Chapter 32- Moonrise

I stared at the shimmering surface of the water through the large windows of the throne room. The pond reflected the misty moonrise like a splendid painting. The opulent moon ascended the levels of skies gradually, altering the colors of the horizon with it. From calm pastel, to a blazing intense orange, then settling on a daunting tenebrous sky.

These stages held uncanny resemblance to the my life up till now. I lived a tranquil life in a small picturesque catholic town, then hell (literally) came crashing down with its crises and burning flames. However, I have not yet entered the stage of darkness, which makes my situation even more miserable.

The possibility of my life taking a murky and frightening turn overshadows the possibility of a bright future. I snorted at my last thought. Bright future? The only bright thing I'll be seeing is the incandescent land of red-hot flames, also known as Hell.

My thoughts found a way back to what I had seen earlier in the mirror of truth. I had been in my deceased mother's womb for a thousand years. A thousand fucking years.

I can't seem to bring myself to look at Elias. He hid the truth from me. He hid the truth about my birth when he had many chances to tell me. Although me knowing what happened won't change the course of events, but just the idea of feeling like I have a grip on my past, and just coming to know my origins soothes me. But, I wasn't just mad at Elias alone. Maeva, Lucifer, Drakos and Lexus knew...

I officially had no one to talk to, no one to trust and a malicious usurper on his way to grace me with his presence.

I laid back in the throne, slouching in the process. I am wearing an all black lace dress and a silver crown on my head. The slit in my dress showed off my toned legs. I had to play the part of the future heir perfectly and seriously. I had to show Prince Jacoby that he is up for one hell of a challenge if he wanted to mess with my kingdom. A bored look settled on my face. "When is the motherfucker going to show up?" I shouted in the throne room. All I got in return was my echo, surprisingly even my echo mocked me.

I sat up straight in my throne when I sensed a person inching closer to the throne room door. The double victorian style doors opened and Lexus entered. "Oh it's just you." I muttered. Lexus smirked and kept walking towards me. Devilish smile? Check. Malevolent eyes? Check. Just great, what does he want now?

Lexus kneeled in front of me. "Speak." I ordered in an authoritative tone. "Taking control, I like it." He winked. I made a face at him and he chuckled in return. "Stop playing around and just say why you're here." I picked at my nails to convey just how bored and tired of his bullshit I was. Lexus' eyes traced my figure as I sat in the chair. "Eyes up here."

"You know, your highness , what you loudly and disrespectfully shouted a moment ago is not suitable for a princess. After all, a princess must always be on her best behavior, never naughty." He stepped closer and closer. I couldn't help but identify the suggestiveness in his tone. He wants to play this game? I'm up for fun.

Wait, what the fuck? What is wrong with me? I just saw my mother being murdered and I just want to play with Lexus' feelings? She's been dead for over a thousand years, Thana. I brushed my thoughts off and snapped back to the current matter at hand.

"Sometimes I like being naughty." I licked my lips seductively. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! BITCH ABORT MISSION.

"Is that so?" Lexus replied with a hint of surprise in his tone. "But you, Lexus, need to stop sending mixed signals and tell me what you want." I stressed on the end of my sentence. Lexus stayed in kneeling position. His eyes hungrily devoured my lips. I knew what he wanted.

"I'd rather show you, your highness." He flashed me a smile. Lexus stood up and put his hands on either side of the throne. His eyes darted to my neck and his lips immediately connected with my flesh. I drew in a sharp breath as he sucked on the soft skin, teasing me while doing so. Heat pooled between my thighs. I was drunk off his heavenly scent.

He lifted off the skirt of the dress and placed his hand on my knee, stroking it as he trailed burning kisses down my neck, to my throat then chest. "Lexus." I said breathlessly. He ignored my call and kept trailing kisses lower until reaching the edge of the V-cut of the dress. I stifled back a moan. "Stop this." I said again and he immediately stopped.

"I am not one to force myself on a woman, but are you sure you want to stop?" He whispered, still in a seeming daze. I stayed silent, unable to give him a clear answer.

His eyes shone a sort of haziness as he lustfully stared at me. "I don't know if I want you to stop..." I trailed off. Lexus looked at me clearly again, regaining posture. "I cannot take advantage of you, as you don't know what you want, but when you do, feel free to tell me." He respectfully stated. Even a demon is more mannered than most humans.

He turned on his heel to leave and panic rose in my chest. It's your only chance, Thana. Maybe if you do this you'll lose the attraction...right?

In swift motion, I held his hand and turned him around to face me. "I know I'm going to regret this." I said before smashing my lips against his. Lexus hoisted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. "I have been wanting to kiss those honey lips for  so damn long." He panted before slamming me to a wall and hungrily ravaging my lips like they're the last thing he'll ever taste. His cold hands cupping my thighs send chills down my spine.

The sound of applause cause Lexus to immediately let go of me and I fell to the floor oh so gracefully. "Fuck!" I cried out in pain. "I believe that was what you were going to do had I not walked in here." A male voice commented. We both turned around to be met with a curly black-haired gentleman. He had defined features, he was tall, but not as tall as Lexus, his brown eyes were glistening with amusement. The man was wearing black slacks and a slim-fit white dress-up shirt that had a few buttons left open and sleeves rolled up mid-way. 'Damn he is fine. but not as fine as the papi next to me.' My conscience said and I couldn't help but let my eyes widen.

Okay, whatever is going on in there needs to chill.

"Prince Jacoby Tenebris, pleasure to meet you, your highness." his lips curved into a sinister yet charming smirk as he bowed. I returned the bow out of respect. I must be poised.

"I see I have interrupted an extremely important meeting, you know, the one you were having concerning me usurping your throne." He said sarcastically. I blushed at his words, but regained my confidence in a split second.

"Actually we've finished discussing that matter already, your eminence. One must always be one step ahead." I winked at Prince Jacoby and he looked taken aback. "Didn't expect a cheeky opponent now did you, Prince Jacoby?"
I mocked him. I wasn't lying, though. We had set a sinister plan for Prince Jacoby, but let's hope his plan is as 'good' as we suspected it to be.

Prince Jacoby totally disregarded Lexus's presence and took confident strides towards me. He was getting extremely close and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. The atmosphere around me started to become suffocating. Electric shocks developed all around me as Prince Jacoby reached minimal proximity between the both of us.

"You're going to be one hell of a feisty challenge."
