Levina's POV

The last few days have flown by as Persephone has been helping me plan my coronation for the end of the week. And Seth's public execution will be after as a coronation present from Lucifer. Yeah, maybe I was a little fucked up to be happy about that. But I mated the king of hell what can you do?

"Levina? Blood red or this mahogany for the curtains?" Seph asked as she held up two samples.

"The blood red." It was no contest. The coronation was happening outside Lucifer's office building in the courtyard so that any demon that wanted to come, could.

"Only four more days beautiful." Lucifer whispered in my ear as he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. One hand resting on my hip, the other cupping my small baby bump. "Are you excited?"

"Yes and no. I'm nervous." I said as I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"I know love but you're going to be fine. My demons already love you. And they're going to love this one too." He caressed the baby.

"I wish I had your confidence."

Lucifer kissed up my neck as I spoke, "We'll get you there baby girl." I rolled my eyes and Lucifer popped my ass. "I saw that!"

"How? Ugh whatever. Is there a reason you're distracting me?" I asked as I turned around to face him.

"As a matter of fact, love there is. I need you to come pick out your crown." He literally gave me a devilish smile.

I faltered, "My crown? You're not going to pick it?"

"No love not unless you really want me too. I have a whole vault of jewels that I've acquired over the centuries." I ran my hand up and down the front of his suit jacket.

"Okay let's go." The smile he gave me was like a kid on Christmas.

He teleported us to the basement of his building and we stood in front of a large vault door that looked like it belonged in a bank. "Alright Levina, any crown you like. And why don't you pick out a necklace and earring set to match." I nodded, bewildered as we stepped inside. The amount of jewels filling a Tiffany style store but the size of the entire building. I walked slowly inside afraid to touch anything. I felt like I was having my own Pretty Woman moment. "Love don't do that. You deserve this. Go pick something." Sensing my hesitation and unease he gave me a swat on the ass as he pushed me forward.

Slowly gazing into the cases at the crowns first, there was so many from different era's, styles, colors, how was a girl to choose? "What does yours look like?" I asked as I looked at him and he snapped his on. His was silver metal with black quartz like crystals of varying sizes standing tall above the few spires. It was gorgeous and a hundred percent him. "Thank hell it's not gold."

"What don't like gold love?" He smirked at me as he leaned against one of the displays looking fucking sexy as sin. "Love we don't have time for that."

"I mean we have a little time." I mumbled as I went to grab his hard cock but he stopped me.

"I'm sorry love we don't. You have an hour to pick your jewels and then we have lunch with the leaders of the demon packs." I pouted but turned to keep looking. "Levina, I promise I will ravage you tonight. You be a good girl for daddy and I'll show you how good girls get rewarded." I nodded and started looking with vigor.

I perused aisle after aisle but nothing called to me, I knew I was running out of time. Finally, a silver crown the same Era as Lucifer's had me pausing. "Oh." I whispered. Instead of quartz crystals it had one large red spire type crystal in the middle surrounded by black diamonds and then smaller clear diamonds to fill in.

I looked to Lucifer to see him smiling, "I thought that would be the one but I wanted you to pick. That crown was the queen to mine." Something I had suspected with my reaction to the beautiful piece. "Here love I have just the necklace in mind." Lucifer laced his hand with mine and dragged me a few places down. A circular red diamond sat in a sliver necklace. The diamond was on a simple chain but was large, probably the size of a ping-pong.

"Holy shit Lucifer!" I exclaimed.

He picked it up and held it to my chest. "Yes, this will do." He set it back down. "Now we really need to get going to lunch."

"Is Bee going to be there?" I need at least one being I know to be there.

"Yes love." Lucifer snapped us up to his conference room. It was the largest in the building and held a table big enough to hold 25 people but only five seats were taken, leaving the head of the table empty and the seat to the right of it. Lucifer sat at the head of the table, so I took the empty seat which Bee was sitting next to. He quickly squeezed my thigh as I sat down and gave me a soft smile.

I finally looked at the other demons sitting around the table and gasped, "What the fuck is he doing here?!" I pointed at Tony who smirked at me smugly.

"Unfortunately, with Seth and several other top dream demons either in prison or AWOL he is the highest-ranking dream demon." Lucifer said flatly like he wasn't happy about it either.

"But I thought he was in the dungeons?" I asked looking between my mate and my ex.

"He was but we had to release him on lack of evidence tying him to Seth so we set him free. As much as I would have liked to keep him locked up for harming you when you were humans."

I sighed but nodded, "I'm sorry everyone. Ignore my outburst. Tony, I hope we can work professionally." His smile was slimy but he nodded. I'd have to talk to Lucifer later. Tony only worked for himself; he'll stab us in the back the first chance he gets.

Turning from Tony I took in the other three men at the table, smiling kindly at each one. They all wore their human skins, each one handsome in their own way but none held a candle to Luce. "Levina, I want to introduce you to the highest-ranking demons from each demon territory. We meet monthly to discuss issues and other matters. These men, next to Bee are my closest advisors. Some are on probationary trail." Luce shot a harsh look at Tony. "But the others have been in position for decades."

The man to Lucifer's left was of darker skin, most likely some kind of Spanish descent, with black hair, "This is Casimiro. He's an incubus." He gives a sultry smile that if I had been unmated maybe would have warmed my belly but now saw it for what it was, a mask.

"She resists me." Casimiro says with huff making Lucifer laugh.

