Armand's POV
I hated Ranulf for not killing me. I wished that he did and be done with it. The loss that I felt for my angel had not lessened in all those decades. But when Rain was there, my mind was healed, he had made the hurt go away.Those couple of days that we spent together were easily the best I've had in decades. I was a ruler of the least popular kingdom on the west side of the hellish region. I've had no urge to join the battles of other kingdoms, never feel the need to.My warriors were there to defend, never to attack. I was never motivated enough to broaden our territory, yesterday was the first battle I had our warrior engaged in. I was prepared to die, and my legion was aware of the situation, and they wanted nothing but to follow me to their deaths should we fail in getting Rain back."... you need to stop moving. You know, you should be thankful that he spared your life, he had changed a lot since master Rain. They said that he's the one..." the demon succubus was putting on the healing ointment on my open wound. I was closing my eyes, once again. I was trying to tune her out. For a succubus demon, she's very chatty, and I was definitely not feeling it. My body was healing, it was not as fast as I expected it to be. But Basilea said that Maven was the best demon sorcerer in this hell hole.Getting myself off the bed I was ready to leave his palace, if he was not going to kill me, then I will hunt him down until he will. I was desperate for the release, knowing what Rain had made me feel, I knew that I have to have him back or die trying. "Hey, where are you going? you're still... shit! I told you to stay still!" she was quick to catch me before I fall from the bed, my feet were lifeless I couldn't even stand up on my two feet.What the fuck is wrong with me?She finally pushed me down to the bed, while I was still trying to feel my legs. I shouldn't be having an issue with my legs. Unless..."You were poisoned, one of our warriors use poison on his blade. You almost lost your hand..." she said pointing at my left hand. I was surprised to see the blackened fingernails because I didn't feel the hurt. She was crossing my body to reach for the ointment, her succubus smell was enticing me. I've had several sexual encounters with their kind, but her scent intrigued me. She's different. It was two days later when I finally asked her. "Why are you tending me? I'm sure there are lesser beings that are more than competent enough to nurse me.""Why? am I not good enough for you?" She looked at me and actually pouted. How strangely arousing..."You're very chatty for a succubus." I decided to tweak her emotion further."The king asked me, and when he asked no being would back down until they're told to. So here I am.""Lucky me." She finally let out a soft laugh, so light and cynical that it catches my attention. She must be a higher rank succubus demon to have attracted me this much. "Apparently, so... you also like master Rain? there must be something about him to have two kings fighting for his attention.""I'm barely a king," I replied back sighing knowing that I have failed my warriors."You shouldn't feel bad Ranulf got this kingdom practically handed off to him. King Eustace was the true king who had built this kingdom to its glory, King Arkael was chosen after his death, then King Ranulf was obviously the ruthless choice after King Arkael..."Again she was filling me with unnecessary information, but by that day I had learned to skim her words, mostly just by looking at her. She was a succubus after all, and her beautiful features alone can make me look at her for the longest time. Then there was her intoxicating scent. I was trying to get up, I was feeling the boredom and was ready to leave the palace. "Where do you think you're going?""To get Rain back...""Forget about him." She said sharply."I can't..." I rest back on the bed when she pushed me down. I was not resisting, and deep down I know there was something more to her words, and I was waiting for her chatty self to reveal what was really going on with Rain. She was sitting beside my bed, her allure was pulling me to her and she was slowly arising my sexual desire. Her small little touches have been calling me to give in to her seduction. Her hand caressed my hair and she was lowering down herself smirking at me, knowing that she had me under her spell.Oh, fuck it!I pulled her down to kiss me and she was more than hungry for my desire. Our tongues were entwined and she was letting out the sexiest moan. I was hard in seconds.Well...then..."You taste so delicious, I wonder..." her seduction was obvious, maybe she was trying to keep me from going away, maybe she was sucking my energy to keep me to the bed.Either way, I was letting her as she sexily trails her kisses down to my waistline, then slowly uncover my throbbing hardness.It has been a while since Rain, and it was obviously liked the attention."Oh fuck! You're one talented succubus..."She smiled wickedly at me, knowing that I was liking her treatment. Maybe her nursing me was not such a bad idea after all. Being with a succubus usually satisfied me to a certain extent, but I know