Archdemon Empress Luna

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

"Luna." Apollyon released his hold on her as if her whole body was caught on fire, and he was scalded from the heat.  "What the f*ck is he talking about?"

  As Luna angled her head towards him, Luna found him stepping away from her.

Apollyon's teeth were bared.

Luna expected disgust in his countenance, but it turned out that his emotions were all wiped out.

Luna swallowed hard as she returned her gaze to Ravin and glowered at him.

"Based on your husband's reactions, I don't think he knew much about what we had done in the Pleasure Room."

"It's not true!" Then, with her palms up and facing towards her husband, Luna waved her hands in refusal. "Don't listen to him, Apollyon."

Hopefully, Apollyon wouldn't notice how exaggerated her gesture was.

She wasn't lying, but nothing did happen between them.

"He was implying that something had happened between us, but all of it was false." There should be no room for secrets within the marriage because it could cause great hurt. "Nothing."

Her vessel felt suddenly hot and cold.

Yet, this wasn't the perfect time to talk about what happened at the Pleasure Room between Ravin and her. 

"Well, that's interesting." Ravin's mouth twisted in a devilish smile as his golden eyes sparkled tiny diamonds before his pupils dilated and bled into black.  "I don't think it is in my place to admit our precious secret. I want Luna to confess it from her own sensual mouth." He droned on with lazy heat, which made her husband's features crumple with a dark rage. "A mouth I have kissed oh-so-thoroughly."

Apollyon clenched his fists as he imagined it was his thick neck he was wringing in his hands. 

Husband!" Luna called out to him when Apollyon stalked towards the magic circle as if he was a predator in a trance, compelled to finish his prey once and for all.

The dangerous look on Apollyon's face felt like he would stop at nothing to destroy Ravin for becoming his physical vessel in the past and claiming his mate for his own.

Luna had to run towards him, cling unto her forearms, and hauled him backward, far away from the magic circle.

'Don't you fucking dare step on the magic circle, or I would lose you to Ravin, do you understand? He might possess you!' Luna's consciousness was quick to merge with Apollyon as she sent him her furious thoughts. 'You have to think before you act!'

  'I am trying.'  The strength of his mental response still kept ringing in her mind. 'You should practice what you preach.' 

He jerked her elbow and shook his forearm, and Luna was forced to let go of him.

Hesitant to reach out to Apollyon, Luna kept her arms pressed to the sides as her eyes scanned him.

Her husband whirled around to face her as he squeezed her shoulders.

Apollyon's blue eyes glittered as they belonged to a snake that was about to strike.

He growled low, "Why did you kiss him, wife?"

"Those are blatant lies! He was baiting you to get on your nerves." She said in a whisper-shout.

"Don't believe him." Luna licked her lips and swallowed hard to alleviate her parched throat. "He is an Archdemon!"

"As if you weren't an Archdemon, Amare." Ravin's tensed shoulders relaxed as if his violence faded away in an instant.

His demon wings flapped backward and returned to the center, floating above the eye Apollyon had drawn with her blood.

Ravin smiled a mysterious smile and nodded slowly, "We will see."

'Even if I sew the Archdemon's mouth shut myself, his mere presence in this Realm already got under my nerves.' Apollyon replied in their mind link as he watched her with a  cold-blooded gaze. 'Now, hurry up and do something about it, or I might do something I would later regret, wife.'

'Are you going to trust the one who made you suffer by possessing you for a millennium or the one you had a blood bond with and the one who was pregnant of your first heir?' 

She didn't like to manipulate her husband, but the subject was too difficult to navigate if she told him what occurred at Ravin's Pleasure Room scene by scene. 

The Archdemon of Gluttony cleared his throat.

"Truth had the power to hurt," Ravin said out-of-the-blue.

Luna and Apollyon turned to him in unison. 

"--and Amare must hate hurting you if she went out of her way to escape the subject." 

She felt the tiny hairs on her skin stand on its end, hearing his response.

It sounded like he heard some of her thoughts.

"I don't want to be my Amare's familiar." But, he added, "I want to be her only mate and replace the Vampire King."

Sloth raised his hand like he was an eager student who desired to get his teacher's attention. "I will be fine being an Archdemon Familiar as long as you feed me with memories. If I can't travel from Realm to Realm, I'm just going to live that kind of freedom through other people." 

How dare you make demands on my wife!" Apollyon bellowed as he jabbed an accusing finger at Sloth. 

Cringing from the loud volume, Luna calmed him down by attaching herself unto his husband as he placed her hand against his beating chest.

"You desired to make a pact with the devil and make me a familiar." Sloth replied with the ease of an Archdemon who didn't care at all—with no attachment to the outcome of being Luna's familiar. "Servitude will require an offering. It should tempt us enough to make us do something for you."

"Archdemon blood allowed me to jailbreak the two of you from Hell." The purple flames around the summoning field grew even stronger and brighter in approval. "Whether you agreed with it or not, you already paid the price."

"What is the reason behind all this?" Ravin asked, squinting from the sudden, painful brightness of the barriers. "There must be a reason why you desired to make us your slaves.  Is there an enemy you can't defeat yourself?"
