Leia – POVKai's body was safely stowed in the Moon Goddess shrine, Susan's cold, dark magic ensuring that both the body and the soul remained intact. Exhaustion had settled in every bone of my body after I had returned to the manor and changed out of my dirty war clothes. I was too spent to move much."Xavier," I called out, laid on the bed. He entered the room, dressed in casual attire. My eyes scanned over him, ensuring that this was not a dream, that Xavier was alive, not dead. Those agonizing hours without my mate had been indescribably painful."Leia," Xavier murmured, his hand gently caressing my cheek. He kissed my forehead, then my nose, and finally, he pressed a soft peck onto my lips. "Don't be afraid. I'm alive, thanks to you and your power. You're stronger than anyone else. I hope you won't feel weak or sad anymore, especially once we manage to revive Kai too," he reassured me."But why wasn't Kai's soul in the Abyss? Where could it be?" I asked, my voice barely above a w
Xavier's POVIn the ethereal glow of the Moon Shrine, I found my brother Kai laid upon the altar, his body and soul shielded by Susan's formidable dark defense barrier. Susan handed me an ancient tome, its pages bearing the incantations necessary for our sacred ritual. Within the confines of this ceremony, only the purity of light magic was required - no other elements had a role to play.I recited the incantation, my voice resonating in the silence. Extending one hand towards Kai, I could feel power crackling from my palm, the magic of light traversing the short distance to his body. The defensive barrier crumbled under the onslaught of light, and soon my magic established a connection with Kai. Sensing his soul still tethered to his physical form brought me relief; this was indeed a promising sign.After maintaining the chant, I moved on to the next step of the ritual. I closed my eyes and called out to Kai's spirit, immediately sensing a tug on my essence. It felt as though it had
Xavier – POVKai jolted upright, his eyes brimming with an eerie darkness. Both Susan and Jennifer flinched beside me. "He's possessed," Susan muttered."I warned you to leave me alone, but you chose to bring me here," Kai retorted, his words laced with bitterness. The air around him crackled with dark magic. However, the sanctity of the moon goddess shrine, a beacon of light, restrained him from wielding his ominous power. Agony crossed his features, causing him to moan in pain."Jennifer, summon Leia for me," I instructed. Without wasting any moment, Jennifer scurried away to fulfill my request. Meanwhile, I conjured the chains of light magic once more, binding Kai, who continued tormenting me. "Release me, you jerk," Kai spat venomously."I'll keep you restrained until you learn to master your dark power, not be enslaved by it," I retorted firmly.As Leia entered the scene, her question was cut short at the sight of Kai bound by the luminescent chains. Her gasp sliced through the t
Leia's POVThe sigil Xavier had used worked, as Kai no longer needed my help to stabilize. His hazel gaze, now back to normal, fixed on me, even as restraints continued to secure him. "Kai," I said cautiously. His eyes flickered in recognition."Leia," he murmured my name affectionately. I moved closer, but Xavier halted me."Remember, he's fooled us before, acting normal before attacking us with his dark power," Xavier reminded me. Upon hearing this, Kai's eyes widened in shock. It seemed he didn't remember."What?" Kai blinked, dumbfounded. "I didn't do that, did I?" he questioned, his tone filled with disbelief."You did, Kai," I whispered."I don't remember, but I can assure you I'm in control of the power now," Kai declared."It's hard for us to take your word and remove the magical handcuffs," Xavier responded sternly. "I can't risk Leia getting hurt.""Xavier, please, let's take off the cuffs. We should trust Kai," I implored. Xavier looked at me, sighed, and then made his deci

An assortment of flogs, chokers, plugs, and differently designed handcuffs graced the room, some of which I couldn't even name. Leather bras and thongs were abundant, with ropes, canes, and an array of other tools that I was unfamiliar with. Chains hung from the walls, paired with leather-coated cuffs."What exactly is this room? It's extremely kinky. Were my mates into the BDSM thing?" I mused aloud."You've stumbled upon our secret." Kai's voice made me jump, his smirk a mis
Leia – POVI saw Susan crying, her face a mess of tears, and I noticed Xavier and Reo looking at her with concern. "What's going on?" I asked, my voice filled with alarm. Susan was sniffling, her body wracked with sobs."Leia," she choked out, and I rushed over to hug her, trying to calm her down. I looked to Xavier and Kai for answers, my heart pounding in fear."Jennifer has been arrested and put in prison," Xavier said, worry etching his face."Why was she arrested? What did she do wrong?" I asked, my mind spinning."Jennifer aided the Black Moon Pack, the one held responsible for the death of Witch Queen Veronica," Susan stammered, barely able to get the words out.I couldn't understand it. "Why would Heather do such a thing? Wasn't Jennifer a Rogue witch? How can she hold her in Prison when she was the reason for Jennifer's exile?" I asked, confusion and anger mingling in my voice."I know, but Queen Heather had warned Jennifer never to aid anyone in war," Susan answered, her voi
Leia's – POVI checked the backpack to ensure I had filled it with everything, confirming that all essential things were packed, and then buckled it closed. Walking downstairs, I met the worried gazes of my mates, though their concern was hidden behind calm faces. Susan looked at me with hope, silently begging me to bring her love back to her."I am ready to leave," I announced."Leia, please be safe and come back home to us," Xavier implored, as he hugged me before Kai could. I hugged him back tightly."I will be fine," I assured him. Xavier pulled away from the hug and kissed my lips tenderly, causing me to melt against him like I always did. Breaking from the kiss, I turned to see Kai waiting patiently, a new display of patience from him. He hated to be second in showing his love to me."Take care," Kai whispered, kissing me with an intensity that made my head spin, a whirlwind of love, care, and worry mixed into it. Breaking from our feverish kiss and catching my breath, I had to
Leia's POV"Are you seriously asking us to assist you in rescuing a woman branded as a traitor to the witch lands for aiding the Black Moon pack?" Jess questioned incredulously."Yes, that's correct. I will compensate you generously for your help," I replied earnestly."Besides being a witch, there's something unique about you. I sense a faint trace of a wolf from your aura," Dian said, sniffing the air around me. I felt an odd sensation at her action, but I maintained a steady facade. I pondered whether I had made a mistake in conversing so openly with these women. My mind was brimming with doubts and questions."I believe you already know who I am," I said confidently, assuming they recognized me."Indeed, we do. You are the Luna of the Black Moon and Blue Wood pack—the most powerful woman, possessing dual magic elements," Jess stated, locking her gaze with mine. "I find it intriguing that you sought us out, given your unfamiliarity with our kind.""I had a strong gut feeling that y
