Archdemon of Envy

(High Priestess Lilith)

Princess of the 3rd Circle of Hell

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

Everything was a lie.

He never stopped murmuring compliments in her ear about her as the best wife and Empress, turning her into an addict for his sweet nothings.

This should have been a tell-tale sign which sent warning bells on her head, but she refused to listen.

At that moment, Lilith should have gotten the notion that Apollyon was avoiding her because he already knew she wasn't Luna.

Yet, she was so blinded by love that she continued playing their game and falling into their trap, which led to her failed exorcism.

Honestly, if someone would ask her right now if she still loved Apollyon after all that rejection and betrayal, she would still answer that as a 'yes.

Lilith already spoke to him about this while she and her husband were in the forest.

She clenched her fist in determination.

Lilith was stubborn and adamant about her devotion to him as his wife, and she would never accept rejection from him even if he said it to her face.

She promised to cling to him like he was her lifeline, squash Luna's consciousness in her physical vessel so that she would not rise to the surface ever again and compel Apollyon to choose her as his mate, his wife and caretaker of his heirs.

Forever.

She might have the upper hand now, but it can change at any time.

Lilith must be prepared for that.

She hated to admit it, but Apollyon's claim held a grain of truth in it.

Her life would have been easier if she had spied on her more so that she could imitate how she moved and behaved around her husband before possessing her.

Lilith was too late to realize this, so she just had to make do with what she had in the present and untie its ribbons.

Who knew what it would bring to her?

If she told him all the problems she encountered while she possessed Luna's physical vessel, she wouldn't allow the Archdemon of Lust to tell her, "See? I told you so.".

Luxen can be an irritating smart ass, sometimes, that it might drive a calm Archdemon to violence.

Lilith wasn't calm.

Shaking her thoughts from the past, Lilith cleared her throat and resumed, "The Vampire King brought Luna back by manipulating my Fae conjurer and slaughtering the cult she created through blood sacrifice. Unfortunately, I was so weak from the exorcism and since my Archdemon soul was attached to the baby, my consciousness was deadlocked inside her for a long time until? I awakened by Hecate's renegade." Luxen's inscrutable expression slightly changed into curiosity when she mentioned the renegade. Still, he didn't interrupt, "--Luna was able to take control of this body again every time she gained strength and I always tried to push her back."

"Like right now." Lilith said with gritted teeth as the faraway whispers in her mind grew louder, unbearable, and she was certain it didn't come from her ears.

The high-pitched voices which sounded eerily close, a thousand sirens singing in unison in her mind. She covered her ears to shut them off, but just as she thought, it didn't help.

Lilith closed her eyes and screamed. "Look how stubborn she is!"

A thousand voices of sirens wreaking havoc in her head seemed to hear her roaring plea, and they collectively shut up.

Good—f*cking—riddance!

Lilith sighed with relief and opened her eyes to gaze at Luxen.

He stared at her with this predatory instinct which made her feel like her heart just kicked her ribs.

Did the Archdemon of Lust consider her easy target now due to her condition?

No.

Luxen should always keep in mind that she was his equal so that she could still order him around.

There was a silent pause before Luxen said huskily, licking his lips in anticipation, "Ah, her iron persistence is really admirable that I? want to kill? it."

How can this Archdemon talk so easily about killing their own kind in a deep, dark masculine voice that was oh-so-delicious?

If Luxen wanted to kill Luna, then he would also kill Lilith in the process!

Did he forget about that?

Lilith clicked her tongue as she wagged a finger in front of her. " You don't want to kill an ally, Luxen. "

"Ally, huh? When Luna can easily turn on me if she realized that you had summoned me in this Realm?' He snorted. "—and you overlooked the things—unforgivable things—I had done to her body for your spells. Luna is in the same vessel you are using right now, and you didn't have the utmost control over it. You think she and her husband wouldn't kill me first if she found out?"

"You see…I'm trying hard so that she didn't even have to know!" Lilith said.

"I apologize that I couldn't help you in that matter." Luxen gave her a mocking bow. Then he rose and straightened his posture, "You are putting me in danger and…." He smiled, "--you know I like to play with danger."

"Luxen. You are confusing me. Do? you want to be involved in this or not?" She snapped. "Maybe? I will make Ravin the King of the Material Realm instead of you."

"If you involve the Archdemon of Gluttony in this,? he might follow you around and try to encourage Domina to regain control of her physical vessel since she was his Archdemon Mate." Luxen warned her, "Ravin is smitten with the girl more than I am because of the blood bond they had. My blood bond with Domina was already destroyed so even if I am still interested, it doesn't drive me to lose control of myself. I am perfectly capable of choosing where my priorities lie with logic.. It is highly possible that his loyalty would lie to his Amare compared to you."
