Chereads / Welcome to the Innocent World / Chapter 7 - The Shadow Mystics

Chapter 7 - The Shadow Mystics

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!" 

Zeta chuckled, clearly amused by my nervousness. "Don't worry, Master. I'll take good care of you." 

Alpha then introduced the next woman. She had silver hair and an innocent, almost angelic face, yet her dress was anything but. She wore a soft, revealing white dress that hugged her delicate frame. 

"This is Eta, or Emily." 

Eta stepped forward, her movements graceful and fluid. "Master," she whispered in a soft voice, "I've waited for you for so long. I will be with you whenever you need me." 

As she spoke, there was an undeniable allure behind her gentle demeanor. I nodded slowly. "I appreciate that." 

Alpha smiled at me, but before she could continue, Delta—spoke up again. "Oh, and I should mention, Master, both Epsilon and I are married. But don't worry," she said with a teasing smile, "Our husbands are put to sleep whenever we're on a mission... or when we need to be with you." 

My eyes widened. "Wait, what? Your husbands?" 

Epsilon nodded, completely unfazed. "It's nothing unusual. They have no idea, and it's our duty to serve you. This is what we were chosen for." 

Delta leaned in slightly. "And don't worry, Master, we always return to them once our work is done. You're our priority, though." 

My head was spinning. I didn't know what to say. "That's really something."

Before I could dwell on it further, Alpha brought my attention back to Beta. A cat looking girl with short hair, sharp eyes, and a thick body that was sculpted to perfection. She wore a black tank top and denim shorts with black boots. 

"This is Beta, or Lena," Alpha said. "And you've already met her." 

Beta—bounded over to me with excitement, wrapping her arms around my neck. "Master! I can't believe you're finally awake!" She pressed herself against me, her large eyes sparkling as she looked up. "I've missed you soooo much!" She rubbed her cheek against my chest like a cat, purring softly. 

"Beta, right?" I asked, feeling more overwhelmed by the second. "You seem happy to see me." 

Beta giggled and clung tighter. "Of course, Master! I've been waiting forever!" 

Alpha sighed, rolling her eyes a little. "Beta, could you stop clinging for a second? I'm in the middle of an explanation." 

Lena pouted but eventually let go, though she stayed close. I couldn't help but feel a little flustered. It wasn't every day a girl like her wrapped herself around you like that. 

I took a deep breath, trying to process everything. These seven women—my Shadow Mystics—were all here to serve me. And they weren't just loyal—they seemed completely devoted to me, ready to follow my lead without question. 

"This is insane," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. "So you all... know me, and you've just been waiting for me to wake up?" 

Alpha nodded. "Yes, Master. We've been waiting for your return. And now that you're here, we're ready to follow your every command. Just call on us, and we'll be there." 

My mind drifted into... other thoughts. Looking at these beautiful women, all of whom were so eager to serve me, I couldn't help but imagine... the possibilities. The wild nights and moments I was about to share with them. 

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."
