Leia – POV

The following morning, I felt drained from managing the powers that Jennifer was coaching me to control. It surprised even her when I grasped the Light element relatively easily, especially since I'd struggled with the more combative elements.

Susan couldn't guide me in controlling dark magic, but she had thoughtfully left a detailed manual for me. I diligently followed the instructions, and it worked like a charm.

"Damn, you are good at this," Jennifer said with a hint of admiration.

"You're praising me too much. Don't give me a big head," I replied modestly, to which she sighed.

"Veronica and Sia would've been proud of the progress you've made in just three days of training," she said. I nodded in acknowledgment.

"I think my mother would be too. I'm glad I'm not weak and can stand up against those who mean harm. Even though I wanted to take revenge on Alpha Nesser for his actions, he's already dead," I admitted, my voice trailing. Jennifer's comforting hand on my shoulder

    Leia – POV"Francis and Ana, Vaz attacked us so abruptly that we could not retaliate. A taser against my body blocked my powers; before I could retaliate, I lost consciousness. A dying growl from Daisy sounded at my side.When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a moldy house, my hands shackled. Also shackled and unconscious, Daisy was nearby, her bonds laced with wolfsbane. "You're awake, my love." Francis's husky voice made me start, his fingers toying with a lock of my hair."Get your filthy hands off me," I snapped."We're still mates, and yet you dare disrespect me?" He grabbed my jaw roughly, his dark green eyes filled with anger. I swallowed hard as fear kicked in my veins but pushed it down, knowing Francis could harm me—or worse—if I angered him further."Ah, there's the calm. Just like my Leia," he said with a smile before kissing me. His lips bit roughly into mine, and I struggled to push him away. Being touched, being kissed by him - it was repulsive. When Francis

    Leia - POVI woke up to find myself in bed instead of in a car. Still wearing the same clothes, I rolled out of bed and prepared to freshen up. My body ached, likely from using extensive magic earlier. A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts."Come in," I called out, walking towards my wardrobe to change my outfit. I turned around to see Kai entering the room, his hair wet and his attire random, as if he had rushed to my room."Kai, is something wrong?" I asked, noticing his intense gaze fixed upon me, along with a hint of worry."Leia, are you feeling alright? I mean, did the dark voice speak to you?" Kai asked, stepping closer to me with his hand on my shoulder."No, it didn't speak to me. I'm doing well," I reassured Kai. Kai visibly sighed with relief."What's going on, Kai? You seem troubled," I inquired. Kai distanced himself slightly, pacing back and forth as if battling with himself over whether or not to confide in me."Kai, you can talk to me if you want. And I understand

I had to prepare for the Alpha ceremony that was about to begin. This was a new chapter, a fresh start in the Blue Wood pack. Francis' old manor had been demolished; I didn't want any reminders of that villain.I scrutinized myself in the mirror, adjusting my black tuxedo. While waiting patiently for Leia to arrive at the Blue Wood pack with Xavier, I was greeted by my Beta, Hollie, who was wearing a green gown."Are you waiting for someone, Alpha?" Hollie asked. I nodded. "They must be quite important, I suppose." Before I could respond, I was drawn to Xavier's car pulling up. I walked over, opening the door to reveal Leia looking radiant in a stunning blue dress. My heart fluttered as she offered me a bright smile."You look stunning," I complimented. Leia blushed in response."You clean up pretty well yourself," she retorted, and I kissed her forehea

    Leia – POVThe pack was in chaos for a week as the infirmary rooms were filled with patients suffering from a dark plague. This affliction ate away at their wolf powers, gradually weakening the shifters from within until they could no longer transform. The healer tried to combat this dark plague with magic, but it was out of control. The outbreak was too widespread, and one healer couldn't assist everyone.Xavier attempted to enlist the help of rogue witch healers. Some arrived to offer their assistance but couldn't cure the plague. Xavier was exhausted from trying to recruit other rogue witches to aid our pack. He'd also requested help from the new Witch Queen, Heather, pleading with her to send aid from her clan to the Blackmoon and Bluewood packs. However, she refused, and it infuriated me when Xavier relayed this information. I had been trying to reach Jennifer and Susan, who were on vacation together as they were dating. Luckily, I connected with Jennifer today and asked them to

    Leia's POV"Are you okay?" I asked Rovina. She shook her head."The healer told me that I can't contract the plague because my unborn child is somehow protecting me from the infection," Rovina explained. Her revelation clarified my doubt. I had initially suspected she might be aiding the dark force to infiltrate our Pack. But when I saw the woman chanting, her aura didn't match that of a pregnant woman. So it seems Rovina is not a suspect."Anyway, Rovina, I spoke with Xavier. He's agreed to release you to the Bluewood pack, your family. Your prison sentence has been waived." Rovina looked at me in surprise, her mouth agape."I am free to go home," Rovina said, tears welling in her eyes. "Thank you." She embraced me tightly, and I returned the hug, comforting her as she cried. "I have no words to express how grateful I am.""You should thank Xavier for it. I merely vouched for you," I replied."I will thank Alpha Xavier," Rovina promised, wiping her tears. I then unlocked the bracelet

