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'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"Recheck the guest list," Venia confidently instructed, referring to the pseudonyms she had used to register us on the guest list.The female security guard scanned the list, then apologized with a bow, "I see the names mentioned. I'm sorry for stopping you ladies like this. Please forgive me.""It's okay," Jess responded sternly. We walked in, donning masks for the masquerade party. We blended into the crowd, and I glanced at my wrist, revealing a map visible only to me. The mark on the map indicated Jennifer's location in the dungeons. Jess skillfully manipulated a lock, gaining us access to another building wing. Meanwhile, Venia and Dina kept watch, prepared to handle any backup.As we ventured further, my heart raced. The spiraling staircase we descended felt ancient, lit only by magically ignited torches. "We'll soon encounter a large group of security. Be ready," Jess warned.I nodded in agreement, feeling the daggers concealed beneath my dress. The sound of approach

Leia – POV"Remove her handcuffs. I'd like to hear her side," Queen Heather commanded. At her order, the female guard unlocked my wrists. I retrieved a piece of paper from my pocket, glancing at it for reference."I need to correct the narrative that's been spun by your queen, Heather," I began, meeting her gaze. "The late Queen Veronica made an alteration to her will. She added a clause stating that if the citizens of this realm are dissatisfied with her lineage's rule, I have the authority to step in and nominate a successor." I watched as Heather's face contorted with displeasure. "Jennifer was an influential witch, and she was close to Queen Veronica. Jennifer knew about this clause, and was summoned by the Council of Witches to validate it, providing evidence she possessed. But, when she arrived at the council chamber, five members of the witch council were found dead, and she was falsely accused of the crime. They further tarnished my reputation by claiming I had ordered Jennife

Leia's POVI woke up feeling fresh, and the voice in my head stopped as I drifted to sleep and rolled out of bed. The door opened to find my mates walking in. Kai was holding the breakfast tray, and Xavier held a dress for me in hand, and I raised an eyebrow at them."Good morning," I muttered, and they smiled in return, saying their greetings and kissing my forehead one by one. "What a special occasion," I asked."You must have breakfast and get ready to meet the new candidates," Xavier said, showing me the gowns and his muscular muscles flexing in a half t-shirt without his intention of showing off. I gulped, seeing his strong arms and the beautiful dress in his hands showing it off."Do you like it?" Xavier asked in a husky purr, and I blushed, as he noticed my eyes trailing his body. Kai scoffs with jealousy at placing the breakfast in front of me, and I chuckle at Kai's fake pout."You stare at me, and I can strip for you." Kai purred."Not here. You guys make me lose my focus."
