“I love you too, my darling Yu-jin. And I’m here to stay,” he says before allowing me entry into his mouth.

We kiss the whole day and the whole night.

And if I have anything to do with it, we’ll kiss forever after.

EPILOGUE - LUCIAN

Being in this world feels good. Being on Earth, feels good. But being with him feels better.

I’ve been alive for so long that it’s not even humorous anymore. And all this time, I never thought I’d find my true mate, the person I would instantly die to protect and would do the same for me. The person who would get me and want me. The person I would need like sustenance. Like a drug.

The person who would need me.

And yet…

I turn around and look at him. My Yu-jin. My darling boy.

He’s everything I could have ever asked for and more.

He glances at me, and my heart burns brighter. My entire body yearns for him. From the tip of my toes to the ends of my wings, and I know…I know he’s the one.

He’s the one I’m meant to spend eternity with.

Should I tell him? Should I let him know we’re bound to one another? That he shall live as long as I do and I as long as him. That our lives are so intertwined it’s as if they’re one?

“What?” he asks.

I open my mouth.

He sucks on his straw and his cheeks turn hollow as he tastes the liquid in his cup.

He looks so innocent. So young and sensitive, but I know the real power inside him. That tentacled monster, as good as it felt, is only the beginning.

“Nothing.” I shake my head and take a sip of my drink too.

Its sweetness is a welcome addition to my taste buds, but those chewy things invade my mouth, and I hold back a choke. “I…this drink is strange.”

It’s better if he doesn’t know. Yet. He may be strong, but he’s been through so much. My stomach twists at the memories. At the idea of how much he endured under those bastards.

I wish I could kill them all over again. Just me. Not Yu-jin. I wish I could bring them back to life just so I could rip them to shreds with my bare teeth. To torture them for as long as they kept him captive. To torture them for all eternity.

How one could look into those beautiful brown eyes and think evil things, I’ll never know.

What I do know is I won’t let anyone—anyone—hurt him ever again.

“I can’t believe you know all this stuff about magic, but you’ve never tried bubble tea before.”

He bumps my shoulder playfully. Well, my elbow, seeing as he’s so much smaller than me and can’t reach my shoulder.

Not unless he has some eldritch help. My cock twitches at the memory. At the prospect.

“Well, whenever I’ve been on Earth, I have been otherwise occupied.”

Yu-jin smiles with a nod.

“So? What’s the verdict? Do you like it?”

I stop in my tracks and turn to face him.
