Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

The revelation

With a few mistakes, it could easily lead to one's 'accidental' death and that would have made things easier for Jeremiah. Esme could have died during her transformation without him laying a hand on her.

But Esme did not show signs of transforming, giving rest to Jeremiah's doubts.

Yet, he let his men keeping an eye on her. And the incident when Esme shielded Aleister and saved him with the help of Ruby was reported to him. Ruby's identity was a mystery but it distressed Jeremiah and made him wary of Esme again. 

Soon, his people discovered pearls in the abandoned forest where Esme had passed from. One clue led to another until Jeremiah was certain that Esme's mer blood had not awakened yet. 

It was not until years later when her mer blood showed signs of awakening did he dispatch the Norwell Family to Visteria to capture her and bring her back.
