|Jesse|

I was annoyed that I did not know of Lux's whereabouts. That little minx wasn't at her office nor at her home. I appointed cambions to survey the area around her work and home, yet they had seen nothing. I was starting to become sick of her disappearing antics.

It wasn't until days turned to nights that I became worried. I scouted her local haunt, Occult, but no one had seen her in days as well. The incubus in me wanted to lock her inside a cage at my home so she can never leave. She was the most fickle succubi I've ever met. It reminded me of the one who I had years ago... I had trouble remembering...

"Jesse."

"Jesse."

I raised my head and stared at Blair. "Huh?"

"Were you listening?" Blair huffed. Blair and I were at a supernatural bar having a drink. Blair was speaking of something, but I couldn't pay attention, not when I didn't know where Lux was.

"No, I'm sorry. What's wrong?"

"Head Bloodtrei is becoming more suspicious of Lux lately. He explained to me how she's always been on his radar, not because of the thing with Dom, but because of what she is. Her mother was human. He thinks the Demon Consul experimented with her and designed her as a weapon to kill incubi," Blair replied, taking a sip from his drink.

I almost spit out my drink. "That's absurd. Why would the Demon Consul want to kill us? We have not a given reason yet."

Blair chuckled. "You think? Bloodtrei is losing his mind."

"Did you get a main succubus?" I asked, knowing that Blair had many succubi claimed, yet Bloodtrei wanted to give us the most powerful ones that we could trust.

"Yes. Her name Vera. She's an energetic one, I'll give you that. Very energetic," Blair's aura broadened, letting out sex energy.

"Whoa, chill. I get it, she's kinky." I chuckled.

"Did you get one?" Blair asked, surveying the girls in the bar.

"Ah, no. I managed to avoid that."

"How? Bloodtrei clearly stated that we all now must have one to be appointed."

I shrugged. I couldn't claim another. I simply wouldn't. "Bloodtrei let me off the hook for now."

"Ah, that's lucky, I suppose." Blair narrowed his eyes. "There's another incubus in here." He motioned to the dance floor.

I snapped my eyes up to the dancefloor. I noticed a succubus and incubus on the dance floor looking like they were about to fuck right there and then. His hands were all over her. She was smiling and rubbing against him. There was no sex magic around their auras. It was something else. Love?

That was dangerous. Incubi and succubi were not permitted to fall in love. Not at all. If they were to, the succubi would be killed. The Incubi would be locked up until he got over her. Our ways were dark, but no one dared challenge them. Hence why I got worried about Lux so easily, she defied me way too much for it to be safe. How she wasn't killed all these years was beyond me.

I got out of my seat and focused on the two. Something smelled off about the incubi. I sought his scent. I smelled the succubi, but there was another scent that smells familiar, yet threw me off.

The smell of Lux. Lux's scent was all over him. "Blair, grab the girl, I need to question the young incubus. He smells of Lux." They looked familiar.
