Things were going well for Lucian. The people of Decresh liked and appreciated the changes he had made, he had learned a lot about being a demon from Roshan and being a witch from his mother. His brother and those who wronged him were rotten in the dungeon and he would visit them sometimes to add salt to their wounds. His enemies still feared him and kept their distance. Maybe the rumors that were not rumors at all were good for him.
Most of all he was happy because his beautiful wife was pregnant and she was shining more than ever.
Was she demanding?
Oh yes!
Did he hate it?
Oh no!
He loved it and he gave in to all her demands. It's not like he could resist her when she was all over him with those lushes curves and seductive eyes. Oh, how he loved this delicate version of her where she reacted to the slightest brush of his fingers. She melted in his arms with only a kiss. She was too distracting for his own good. He knew he had to focus on other things as well.
He forced himself to get out of bed again while Hazel slept peacefully. He changed in his personal room as to not wake her and then left to do his Royal duties. Today he was going to meet leaders from a few powerful covens. He wasn't sure exactly what to tell them yet. He was just mostly curious to see what they thought of him.
When he arrived at the throne hall he was surprised to find Nyx there. She was sitting next to one of the large windows and looking outside.
She turned around when she heard his footsteps then smiled. "Good morning."
"Good morning." He greeted back. "What brings you here?" He walked closer to where she sat.
"I wanted to speak to you." She said and then motioned for him to sit next to her.
Lucian wondered why she seemed so serious but he went and sat beside her.
"You are meeting with the witched soon?" She began.
Lucian nodded.
"The witches will probably not accept you. I would advise you to focus on the demons. Demons usually follow those they fear. If someone is strong enough to lead them they will follow. They are not like witches. Witches think it's their duty to protect the weak and innocent but they don't realize that humans can be as evil as some demons. Now, that hazel is pregnant they will become even angrier."
"Why?"
"Demons are not supposed to reproduce except with their own kind. But the demons race is mostly male, so for those males who were without a mate, they sought human females to reproduce with. Witches were not happy with that since they thought that these demons manipulated the females to expand their race. But the fact is that these male demons found their mate in those female humans."
"They will not hurt Hazel!" Lucian said clenching his fists.
"Is that why you couldn't be with me? Because…"
Because she, a witch gave birth to the devil's child. Her family must have hated and abandoned her.
"Yes. My mother...she put a curse on me so that I wouldn't be able to see you again." Her voice cracked as she spoke. It was as if she was reliving the pain again. She fought back her tears. "But don't worry. That won't happen to your child. There are many demons that are mating with humans. The witches can not fight them all. My case was different since I was a witch. I was never supposed to be with a demon." She chuckled darkly. "Especially not the devil himself."
Lucian could finally understand why his mother couldn't be with him. But that didn't take his anger away. Now instead he felt angry at those who separated them and caused his mother so much pain.
"So what do you suggest I do?" Lucian asked.
"I suggest you summon the demons instead. Show them that you are not scared. Show them your authority and that they shall fear you. Because you, my son, you are the devil's son. And now that you learned about being a demon and a witch you just need to trust your inner power. You need to believe that you are strong. If you have the demons by your side you won't need the witches."
"I thought the witched were very strong," Lucian said confused.
"They are. Together they are strong and that's why witches have covens. One witch would have a hard time fighting a powerful demon alone. Therefore they can not sneak on you. If the witches plan to attack you, then you will know and if you have the demons by your side you only need to summon them."
Lucian nodded thoughtfully. He had thought about it many times. The witches would never accept him because even if he was half-witch, his mother had sided with the demons, therefore, they would think that he would have no genuine intention of siding with them. Lucian hadn't actually thought of choosing sides but he learned that demons and witches would never accept each other. They had been enemies since the beginning of times, therefore, he would have to either chose a side or not choose at all.
There was a chance that the demons would accept him but not the witches. Evil should never be accepted according to them and they would rather die here on earth then go to hell later.
But Lucian had decided that if the witches were not going to side with him then he would make them fear him so much that they would tremble and the mention of his name. He would show them what it truly meant to be a witch with demon blood running through his veins.
Roshan could hear a hint of fear in his voice. Now that Lucian looked as though he could kill someone with a look anyone would be petrified. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
