No Means 'NO!'

Archdemon Empress Luna

"I didn't want you to stay there because, like my father, I might lose my access to you, my own Empress, and I didn't want that," Apollyon said without hesitation. "If you don't want to see me, I can't  force you to meet me outside Scleranthus unless I compel ten girls to drag you if you refused." 

If Luna were in Apollyon's shoes, she would have done that as well.

She knew that Apollyon didn't want to be separated from his mate, and knowing her previous stubborn self; Luna would have taken advantage of the fact that no man can get inside the lair if Apollyon told her about the Scleranthus, the residence of the Empress, 

She wouldn't get out of the Palace, either, even if the evil Vampire King she perceived threatened to set the Palace on fire.
