"You shouldn't go around flirting with everyone." I heard Alex's voice coming from the left and turned to see him.
"Why? Are you jealous?" I asked and approached him slowly. "I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with me."
I could see an uneasy look on Alex's face, a touch of jealousy and doubt.
"Sophia, you're going to end up regretting it," Alex speaks after thinking for a few seconds, and I know he's frustrated.
"I've regretted a lot of things in my life, including choosing to have sex with some people who, well, weren't good enough." I'm very close to Alex, and I tilt my head to speak close to his ear. "But life would be very dull if we didn't taste things..." I lower my voice an

"Hey! You're not going to sleep here, are you?" I heard Samuel's voice and opened my eyes, letting out a low laugh."No, I'm not sleeping here..." I smiled and added something he definitely wasn't expecting: "But maybe in a hotel room with you accompanying me."I saw his eyes widen for a second and then his laugh echoed, and I liked the sound of it, but that twinge of pain came back."By the Goddess! You're very direct and very different." He said, pouring me a shot of apple mead."Why be the same when I can be different?" I asked, smiling."I agree with that!" Samuel replied and handed me the glass. "It's a busy night, but if you want to wait, we can go somewhere else afterward."

Sophia POVAgain I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I look around, we're outside the bar, there are a few cars there, and several people are looking at our discussion, but I know it's none of them, so I let my gaze wander to more hidden places.Alex holds my arm, but I don't push him, I know he understands what I'm doing and in fact, he's also looking around.I finally stop and look further to the right, down a much darker street, and it's impossible to tell if there's anything there, but I know that whatever is watching me is there."Sophia, we need to go." I heard Alex's voice and with my peripheral vision, I saw some people heading in the direction I had stopped to pay more attention. "Sophia, please."

Sophia POVI woke up not wanting to wake up because that feeling of having been discarded was still intense, I didn't know how I was going to cope with it, and again I felt like crying, I swallowed and took several deep breaths to control that urge.I got up and went to the closet, grabbing some pajamas from there. I needed to change and have breakfast, I also needed to take my medication and especially stay away from Achilles, at least as far away as I could.I brush my teeth, splash some water on my face and see that I look a bit pale. I take another deep breath, comb my hair and go to the bedroom door. When I open it, I can hear a commotion outside, and I know immediately that Achilles and Perseus are there, as well as Hyperion and Alex, they're discussing something.

Sophia POV"Of course there is... He didn't want me." I said simply, and my heart ached again."He wants you, but he can't... Not yet." Alex said, and I took a deep breath, looking away from him. "Sophia... I promise, after you talk to Hyperion, things will make sense.""Okay." It was the only thing I managed to say, and Alex pulled away, giving me a kiss in the middle of my forehead.I closed my eyes and tried to control this rollercoaster of emotions: part of me trusts Alex, while there's a part that wants to protect itself, even if it means hurting others.We started walking towards the elevator and I saw it hit the penthouse floor again, only this time instead of the brothers going to the dining room, we pas

Sophia POV"Sophia, the supernatural world does exist." Hyperion began to speak calmly, I knew he was analyzing my reactions.I think my disbelief was clear because Perseus took a deep breath and rolled his eyes."It's not quite like the books you've read... I looked it up, but some facts are very similar." Hyperion continued, but my debauched smile was even more visible."That won't work." I heard Perseus mutter, and then he turned to me.Immediately I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I could see in his eyes as if I were his prey, I was very careful to keep my breathing even, without showing any reaction.I remember what I said to Alex last nig

Sophia POV"Sophia..." Achilles called me softly, and I could feel his pain in that call."Is that why you called me here? To tell me that I have no choice?" I clenched my fingers tightly."Yes, you do." This time it was Alex who spoke, and I turned my face to meet his eyes. "There's a ritual... You can reject it if you want."I know that neither Achilles nor Helios are satisfied because they both let out loud growls."But once you've done it, there's no going back... You won't be able to regret it." Alex continued."Did you know that?" I rolled my eyes. "Of course, you knew... Otherwise, why would you have talked me out of it at the club last night?"

