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."
