Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 82

Lust. An intense and powerful desire.

One of the seven deadly sins.

She was looking at the man laid down on her bed. When they found him earlier, he was already dying.

“A-Are you my guardian angel?” Those were the last words he said before he closed his eyes.

Funny. He called the devil but was expecting an angel to rescue him. Human feelings are really complicated. She thought to herself.

She was getting curious of Alistair Cohen. When they arrived at the parking lot, she smelled a strong scent and she was surprised to see that it was coming from him.

His scent was making her monster wild, wanting to get out. She couldn’t understand what was happening. It was the first time she smelled something like that. It was making her deliriously insane.

“Here.” Ophelia gave her a cup of tea. From its aroma, the traditionally sweetness, barely perfumed fragrance and the mix of floral scent, she could tell that it was a jasmine tea.

She looked at Ophelia seated across her. They were waiting for the Terran to wake up. He was supposed to be dead but thanks to Ophelia for giving him a potion that could extend his life for another day.

“Ophelia, are you with my brother, Zuriel?” She asked what was bugging her when she saw them kissing.

Ophelia doesn’t seem surprised but her eyes were full of sadness.

“I could never be his. I am the next High Priestess, I could never be owned by anyone, even the Demon King.” Ophelia uttered.

The High Priestess of the Underworld is a servant of Orcus, the Demon God of the Underworld. They do not obey the king and queen. They could only be summoned by the Demon King during rituals and ceremonies blessed by Orcus.

The witches lived in Terra but no one actually knows where. Although they are allowed to mingle with the Terrans, like the demons, love is forbidden. They are allowed to mate with a demon and stay in the Underworld as long as you are not chosen as the next High Priestess.

She decided not to question Ophelia further. It’s their first day in Terra together and she doesn’t want to pissed of a witch.

“I thought my appearance would change?” She asked when she realized her hair was still silver. She doesn’t like the idea that she would go blonde but she was the one who picked the tarot card so she can’t do anything about it.

“It would change once you and the Terran signed the contract.” Ophelia answered.

She looked at the man on the bed once more. She was getting impatient as the man was still sleeping and not even moving.

She inhaled and there it was again, the smell of that spicy yet sweet scent, making her crave for the Terran.

Ophelia was staring at her when she suddenly stood up and walked towards the bed. She couldn’t control the urge to get close to him. As if his scent was pulling her, making her body move on its own.

“Princess Athanasia!” Ophelia called but she felt like she was in a different world and no one was there but her and the Terran.

It was like the place was surrounded with flowers and she saw the man laying down on them. As she walked towards him, the lusty scent coming from him made her aroused.

She felt someone tapped her on the shoulder, it was Ophelia.

“Princess, what do you think you’re doing?”

When her mind became clear, she was on the bed, leaning her face to the Terran’s neck. The smell was stronger since she was so close and she wanted to put a mark on him. No, it wasn’t really her but the monster inside her.

She covered her mouth and immediately walked away from the bed. She felt nauseous so she ran towards the bathroom and barfed.

“Princess, what’s happening? If you won’t tell me, I can’t help you.” Ophelia sounded confused and irritated. She’s there to help her but she was still hesitating to tell her.

She took a deep breath before telling Ophelia about what she’s feeling.

“I want him. I’m craving for him. I couldn’t control it. His scent, it’s making me crazy! Why is that?” She brooded.

Ophelia’s face was surprised and couldn’t say a word for a moment. She leaned at the bathroom’s door and looked at Athanasia.

“You’re a virgin demon?” She asked.

Athanasia frowned. It was the second time she was asked about it.

“Yes. Father asked me that before we left. Is being a virgin demon that bad?”

She sat down on the toilet bowl, still feeling nauseous as she waited for Ophelia’s answer.

“You are a one hundred twenty six years old demon, it’s not really bad but from what I know, you are the only demon who has never mated with anyone.”

She couldn’t believe what she heard. She never really thought of having sex with another demon. She has never felt any lust towards anyone in the Underworld, but why with a human?

“What do you mean? Are all my siblings had sex with any demon in the Underworld?” She asked, getting more buffled than before.

“Princess, lust is one of the seven deadly sins. Why do you think demons were in the Underworld? So they could freely do whatever they desire without any hesitation. Demons lust and crave for another once they find their bestia. In your case, you found yours at the age of seven. Among the other princesses, you are the only one who had it at an early age. Most of your siblings found theirs at the age of twenty.” Ophelia continued.

Things are getting complicated from what Ophelia told her.

“But why with a human? I have never felt lust with a demon. I can’t understand, why him? He was supposed to be my slave. What should I do?” She was beginning to get mad with this whole charade.

“Have sex with him. That’s the only way you could fight your lust. Athanasia, your bestia is craving for him. If you won’t do it with him, what’s inside you will eventually go out of control. I am not the right witch to tell you this. I don’t have full knowledge about bestias. What I said was based on what I read, but I believe there’s a reason why that Terran was the only slave chosen by the Moirai.”

She was about to ask further when the intoxicating scent became stronger, making her excited and thrilled. She was in the bathroom while the Terran was on her bed. Why is it suddenly so robust than when she first saw him?

Then they heard a groan coming outside. Her eyes widened while looking at Ophelia.

The Terran was finally awake.
