"Go ahead, Luna. Allow him to do it. I wouldn't be petty this time." Apollyon sounded amused that it scared her a little. "Just do the talking in front of me." He prompted, and his blue eyes never left Ravin's. "No sneaking around with other males that I don't trust aside from your husband."
The statement earned a chuckle from the Archdemon. "How controlling, Vampire King."
Tilting his head at him, he drawled and gestured at her. "You think women like that particular trait in their mates? Women like Amare value respect and their freedom very much. She had told me so when we used to beâ¦." He paused as if hesitating whether he should reveal something more and irk Apollyon even more, but it ended with, "âtogether."
"She isn't like another woman. Don't lump her in with the women you have known because she is one of a kind." Apollyon's hand was on top of her head as he petted her like she were his cat.
It wasn't proper to touch her like that as purebred ladies and gentlemen gaped at them, but she had no objection.
She would never shy away from her husband's touch.
"My destined mate only belonged to me. If she loves me and still considers me as your mate, then she should be fine with it." Glancing down at her, his warm hand continued to massage her head, "Right, wife?"
She was too exhausted to prove him wrong. "I am fine with it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ravin's mouth curved into an arrogant smirk. "Continue scaring her and driving her away with this possessiveness so that she will run towards me."
Apollyon was silent for a moment before he replied coolly, "No woman will settle for the second option if they had the best of the best."
"If you say so." Ravin gave him a half-shrug before he switched his attention to her.
>
Oh, my goddess!
> She prompted, and she hoped that her desperation wouldn't show as she tried to keep her face bland.
It wasn't the bad news she had expected, but it was better than welcoming the Archdemon of Lust to their doorstep.
Luna didn't want her husband to worry about the little things when he had a lot on his plate right now.
> Ravin's mouth pressed into a tight line.
Meanwhile, her brows ha furrowed in confusion.
>
> Ravin continued to project his thoughts. >
Luna nodded in agreement.
Narrowing her eyes at him, she had to ask him again to be sure. >
> Ravin affirmed, and Luna noticed that their group's silence seemed to assure the guests that everything was alright and nobody was in actual danger. They just resumed dancing, eating, drinking wines, or to whatever they were doing before the quick blackout. At least, nobody had tried to escape and followed Sloth's order in peace.>>
>
> Ravin replied patiently.
>
> The deep baritone echoing in her mind had jarred her a little that it took her a few seconds to figure out that it was, indeed, her husband.
Her head immediately whipped to the side, and his hand fell from the top of her head so that she could stroke her short silver hair.
>
> Apollyon was a natural in moving the conversation forward. >
> It was Sloth who answered Apollyon's question, and she scowled at him when he stepped forward a little.
How was he able to join this discussion without her permission?
Maybe, it was because they had a connection through the 'master-familiar' bond.
> At that moment, Luna realized something else. >
> His words came out in an ashamed rush.
> Apollyon had his priorities as a husband.
He always asked the right questions.
> Luna didn't miss the telltale flush on Sloth's cheekbones as he tried to change the topic. >
Well, there was someone she was suspicious of.
Luna opened her mouth to speak. "The opera singer seemed to have disappeared afterâ"
She didn't finish her words because someone had attacked her from the side.
