Hell's Consort

Chapter 312 - Revenge Is Sweet

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

The Archdemon of Lust

Prince Luxen from the Second Circle of Hell

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

With her gaze still fixed on their lovemaking, Luxen interrupted Lilith, scrying into the mirror and spoke, "Luna was very fertile, and I planted the seed with intent in that nourishing core of hers."

A FEW DAYS EARLIER...

The moment Luxen had felt that his soul tie with Luna was cut off dead, the pain was so unbearable he had jerked himself awake in quick confusion before it shifted into dread, clutching his chest with a trembling hand as if an angel blade had stabbed him in the heart.

With rasping breaths, Luxen had stretched his free hand and fumbled his fingers on his drawer, his palm blindly searching and clawing for something to alleviate the agony.

Twisting and turning in his bed-chamber, Luxen gritted his teeth as he recalled the blurred fragments of his dreams before this.

His illusory vision was like an ancient papyrus torn around the edges, soot slowly taking over the image of a silver string.

He saw a flash of masculine hand cloaked with angelic runes on his skin, holding a golden rapier.

Luxen's eyes were wide as he watched the image hopelessly.

He suddenly lost the ability to think and speak clearly from that vision, and he couldn't protect the soul tie himself by snatching the rapier from the Archangel's hand.

The string he saw in his mind's eye was stretched and pulled so tight, creating too much tension.

His desperation was a sure sign of death that was to come.

It would be easier for the Archangel to do its job as his the rapier hovered above for a few seconds before he sliced through it, rubbing the rapier's edge a few times before the Archangel's hand vanished, leaving Luxen and the silver string for a few minutes of sheer terror before it snapped back and finally broke into two.

Luxen's grief wasn't gradual.

It came out in waves so strong it flowed through him like a river in his bloodstream, threatening to sweep him away.

It pulled him from his reality.

He couldn't open his eyes as he felt a heavy force pressing down on him.

His mind had shown him the tears of his soul, making him wonder if he could come back alive and escape from this mental prison?

Sorrow had started creeping in, and then came emptiness, the kind that wouldn't disappear.

Luxen had never wished for Luna's presence than ever before, wanting to hold and nurture her if he had another chance.

Luxen had felt a myriad of emotions as he felt his mind free-falling into a black hole of nothingness.

As an Archdemon, he swore he had never felt something this intense before---confusion, dread, terror, desperation, grief, and a brief death followed by numbness.

Luxen's mind had blacked out for a few days, and he wouldn't be surprised if he found out that Luna also had the same experience after the cord-cutting.

It was the night Ravin had taken Luna home instead of him.

He had fallen asleep with a grudge, plotting for revenge against Luna for destroying his wing.

He planned to mark Luna with his seed for the first and the last time so that he could tie her forever in his Kingdom.

She wouldn't be able to leave him because she was pregnant with his child.

Luxen had licked his lips before falling asleep, looking forward to getting his hands on her.

Hell, he could even sneak into Ravin's Castle and snatch Luna right under his nose.

It was terrifying to wake up only to remain unconscious for days in his bedchamber and have his soul tie cut from his future wife.

No Archdemon cared enough to know to check up on him except Lilith.

On the third day of his death-sleep, she had visited the Ice Kingdom, claiming she was bored and wanted him to fuck her in the ass because he was the best at it.

Honestly, Luxen had never felt so grateful for his mind-blowing skills in bed.

Lilith had found Luxen unconscious in his bed-chamber, and no matter how many times she shook his shoulders, he wouldn't budge.

Lilith used Archdemon Magic and some brews she had brought over from her Kingdom and successfully awakened him.

It took Lilith a day to figure it out.

All this time, Luxen had treated Lilith so poorly--and when he said poorly, it meant treating her like the whore she was--and because of this event, he was suddenly haunted by his guilty conscience.

They weren't even friends in the first place.

Luxen had only tolerated Lilith because she always made herself available to him, always greedy for his attention when she got bored with other Archdemons.

Which Archdemons in their right minds would refuse free ass and tits?

Out of all the Archdemons he had shared his pureblood with and the members of his Legion, only Lilith had cared enough to nurse him back to health with her knowledge of healing art which was effective for mates who had been severed of their blood bond.

Luxen had an inkling that Lilith had specific expertise in this area because she was obsessed with Luna and the Vampire King.

Her research of the blood bond's inner workings made her pore over ancient texts in Hell so that she could figure out how to break the blood bond between Apollyon and Luna.

She knew what to do after a blood bond was broken so that she could soothe the Vampire King in the future.

Lilith had helped him deal with his grief until he adjusted to the loss of the blood bond, and in a way, he was grateful for the reprieve.

Luxen had thought he wouldn't be able to recover, but he was adjusting painstakingly every single day until he was well enough to execute his final act.

There was no such thing as kindness in Hell because everything in Hell was debt and every favour was conditional.

Luxen owed Lilith the truth, telling her that Luna came into contact with an Archangel to cut their soul tie, and now, she was free of him.

"How in Hell could an Archdemon, and a fledgling one at that, summon an Archangel?"

Lilith had asked a valid question, but they hadn't figured out a valid answer until now.

Luxen might have almost lost his mind when he realized that Luna and his blood bond was gone after their soul tie was cut with the help of the same Archangel who had enclosed her in a gigantic lotus.

He also shared to Lilith all of his plans to ruin Luna's life by impregnating her with his seed so that she would still belong to him one way or another.

"The true seed is elusive." Lilith had said cryptically as she ran her fingers on Luxen's face. "If we follow any story towards its origin, it spirals farther and farther back in time. The seed will always be the fruit it bears." She murmured, licking her lips in excitement. "Your child with Luna will be an Archdemon, and once the seed had taken root, my Archdemon soul could finally enter her body at the Vampire Realm."
