, not missing a beat as the pink skipping rope twirled high over her head.
    “Not that one, it’s boring,” replied Bella, with an exaggerated sigh. As the Sister of the Past, it was Bella’s job to keep track of the past and to ensure events and actions within all four kingdoms took place at their appointed times.
    “She asked for you to play it,” said Ava, her Sister of the Present.
    That alone gave Sesta pause. In most cases, her two sisters viewed their jobs as tedious and tiring. They rarely gave a second glance to a scene playing itself out on the mirrors. Before she could ponder it any farther, the scene was bright and bold in front of her.
    The skipping rope was forgotten as Sesta watched the mirrors. Vaguely in the background she could hear her sisters’ whispered voices.
    “Why did you tell me to play it again?” asked Bella, her tone angry.
    “I am the Sister of the Present and this is to be,” replied Ava, her haughty voice soft with a hard edge to it.
    “You know this will ruin everything. There will be no more games if she…”
    A loud clang echoed throughout the halls.
    The Creator was calling them.
    Sesta stood rooted to the spot. The scene had shifted to another kingdom, another time, but still she couldn’t move. A searing shiver traveled through her body as new knowledge scorched all of her ancient souls.
    “Sesta, you must come with us,” said her sisters, as they
