Chapter 39: Match Made in Night
"So Mal what do you say? Do you like Luna?" Emilia asked with a glimmer in her bright green eyes.
In college she was the designated matchmaker for all of her friends. She'd never failed to spot the potential of a couple before and she wouldn't start now!
Malachi was still reeling from Sei's sudden permission and was completely at a loss for what to say.
He already had one super hot older girlfriend and now she was telling him he could have two?
Just the thought alone was enough to make him cream his jeans.
Suddenly he saw Luna staring at him out of the corner of her eyes and got a first hand reminder of just how beautiful the woman was.
With a red blush on her soft white cheeks, she was even cuter and Malachi found her practically irresistible.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that she was every man's dream woman.
Strong, dependable, gorgeous and accomplished.
And even though she hardly showed it, Malachi knew that she hid some softer sides deep inside as well.
Plus she was older than him!
She was checking all of his boxes!
Other than Sei, he could not imagine a more perfect woman for him!
From the moment he first laid eyes on her he'd been drawn to her.
Only now was he realizing that what he felt was romantic interest.
"I do." Malachi said after much internal debate.
His words seemed to send Luna into a spiral as her face finally reached an unhealthy shade of red.
Morgan and his wives all had satisfied smiles before they turned to Luna.
"And you? Do you hold any special feelings for Malachi?" Crystal asked Luna.
Currently, Malachi was in class absentmindedly listening to his professors lecture.
After Malachi's dungeon raid aired on tv, he never bothered to say anything about Malachi's glasses again.
'I guess I should go visit Rowan after I leave here.'
He hadn't seen the old man in a few days and he was quite curious whether he could help him master more of his abilities.
He hadn't forgotten Raijin's warning about their being worse things to come so he wanted to be prepared for the inevitable struggle.
'I wonder… were others warned as well?' He wondered before his exhaustion caught up to him and he slowly dozed off.
Malachi eventually woke up to the gentle sensation of someone nudging his shoulder.
Before he'd even opened his eyes, he knew exactly who was in front of him.
"Hey, just because you get straight As doesn't mean you can fall asleep in class."
Malachi looked up to see Melanie standing above him with a sympathetic expression.
"This isn't like you, are you alright?" She asked.
Malachi groggily looked around and saw that they were the only ones present in the classroom. "Yea I'm…fine."
Melanie correctly guessed what he was looking at and immediately explained. "I think everyone else might've been too scared to wake you."
"Scared?" Mal muttered.
He soon remembered that the entire world had seen him turning into a giant seven foot beast and figured that explained the sudden apprehension of his classmates.
"Well I should be going, Take care of yourself."
Mal watched her walk away and head towards the door.
He prepared to call out to her and thank her for waking him when he saw something that made his blood run cold.
Brief flashes of dark black bruises could be seen on Melanie's slender, pale arms.
