Hell's Consort

Chapter 341 - Blood Bond

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

Archdemon Empress Luna

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

Luna had gotten rid of Luxen, but she wouldn't be able to do the same if she was, indeed, pregnant with an Archdemon child.

As her jaws clenched with anger, Luna couldn't wait to exact revenge on the people who have ruined her life.

This demonic Faerie across her was why Lilith was successful with her blood magic ritual in the first place.

Distracted, Luna didn't notice the man emerging from behind the lady.

The stranger was taller than Prince Aspen and had the muscled physique of an ancient warrior.

He had golden-copper hair and a full beard around his chiselled jaw.

Luna squinted at the stranger, and he scowled back at her, baring his teeth like a ferocious wild animal.

He had a savage yet menacing aura around him.

'Why was this unknown man so angry at her?' Luna's eyebrows knitted in confusion. 'What had she done to deserve this?'

Fortunately, the stranger didn't dare stalk her and attacked her while she was chained to the ceiling.

Luna couldn't defend herself.

From Apollyon's cynicism, he hadn't planned to protect Luna from their angry companion, either, because all of them must have thought she was Lilith for some reason.

When she focused on his face, she abruptly felt a flash of recognition in his familiar grey eyes.

'Was that man, Cederic?' Luna had remembered that Lilith had cursed him. 'Had he grown without her notice?'

Cederic didn't break eye contact as they stared at each other. 'Was it broken?'

Too many revelations in just a period of time.

What was happening in this Realm?

She remembered that Apollyon had told her once about the different time frames between Hell and this Realm.

Luna had been in Hell for months before Apollyon had summoned her back using the power of the Fae who conjured Lilith.

She was gone from her body for two weeks in that short period Luna was with Ravin the first time he took her to his Kingdom,

Did this mean that an hour in Hell would be two weeks in the Middle Realms?

Was she separated from Apollyon for years?

Was it almost a decade already?

How could her husband endure this abomination when months had felt like an eternity to her?

Nevertheless, Luna decided to throw caution to the wind and trust her husband.

She wouldn't give up, no matter how many times he refused to believe in her.

The truth will always win in the end.

"I'm here, now, Apollyon, and I will be patient in answering all of your interrogations until you let your guard down enough to let me in," As she jutted her chin, Luna said with confidence, even if her body was dead tired from repairing itself.

She still had some broken bones and sore muscles left from all the torture she had experienced from the Morning Star.

She should be grateful that she had escaped from her prison although her husband had tied her to chains, claiming she was Lilith.

Luna shifted a little to alleviate the pain in her spine. "I will be patient because I love you."

Apollyon averted his gaze and stared at the wall behind Luna for a second.

She didn't miss his flushed cheekbones as he shifted from foot-to-foot.

Did Luna make her nervous from that abrupt confession?

Can he feel her heart's sincerity, now?

"Save all those 'I love you's until I can confirm that you are my wife." Apollyon faced her again and offered a hard smile. "I will never go easy on you."

Sighing heavily, Luna's lips pinched together in a frown.

Clearing his throat, Apollyon's hand lifted to his ear as he touched his earlobe. "There might be a slight chance that you aren't Lilith, but I wouldn't let any other Archdemon like you possess the body of my wife. We had suffered enough." He paced around with his hands behind his back, regal yet restless. "I want you to leave my wife and me in peace."

Luna stared at him, dead-in-the eye. "As your wife, Apollyon, I also wanted to live in peace with you back in the Vampire Realm, away from these demonic faeries."

Luna was surprised her voice didn't falter.

"You had told me that before, Lilith." Apollyon moved forward as he gravitated towards her. "You persuaded me to leave the Faerie Realm so that we could go back to the Vampire Realm, pleading to pull out my Envoy from the Spring Courts." Apollyon lowered his voice and added, "You said you wanted to live happily ever after like we used to."

Luna was tall, but Apollyon had towered over her, but she wasn't afraid of this dominant male posture at all.

She closed her eyes when he leaned in, placing his lips closer to her ear, "You told me that we must leave Prince Aspen to handle his own problems with the demonic faerie cult as their members killed unicorns for their initiation so that they could gain Archdemon Magic,"

"I don't remember telling you any of that bullshit, Apollyon." Glancing up at him with a scowl, Luna was pissed off at how muscular and broad-shouldered he was, using those assets to intimidate or seduce.

"I just returned from my own body from Hell." Gritting her teeth, she reasoned out. "I didn't know that somebody had taken over my body while I was gone."

If something had finally clicked into Luna's head, she screeched,

"Goddess!" Her spine straightened, and Luna could feel a burst of energy rushing in her legs to support her weight. "It was Lilith."

Why did it take her long to figure this out when all the clues were in front of her?

She knew that there was no Archdemon other than Lilith, who was the mastermind behind all her suffering.

Luna didn't think that Lilith would be successful in stealing her body, but how did Apollyon figure out that the one inside her body wasn't his wife?

Perhaps, it was their Blood Bond!
