Archdemon Empress Luna

"There is no consortium." Luna replied, "Apollyon abolished them after we were wedded."

Empress Ourania drawled, not losing her smile. "That's impossible, darling. The Consortium is a long standing tradition of the Kings in the Vampire Realm."

Luna chuckled, amused at the Princess's stunning response.

Giving her a mysterious smile, Luna rested her hands in her lap like a prim lady, "I gave your son the ultimatum." She shrugged. "I gave him the freedom to choose."

"Of course, the Vampire King desired both, silly --"

Tilting his head, Apollyon gave a cool glance at his mother before she could insult Luna by calling her 'silly girl.

She cleared her throat.

Closing her eyes, she exhaled a heavy sigh and peered at her beneath her thick orange lashes, almost curling up to her eyelids.

"—Empress." Princess Ourania finished.

Now, both of them were mirroring each other's movements.

She also rested her long, slender hands on her knees. "I apologize." She did a graceful bow.

When she lifted her chin, she said, "I am still adjusting to the fact the my son already have her Empress."

She cocked her head at Luna as they watched each other in interest.

As if they were sizing each other up.

Luna raised an eyebrow at her in surprise.

Did Apollyon's mother see her as a threat?

"I wonder why would you would let her choose when the answer was already obvious." Princess Ourania insisted as if she couldn't fathom the possibility of making Apollyon pick between the two. "Of course, the Vampire King will want to have both!"

"No. No. No." If Apollyon had common sense, which Luna was grateful he had one, of course, he should favour his mate above all others! "No wife who was in their right mind would be alright being married to a man with a Harem."

Heat flushed in her body as she felt the possessive fury rose inside her like a tidal wave.

She recalled how her husband cloned someone from the Consortium during their wedding night when she tried so hard to keep her virginity from him.

Apollyon's audacity almost killed her or made her want to kill the woman, but at least they have already sorted that problem out. "I didn't want my husband to have orgies with women and come to me after he was done with them."

Luna circled an arm as her other palm stroked his hard biceps. "Right, Apollyon?"

"I don't want them, wife. The more I nurtured our connection, the harder it is for me to do something like that." Apollyon's gaze shifted from her eyes to her lips, then back to her eyes. "—unless, I force myself to and attempt to use the women in the Consortium to hurt my wife."

Princess Ourania's eyes were hard and flinty. "You dared challenge my son as the current King of the Vampire Realm. You are dancing with the devils, Empress."

Apollyon and Luna looked at each other, sharing the inside joke. A jest that wasn't even funny. "I actually did, Princess Ourania."

"Did you really agree with the Empress' conditions, King Apollyon?" Empress Ourania's Prussian Blue eyes widened in shock as if she couldn't believe what she heard. "You chose her over the Consortium?"

"Allowing your husband to keep his Consortium should make you angry and disgusted, Princess Ourania. Rather than us telling sincere love messages to each other in front of you, claiming they were fake." Luna taunted.

Biting her lip, Princess Ourania's face contorted with anger. "Can you just imagine servicing your husband during the Full Moon when his prick already came from the remnants of his whores'—"

"Luna!" Apollyon had to stop her as if he already figured out what he was going to say.

He pulled her towards him, and her head leaned on his broad shoulder.

"You are going overboard!"He murmured along with a low chuckle.

Too late.

Empress Ourania already understood her point.

There wasn't a need to elaborate.

"How dare you offend my delicate sensibilities!"

Luna snorted. "Your sensibilities are already offended a long time ago. Don't even pretend to be righteous."

"Girl." Apollyon's mother clutched the table, her knuckles white. "You forget I am a Summer Monarch—"

"And I am the Empress of the Vampire Realm." Luna raised her chin and smirked. "What can you do aside from comparing our title?"

"I am Apollyon's birth mother but I don't approve of you at all!"

'So?' Luna pursed her lips. 'That didn't her the right to look down on her.'

She was just a Princess, after all.

Luna was holding back a? part of herself so that she wouldn't strike at her like a cobra.

What would Apollyon think?

She was capable of keeping her cool.

There was no need to act like a war freak.

Wait, she changed her mind.

"Touche. I don't approve of you too." Luna rested an elbow and cradled her head with a hand. "I was looking forward to meeting you in personal rather than your self-portraits on our hallwaysof our castle.? My first impression of you from those bewitching paintings were different from what I am seeing right now." Luna didn't want to strike a jibe against Apollyon's mother, but she couldn't stand it. "How disappointing!"

"Don't worry." She sneered, "The disappointment is evident on both parties."

Apollyon was just there beside her, covering his face from the weird exchange, a large grin evident on his face.

He was laughing his ass off hearing them argue like newlyweds, and Luna didn't know what to make of it.

Frowning at her husband, he pinched the side of his stomach. "Enjoying yourself, husband?"

"Immensely, beloved." Apollyon's said huskily as he stole a kiss from her cheek.

"It might be unfamiliar to you, Empress Ourania, but as as the current Empress, I want you to know that we have a leverage against a Vampire King whether? he like it or not. Even if we might be shackled to a mating bond, it wasn't only us in this connection. The males are in it, as well, so they will have a hard time constantly if they wouldn't listen to your requests. The only mistake you did was cower in his submission."
