Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

I blinked…, and I blinked again.

"What'd you say?"

"Tenebrae proposed, and I said yes. The twins are about to have another mommy."

My lips buckled, and… for some reason, I didn't feel anger or hate… just utter shame. Was I so replaceable? I touched my womb… and I could just feel the tears fill my eyes, clouding my vision.

"What? Are you crying? Come on, Lilith, isn't this the game? You screw me, and I find a way to screw you over? I guess I won. I wonder if Tenebrae can—"

"Do you love her!" I shouted, unable to stop the words from echoing, as something just squeezed my heart so tightly I felt my breath about to stop.

The black soul flame buzzed, and with a snap of my fingers, the power of the Heart of Darkness surged into action, allowing Arsene's soul to take the shape of a spiritual entity with Arsene's features.

I wanted to see him. I wanted to see the look on his face. And it hurt even more.

He smiled. "Does it matter? You know, in my old world, in the west, people who marry for love have a fifty or sixty percent chance of divorce, while in the east, with the concept of arranged marriages, have a divorce rate of four percent."

"So… you want to divorce me?"

His smile vanished. "I didn't say that… I just want to hurt you… does it hurt?"

I nodded, feeling the grip tightening so much that I could taste the blood on the tip of my lips.

"Lilith, I know you can cheat and make this entire playing field fair… but I'll kill you if you do, and when you resurrect, I'll cage you. You are not ever leaving me."

He's always so romantic. I hate you, dummy! It's not fair! Why are you even attracted to others? Why can't you just be attracted to me? inn????e????????. co????

A/N: I have no words…

Sniffling as my nose became clogged and my vision misty, I bit my lips as he continued. "Life isn't fair, and you won with the name. But you will learn to love Tenebrae, and I will learn to love that blasted name."

"But I want you all to myself." I hiccuped to say, feeling the utter shame that came with sharing Sene with another. I won't do it. I won't. He's mine. MINE!

"NO!!!! I'll fucking kill her, and after that, I'll kill every other bitch out there…."

"I'll kill 'em' all. I'll kill 'em' all, I promise you, Sene. I'll kill 'em all one day. I will become just like Hellmaster. No… just you wait. I'll regain my true power, and I'll keep you caged. You'll be mine!"

I rushed to him, snatching him by the cheek, and glared into those ethereal red eyes. "You'll be mine. I don't care who I have to kill. And since you don't care how I feel. I'll cage you and fuck you till I'm pregnant again. Over and over till I'm happy and loved by all our chibi's."

"..."

"Your fucking insane."

"Tenebrae's got a clock on her head. Same with you." I touched my womb and felt the budding life, and my smile thickened. "I'll have hundreds of little versions of you, all who will love me till the end. I'll have my little Sene. And just maybe I'll finally have your love."

I looked back at him and reached forward, wiping away any kiss or other bullshit Tenebrae might have given him. "Have your little whores, have them. But I'll kill them. That's my promise to myself and GOD. I'll kill them all, Sene. I'll fucking slaughter them. I'll even gut any other children you make. I'll rip their fucking legs from their bodies and gut them like little pigs in front of you. You are mine."

"Lilith, that's—"

"Mine"

"Lili—"

"MINE!"

Wrapping my arms around him, I took a whiff of his soul flame, and my loins just throbbed at his heat. Gods, I missed this. I missed him.

"Hate me… I don't care. You're mine. I don't care what others think. I would never let another touch me. Only you. Everyone else is disgusting."

"You toxic bitch."

"You misogynist asshole."

He glared, and I met his glare with my own. I was dead serious. Any he fucked was dead. I'll be watching each of his bitches. When Sene fucks someone new heavenly…. Abyssal Judgment will fall.

"You'd kill Victoria? "

"Eh… yes… I'll gut her like a pig. No hesitation." I answered. "What part of mine don't you understand."

"Can you like give me a timeline? Like during sex or after."

I smiled. "Sene… Keep this up, and I'll aim for your cock. I'm sure a god like yourself can regenerate."

"OK!!!!! Enough of whatever the hell this is!" Lily shouted. "My god, a psychiatrist will have a field day with you two. Seriously you two need some counseling: This is some next-level shit."

"It's not… it's only a promise." I uttered, glaring at the man who held my heart.

He was mine. And he'd only be mine. Marriage might be a social construct that's utterly stupid, but when I'm done, I'm going to screw Arsene in a bath of those bitches blood. Whether he likes it or not. No one cheats on me.

He's mine.

Mine

Mine

Mine

Mine

Mine

Mine

Mine

Mine

"... Seriously, you two need some counseling. Now, for the reason, I summoned you, Lili. Arsene needs your particular blessing… and heart blood."

I paused and burst into laughter as his eyes slid to the side like a guilty child. "You tell me you married someone else and expected me to…."

"You can be my best man." He said, adding fuel to the fire.

"Sene… I want another baby… you owe me big for this."

"Your, my wife… it's expected you help your hubby out."

"It's also expected your cock doesn't visit another hole that's not my own, you shameless bastard."

"ANYWAY!!! A drop of blood and a few prayers."

"I want a divorce."

"And people in hell want ice. Shut it, Sene." I snapped, ignoring his wishes. I plunged my index finger into my heart and pulled out a single drop of blood from the core of my being.

Hovering above my finger, I stared at Sene, and a smile appeared. "Beg… Beg for it. Beg your wife for help."
