ARchdemon Empress Luna
***************************
"It was simply a hug." Sloth opened his arms wide as if to prove a point. "It wasn\'t like someone\'s prick had—" He pinched his lips together when realization kicked in.
She couldn\'t believe that he had the audacity to say that in front of him.
His insensitivity earned him a disgusted look from her.
It was a massive understatement coming from the Archdemon.
Apollyon\'s scowl zeroed in on Sloth as he took a step forward.
Her husband found a new target.
"Nevermind." Sloth waved his hand in dismissal, "I take that back."
"These Familiars are testing my patience!"
Miraculously, Luna had regained her strength back after Apollyon had stopped his assault on Ravin, so she was ready to command these mischievous devils again.
"Close your eyes and sleep, Ravin. Sloth." Luna whispered as if she was singing a lullaby.
A particularly cold breeze ruffled his blond locks before Sloth paused, shut his eyes bit by bit and fell gracefully to lay on the grass along with Ravin\'s soft snores.
"I hope we could just let them sleep like babies until eternity," Apollyon said as both of them looked down at the faces of peaceful demons who had the appearance of angels.
Ravin--with his messy dark brown hair and chiselled jawline wearing a spare tunic which matched his mane. Pretty Sloth had donned a rose coloured tunic that complemented his blond hair and innocent countenance.
Yet, they only kept this image only when they were asleep.
Her husband added, "Our life would be better without these damned Archdemons in this Realm."
"We need them, according to Hecate." Luna sighed, "Lilith is not going anywhere from my physical vessel."
Apollyon took one look at her face and tucked the wayward strand of silver hair behind her ear when it blocked his view on her profile.
"Can you figure out the triggers you have which induced Lilith to take over you?"
"No. I don\'t know yet."? The fact that she couldn\'t control Lilith if she decided to come out crushed her heart.
The delusional High Priestess had taken over her physical vessel twice.
This time, the bitch had endangered the life of their heiress.
Her jaw clenched to stop herself from sobbing for the hundredth time today.? "That crazy woman is hard for us to predict."
"Wife." Apollyon reached for both of her hands and compelled her to face him, "I would ask you for the last time."
"Can I really trust you alone with Ravin?" He asked as he stroked her face gently. "That you wouldn\'t let him do anything to you?"
His Prussian Blue eyes spoke volumes, and it was full of unease and doubt.
"Yes. I have sworn my love and loyalty to you."
"Then what have I witnessed earlier? Are you going to say that my eyes are playing tricks on me?"
"It\'s a trap set by the Archdemon of Gluttony. He was inside your body for so long, so maybe, he did that on purpose. He knew what makes you tick. Don\'t allow Ravin to manipulate your emotions. He already knew that I am your weakness."
Apollyon gave her a knowing look as if he finally understood. "So you don\'t want me to react right away?"
"No violence as much as possible. Don\'t lose control."
Apollyon bent his neck and pressed a kiss to her brow.
"You are too beautiful for your own good. Maybe I should lock you up so that you would avoid men. That would help me keep my emotions in check."
His husky voice brought warmth to the soft ache on her lower stomach.
"You want to lock me up? Do you want me to follow your insane mother\'s footsteps?"
"That\'s the only thing that is stopping me, beloved. And the fact that I want to be different? than my father, the past Vampire King." Apollyon\'s gentle fingers lowered to caress her nape. "I wonder if you can keep your cool if Lilith s arms were draped around me. Can you promise that you wouldn\'t react if another girl tried to kiss me?"
The ugly notion tied a twisted knot in her stomach as she replied, determined. "I will make her taste her own blood, Apollyon."
"Exactly. I can\'t help but be possessive of my mate." There was a light pressure on the side of her throat when Apollyon squeezed them,? "You are mine. It is my right to stake my claim on you among other males. Do you understand?"
"First, I wouldn\'t ever be stolen from you and second, you are the only mate I have in my heart, do you understand?"
"If my Empress said so." Apollyon used to be stubborn and dominant, so it was surprising to hear it from his own mouth. "I will do what you want me to, beloved, as long as you avoid Ravin like how I avoid Lilith when she takes over you."
She didn\'t want to think about that, so he changed the subject. "Have you? told Princess Sapphire and Xerxes about the mission?"
"Yes. All of us, including the Summer Monarchs, have met in the infirmary. It\'s good that you and Sloth weren\'t there, or you would face King Oberon\'s wrath because of Princess Ourania\'s sick condition."
"King Oberon\'s hand?"
"The decay of his flesh is slow as Sloth had told him in the arena. It didn\'t bother the Summer King that much except for the colour of his skin, so they were focused on my mother\'s healing. All they did was pretend I wasn\'t in the same room while I called Princess Sapphire to leave Xerxes and meet me outside." Apollyon said.
"They can\'t hurt you since we won the challenge by law. You are their grandson too. It was just unfortunate for the Summer Monarchs had? to deal with the aftermath while we left the colosseum unscathed." Then, she asked further, "So, did Princess Sapphire and Xerxes agreed to go with us on Hecate\'s mission after explaining it to them?"
"Yes."? Apollyon agreed as he allowed his hand to fall to his side. "I also heard from Princess Sapphire that the Summer Monarchs would attempt to kill the Archdemons in secret."
