《Don't Drink The Gene Juice》13
Advertisement
"Jenna, we're really happy to hear all this," Mom said later that night. "I'm glad that you feel so confident about this."
Jenna beamed with delight. She felt so full of relief.
"I knew she'd love being a mermaid!" Lily said, "I totally called it. She's been obsessed with the ocean her whole life. She like an inverse little mermaid."
Jenna giggled. "That gene juice was bad, but it definitely was better than a sea witch."
Dad got up from the couch, and walked over to a little cabinet in the desk in the other room.
"I think," he said, "that now might be a good time to let you know about something."
He came back into the living room with his tablet, which he pulled up to an official looking document.
Dad put it into Jenna's hands. It had a DeNeticA watermark on it.
"Dear Mr. Jones...," she began to read.
It was a long, very legal document. It looked very calculated to sound as nice, but safe, as possible. They expressed, through Dad, how distressed they were to learn that Jenna's order had been accidentally mixed up with, as they'd thought, a transgender girl who was going to celebrate her transition.
Putting a worry of hers to rest, thankfully, the physical orders hadn't literally been switched. The girl hadn't become a wolf. Jenna's had just accidentally become a duplicate of the girl's order.
The legal language went on, transitioning from saying they were sorry to covering their a**. But then Jenna saw what the a** covering was.
"...We are prepared to offer your daughter... A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HER CHOICE!"
She squealed out that last part, than smirked shrinking back a little as she saw her family covering their ears.
"Yes," Dad said with a smug look, "I threatened to sue. They gave in way more than I thought they would though."
Jenna tossed the tablet to an empty couch cushion, jumping up and hugging Dad.
"Oh thank you so much Daddy! Oh thank you thank you thank you!"
Dad laughed. "You really have changed a lot, haven't you?"
"For the better," Jenna grinned, "for the better."

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