that she was a different kind when she started to pleasure me and let my length deep into her wet and very tight throat."Fuckkk... ride me! fuck me now..." I grunted and moaned louder when she did just that. My hands were quick to strip her naked, her voluptuous figure was a treat for my eyes.Her desire was strong as she rocked her hips to mine, I was holding her and thrust harder making her body arched back as she took in my hardness deeper.We were intensely fucking when one of the guards came into the room to check in on her."Leave!" I growled at him, not wanting him to see the succubus in her naked form. I know from experience that once they're in a sexual trance, succubus would feed on any being they see. And I was strangely not wanting her to feed on anyone but myself.I flipped her while groaning from the pain of my wounds. Yet I managed to keep her down, her eyes were fixed on mine. Her aura was letting out her spell, making the guard standstill. I looked at him and ordered him in a much harsher tone."I SAID LEAVE!"He finally snapped out of the trance and was out the door in seconds."Impressive..." she said sexily under me, her dainty fingers trailing my chest. I ignored her word, and start kissing her harder, she moaned louder under me when I started fucking her harder.I knew she was closing in on her climax, I was surprised that I was making her come that fast. My pride was lifted and I was getting harder from it and she was feeling it as she finally climaxes hard, I didn't stop and kept on fucking her harder and faster until she was closing in on another high."My king... please... "With her last plea, I latched my lips to her nipples and suck them hard one by one. Her back was arched while she moans for more, then I grabbed her legs to my shoulder and pushed deeper until we both finally shattered, and I was pumping my cum as she clenched me tightly with her walls.I rested my weight on her for seconds and she was rubbing my back and kissed the crook of my neck. Her words were small and raspy when she said."Please keep me..."I didn't say anything, my mind was still on high but I pulled her on top of my body and let her rest on my chest."Ssh... rest my little demon."This book is a standalone, but it's best to enjoy in the right order: 1.

The strong stench of the blood of my elders was the distinct memory that I remember from my past. I was barely reaching adulthood when my parents were annihilated. Gone was the kingdom that I belonged to, my throne forgotten.I was the princess of the demon succubus and her king, the heir who lost her wings as they cut them off to make sure that I will always suffer for my kind.*****It has been less than a week since I stayed in his kingdom. The dark, quiet surroundings were strikingly different from Ranulf's kingdom. There's no sense of grandeur in Armand's, strangely I feel pain, and sadness as if this palace was built for isolation. I decided to take a leisurely walk around the palatial structure, I've done this a couple of times already, and it doesn't matter where I ended the aura has been the same. Eerie, quiet sadness, aside from the clinking metals and the chatters of his warrior demons and generals. I've heard about his kingdom, Maven told me the history of his castoff ki
It's strange how losing your lover and being cast down to hell can change your view on your existence. Still being immortal, now living in a place where I once frowned upon, a place where lesser beings remain. I did nothing wrong but fall for the most beautiful creature I ever laid my eyes on.I thought she loved me, when I realized she was with me just to make Ranulf jealous, I was hurt. I had warnings but decided not to listen. And now I'm paying my dues as Armand, the fallen angel.*****Looking at Basilea sitting alone was kind of confusing, she did ask to be left alone and now I was wondering. I don't think it natural for a demon to feel sad, she's a succubus, a wingless one. I've learned that she had survived the great annihilation of her whole family, and was taken under King Eustace's protection, the king who reigned before Ranulf's time. I tried not to ask about her wings, but imagining the decapitation and what it must've felt like to her body, I shook my head and decided t
Never would I imagine having the feel of being respected ever again. Losing my throne and my lineage had rearranged my perspective and expectation of my life.Since king Eustace took me under his protection, I had been stripped down of my royal privilege. I was torn, hurt, and many times wished that I was not cruelly spared. Wingless, throne-less, and all alone, I kept on surviving day after day.*****A month had passed that I was living in King Armand's kingdom, under his protection, respected by his followers. It feels weird, but I didn't tell him that. I kept it to myself, attending to my pet dragon in my little tower. Brontes, my fierce young dragon who is the only dragon in the kingdom had let me sit on his back a couple of times. He took me to the sky, flying low to enjoy the warm breeze but high enough to taste the peacefulness of the hellish terrain. It may seem meaningless but I was loving our little getaways and Armand was letting me have my time. The most important thing
