Vampire King Apollyon

**********************

"Lilith had taken over your consciousness for a few minutes. We must prepare ourselves because she might do that again." Apollyon hugged her so hard that he didn\'t care if his beloved can still breathe.

He closed his eyes as he relished the feel of Luna\'s warm body against his.

This was his wife—the beloved mate—that he knew.

"I hate to admit that Lilith had more power over me since she was a f*cking Archdemon. She used her Archdemon Magic on me first and I couldn\'t move before I could cast even more vicious spells on her so I was hesitant to hurt? you, wife." Apollyon murmured as he stroke her hair gently.? " I hate that what she said was true.? I can\'t destroy her once when? you and our heir are in their way."

"In the way, huh?" Hopefully, he didn\'t make it seem like he blamed her, and it was her fault. Luna\'s voice was muffled as she buried her face on his chest. "It must be hard for you to deal with me and the baby, Apollyon."

That sounded like an apology for their existence, and that didn\'t sit well with him.

As he tucked her head under his chin, Apollyon sniffed the crown of her head and committed her scent into memory.

It was only for a few minutes that Lilith controlled her consciousness, but he missed her so much he didn\'t know what to do.

"You got it all wrong." He exhaled a breath as tears began to blur his vision, but he didn\'t let it leak from the corner of his eyes.

Vampire Kings like him never shed any tears for anyone—for any woman-- before he met his wife. His previous solution was to kill the people who made him feel negative emotions at once.

Then, everything will be alright.

He was a changed man now.

That tactic couldn\'t be applied anymore because he had to learn how to deal with those feelings.

The Archdemon of Envy spoke the truth that Luna was his weakness.? "I love you too much to sacrifice our family? and eliminate that Archdemon for the sake of my peace of mind. But, I can\'t do? it since it\'s you."

Luna pulled back to see his expression, and he saw green eyes darken with melancholy, "Would it help this Realm? if? Leo and I were to die for the greater good?"

"Don\'t you dare even say that." He said in a low growl.

That serious question seemed to claw him from the inside out.

Doom and gloom hang heavy in the atmosphere.

It was like a dark cloud hovering over their heads that refused to go away.

"There is no such thing as greater good, beloved. If you die to keep this Realm safe, I would drag everyone down with us to Hell." His beloved\'s death will crush him, making his heart bleed for the rest of his immortality. "I would rather die along with you. Remember that. I? still hadn\'t given up on becoming an Archdemon."

"Husband." Luna cupped his jaw as he stroke his raven hair away from his forehead with gentle hands. "I have a hunch that Archdemon of Sloth\'s assumption was true."

Apollyon nodded, "You have told me about this. I talked the Archdemon of Envy about this when she had taken over your body."

Her eyes widened in surprise. "You told her about our speculations?" She frowned in disapproval, "You shouldn\'t have or she will have notions on what are next move was."

"I didn\'t reveal much but this time I want to see her reaction." Apollyon combed the strands of her hair with his fingers. "I was hopeful? that I can gather hints of her weaknesses and? triggers."

"What did she say then?"

"At first, she told me that I will never get rid of her even after the babe is born. It led me to ask myself the real purpose of why she was keeping our heir alive in the first place. She was a ruthless Archdemon…. I know Lilith would either use our baby to threaten us and make me do what she wanted or either kill her while it was still early to instill fear in me." Apollyon explained, and Luna\'s eyes and ears were on him. "Then, I pretended not to care and I challenged her to kill it right now if it didn\'t make a difference. Lilith flinched a little as she pursed her lips."

Frown lines marred Luna\'s forehead, and Apollyon continued, "I sense her arrogance dwindling. I allowed my muscles to relax as I added that I wouldn\'t stop her. Yet,? I was ready to choose violence if she pushed through with it. I waited but nothing happened. I noticed a slight tremor in her voice when she said that she only planned to kill the heiress at the right time."

"Very suspicious, indeed, " Luna remarked as she scrutinised the moisture from the corner of his eyes, and she wiped the evidence with her hands.

He was surprised that his beloved had a hawk-like gaze when it came to him.

However, it didn\'t escape her notice, and he was grateful that his wife had paid attention to little things about him.

Luna watched her with pure love when she asked, "Can you promise me something, Apollyon?"

"Tell me." Apollyon said.

Shoulders hunching in defeat, Luna sighed before she began, "About Lilith\'s attachment to my baby, we need to endure for about five months until I gave birth. The moment I had the babe in my arms, we must prepare for the moment where the Archdemon of Envy is most vulnerable."

"We don\'t know what she will do if? her anchor in my physical vessel is removed? but I predicted that she will become an infernal machine if she lacked stability inside me." Luna smiled to diffuse the gravity of her condition.. "If we failed with the mission and there was nothing we can do with Lilith, I think it would be better if? you would annihilate me along with her."
