WARNING: This chapter mentions sex~

The moon was her sun...

The night was her day...

Her blood is their life...

But they are her prey...

The changes over time were minuscule but they were there…

Shu being the eldest was the first to slowly begin his ascension.

If there was one of Karlheinz sons who had mastered the skill of a poker face it my angel.

His face was placid and gave nothing away as usual, his body slouched and slumped in nice darkened corners of the castles where I would find him playing the violin that I had given him or sleeping. This was also how his brothers and almost all the servants usually found him as well.

But what gave him away were the little things, his little quirks that most would never pick up on...but I did.

When he wasn't hiding himself away or thought people weren't actively seeking him out you could find him in the library doing research.

A place and activity Reiji would swear to have never seen his older brother, but it was true and he wasn't in there to sleep or pull out music sheets...no the times that I had caught him he had been doing research on demonic customs and different sorts of mating rituals, I noted from a servant that he seemed particularly interested in.

Or the opposite of that would be to find him in one of the training rooms sparring hand to hand or with a sword with one of the guards with a determined expression on his face.

But it was only when I had caught his words of wanting to be skilled enough to protect his mate and future progeny that made my body shiver with repressed need.

He was thinking less like a teenager and more like the alpha male and a future ruler that he was maturing into.

I watched him closely as the days towards the 18th of October grew closer and closer.

I let myself into his room looking for him five minutes to midnight on the 17th. I found him sleeping in his tub, I noted how the water was still steaming so he must have either been truly tired or he wasn't really asleep... either way my eyes rolled over his form.

There were a few bubbles but not enough to cover all of his most private parts. My eyes devoured every part of him, from the damp blonde curls at the top of his head the the patch of matching blonde curls that occupied the area between his legs.

"Such a shameless woman you are." He said and my eyes tore themselves from his lower body to meet his eyes that were glittering with heated arousal.

I kneeled beside him with a small smile grabbing one of the many sponges and dipping it into the hot water and lathering with his favorite scented oils before dragging the sponge over his form in circular motions.

"Generally I would have some reservations about just how my little angel knows how much of a shameless woman I am…" I looked at him from under my lashes as I let my sponge filled hand sink lower into the water towards his lower region to brush over him. He jostled at the contact. "But you're no longer my little angel...are you?"

"No I am not." He said his eyes darkening as I let the sponge continue to stroke over him, my fingers swirling around his tip...teasing him.

"It gives me a great deal of sorrow to watch you shed the last of your childhood flesh my darling and yet-" My eyes flashed when he let out a breathy moan when I gripped him in my own hand and began to stroke him a bit more aggressively.

"I think we will grow even closer once you do so completely."

"Y-you are a h-horrible woman." He sputtered before moaning as he spilled over my hand.

"Oh... my love, you'll soon find I'm utterly diabolical…" I said leering at him, before picking up the sponge once more to wash his body.

He stood when I gestured for him too, and watched me as I towel dried every inch of his body.

"Come." I commanded turning on my heels and gesturing for him to follow me to his room which he did without question.

He sighed in content when I began to oil his body while kneading his flesh.

My lower muscles clenched and I licked my lips as he let out moans as my hands released the tension he didn't even know was there in his body.

I must confess that I had been doing very well for myself so when I finally grew impatient and slipped and started peppering kisses, and nibbling on his heated flesh I was ok with that. Shu's eyes darkened with every kiss and suctioned pop of my lips as he watched my actions through his body length mirror, he began to harden showing me that he enjoyed what I was doing to him just as much as I was.

His dick jumped when I licked his ear and I let out a predatory growl of approval when he let out a fanged hiss when I began sucking on it.

I continued to tease his body and he seemed content to let me have my way until I stood.

I made sure to drag my silk covered body across his back as I stood before jumping from his bed, I didn't get far before he all but tackled me to the floor.

He glared at me as I blinked up at him with an innocent expression. "Yes my darling?"

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Hmm? Well to my office, before I check on your younger brothers."

His eyes narrowed to slits, his hands on my wrist tightened. "Your not going anywhere."

I raised an eyebrow "And why is that?"

"Because." He said leaning into my personal space until our noses touched. "I'm not finished with you yet."

"You've not started either, to be fair." I mused before turning serious when he put both my wrist in one hand before using his other hand to rip apart my silk nightie.

I watched him not fighting as his eyes and free hand trailed my body.

When his eye meet mine they were lavender. "Tonight, none else shall have you, you are mine."

