"Somebody went to t-touch her, and he propelled out in that direction." Marcus pointed to his left. There was a big hole in the wall.
"Who could be that?" Xander asked.
"Simon," Leon answered.

"Simon! But he's dead." Xander narrowed his eyes and followed Leon, who went to his closet to get dressed. Leo shifted in his human form and began to select his clothes.
"No, he's very much alive, and he wants what's mine," Leo said through his clenched teeth.
"How do you know?" Xander questioned him. Leo selected a white shirt. He knows how much Aries loves white color and chose a pair of torn dark jeans.
"The girl servant, Gutru, who assisted Aries, mentioned that Simon's ashes mysteriously vanished without a trace, that was my first clue. So I had two rogues from I.T.R, on the island who reported returning to see Simon before he flipped over the whole island into the water, drowning everyone, breathing. Few survivors have nestled in our vacation house in Hawaii." He mentioned apologetically.
"Goddess, don't tell your Mom about that... at least not yet." Xander said, scratching his temple with a finger. Leo agreed.
"I've been preparing quietly and secretly to capture Simon and bring him here."
"Here?" Xander's eyes filled with disapproval as he glares at Leo.
"I'd have a cellar made to order, to capture Simon. He will be confined inside that chamber, and with ten thousand different spells infused with hex, will keep him locked forever." Leo put his hand on his father's shoulder and gave a firm squeeze. "Just trust me and have faith."
"I always do son, but brining the devil here is—"
"Risky, I know, but I'm prepared. I will discuss it with you more, now would you excuse me. I've got a very important engagement to make."

"Leo. Stop!" GG yelled out when Leo went to reach for Aries. "Did you not see what happened when somebody tried to touch her?" She said, reminding him, eyeing towards the big hole in the wall.
Leo looked as though he was about to laugh for a moment, "She's my mate, and she'll never try to hurt me GG." Leo said with confidence. The elegantly older woman smiled with humor.
Leo was utterly unfazed by the smoldering blaze, he lifted his hand and reached with ease. The sensitivity of heat from his touch, transferred through the incandescent glow, and it went out like a light. He was right Aries would never hurt her mate.
'Aries, I promise you. I'll never bring these tears in your eyes.' Leo went to stroke off the harden teardrop off her cheek, and to his surprise, the clay melted into a real tear, and he swiped it off easily.
Then the dry hard outer layer covering Aries's body became brittle and started to crack and crumble, finally breaking off and falling into the void and disposing of it to absolute nothingness.
Unstable Aries rocked forward, and Leo caught her and blocked her naked body's view by covering with his own.
Every man watching the marvel turned around respectfully and looked the other way.
"All right, everyone, why don't we all go downstairs and have some snacks and tea," Nora suggested and started to clear the place, leaving the two in their privacy.
"Alpha, Marcus, and I will be around and available if you need us," Jedrek said, and existed.
Leo carried Aries' in a bridal style. He looked down at her; she looked more fragile than weak and then gently laid her on his bed and covered her with the duvet cover.
Leo touched her cheek in a tender, concerned way, "My Aries, I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you. I'm the one who needs to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but give me another chance," he talked to her and was hoping if she could just look at him with those ocean blue eyes.
"You're the honest and the bravest mate. I would never doubt you or your actions, your reasons, your thoughts, your intentions, Aries, because you could do no wrong, lie, or cheat. I will always trust your judgment wholeheartedly." Leo caressed her cheeks.
"You've compromised your life to protect our pack when you left with Simon, and not just me, but the whole Iron Moon Pack has faith in you." His words were submerging into her, as her body was getting more temperate and healthy, filling the warm colors gradually.
"You're the strongest Luna for our pack, and I couldn't have asked for a perfect mate." His words were making Aries' heart glow with emotion.
"None of those other things will ever matter or affect my decision. You're mine, and I'm yours."
Leo bent down, he touched his lips on hers and gave her the kiss of love and then whispered in her ear, "I'm going away, only to come back to you and when I do, I'll marry you..."

A Glimpse On Leo's P.O.V.—Part II
With the Rogues dominating in tens of thousands, they were barely under the sheer weight of four thousand. Still, every wolf, every warrior, fought to the death to defend their pack. They were breaking limbs and crushing heads, tearing flesh, and shedding blood.
Leon in the first slaying as they came in hot and heavy. He promoted his excellent fighting skills with various methods trying to get to the entrances at the head of the field where Simon was residing.
While Jedrek and Mickey were fighting at his tail, covering his sides.
Jedreks's wolf—Jeremiah was fighting courageously. Marcus's wolf—Micky was like a daredevil, and Leon was at his bravest, killing one, sometimes three of them in a row.
Xander's wolf, Victor—the Lionheart, with an iron hand, fought with single-combat, fighting the best fight of his life.
The battle continued—the war between the army of Leo and the army of Simon.
But when Leon climbed on the bottom stair. Everything went silent. Every rogue became frozen, and one by one started to collapse on the ground, and each lit up in flames.
This deviousness activity was Simon's way of penalizing
