Chapter 148


    Still Titus Point of View:


    “Astaroth…” I whispered softly which surprised everyone who heard me and made the Demon I had


    called smile contentedly and broadly at me.


    “d you finally know me, Alpha King Titus…”


    Astaroth is a Crowned “Prince” of Jinnestan. He is known as the chaos g od of time and space.


    He is one of the highest-ranking demons, a Duke of Hell and is said to be among the strongest. He is


    the patron of battles and engagements, eater of souls, the Father of the Executioners. Astaroth is also


    said to be one of the incarnations of death.


    ording to Judaic lore, he was a high-ranking angel, either one of the Seraphim or a prince of


    Thrones, prior to his fall. Astaroth is a Grand Duke, a Treasurer of Hell, andmands 40 Legions of


    demons.


    Like many of the fallen angels that fell from Heaven, was an angel that resided in Paradise and was a


    member of the Thrones. Due to his position as a Throne, he was highly ranked amongst the choir of


    angels as he would see to the carrying of G od’s throne. However, he found himself joining Lucifer’s


    side during the War in Heaven, and was cast down to Hell alongside all other rebel-angels. He was


    present at Pandemonium during Lucifer’s Rally, officially dering himself as an enemy of G od


    forever.


    After Lucifer and his rebel brothers conquered Hell while newly establishing it as their own kingdom a


    hierarchy was formed during the process with Astaroth aiding in the decreeing of noble positions. Hell


    would ultimately be ruled by the three supreme monarchs known as the Satanic Triumvirate which


    consisted of Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Samael. These three would be above, and simultaneously be part


    of, the Seven Kings of Hell who were the ruling b*dy of the Inferno.


    Due to Astaroth’s influence and power he would be closely affiliated with the Seven Great Kings and


    the Triumvirate as well to the point where demonologists counted him among their number.


    So what is he doing here?


    My father, thete king, once mentioned Astaroth’s rtionship with Asmodeus who always imed he


    was the most powerful of the nine archdevils that inhabit Hell, and the only one of Hell’s rulers to im


    full divinity.


    And that was the reason why Baal, one of the Demons, came down to earth because he was tired of


    these two Demons fighting.


    Giving me and the Demon time to talk, all the guards stood away and left us alone.


    Yes, they know that we are part of the Demons after all, we used to be the guardians of Hell that


    Lucifer trusted until the Moon Goddess gave us her heart and we were no longer useful to the king of


    Hell.


    However, I also know that the presence of Demons can cause our animal instincts to be more


    primal and ferocious, which can be dangerous for those who cannot restrain themselves and their


    instructions.


    “So, why are you here, Duke of Hell?” I questioned while addressing him with the position he held


    respectfully, because I knew that there was no way I could defeat this Demon.


    We were inside the prisoner’s room, with the door open, it seemed that he did not want to walk out of


    this room, so I talked to him/here and now.


    I need to know for sure about his purpose and hope that he will not cause chaos in my kingdom’s


    territory.


    He remained silent and gave me a cold smile, but looking at his wounds, it seemed that something had


    happened in his world, something that had brought him here.


    “Asmodeus did that to you?” As soon as I said that, his eyes narrowed and looked at me angrily which


    made me realise that I


    was right, da mn it!


    “Don’t mention that f*cking boy!” He hissed angrily and spat after that.


    Their fight had happened centuries ago, but never did I know that Asmodeus dared to even hurt the


    legendary figure of Astaroth’s power like this.


    And only he can call Asmodeus with such a title, I can’t imagine if others, random people call him in the


    same way as this Demon in front of me just now.


    “What is this smell?” His words caught me by surprise and I immediately looked at him in confusion as


    the Demon in front of me raised his nose as if smelling something.


    What does that mean? A smell?


    “What do you mean, As…” He raised his hand to shut me up before closing his eyes for a few


    moments, then not long after he opened his eyes and said the one thing I never expected him to say or


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    wanted to hear.


    “You have a pregnant woman with a very strange aroma in your territory….” My eyes widened at his


    words and instantly felt like cold water as I thought of my pregnant mate. Could it be what he said is


    about….her? “Sniiiffsssss….. Wow! This is my first time….” Astaroth kept saying to himself with a


    horrifyingly sinister smile fixed on his face, Oh No, I thought in panic. “That scent…” He didn’t finish his


    words and simply smashed the ceiling using his power with ease and jumped out as if it was a piece of


    cake, even with those injuries the Demon is still very dangerous.


    “SH IT!!! Gwen!!!” I shouted in panic and instantly transformed into my wolf form to chase where the


    Demon was heading, hoping that the pregnant woman he mentioned was not my mate.


    However, when I saw him running towards the pce where my mate was, it seemed that my prayer


    was not answered and the scent he smelled wasing from inside the pce, and there was only


    one pregnant woman there, my Gwen.


    D*mn it!


    The thing I didn’t want to happen, happened!


    There’s no way I’m letting him have my mate and why would a Demon smell Gwen when there are so


    many other women in my kingdom?


    Why Gwen?!


    Why does it have to be my mate?!