I tilted my head in a show of submission and Shu vibrated with approval and began to leisurely lap at my neck while his free hand moved with a mind of its own, innocently touching and teasing my body.

He played me, strumming my pleasure points like his violin till my eyes were fuschia, and while his eyes still burned lavender irises staring intently at my face capturing every expression and response to his ministrations his remained calm.

As skillful and confident as he was, Shu was still a virgin. I teleported us to his bed mid kiss.

He let out a growl when he noticed my new position over him.

"Let me take care of you, my darling." I whispered as I begin planting kisses along his neck. Shu seemed displeased but froze when I began rotating my hips slowly over his towel clad erection.

Sweat was gathering at his forehead as his panting grew louder.

When I paused lifting myself above him his eyes shot open. The question of 'why' clear in his lavender eyes.

"I want you to touch me." I said as I grabbed his hand bringing it over my body before bringing his hand down even further so that he could feel the wetness that covered me.

I watched as he bit the inside of his cheek as I brought one of his fingers to circle over my entrance, then brought the finger back up to rub my most sensitive spot. Despite all his touches earlier, my sweet little angel had never touched me there. His blush was so cute.

"Do you remember what this part of my body is called?" I murmured as I made his fingers rotate around it.

"The clit." He said his face flushing further.

"Yes that's right, and this part feels best for me when you rub it in circles like that." I said before moaning "Yes, just like that." When he began to move his fingers without my direction.

I grabbed his finger gliding it back down to my entrance but this time inserting him inside. His breathe caught when my body clenched around his digit.

We stared at each other with burning eyes.

"This is where you'll go, right here. Do you feel that, Ririe?" I said my voice low and breathy and all he could do was nod his head as he continued to devour me with his eyes.

I wound him up, removing the towel him his body. I hovered over him, letting him be coat with my juices, his head sliding across my lips, but never in fact letting him enter, until he let out a sinfully delicious whimper, and with a sharp snap, I buried him deep within me.

...

"30 days." Laito said blankly when I finally left what had turned into our den of sin. What was supposed to be just one night had turned into many, Shu's room still looked like a hurricane swept through it even as she left him sleeping peacefully.

I blinked pausing the plump strawberry that I was bringing to my mouth, it was late into the morning, the sun was blaring harshly and typically a time for vampires to be resting...alas the triplets were only have vampire... "Hm?"

"Kanato-kun." Laito said instead turning and walking away from me, he sat towards the far end of the table along with Ayato and I frowned. Ayato and Latio usually preferred the seats on my right and left side respectively.

"730 hours." Lilac eyes bore into mine, when his words drew my attention. Even Kanato was siting a distance away though not as far as his brothers. "730 hours and 43800 minutes and an uncountable amount of seconds have passed since you've been gone."

My eyes widened when I caught the implications of his words. His grip tightened on his fork as he stabbed a strawberry. "Since we thought you were taken from us...yet here you've returned. Forgive me doll-chan but I'm not sure if I prefer you back, when you are so heavily cloaked in another's scent."

There were about a hundred different ways I could have gone about answering them, instead I quipped. "Then perhaps I shall go back."

I tilted my head head to the side to avoid the knife that Ayato flung my way, his eyes glowing with rage.

"Why? Why did you choose that lazy bastard over us?!" He hissed.

"You would know why if you stopped to think about the when." I said evenly even as my eyes sharpened glaring him down. "And Ayato hunny it is never a matter of choosing any of your brothers, you all belong to me. When the time comes you will demand the same respect, I will give that to you."

My eyes moved from Ayato to Kanato and Laito. "Each of you."

My gaze softened. "Now do you understand?"

"Shu has finally reached an respectable mating age, that is why his scent covers yours." Kanato said after a moment of silence and I beamed.

"That is correct. I have been with Shu cementing our bond."

Laito seemed to relax some, the tension leaving his body slowly. "I see."

Ayato didn't seem as convinced. "You've been cementing your bond with Shu for a month?"

"The mating ritual can be different for each individual, based on the species and power." Kanato said his chin resting in the palm of his hand as he spoke.

"That is also correct. There is really no time estimate, once initiated both sides would be driven to continue going at it until both sides were completely sated."

"From what I understand for even low ranking demons that chose to mate with humans the process could take years considering humans aren't built to handle our stamina. A female human would undoubtedly end up dead or pregnant several times before her partner tired of her."

I nodded. "This is true, and that is why for the most part demons even lowly one do not consort with humans beyond the carnal interest. Fucking them is fine but mating them is a completely different subject."

"Then what of halfbreeds?"

I looked at Laito. "What kind of halfbreeds?"