    Leia's POV"Leia, there you are," Daisy said, her smile a beacon of familiarity. "I was just about to seek Alpha Xavier and Alpha Kai. They wanted help, and since Vincent couldn't make it because of his recovery, I came." Daisy had been my closest confidante, a stalwart pillar I could rely on ever since I was forced to leave the pack and Rovina behind. The harsh realization that she was the one who killed Vincent, my other trusted friend, was a betrayal that cut me deep. Vincent was the one who believed in me, recognized my abilities, and employed me at Blackmoon Cooperative."Leia, you seem frozen. Is something wrong?" Daisy's voice pulled me from my thoughts. As she touched my arm, I couldn't help but flinch. She looked at me, her brow furrowing in puzzlement. I had to keep my emotions in check. I couldn't let her know I was into her true identity. Not yet, anyway. I had to get word to Xavier and Kai first."I couldn't sleep; I had a nightmare," I said quickly. Daisy eyed me momenta

A shared concern hung in the air. - why hadn't the attack happened last night? How long could we feign ignorance of Daisy's actions without it becoming suspicious? With thoughts swirling in my head, I let out an audible sigh."Something seems to be on your mind," Kai observed, breaking the silence."I think we're all preoccupied with the same thoughts about Daisy's conspicuous silence. The ceremony went off without a hitch," I admitted, looking at their faces."I propose we pay a visit to Daisy's house," Xavier suggested, glancing at Kai and me. "We can use the excuse of checking on Vincent's health. Then, if we see no sig

"You said you wanted to talk. Please don't say you're thinking of leaving us." His voice trembled slightly, betraying his worry.Kai added, "When you mention 'we need to talk' in a message, it's usually not a good sign. It often means someone's ending things." He looked at me with apprehensive eyes.Taking a deep breath, I replied, "First off, both of you, calm down. I have no intention of leaving either of you."Seeing them still anxious, I continued, "There's just something important I need to share."Xavier, trying to mask his relief with a casual tone, inquired, "So, what's it about?"I took a deep breath and presented them with the pregnancy test results.

Kai would be stationed in San Francisco for several days while Xavier and I remained in New York to seal our business deal."Leia, have you gotten the agreement for the deal ready?" Xavier inquired, his gaze fixated on mine, searching for affirmation."Yes, it's all set," I responded, carrying the agreement file to the conference room. We were on a tight schedule, and the conference room was waiting. It was time to present the revisions our team had made to the project in line with our client's requirements.

    Kai – POV Waking up next to Leia was an indescribable sensation. My heart was buoyed by her presence and a recent encounter in the soul realm with my late father. He had given me sage advice: cherish every moment with Leia and always be there for Xavier. My bond with both Leia and Xavier was irreplaceable. As these thoughts swirled, I gently caressed Leia's cheek. She opened her sleepy eyes, and our lips met in a brief, tender kiss. "Good morning," she murmured. She noticed Xavier's empty spot and added, "He must be at training already." "Seems like it," I replied, climbing out of bed. I had my own training to attend. Staying fit was a priority, and I could feel Leia's gaze as I dressed. "Your eyes are giving you away, Leia," I teased, catching her naughty stare. She blushed, retorting, "Am I that obvious?" Her satin pajamas hinted at her flawless figure, becoming even more evident as she stretched and approached me, wrapping her arms around my waist as I combed my hair. "Do we ha

Their chiseled features and toned muscles glistened under the soft sunlight. It felt like I'd won the lottery having such handsome Alpha mates all to myself. Trying not to gawk, I stroked Kai's and Xavier's hair simultaneously. Suddenly, my hand was gently seized as Xavier's emerald eyes and Kai's rich brown ones fixed on me with intense scrutiny."Good morning," I managed, my face burning with embarrassment.Releasing my wrist, Kai and Xavier leaned in, kissing my cheeks tenderly. Their voices, thick with sleep, murmured their morning greetings. The warmth of their actions filled my heart."You look exhausted. Didn't you sleep well?"

I checked myself in the mirror and tied my red hair into a ponytail. A wave of excitement coursed through me. It wasn't just my love for fighting that stirred these feelings; Kai's love for combat seemed to rub off on me. And just like Xavier always tweaked things to his vision, I changed the format of this challenge at the very last moment."Are you ready, Your Majesty?" Lily asked as she entered my room.I nodded, following her to the arena. The candidates, dressed in their fighting gear, waited. As I stood at the center, the blare of a horn signaled the start of the duel. Han was my first opponent. He was a Witcher, melding swordplay and magic in his fighting style. Although he tried, his attacks felt slow, especially since I'd trained with Xavier, a swift fighter. I quickly overcame Han, holding my dagger

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."

I'm not pleased with how Queen Heather has ruled. She's stripped many privileges from common witches and those higher up.""You're the only one siding with Luna Leia," Queen Heather retorted, her eyes flashing dangerously at the defiant woman."I stand with her too, Queen Heather," another woman voiced. Slowly, more hands were raised in agreement. Queen Heather looked visibly shaken as the crowd expressed their dissent."Kill them all!" she ordered, but the guards remained unmoved."Didn't you hear me?" Queen Heather shrieked at the guards, but they stood their ground."I apologize, Your Majesty," one guard began, "but when those in power, including the high-ranking witches, revolt against you, we cannot obey your commands." Heather's fury was palpable. She rose into the air, powered by her mag

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.
