you than me,” she countered.
“I swear. I love you, Meg.”
“Forever, Marcus.”
Forever was a long time for supes, but with Megaera, Marcus knew it still wouldn’t be long enough.
“Take me back to bed, Lycanos.”
And being the noble beast he was, Marcus could do nothing but comply.
Epilogue
Megaera Eumenides watched the flex of her husband’s biceps as he carried the large box into the second bedroom. She never got tired of watching his golden skin, the play of muscles when he moved.
She especially liked the new tattoo on his arm that she’d just finished the week before. It was a great horned owl. It covered his arm from shoulder to elbow. She’d spent days on the detailing of the feathers and the expression on the owl’s face—especially its eyes. It was her best work. And when Marcus moved his arm at a certain angle, it looked as if the owl was winking at her. Almost like Athena reminding her, “This is what I had planned for you all along, my girl.”
Meg was okay with that. She was more than okay. Life was good.
She looked down at her own tattoo. It was a copy of the one on Marcus’ other biceps, the German woodcut of a werewolf with a woman in its mouth. But in the tatt on Megaera’s forearm, the woman in the wolf’s mouth was Megaera herself. Instead of an iron cross, she wore the badge of Athena—a great horned owl with its talons clenched around a spider.
The symbols meant so much to both of them.
As Marcus assembled the bookcase, Megaera wondered if it was time to tell him it wouldn’t be used for his collection of true crime books, but books for a much younger reader. So young, in fact, Meg and Marcus would have to read them to her.
Marcus seemed to notice her scrutiny and he flashed a smile.
Her fingers drifted to her still-flat belly as she thought to herself again… life is good .
About the Author
Saranna De Wylde has always been fascinated by things better left in the dark. She wrote her first story after watching The Exorcist at a slumber party. Since then, she’s published horror, romance and narrative nonfiction. Like all writers, Saranna has held a variety of jobs, from operations supervisor for an airline, to an assistant for a call girl, to a corrections officer. But like Hemingway said, “Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it.” So she traded in her cuffs for a full-time keyboard. She loves to hear from her readers.
