Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Bound by Shadows, Claimed by the Dark King

Selene's eyes grew dark with determination as she nodded, her dainty hands becoming fists at her sides. "I understand, Lucian. I'll do whatever it is that it takes to make that possible. I want to be with you—only you—and I'll see to it that nothing gets in our way." Her voice shook with an unshakeable devotion, her very soul presenting itself to me in a silent request.

I leaned forward, taking her chin in my fingers and tilting her face up so she couldn't help but look at me. "Listen carefully, Selene." My voice was low, commanding, every syllable laced with dark promise. "Do whatever you must to strip your husband of everything he owns. Bleed him dry. But your body? That belongs to me. No man—not even a whisper of one—touches what's mine."

Her breathing caught, pupils expanding in surrender. "Yes, Dark King," she breathed, voice quivering but resolute. "I get it. I'll never let anyone lay hands on me. I'm yours, and yours alone."

A slow, evil grin spread across my mouth. "Good girl."

I rose to my feet, holding out a hand towards her. "Come, I need you to meet Lillith. She is mine too—just like you are, wife."

Selene slipped her hand in mine with a silent reverence, her fingers closing hard around mine. "I'd like that, Lucian," she whispered. "I want to learn more about your world… about the women who attend to you."

I smiled, a slow, hungry smile. "Then let's not delay her."

I walked out, dialing Lillith's number. "Be ready," I told her. "I'm picking you up."

I drove in silence, the atmosphere heavy with tension. I could sense Selene moving next to me, her body tense with expectation. At a red light, I turned to her, my scarlet eyes blazing into hers. "Move to the back," I instructed. "I want you and Lillith to properly get to know each other."

She complied without hesitation.

When we pulled up to Lillith's workplace, I spotted her stepping out of the glass doors, her hips swaying with effortless grace. My Lillith—my perfect, obedient pet.

I stepped out of the car, ignoring the passing stares, and extended my hand. "Come."

Her fingers slid into mine, warm and trusting. I led her to the back seat, where Selene was already waiting.

"Lillith, say hello to Selene," I said smoothly. "Selene, this is Lillith—another woman who belongs to me."

Lillith's mouth twisted into a knowing smile. "It's nice to meet you, Selene. Welcome to your new life."

Selene smiled back, though hers was more uncertain. "Likewise. I'm… glad to finally meet you."

As I pulled away from the curb, I listened, entertained, as they started to talk. Their voices merged, soft and whispery, their friendship forged under my shadow. I smiled. Good. They would learn to share—to adore—together.

By the time we arrived at the house, the transformation had already started. They weren't two women anymore. They were mine.

I drove into the garage and walked quickly, opening the doors for them like a king greeting his queens. When we stepped into the living room, I collapsed onto the couch, observing as they naturally gathered around me.

Then Lillith faced me, her face serious but with love. "Lucian… Selene told me everything."

I raised a brow.

She breathed in, her cheeks flushed. "She explained to me how you took her—how you destroyed her. How you made her beg for more even when she believed she had nothing left to give."

Selene dropped her eyes, but I could see the shiver of desire that coursed through her body.

Lillith moistened her lips. "I know I can't satisfy you by myself. Neither can she." Her eyes glinted wickedly as she leaned forward. "But together. we'll do whatever is necessary to please you."

Selene nodded, her voice caught in a breathless whisper. "We'll serve you, Dark King."

I let out a slow breath, the edge of my lip curled into a dark, satisfied smile.

Yes. This was the way it should be.

I reclined, my scarlet eyes soaking in their devotion. The room charged with the air of raw, bubbling lust. "Lillith, Selene." I rolled their names on my tongue like an omen of destruction. "I appreciate your eagerness to submit yourselves to me so completely. However."

I paused, drawing out the tension, watching as they hung onto my every word, their bodies instinctively pressing together as if needing each other's warmth to withstand the force of my presence. "If I were to take you both as I so desperately want, to take you with the passion I so desperately need… you would be completely drained, broken beyond recognition. I want you whole, but I cannot restrain myself. The hunger within me will not be so easily sated."

Their breathing grew faster, cheeks flushing, thighs clashing as my words penetrated their very beings, awakening something deep within them.

"But don't fret," I whispered, my mouth twisting into a dark, complicit grin. "I have a plan."

Selene—"swallowed hard, her eyes widening in anticipation. "W-what do you mean, Master?"

I stretched out, turning her chin to angle her upwards, so that she had no other choice than to drown in the depths of my eyes. "I'll find more women to join us. More lovely, willing bodies to share the burden of my hunger. More pliable souls to be branded, broken and remade at my touch. This way. none of you will suffer alone. You will all worship me together."

Lillith exhaled shakily, her hands trembling in her lap. "Yes… That sounds like a perfect plan, my Lord."

Selene nodded fervently, her breath uneven, pupils blown wide with both fear and desperate, mindless need. "Anything you wish. Anything to satisfy you."

My smirk widened. They were mine—willing, addicted, and already lost in the abyss of my dominion.

With that issue resolved, I shifted my focus to Lillith, following a slow, careful finger along the bare skin of her collarbone. "Tell me, pet," I whispered against her ear, "What did happen with your invitation to Isabella?"

Lillith's mouth curved into a sly smile. "Oh, yes. I invited her, and she said she'd come to our house tomorrow evening for dinner."

Excitement coursed through me, dark and possessive. Isabella—pure, unsoiled, but with a fire burning deep within her. A challenge to be overcome.

I leaned forward, voice a soft whisper against Lillith's skin. "I have a fantastic plan, but I require your assistance."

Lillith cocked her head, completely enthralled. "Oh? And what could this plan possibly be, Master?"

A low, rumbly chuckle escaped in my chest as I relaxed against the pillow. "I need Isabella to know her position before she realizes she is already lost to me."

They glanced at one another, chests rising and falling irregularly as I went on.

"Tomorrow, she'll see devotion. and she'll not be able to resist."
