Hell's Consort

Chapter 37 - Flashback*



Chapter 37 - Flashback*

Finding a thread of magic, Luna reached toward her mind for Hecate's spells. Something. Anything that would save her.

She accidentally accessed a memory.

The vision transformed into a smiling young lady gazing up at the Vampire King wearing a black velvet gown.

Lilith, the first High Priestess, had wavy auburn hair that was so long it reached the floor, turning to gold or reddish copper depending on the lights.

Her gunmetal eyes changed color as they adjust to her changing moods.

She looked like a siren, so young for her age to acquire a position of power in the Vampire Court.

The first High Priestess declared by the Vampire King was too irresistible and highly coveted by the vampires.

Lilith was treated like royalty since the King was so fond of her, treating her as a sister and a part of his family.

Luna felt the High Priestess's thrill when the Vampire King held her hand and guided her as they danced together in the ballroom.

When he touched her, her skin tingled as warmth pulsated in her chest.

The Blood Beast's consciousness noticed what Luna did, accessing his memory.

He tried to pull away, but she clung to it like a lifeline to figure out what happened next.

Luna knew that it was so important, and it could potentially save her.

The next scene showed her the High Priestess descending through a long, narrow underground staircase. Her light tread of feet made the wooden boards creak.

She swung the heavy door outward to check her prison cells.

A horrible vision of what the first High Priestess had done filled Luna's mind.

It was Lilith's vendetta to punish the Vampire King for not reciprocating her pure love.

Brownish-red stains soaked the ground. It was the killing ground for Lilith's dark ritual.

The Vampire King had married another woman, the new Empress, instead of her.

She should have been his Empress.

She loved him with her entire being, but he rebuked it, turning down her sensual advances.

There were five naked females' bodies tied to metal spikes that had been driven into the ground.

Strange symbols had been painted on their bodies and the walls.

Bloody cuts crisscrossed their abdomen, legs, and arms.

She left the four to bleed and die a slow death.

Now, her last victim, a weak female human, writhed in agony as the multiple cuts along her arms and legs burned.

Revulsion and terror welled up in the victim's throat at the sight of her.

She needed the human blood to finish her unholy sacrifice, and that was to summon a powerful archdemon: flesh and blood of a female vampire, a fae, a shapeshifter, a witch, and lastly, this human.

She had already acquired four dead bodies for her revenge.

One that would require for the Vampire King's wretched soul bounded to Hell for the rest of eternity.

She went to a table to get her brownstone bowl and a long dagger.

An amused smile quirked Lilith's lips before she pressed them together with concentration, drugging her final victims' body and paralyzing her with magic.

'No one is more dangerous than a woman scorned.'

The High Priestess hacked her throat and stabbed her in the heart multiple times without remorse.

Luna watched in shock as the victim's face paled and her body jerked once, then stilled.

The victim's eyes dulled as her soul left her body.

Lilith bled the human to die, collecting her blood in an earthen bowl.

She held Hecate's grimoire with its rough leather bindings and turned up a slippery page, her hands covered in blood.

The first High Priestess had surrounded the basement with a magical shield.

This way, she will know when someone had trespassed before she can complete the ritual.

Now all she needed to do was to wait for the full moon.

Luna withdrew her awareness from the horror of what she had seen.

She saw a name flashing urgently in her mind's eye and pulled it from her memory.

With her mouth choking from the Blood Beast's blood, she uttered the word like a spell.

"Ravin."

It was the Blood Beast's name, the essence of the Archdemon of Gluttony.

Author's Note:

Hello, readers!

The next chapter would be the start of premium, for I have locked it at the cliffhanger, which is this one.

What to expect from my book: a roller-coaster ride of emotions and surprises

I will try to create characters that are 3D and are relatable and addressing some of the problems in our society that are kind of taboo.

I like analytical psychology and philosophy stuff, so you can expect that I aim for my characters to have self-development through their reaction to internal and external conflicts, making their reactions in times of crisis as realistic as possible.

I may not be the best writer out there, but I hope you could give me a chance.

I am a perverted author who likes reading erotica and writing them, so expect a lot of...

I hope you are turned on when you read my R18 chapters.

I love you guys, and thanks for reading my story.