"Human halfbreeds."

She hummed thoughtfully. "Naturally a halfbreed, even if half has better stamina that a human. There is really not much I can say beyond that as I have yet to take a halfbreded lover human or otherwise..."

He scowled. "But you will."

I smiled at him not taking the bait. "Yes I will; so perhaps I will enlighten you of the process afterwords? That why we might reflect on my experience together?"

He huffed. "I'd really rather you not."

My eyes glittered. "Oh, then perhaps you would care to watch first hand?"

Laito's face blanked while Ayato's face scrunched up in disgust.

Kanato sighed. "Hime please save such foul talk...we are at the table."

I snickered. "My apologies Kanato-kun. Oh and Reji-kun, Subaru-kun it isn't polite to lurk. Come and join us."

I watched the other two make their way to the table, Reiji's ears tinted pink even as he held his head high while Subaru sported red cheeks.

"Do either of you have any questions or accusations you would like to get off your chest while were all here? I would really prefer to have this out of the way long before we are served dinner." I asked with a smile as looked over them.

...

I allowed Shu a week more of clingyness before I began to ween him of my presence. It wasn't as tedious as it could have been. Shu was just as possessives as the triplets, sometimes he could be even worse, however he was also the eldest and had long sense grown used my presence. our dynamic might have changed but Shu for all that he seemed to be a sloth was rather quick with adaptation, this was one of his best traits.

"The moons shine brighter here." He mumbled as he sat in the window sill staring outside of his room.

"Yes, the stars are brighter too, much nicer to look at with all the pollution that the humans are filtering into their own realm." I mused as I walked over to him.

I leaned down placing a kiss on his lips as his arm snaked around my waist. "I do hope to see you at dinner, your brothers are beginning to worry."

He scoffed. "You can't expect me to believe that Reiji is worried about my well being?"

"I was not speaking of Reiji-kun," I quipped making him look at me curiously and I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Subaru and Laito, Suburu-kun and Laito-kun are worried about you. Ayato-kun is too but you know he has not a subtle bone in his body. Kanato-kun is perhaps the only one that may truly understand what has transpired between us and thus is the most understanding if you ever feel the need, speak with him, his tea parties you might find rather simulating." I said and when he nodded I continued. "And Reiji-kun might not look at you like you've hung the third moon for him but he too grows a bit more anxious the longer you do not leave you're room."

His blue eyes glimmered, his lip twitching into a smile. "Troublesome."

"Hmp, perhaps but it is how they show their affections. So I will see you for dinner?"

He let out a heavy sigh and I waited as he continued to stare out of the window. I smiled when he finally replied. "After I play for a bit."

The others were quick on picking up the change of relation. Shu began to come out of his den of sin and eat with the rest of us like nothing had ever happened though it was quite clear to all at the table their was a change within him, hell he practically glistened.

His blue eyes seemed lighter, clearer, his hair like a golden halo. He didn't slouch into himself, but walked into the room with the sureness of a leader. And while he was still silent there was obviously more emotion displayed in his eyes as he stared at his younger brothers and their antics rather than the apathetic gaze that they were all used to and that seemed to have an effect on all of his younger siblings.

Subaru and Ayato perked up and seemed to grow even more playful under his amused gaze and Laito seemed to relax. I watched as he caught Kanato's gaze and held it for a moment. He gaze the shota a smile one that he returned before Kanato reverted to his childish facade.

All seemed relieved at Shu's return and good health, all except his blood brother.

Reiji, I often caught glaring at his brother, and I would internally sigh heavily at this. It was simply just ridiculous how he continuously sought fights with his brother. As the nights passed and his glaring became muttered insults...as if everyone at the dinner table didn't have heightened hearing, I began to grow fed up with his behavior.

"Reiji." I said softly but was sharp enough to make all in the room with the except for Shu wince form the ice in my tone as all eyes were drawn between the two of us.

"Michiko." He said evenly, and any other time I would have applauded him for doing a grate job of looking rather unaffected despite the fact that I noted how his hands tightened around his silverware.

Any other time I would attempt to spare his ego...but I was not feeling so benevolent. "You to join me tomorrow in my office so that we might discuss your deplorable manners you have been showing recently."

When he looked ready to speak I cut him off with a sharp look even as I stood from my seat. "This is not up for negotiation. Let it be clear I am not asking you, I'm telling you."

His face flushed with shame and as I walked away I heard him hissing at a giggling Laito and Ayato to 'shut up before he ripped out their livers' as they snickered about him 'being in trouble.'