"Of course, she does, she's mated to me." Casimiro looks ready to argue but Lucifer moves on to the man to Casimiro's left. This one looked to be of Irish decent with red hair and fair skin that looked so out of place among the other tan men. But he looked as rugged as a mountain man with a large bushy red beard. "Levina this is Cargan, he's an imp." I looked at the man again, he had to be easily 7 feet tall. I couldn't help thinking to myself weren't imps usually small? "Bite your tongue little mate." I nodded and gave him my best 'yes daddy's eyes.

Then the man to Bee's right speaks, "Yes he's a big boy for being an imp. Trust me he's heard all the jokes." He laughs slightly and Cargan just shakes his head with a small smile that's filled with fondness and heat.

"I wasn't going to make a joke. I was truly just trying to figure it out." I said as I looked at Cargan.

"Aye lass don't ye worry yer pretty little head. I'm fine. And yes, I am large for my species. And yes, I am large in other areas if you need me to prove it." He winks at me and I can't fight the giggle that breaks out when I see Lucifer's fuming face.

"Isn't that something Casimiro would say?" I ask looking between the two men.

"Normally but apparently Cargan is stepping up his game today." Casimiro says with his own laugh and a look passes between the two men that I can't decipher.

Lucifer clears his throat and we all turn our focus back to him. "Moving on to the last man on my council is, Phenex." I smile at the last man of middle eastern decent, his skin tanner than Casimiro's and his hair black as night. "Phenex is a djinn." I nodded and try and keep my face neutral. "Now that you've been introduced, we can share our news."

"Wait. I'm sorry." I smile at Luce and turn to Bee, "I don't even actually know what kind of demon you are."

Bee gives me a soft smile, "I'm an archdemon." I must have a blank look on my face because he huffs out a laugh and looks at Luce for a second. "Basically, next to Lucifer I'm the next demon in strength and power."

I nod in understanding then look back at Luce. "I'm sorry proceed." I wave him on and he just shakes his head smiling.

"I'm sure you've already scented but Levina is carrying my child." The men all smile and offer Luce and I congratulations, except Tony of course. "Do you have a problem with that Tony? We can find someone else to gladly take your position." Lucifer said with a smile but I knew he would be more than happy to get rid of my ex. Tony conceded with a shake of his head and lunch was brought out by several beautiful waitresses. Tony was the only one to check them out. Huh. I'll have to grill Luce later. "Let's get some business done and we can be on our way. Levina has shown how great she is at keeping me organized, I think she'd be great at some of the new demon relations and humans that choose to descend."

I choked on the sip of water I had just taken, "Wait Luce what?" I looked between him and Bee then back. "I thought you didn't want to risk me and the baby?"

"Can I speak freely?" Cargan asked eyeing between Luce and I.

"Always." Lucifer said as he waved him on.

"In my honest opinion. After Seth's execution there shouldn't be much of a threat left. And if there is, the five of us will take care of it." I smiled to myself when he left out Tony. "The chatter around hell is overwhelmingly positive about you Levina. The love how happy Lucifer has been. Especially with how the Seth situation has been handled. Except for a handful that he got to join him. No one loved him." Tears welled in my eyes.

"See love, I told you they loved you. And nothing to worry about it. You'll be working in my office anyway so I can keep an eye on you." I rolled my eyes 'working' sure.

"I don't think you'll be getting much office work done with your mate in close proximity especially after she's had the baby." Casimiro said with a laugh and then groaned when I'm assuming Lucifer kicked him under the table.

"Anyway, I still think it's a good idea. And after the baby's born you can take off as much time as you want. On that note, I will be taking at least a month to spend with Levina and the baby." There were nods around the table. "And Bee?"

Bee smiled at Luce, "Levina's pregnancy is advancing at the same rate as Des' so unfortunately I think I will be in the same boat in taking a month off with him at the same time."

"Wait what? Des is pregnant?" Phenex exclaimed.

"Yes, Levina had the theory that fate was waiting so our kids could grow up together. So here we are. And because Lucifer can't do anything half ass, knocked Levina up on the first try and then she had to one up him and not have a normally pregnancy."

I giggled but pinched Bee's side. "While yes things happened fast, I am glad to be having a shorter pregnancy." Conversations slide back to business after that and I kind of blanked a little and yawned. I tried to smother it but Lucifer saw and patted my thigh.

"I'm sorry to cut this short gents, but I need to get my mate home." He stood then held his hand out of me to help me up. Bee and I hugged and then I shook hands with the rest of the guys. Tony was gone before I got to him, luckily. Lucifer said goodbye to each man and then stepped up and wrapped me in his arms. He snapped us home and Cass came rushing towards me, I picked him up and snuggled my baby all the way upstairs.

"I'm going to take a bath want to join me?" I said as Luce came up behind me as I sat Cass on the bed.

"You know I'll never say no." I smiled as I stripped down. "Fuck, so beautiful." Luce was naked the next second and gently backing me into our bathroom.

"So, I have a question before you ravage me as promised." He rolled his eyes but waved me on, "How long have Cargan, Casimiro, and Phenex been together?"

He gapped at me for a second before composing himself, "How in the hell did you figure that out?"

I snorted, "Oh please, Lucifer I've read so many books. They all flirted with each other, kept giving the others fuck me eyes, and when the waitresses came out none of them looked at the girls." Lucifer was quiet, "So how long and I'm guessing it's a secret."

"Over fifty years and not really they're just private." I nodded that made sense. "And no, you will not be the filling in that meat sandwich."

I laughed, "Oh hell Lucifer I didn't want to be! Now the only meat I want is yours. Ravage me."
