"To be honest, I don't think she was even thinking at all." Apollyon rested his hand on top of hers while she settled it on the armrest.? "It was impulsive of her to decide that? the instant she woke up. She was unconscious for almost two days. We were there at the royal infirmary when the Witch Doctors said? that she wasn't harmed from the free fall before I caught her."

"Are you sure she didn't get a concussion?" Luna tilted her head towards him and her husband did the same, giving her an expectant look, "I am confused about her decision, as well, but I made sure to tell her before we left the Queen's bedchamber that we didn't need to turn into Monarchs. Neither does she need to give us lands and become lords and ladies of the manor, overlooking towns and cities of her Kingdom."

The offer was too-good-to-be-true and it made her bite her lip in suspicion.

Maybe, she had a surprise condition after they accepted it.

They might not know it yet but It was a scary thought to contemplate.

Luna thought that rejecting Queen Morgan with words of sincere gratitude will make her sleep better at night.

"You turned the offer down and threw our pot of gold in the river."? Apollyon noted in amusement.

Shaking her head, Luna corrected him. "No, husband, I didn't turn it down. I graciously implied that if that did follow through." Determination made her voice stern as she clutched on the armchair.? "I want it to be temporary because I am confident that we would claim the Vampire Realm back from the Archdemon of Lust."

"I agree. Faeries who lived long from the era of the Great War wouldn't just blurt things they don't mean. You know how they are careful with their oaths." Apollyon's blue eyes darkened while the outer rings of his irises lit with mischievous flame, "I don't think it was a lie, either."

"Lie or not, husband, I don't really care." Luna flashed him a? wide smile that exposed her sharp fangs. In an instant, her countenance had turned grim when she was reminded that they wouldn't stay here in the Realm of the Fall for too long anyway, "Our home isn't here."

"You are right, wife."? Apollyon said with a nod.

"I still think it was too impulsive of her to do it. Maybe, she wasn't in the right mind yet when she woke up from her rest." She replied, flipping her long silver hair behind her back. "I am giving the Queen a leeway to take back what she promised without humiliation."

"Still it doesn't make sense to me." Ravin's voice sounded a bit harsher in her ears. "It wasn't like both of you are Fae from this Kingdom so I can imagine a backlash from her people if they found out."

Apollyon's burning gaze traced the slender column of her throat before he brought his gaze back to her eyes.

She watched how his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

It made her wonder if he was thirsty for his mate's blood but didn't bother saying anything about it since the Three Fates at the Council Meeting told him not to drink anymore unless he would agree to let her drink Archdemon' blood to regain her strength after the demon child drained her of her power.

Apollyon was known to be a prideful and possessive King so she wasn't certain if he would approve of it.

She will have to wait for the future.

The Vampire King loved her too much to endanger her life but he would never let Luna's mouth anywhere near Ravin's blood. Over his dead body.

The worst-case scenario would probably be Apollyon's forced abstinence from his mate's blood. How long would his resistance to this sweet temptation last?

The Vampire King was as stubborn and resilient as her so he might endure until he felt like he was about to go mad from blood lust.

Luna winced a little at the nasty scenario.

She didn't want to get her husband to that point of no return and push him over the edge of insanity.

She should give him something to drink the instant she got him were alone, preferably after this discussion.

Perhaps, Apollyon was weakened from the fight during the siege after he utilized too much Fae Magic and he just disliked admitting it.

She hoped that it wouldn't get to the point where her husband would loathe himself for asking for her for nourishment.

It was only natural for a Vampire to do so. Apollyon shouldn't feel guilty.

An uncomfortable silence fell over them and the atmosphere seemed to be charged with animosity.

Ravin watched Apollyon's hand holding hers beneath his long lashes and he frowned at it as he massaged his knitted brows.

After a few weeks,? Ravin still had a problem with Apollyon showing physical affection in front of them.

She didn't think that Apollyon was doing this on purpose though since he was naturally like this with or without the presence of the Archdemons.

However, if the Vampire King was marking her as his territory then it was effective.

The Archdemon of Gluttony was silent but his jaws were clenched in frustration as if he was a wolf who desired to hunt her down, pin her underneath him and bite at her.

Nervous Luna changed the subject back to Queen Morgan before Ravin complained about such a simple gesture.

Clearing her throat, she stared at Ravin to address him, specifically, so that he would stop noting every territorial touch that her husband made with his glacial glowers.? "The members of her Cadre were present she announced that in her chamber and their faces didn't look too good. If the atmosphere wasn't that serious I would have laughed." Yes, it was none of their business but Luna should choose peace and harmony over these petty issues.. "Queen Morgan appointed us to become part of the Monarchs since she wanted to give us power so that the Fall Militia would listen to our commands if a situation comes where she was, otherwise, indisposed."
