Archdemon Empress Luna

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

As he locked an arm around her hips, Luna could feel Apollyon's soft breaths as he murmured into her ear.? "Why are they two of them, Luna?"

He tugged her closer to him and her posture stiffened—not from her husband's touch but from the sight in front of her.

"I don't know, Apollyon." She replied, her eyes wide as purple ghastly flames encircled the magic circle.

The same sigil Apollyon had drawn on the suite's carpets— the six-pointed star with the eye at the centre--burned like hellfire at the back of her hand.

She let out a short gasp followed by a moan as her fingers released the ceremonial dagger and clutched at her other hand and rubbing it back and forth,? dulling the inflammation.

The purple flames didn't spread throughout the royal suite.

They morphed into spirits with human-like faces expressing rage, hate, jealousy and grief.

The two man-sized shapes Luna could make out inside the magic circle grew larger and larger into something else until one almost reached the ceiling.

It was eerily close to the shadows of a dragon and Luna swore she had seen this before at the Vampire Realm.

It was the Archdemon of Sloth and Gluttony turning into their berserker form!

They would destroy the entire Vinca Inn and the Summer Realm if she let them continue transforming.

"Wife. Turn them back to their human form if you can. Apollyon instructed her in dread as his grip tightened on her arm. "They might destroy Vinca Inn if? they growing in their berserker forms like this."

Exhaling a huge breath, Luna said calmly as she closed her eyes, "I will see if I can turn them back into normal Archdemons."

She willed them to return to their human-like forms and the burn of the Archdemon Sigil in her hand diminished.

When she opened her eyes, Ravin and Sloth were in their humanoid forms as if they didn't attempt to be dragons in the first place.

Curled black demon wings flapped behind their back while their feet were few inches above the magic circle.

For some reason, they made no move to escape and act all mad and violent.

Luna's heart stopped when she met Ravin's golden eyes glowing in the darkness caused by the spell. "You summoned us, Amare?"

"Amare?" Apollyon's voice held the tiniest hint of suspicion.

"It didn't mean anything, Apollyon." Luna placed her hand over Apollyon's arm which was wrapped around her hips.

Ravin's cold hard gaze scrutinized the action and smirked. "It meant, 'my love'. After all, she is my wife."

Instead of being jealous like Apollyon always do, he sounded amused, "She is mine, Archdemon."

A flicker of anger flashed across his face. "I claimed her first."

"She is pregnant with my child."

When Apollyon said that, Luna was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong sense of responsibility for her baby.

It was a reminder of why she had evoked an Archdemon Familiar in the first place.

The life form—this cosmic soul--in her womb must be safe, nurtured and protected by her body.

It wouldn't happen if she couldn't get rid of Lilith.

As Leo's mother, she should be willing to place the needs of her child before her own and give it without reservation. This was her sacrifice.

She didn't care whether the child's hair or eyes or whether she will be a boy or a girl.

The only thing of true importance was that her child was healthy.

Despite all the best efforts and careful steps? Luna had taken, she remained unsure of the outcome of evoking the Archdemon of Gluttony to be her slave.

It was an unvoiced and acknowledged fear that just refused to be banished.

Nevertheless, Luna shouldn't allow fear to overshadow all else.

Jaws clenched, Ravin's response was arrogant. "Well, That didn't mean I can't take her away."

"Well, too bad." Apollyon shrugged. Luna was surprised that her husband was relaxed the whole time he talked to the one who possessed him for millennia. "That's not the reason why we brought them here."

Ravin ignored Apollyon and gave her a sly grin instead. "You did follow the mission of bringing the Demon Kind to this Material Realm. You kept your promise as an Archdemon."

"No. This is because Lune had a promise to fulfil for me while she was in Hell." Sloth interrupted.? "This isn't about her mission as an Archdemon."

"What is this promise this man was talking about, wife?"

Luna shook her head in response to Apollyon's question and proceeded to interrogate the other Archdemon.

"Sloth." She demanded, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry. You can simply ignore me. I will be silent. I wouldn't cause any problems." Sloth said as he waved his hands in front of them in alarm, exposing his palms. "I'm just glad I got out of Hell. I'm excited to see what other Realm looked like. I will behave like a good Archdemon."

"Just bind him to you, wife," Apollyon said. "I think he wouldn't cause many problems."

"Bind?" Ravin scowled as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You can just release us."

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to release two Archdemons in? the Summer Realm?"

"Then what was your purpose of having us here then?"

Despite being a fledgling, everyone acknowledged how brilliant Lilith was at seducing any Archdemon who might be useful for her rise.

She was admired by her fellow Archdemons for her angelic face.

Ravin had told her about this before.

Most of the male Archdemons just have these special kinks about angels who lived near the Underworld and have sex with them.

They desired to make Lilith a consort.

If Lilith sold herself cheap then, of course, everyone would be after her.

Now, Luna had to deal with this she-devil sharing her physical vessel.

She was a clever bitch and Luna needed to be more clever than her.

Hopefully, she wouldn't find a way to control Sloth and Ravin after binding them to her—not a mate but as her Archdemon Familiars.

"I am coercing you two Archdemons to be my familiar."
