Hell's Consort

Chapter 60 - Wishing Death*

"If you exorcise my brother from the Vampire King, can I detach myself from you and replace him instead?"

The High Priestess reacted explosively. "Luxen, what the fuck?"

"I'm still your mate if that happened because we already exchanged blood beforehand." The Archdemon of Lust? said clearly as he traced her Domina's face with his eyes, caressing the skin of her lean arms at the same time.

The High Priestess was tall but there was nothing willowy about it.

Her body had more dangerous curves that were illegal for a virgin.

Lux fought the urge to engage her in a passionate, sweaty, low-down, and dirty sex and make her cry in pleasure.

This was bad for him.

He was making himself aroused at an inappropriate time.

He had to stop.

"The Archdemon of Gluttony was still technically my mate even if I drive him away from the Vampire King--" She glanced up and stared at him without blinking as if in response to his intent gaze, "--and no I would not adhere to this ridiculous bargain, Lux. I will not let you replace Ravin from the Vampire King."

Luna shook her head at the Archdemon of Lust's suggestion.

'Oh, Goddess save her from her troublesome Archdemons.'

Luna prayed as she looked down at her feet and massaged her forehead with her fingers.

The 'Vampire King and the Blood Beast' dilemma was so complicated she almost gave up and tried to die in her sleep and when she woke up--because her conscience would not let her recover due to the events she had witnessed at the Vampire King's Castle-- this another Archdemon was suddenly under her wing for her to control and to tame.

Luna felt like she was running in circles already trying to solve this clusterfuck shithole she had fallen into and now Lux had dared to create more problems by that bargain?

"After you exorcise him where would he go?" Luxen asked as he placed a finger to tilt her chin upward.

The Archdemon of Lust had a fetish for eye contact.

Luna stared pointedly at Lux, watching him without blinking because that was what he wanted. "Back to Hell where Archdemons truly belonged."

"Hell?" He searched her face for an answer to the puzzle of her. "But how will you be able to survive without Ravin when you claimed he was your mate?"

"I am mated with Ravin through the Vampire King." She looked away from him and the Archdemon of Lust frowned. "If I send Ravin back to Hell, I could survive by drinking the blood of the King as his newly turned vampire. Don't worry, I could take his blood down like I did when I drank from you."

"Theoretically?"

"Yes."

"But you will never know if that would work or not. Once you separated the both of them, what if you sent Ravin to Hell and you found out that the Vampire King's pure undiluted blood wouldn't make you full and satisfied?"

The High Priestess' voice quivered a little bit. "I can keep the Vampire King's blood down."

He sensed the tremor in her response.

??You sound afraid, Domina. Ravin will find a way to drag you to Hell and the three of us will live happily ever after." The Archdemon of Lust said sarcastically as he looked at the crown of her hair.

The compulsion to reach over and tug her towards his body was strong, he didn't bother to resist as he engaged her in physical contact.

He murmured, "I think you already know that we, Archdemons, didn't need blood but you have become our weakness."

"This is why I had a desire to separate Gluttony and the Vampire King because it is perilous for Ravin to co-exist with the King's body in this Realm. He was already wild and out-of-control especially when he possessed a powerful pureblood. He stole souls and drained the blood of the innocent inhabitants, killing people senselessly. What if he creates an army of rogue vampires like me and conquers all the Realms in the Night World?"

He wondered which one of them she was trying to convince.

"He was an Archdemon, Luna. He couldn't control the compulsion because what he was showing you was what he was entirely made of. Gluttony is his sin and you can't do anything about it."

"This was my fault. The Blood Beast and the Vampire King had co-existed for millennia without my interference. I have created more chaos as the new High Priestess of Hecate. I am such a failure if I can't even get rid of the Vampire King's curse when all of my plans had escalated to a point of no return." Luna sighed heavily and pushed him back, jerking away from his warm, comforting hug. "This is why I want to separate him, Luxen. Anyway, I have multiple mates so I can survive as long as I have even one of you."

The High Priestess began to walk towards the dusty mattress and sat there.

She pondered if she should just do an eternal sleeping spell once again and never wake up from this living nightmare.

"Then how about us?" The Archdemon of Lust asked as he approached, lifting his hand to stroke her hair but then he paused before he even touched her. "Please remember that if one of us dies, you will die too. Separating with one of your mates isn't a good option, Luna."

Fuck.

Was there any other way to break this Blood Bond?

All of her problems would end if she just committed suicide.

But then she already died multiple times, where would she go?

Would she go to Heaven or Hell or simply just a speck of dust in this Universe?

A place where she didn't exist at all?

"You had never taken into account in this scenario of yours, Domina?" The Archdemon of Lust said seriously. "Have you ever thought that maybe I wanted to stay in the Vampyr Realm with you?"
