Vampire King Apollyon

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

'Then, if I didn't become the First High Priestess of the Vampire Realm, would there be a chance that you would want me?"

This must be how Luna felt when Apollyon required her total obedience at the start of the marriage. It turned out that he didn't want a wife like the one Lilith promised.

He might have that kind of preference in the good old days when he used to own the Consortium. But, in the present, Apollyon wanted a wife equal to him—one who wouldn't cling to him everywhere and follow his every command like a trained animal.

Why did she keep asking this over and over when she knew the answer?

"No." For the hundredth time tonight,? Apollyon exhaled an irritated sigh.? "I still wouldn't want you."

Now, Apollyon understood why Luna was furious at him because he was about to explode from this... next level of stupidity—even more than Ravin and Sloth.

He couldn't believe that Lilith pretended she didn't hear that and just continued as if his words were blown away by the night breeze, "I told you before that your wife had fornicated with? another male Archdemon and you didn't believe me when I only spoke the truth! If I was your mate I would have known its you right away, Apollyon, just like how you have known that it was me." Lilith spat. "I am loyal than this bitch."

Apollyon's chest tightened when he was reminded of the demonic event he tried to banish from his mind.

"I find it unfair that you can still forgive this whore for cheating on you when I only summoned the Archdemon of Gluttony to possess you." Lilith trembled from the force of her anger. "I already paid that sin with my life! What more do you need so that you will accept me?"

This woman was as persistent as? Ravin, trying to seduce his stubborn wife to claim him as her first husband.

She wasn't even his mate, so what drove her to chase after him after millennia of being trapped in Hell?

He recalled that moment in the past when Luna had expressed immense hatred for him for forcing his will against her, ignoring her 'NO' as a valid answer.

The previous Apollyon will not reject his wife because it didn't make sense to him when they had the mating bond.

Little did he know that his marriage to Luna would give him this rude awakening, making him realize that the mating bond didn't give him the entitlement to treat his woman like a slave concubine and whip her to submission.

He became aware of Luna as a separate entity with a mind of her own—who had goals to achieve and a mission to accomplish for herself that had nothing to do with him.

Apollyon didn't want to be like his father—King Gwythyr.

From Princess Ourania's extreme animosity to his father, he speculated that his father had ruined the Summer Princess' life in this manner, extending her contempt to her own child and the people around her who did nothing wrong.

"Before I attempted a spell on my own, I made sure to stay in Luna's physical vessel forever. I know deep in my gut that you would choose me in the end if you just give me a chance and prove myself."

This was the same script Ravin kept telling his wife at the rock shelter.

Apollyon wondered where these Archdemons pulled out this dedication to ruin them.

"F*ck you, Lilith!" He lowered his chin to look down at her with contempt. "I am already married. I have a wife and a future heiress!"

They kept going around in circles, and it vexed him.

Lilith never talked about anything that would give him important clues except her confession of her undying love after he already made it clear to her that he wasn't interested.

Well, unless she would help him become an Archdemon.

"Don't fret anymore, husband. I stole her physical vessel so it would be easier for you to get used to who I am if I look like your wife. And even if the heir didn't belong to who I am and my core essence, I would take good care of our baby because it came from this physical vessel—my body—if you offer me your love and undying devotion instead of that Luna."

Heat roiled at the pit of his stomach as his blood pressure rose to new heights.

Now, this delusional Archdemon wouldn't stop staking her claim on things that didn't belong to her.

Her husband?

Their baby?

Her body?

Apollyon's posture was tensed and alert as he glared at Lilith.

Let her say that again.

He will torture Luna's physical vessel until Lilith releases her hold on his wife's consciousness.

"I would rather you kill the baby if that would happen, Lilith. I don't care." Apollyon said out loud with false bravado. His fists rested on his hips, and his elbows and stance were wide.? ? "Just kill it if you want. I'm not going to stop you." He saw her flinch, which gave him more confidence that Lilith wouldn't act on the dare.

"You can't do it, huh?" He baited her even more. "Your strange reaction just proved that my theory is true."? She was, indeed, using his heir as her anchor in this Realm! "You are using my heiress for your wicked schemes!"

Will Lilith remain in Luna's body if his wife finally gives birth, or would she possess his daughter instead?

A slight tremor in her voice. "I— I planned to kill your heiress, Apollyon—"

What did her hesitation mean?

"Hah. You are lying!" Apollyon interrupted her with an ugly laugh. "Only an Archdemon like you can stoop this low. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Using an innocent unborn baby to manipulate me?" He clicked his tongue and flashed her a cold, mocking smile. "It had been a millenium, Lilith. Haven't you forgotten about me already after all the Archdemons you have met? Which of my constant rejection of your love not clear to you?"

"It's not really a rejection if I haven't believed it as is."

That was the last straw.

The cave behind the waterfalls exploded when Apollyon wrapped both of his hands around Luna's slender neck.
