I’m willing my legs to listen to me, to close, to squeeze tight to rid myself of this agony. The object is no longer rubbing against my wall, but I canswearit is now inside my uterus.
“S-Stop—” I grit through my clenched teeth.
“It’s alright, we have cursed those Gods equally so they can go fuck themselves.” She leans over the table, resting on one of her elbows, chin in her palm. “Any who, typically we can only have children with our own kind, an Incubus with a Succubus. However, to mydismay,your father was what is called a Mark. Mundanes call them soulmates, whereas Dylox have what are called just ‘mates’. We can procreate with them, though only once. So I was quite angry with your father, to say the least. He took my chances of birthing a full breed, and instead, gave me a smart-mouthed Hybrid.”
My walls are being stretched outward, a pressure building so wide and deep that I swear I can’t catch my breath.
“When I found out I was pregnant with you, I nearly killed your father,but I knew I couldn’t be so foolish as to not give life to you: my one shot at growing our population.” Her free hand—the one not propping up her head—traces a line across my stomach as she continues, “For us Demons to survive more than six years outside of the womb, we have to consume the heart of our father.”
A tightness grips at the beating organ in my chest.
“I could have had you feast on your father’s heart well before then, but I wanted to see what a half Mundane, half Succubus had to offer me. Your Amoro hadn’t shown the moment you came from my womb, so I forced him to try and bring it out by?—”
“No… No… Shut up…” I close my eyes and shake my head. I’m unsure of where my pain is now coming from. My cunt, stomach, or heart, that not only did Ikillmy father, but she forced him… to…
It makes sense now, why she was so confident that day, that I wasn’t a virgin.
“I made him fuck you, Xeraphine, but time was passing quickly, and you were closing in on your sixth year of life. So…” She releases an amused chuckle. “I starved you, opened his chest and gave you the only sustenance available: His heart.”
Bile climbs up my throat and I turn my head away from her. I open my eyes and stare blankly at the brown door that contrasts heavily with the all-white walls. My vision blurs, and the tears that flood them are so quick I can’t stop them from crawling across my nose, to the other eye, and down my temple.
“Anyways, I’m getting away from my objective.”
The sensation in my core is gone, and I’m grateful for once that I’m becoming accustomed to whatever is happening down there.
“My hope is that with your Mundane blood, you will be capable of breeding for me—” A high-pitched ringing blares in my ears, nearly overpowering her words. “I’m confident that you will. However, as any Succubae, you need to be?—”
I feelsick. She cannot be fucking serious.
“Tali.” The one between my legs calls for her, and I’m grateful for the pause.
I blink away the remaining tears, trying to regain the strength I have in myself.
She… No, absolutely not. I heard her wrong. I can’t be used as a fucking machine to bring more of me into the world. They wouldn’t even be full-bred Demons—oh my Gods, this can’t be happening.
“She’s been pregnant.”
“What?!” Her tone elevates, piercing the area around us, and if itweren’t for the blood already pooling in my ears, I may have winced.
He isn’t talking about me.
There is no way he is talking aboutme.
“There is evidence of her carrying.”
“Feeling hungry?”The conversation with Kai in his kitchen the first time he brought me to his place comes rushing back to me.
“No. Maybe. I don’t know, actually. I feel strange.”
And another one; the days leading up to Tali taking me.
“You aren’t as tired as you were those first few weeks of me chasing you, little demon. I think I need to work harder to exhaust you.”
A chill rolls through my entire body, goosebumps rising from the nape of my neck all the way to my toes. I suck in a sharp breath and shake my head.
I was sleeping so much…
We had sexoncebefore I started feeling that fatigue.