I was in love, it was perfect. Until it was not and I became a fallen angel. Then I fall for Rain and for the second time I was a fool to think that someone will share the same feeling as me. That's why when a certain demon succubus starts making me feel things, I put all my effort into pleasuring both of us, sexually. There won't be a third time to fall in love. I've learned my lesson.*****"My King." Titus greeted me the moment I took my seat at the throne."How's everything?" I've been patiently waiting for his report regarding yesterday's ambush to the dragon lair. I left Basilea still asleep in my bed, I had my rest, though I still feel a bit tired from our intense sexual activities, at least my wound was getting better. "Our army is in good condition, no casualties, just bruises and lacerations, all curable. The dragons are the same nothing our healer can't fix." He reported, smiling, no doubt feeling satisfied that he finally had his dragon army."Just keep in mind the drago
The kingdom is my isolation, my punishment. I was banished down to hell because of my feelings. But Basilea is a demon, what could go wrong, right? Wrong. All of it was wrong. History had proven to be true. I was no match for my angel, not loved by my handsome werewolf and now, I need to shake any feelings towards my one and only harem. Easier said than done.*****I busied myself with my generals until I recognized the need for them to rest when we have worked well into the night. Following the situation, I was back to my chamber not long after where Basilea had waited. The demon succubus looked graceful in my royal blue color. Her curves were perfect, her sway was enticing, and her gaze was making me hard in seconds. She walked toward me and put her hands on my bare chest. "Seemed that I've upset you? please accept my apology." Her words were soft as she kissed my chest and then glanced at me, searching for a hint of anger. My hands rest on her small waists, rubbing her bare s
Demon succubus is what I am, what I have identified myself with, since forever. Feeding on sexual pleasure has been it, no feelings ever play a part.Not until a certain fallen angel made me see that I'm the only one for him. And strangely he's the only one I need. For a harem that is. His only harem.*****As a sexual demon needing to feed on several beings to survive, I find myself wondering how the hell was this powerful king seemed to manage to fulfill my hunger.Last night was one of many times, and I wasn't lying when I said that the fallen angel made me feel things I'd never thought I would. His possessiveness was raw, his demands, his demeanor, all made me feel truly wanted. The way he engulfed me in his embrace was the first I've ever felt so safe in my entire existence. My body thanked him for his endless surge of energy, I need to talk to Maven about this. I'm not sure why I need to, but I have questions that needed answers and he's the only one who really knows me. I ne
Being a demon succubus made me desire multiple beings. I needed more. I desire more.Being the creature that I am, made me thoughtless. I've never cared for my sexual partners. I can easily seduce them to give in to their desire allowing me to feed on theirbliss.But King Armand made me see differently, not sure if it's in a good way.*****I walked to the curved stone stairs, I'd seen the room before. I had sex there with King Armand before, but we've always ended up sleeping in his bed afterward.Magnus, his younger general looked a bit confused when he entered the room moments after I settled on the bed. I was not su
I had loved him before and it was not enough. And now he hurts me by wanting to be with me. I still love him, I do. I'd do anything for him. The thought of being in his arms again was making my heart come back alive.Though I know he will tear it apart once he had had enough of me, I will do as he asks. Cause that's how much I love him. Yes, I still love him, although I keep it hidden inside. No one needs to know, not even the man I love.*****Armand was as strong as I remembered. It has been decades ago, that he had fallen out of love with me. He had hurt and tear my heart apart the moment he ended things between us.The room that I used to be in, the bed that he used to worship my body in, the s
Love. Loyalty. Immortality*****Twodecades later"You're my king, you'd do it anyway," Basilea laughed as she sped up, fleeing, leaving me behind with her pet dragon."Oh, now you're just testing me, my queen." I teased the second I reached her side.We were roaming the hellish sky. It was our favorite pastime the moment Basilea was able to spread her wings and fly with confidence. Brontes, her favorite pet dragon would accompany us. We'd fly to take our minds off, and we grew closer to each other with every passing year. Even with decades behind us, we still find it exciting to spend time with each other. Always finding
