I stood there, staring at the seven women, my Shadow Mystics. They were all breathtaking in their own ways—confident, seductive, and staring at me like I was someone they''d been waiting for their entire lives.

    Though I was a different person, there was a sense of familiarity in their eyes. As if, no matter what, Master would always be the same for them.

    Lily—Alpha stepped forward and began the introductions, starting with a tall, red-haired beauty dressed in a black lace bodysuit, barely covering anything. A silk robe hung loosely around her shoulders, trailing behind her like a seductive veil.

    "This is Delta, or her real name, Selena."

    Delta smirked, bowing slightly. "Master," she said in a sultry tone, "you''ve returned. We''ve all been waiting." Her voice had a depth of affection, even though I didn''t remember her.

    I cleared my throat. "You''ve been waiting for me?" I asked, still in disbelief. "But I''m... different now."

    Delta chuckled. "You may be different, but you''re still our Master. You always will be."

    Before I could respond, Alpha introduced the next Mystic. A shorter, blonde woman with playful eyes and a mischievous grin. She wore a crop top that barely clung to her, paired with tight denim shorts like Beta

    "This is Gamma, her real name is Sophie," Alpha explained.

    Gamma immediately bounced over to me, her excitement evident. "Master! You''re awake! Finally! It was getting boring without you," she teased, crossing her arms with a pout, then quickly shifted back to a grin.

    "Uh, yeah," I stammered, still unsure how to process everything. "Glad to be back, I guess?"

    Gamma giggled. "Don''t worry, you''ll know everything soon. And when you do, I''ll be waiting!"

    Alpha moved on, pointing to the next Mystic. This one had a much more serious air about her. With jet-black hair tied into a ponytail and a tight leather corset hugging her figure, she stood tall and stoic.

    "This is Epsilon, her real name is Natalia."

    Epsilon gave a small bow, her eyes fixed on mine. "Master," she said simply, her voice calm and measured, "I will serve as I always have. I''m glad you''re here."

    Her intensity made me feel like I should be standing at attention or something. "Thanks," I replied, a bit stiffly. "I''ll do my best."

    Before I could say more, Alpha gestured to the next woman, who was the complete opposite of Epsilon. She had long, dark, wild curls and wore a dangerously tight leather dress. Her sultry smile told me everything I needed to know about her.

    "This is Zeta, or Nina."

    Zeta sauntered up to me, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Master," she purred, her voice dripping with seduction, "I''ve missed you. You''re looking... irresistible."

    I felt my heart race at her words. "Thanks!"

    A grin tugged at the corner of my lips as I let my mind wander. But before I could get too carried away, Alpha''s voice brought me back.

    "Master?" she asked.

    I quickly snapped out of it, shaking my head. "No, I''m here. Just... thinking."

    Beta giggled. "I sensed what you were thinking."

    "You can read my mind?" I asked, blusshing.

    "No. But I can sense it to some extent."

    I coughed trying to change the subject. "So, where do I live? I mean, I can''t just wander around forever, right?"

    Before Alpha could respond, Beta immediately grabbed my arm, against her chest.

    "I''ll take you to your house, Master! You''ll love it!" she chirped excitedly.

    The other women sighed, clearly disappointed.

    "I wanted to go with him," Gamma muttered under her breath.

    Zeta chuckled. "Beta''s always the fastest. Lucky girl."

    "This girl..." Epsilon remained stoic.

    While Eta simply gave me a soft, understanding smile.

    Alpha smiled at me, her eyes gleaming. "Don''t worry, Master. If you need us, just strike the light in the sky, and I''ll come to you in seconds."

    Beta, still holding onto me, grinned from ear to ear. "I''ll tell him everything! You guys can go now."

    Before I could protest, Beta pulled me closer, My hand pressing firmly against my chest. "Let''s go, Master," she said, her voice dripping with excitement.

    We started walking, I looked back at the other mystics and they waved their hands to me and I felt sense of happiness that these girls care about me so deepy. So I smiled at them back and their eyes suddenly grew hearts in them.

    Hehehe I guess that''s how it will be from now.

    Beta led me down the street, her body pressed against mine, tightly. She didn''t pull away even for a second from me and soon we stood in front of a towering 20-story building.

    "This," she said out loud, "is your home, Master."
