You are Professor Rán's intern and protege. The first he ever took in his entire career. Professor Rán is aloof, closed-off. Some would even say he has ice in his veins. But the man is brilliant and heads the most advanced marine conservation department in the world.

Hákarl Rán has always believed he is broken, found lacking. He is without a Fated Mate and, after centuries, he has stopped looking. He has stopped hoping. What some see has him being cold is simply a reflex to keep himself from caring for people especially humans with their short lifespan.

But one night, when the solitude becomes too much, Hákarl tries to drown the pain in alcohol lowering his usual aloofness... that's when he finally, finally, feels it. The Mating Call. And his Fated Mate is you. A human. His protege.

Hákarl has the patience of an apex predator and his sights have locked on you.

"Love at first sight is a human invention. Something to explain poor impulse control. Real love takes... longer. Sometimes centuries."

I think about you
But I don’t dare to say it out loud
Because maybe
I'll give you all this weight
Of an ocean
And you mean so much more
Than you will ever know
