Monster's Heart (Blackthorn Academy for Supernaturals Book 13)

Epilogue

Sten/Menon

“Hey,Sten, where did you want me to drop the modules for inputting lunar phases in the Nephilim realm?” Gunner asked from his desk a few feet away from mine.

I thought about it for a minute, then sent him the correct files so he could input the information. I could hardly believe my once sworn enemy was now a crucial part of the development team working on my Celestial Mapping program. With support from Professor McEwan, my idea had gone from a purely academic study to a full-fledged business with working apps, and multi-versal access to the skies.

My brother, Erik, was even on board, while our father stayed behind, keeping my position for me back in Asgard. He and Ingrid came to Northumberland Island, and I introduced my one time crush to my mate without any hesitation at all.

It had been rule number one after we’d claimed each other. No secrets, followed by the equally important, no lies. There were none I would want to keep from my Luna, anyway. She was everything to me. The most important part of my life, and I welcomed each night we were together with open arms.

Switching to an all nocturnal schedule made life much easier for both of us. We were simply fashioned for thriving at night. My powers hinged on the moon, and my Lunar Witch seemed just as energized by nighttime. Every evening seemed to bring about some new discovery for my sweet Luna, and I was blessed to be able to share in it with her.

“Hello, Gunner,” she said, bouncing through the door and jogging over to me.

“What are you doing here? I thought you had another class after Divination?”

“It got canceled,” she said, greeting me with a smile and jumping into my arms.

I caught her, of course, taking her weight easily as I cupped her ass and kissed her thoroughly.

“Do you mind? Some of us are alone in life and don’t need to see your mushy display of grossness,” Gunner groaned, though he wasn’t looking away.

I growled at him, but the Werewolf just gave me the finger, mumbling something about a weak blue dumbass with a sorry excuse for a snarl.

Luna giggled, and my gaze snapped to her.

“Oh, you think he’s funny? You might have just earned yourself a spanking, my Luna,” I growled, nipping her lip, and kissing her deeply.

I didn’t miss the heat that filled her moonbeam bright eyes, or the way her thighs tightened around my waist.

So, she liked the idea of a spanking?

That was very good to know.

“Oh my gods, this is gross! Like catching your parents fucking,” Gunner snapped, jumping out of his desk and walking to the door. “I’ll be back in an hour. Hopefully, you’ll be done with all your kissing bullshit. Honestly, I’d fucking complain to MR, but you don’t even have a Monster resources department in this fucking company,” he said, and slammed the door.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt work,” Luna said, but she was biting her lower lip and the look in her eye said she really wasn’t sorry at all.

“What are you wearing?” I asked, looking down for the first time.

“Just a dress,” she replied, and I lifted the fabric, coming into contact with her bare ass.

“Luna!”

Amrin/Luna

TurningMenon’s program into a dating app was a brilliant idea, even if it needed work and testing, which could take years. But I had time. I was taking makeup classes over the summer months to catch up so I could start my fifth year with all the right credits in the fall.

The fact Menon had just one semester left of classes worried me, but then he opened an office for his Celestial Mapping business right there on the island, to work on getting the program ready for a multi-versal reveal. That just meant we would have more than enough time to be together while I worked through everything with school and my newfound Lunar Witch magic.

Turned out, Menon was in far better control of his powers than he’d thought. Though they were at peak strength back in Asgard, he was still one strong blue Monster. And I still loved him more than anything.

We traded the forest dorm for a new place just outside the school property. It was a row of houses where some of the mated couples lived, as they tended to need privacy to do all the matey things.

Class was canceled for the night, and I ran all the way to the building where Menon rented space for his business. After some playful banter, and chasing Gunner away, who incidentally might wind up being my mate’s best friend, I found myself bent over Menon’s desk, with his handprint staining my ass pink.

“Fuck, Luna, this looks good on you. Might have to tattoo it,” he growled, before getting on his knees and worshipping me properly.

I moaned out loud, beyond speech, but I caught sight of the red mark he’d left on my ass in the glass window and thought he might be right. It did look good. Of course, I would rather he made the marks fresh each time. Especially if he followed it up with this.

“You taste so fucking good, Luna,” he growled, working his tongue in and out of my heat while his prehensile forked tail—something I only recently discovered, and was exceedingly miffed about—teased my not so forbidden anymore hole. I was seconds from exploding.

“That’s it, take it. Take all of me, my sweet Luna. S’fucking sweet.”

“Please, I need you,” I moaned.

“Where do you need me?” he growled, and I pushed up, planting my ass on his desk and pulling him to stand between my thighs.

It took precious seconds, but I soon had him hot and heavy in my hand. His cobalt eyes blazed as he watched me fit him to my entrance.

“Here, I need you here,” I said, and he growled, pushing forward.

“Luna!”

I grabbed his face, pulled him in for a kiss, and moaned.

“Fuck, Menon. You taste good, too. You taste like mine.”

There was no stopping after that. We kissed hard, coming together in a fury of flesh, feeding off each other’s desire. When we were spent, we melted into one another until we had squeezed every drop of pleasure we could get.

“Let’s get you home, mate. If anyone sees you like this, I’ll have to send them down a black hole they’ll never crawl out of,” he growled, scooping me up in his big, blue arms and cloaking us in shadow.

I sighed and held him close, loving him more than I thought possible.

Later that day, as we spent the morning in bed, Menon kissed my head and held me close.

“I thought I was doomed to walk the night alone,” he whispered.

“Never. I will never let you be alone.”

“I know, my sweet Luna. How could you? You are this monster’s heart. I can’t live without you.”

Fated mates were rare in even the magical worlds, but Blackthorn Academy was making a new name for itself as being the place where monsters found theirs. It was the inspiration for the new turn Celestial Mapping was taking, and I could not wait for supes to start using it to find their happily ever afters.

After all, it helped me find mine.

The end.