Mate bond. It's scary when you actuallyshareda heart. The fear of knowing that you are responsible for your mate's life, for his future, and that when you die, he too will meet his demise.Despite what he told me, deep down I was not sure that I was worthy. I am a lesser being, a demon succubus. Despite that he's fallen, he was still an angel. We are creatures that should never be bonded, let alone shared a heart.*****A week after my resurrection, I have been veering off-topic. I didn't want to discuss our bond. The last time we did it was the day after my death when Gerold came to us and basically told us everything that cemented my worry about his future.There was
When you love your mate to her existence, you're doomed. And when Basilea was fading away, I knew I was going to lose her and myself.I didn't want her gone. I needed her, she was my life. How was I to function without her now? How was I to live without her, after knowing how good it was with her in it?*****This was not hell, this was worse than hell. This was another heaven's way of torturing me after casting me down to hell. My head was not functioning, it hurts too fucking much. My heart felt like it was ripped apart, shredded to pieces until reality meant nothing anymore.Basilea was the only focus, everything else was unimportant background noise. I didn't care, I just want her to wake up. I
Everything is easier with a mate. I know this because I've seen it before with king Ranulf and his human-werewolf-mate, Rain, then I saw it again with Magnus, and his lovers Gerold and Savaric.It's like they have their language and I neverthinkI'dexperiencedit until I met Armand.*****"I could never get enough of you," he whispered the second he was inside me. "I missed you," he lightly bit the crook of my neck and I moaned his name louder. We've done this move a thousand times before, but it always feels like the first time with Armand. Maybe I've gone weak with the love we share between us, but I needed him as I needed sex to survive.
I'd never considered myself to be her mate when I saw her for the first time. But now that I could I know that I have fallen for her, deeply and madly.I'd do anything for her, and when I heard her claim me as her mate, I wanted nothing more than to be hers. For however long our eternal life might be.*****"Are you sure we're safe here? I think you should hurry up and we can go back after you patched him up. This place stinks of elves, I don't like it."I tried to open my eyes, but my body felt like I'd been squashed by a dragon, my bones hurt, and my head pounded with pain. I looked across, half-lidded, and saw Savaric whispering louder making sure that Magnus was listening to him. I saw hi
When the need to survive was strong, the will to fight was even stronger. I need to save him, I need to get my Armand away from the deranged elven king.Wings or no wings, I will try my hardest to save him, the fallen angeldeserveshis freedom. He will not wither away in a cold, filthy dungeon.*****Tula was back to help me get dressed, the dark green color was starting to annoy me but I let her do her job. It was not her fault that I was in such a position though I did ask her about Nicodemus and Tordis and the other Concubi demons within the palatial walls."I didn't remember your family reign much, my parents didn't survive the great slaughter. I was young when I ar
Didn't think I'd need him as much as I would. The hunger, the cravings, and the dreamy sense of contentment and security filled me when he came for me.For the second time, he was there to take me back.*****When Justus and Cato escorted me to the new room, I didn't think they'd stay and guard me. But Justus said he was told to stay with me, so I persuaded him to talk about my wings."If you think I'd give you the location of your wings you're delusional. No one is stupid enough to give you the information, so sit like a good little demon and wait until you're summoned." He snickered. The male knew that his king was planning on taking me as his queen. Only time will make me see my wings again, so
Bravery is something me and my warriors never lacked and sometimes it puts us in dangerous situations.But I did not worryforit'll help us take back Basilea. I'd risk my life to have her back in my arms.*****The dragons were hidden until we command them out of hiding. They had been trained well by their handlers and I was confident that they will stay and take us back when it was time.Gerold said that he had communicated with his contact in the palace and he had instructed us to go through the west side entrance of the palatial ground, and so we did. No one bothered with our arrival, seemed like it was the least unguarded point of entry of the outer part of the pala
My demon succubus was gone, again. I hate the fact that I couldn't keep her safe for the second time.I feel like a failure. But the feelings need to be hidden, I need to focus on finding her. Sooner than later.*****On that day I had my generals along with Magnus and his companions seated in the war room. I was at the end of the table, while they were all seated to either side of the long table."You're saying she's what?"I couldn't believe that her past was coming back to haunt her. Hell, her past had caught up to her and now she was missing and all I can do was sit around and wait? the hell?
