Rain taps the penthouse glass while Leon and Jews wait close together by the window. Rosmira returns with Nayla at her side, and both of them feel the room tighten at once.
Leon Wolfe
Mate. That scent on her... it fits too well. Why does this feel like someone else is pulling the strings?
Nayla keeps her posture calm, but her eyes flick to Leon, then to Rosmira, measuring the shock landing in real time.
Nayla Iko
I am not here to break anything. I need to know why he is being pulled this way, and why that scent keeps leading him into danger.
Rosmira
Rosmira asks Nayla to explain everything to Leon and Jews now.
Jews
Then say it plain. If someone is using his senses against him, I want the truth in the room with all of us.
Nayla nods once, accepting the demand. Leon straightens beside Jews, caught between relief, confusion, and a bond he never expected.
Nayla Iko
Fine. All three of you hear it now, if Leon is truly my fated mate, then someone is exploiting that tie to force him toward a bigger conflict.

“well since were coming clean anyway both leon and jews are technally mine due to a love potion. so Nayla are you taking leon from us?”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +2)
Rosmira lets the admission land in the quiet room. The air changes, not with anger, but with the sharp click of pieces finally fitting together.
Rosmira
If we are being honest, then Leon and Jews are technically mine too, from the love potion. So, Nayla, are you taking Leon from us?
Leon blinks, then looks from Rosmira to Nayla with open disbelief. Jews goes still, her suspicion tightening into something more careful.
Nayla Iko
I am not here to take him. I am here because the bond is real, and someone is twisting it to pull him where they want.
Leon Wolfe
Mine? No, not like a cage... but if it is true, then this explains too much.
Jews
Then say the rest plainly. Are you claiming him, or protecting him?
Nayla Iko
Protecting him. If Rosmira and you have chosen each other too, then I am not your enemy.
Leon’s shoulders loosen a fraction. Jews keeps watching Nayla, but the edge in her posture eases into wary acceptance.

“Jews and Ros dont trust Nayla but Leon clearly does. jews and ros are jealous so clearly and leon is to much of a coward to speak up.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled -1)
Rosmira lets the room breathe. The jealousy does not vanish, but it stops cutting the air.
Rosmira
Leon trusts her. Jews is still watching. That is enough to speak carefully.
She turns her attention between them, making the shape of the truth simple enough to hold.
Rosmira
Then we stop treating this like a theft. Leon is with us, and Nayla is not against us.
Leon Wolfe
I am not trying to choose sides. I just want this to make sense.
Jews
Then make it simple for me, Nayla. What does that bond actually mean for him?
Nayla Iko
It means pressure, instinct, and a pull that can be used against him. It does not erase his choice.
Leon exhales, visibly less tense now that someone says it plainly. Jews’ guarded look softens into something more thoughtful.
Jews
...All right. If it can be twisted, then we protect Leon together.
Nayla Iko
Good. Then tell me what he needs first.

“So Nayla if the queen is here i really hate to ask but up you current mate isnt close is he?”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled -2)
Rosmira
So, Nayla, if the queen is here, is your current mate close?
Nayla Iko
No. He is not in this room, and I do not feel him nearby. If he were close, I would know.
Jews
She says it so calmly, like distance is just another fact to place on the table.
Leon Wolfe
That makes this feel worse and better at once.
Nayla’s answer lands cleanly. Leon’s shoulders loosen, and Jews studies the queen with a new, careful interest.
Nayla Iko
If you are asking because you fear I brought a claim into this room, I did not. I came alone.
The rain ticks against the glass behind her. The tension does not break, but it settles into something usable.
Jews
Then stay honest with us, and we can work with that.
“While the group was talking Cleara entered from the kitchen when a pink flash ingulfs all of them. when they open there eyes all of them have been moved”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +0)
A pink flash swallows the room. When it snaps away, the penthouse is different, quieter, too still for a heartbeat.
Rosmira
The floor feels farther away.
Rosmira steadies herself fast, her gaze catching the rain-streaked glass, the low seating, and the sealed note left behind like a promise that has not finished speaking.
Leon Wolfe
...We moved.
Jews
No, we were moved. Different feeling entirely.
Nayla Iko
Yes. Someone used a clean pull. I did not do this.
Leon straightens, not panicked, but alert now. Jews shifts closer to Rosmira, eyes cutting over the room as if counting exits that no longer matter.
Nayla remains calm by the window, but her attention sharpens on the empty air beside the door, waiting for whatever follows the bright strike.