Sophia POVI stopped at the door and turned to look at the three of them."I'm fine... It won't be the first time I've been with more than one guy at the same time." This time I spoke seriously, not just to tease. "I'm fine with my choices... I've already told Alexandre a few times. I like a lot of things, and I don't mind one bit if someone finds out what I've done... But just so we're clear, since this seems to be a very important topic for you. I've had sex with women, I've had sex with guys, and I've definitely been to a few orgies in my life. I know how to use a whip and I know a lot of different kinds of knots, I've been on my knees in front of someone, just as I've had people kneel at my feet... If any of the things I've said are a problem for you two, then you'd better talk to each other about whether you want to give it a go, but under no

Sophia POV"Look, we're not going to do this... Only when we're sure that this is what we want." Achilles said, but I didn't like it."It's a horrendous crime to mark someone against their will. When that happens, instead of having a tattoo that symbolizes our souls, there will be a stain." Perseus said, and I relaxed a little."The fucking part will be fun, but this... This..." I couldn't even finish speaking, already feeling more dizzy."Don't worry. We're not even at the stage of spending the night together." Achilles spoke with a certain remorse, and then I remembered the night before and turned my face away."I don't want to go through what I felt last night," I spoke with as much strength as I could muster

Hélios POVThe witch's suggestion makes sense, but it means that everyone would see the curse inside Sophia, and there are several possibilities for how this meeting could end. Among the most likely, two stand out: the first would be the execution of Sophia as soon as they perceived the presence of the curse; the second, that some would fight against the curse to try to save her. However, neither of these options brought any guarantee of success or safety for her.My thoughts were in chaos. Sophia had already suffered enough, and the idea that her life was still at risk made me uneasy. I looked at Khalid, as among us, he always had extensive knowledge and a much better way of expressing himself than I did. Maybe he had a strategy to get us out of this complex and potentially deadly situation for Sophia.“Indeed, Lady Shangō Furen's suggestion makes perfect sense.” Khalid finally spoke, his voice filled with consideration.I was surprised, as I was sure he had also come to the same con

Achilles POVI understand Hélios's anger and Khalid's reasons... Both are right in their views, and Khalid is not wrong in saying that we failed as a pack, not only that, we failed to protect our Fated.I watched as the greenish energy transferred to the pen drive and held my breath, as Azrik showed no sign of noticing the strange energy, but he began to work on the laptop without any issues, and the energy dissipated after a few minutes."I do see several pieces of evidence here that Naomi, or Sophia, was not kidnapped." Azrik said, lifting his face from the laptop.His eyes sought Ivar's, who stood his ground."Who abandoned Naomi, I'll call her that for now, injured and almost at death's door?" Azrik asked."We don't know." Gáta answered. "Things are confusing, even the Bond of Fate is strange and fragile."Gáta made a motion with her hand, and then two red lines appeared, one on my wrist and one on Ivar's... Mine was dimmer, weaker, while Ivar's was brittle and emitting small spar

Khalid POV"If all the evidence is true, then the Black Moon pack will be punished." Azrik said, looking at Ivar in an intimidating way, which made the alpha shrink. "But there is another question, why bring these truths to light only now? You stayed with the Moon Warriors pack for a long time, helping them... Why didn't you tell them about these revelations?"I looked at Hélios, as this is a question he might be asking himself, his anger is contained, but I know he can kill me if he wishes."Because it wasn't my job to do the work of the Alpha and Gamma of the pack." I answered truthfully. "It's not my role to find the culprits of the attacks... If the pack can't do that, then it's the pack's failure, not mine. I never hid the information, and just like I found it, they could have found it if they had looked properly."I see Hélios clench his fists along his body, I don't blame him for that, but I won't sugarcoat my words, he needed to know the raw truth. They had failed in that, and

Achilles POV"Achilles, calm down, pacing back and forth won't help." Khalid said.I rolled my eyes; the meeting is very important, and I simply can't stay still. I know a lot depends on the council accepting our request.It will be very difficult to prove that we didn't kidnap Sophia, but I'm sure that if we can make the council force Ivar to bring Sophia to the council, then we'll have a chance.I felt my energy being drained less than two hours ago, which indicates that Sophia is still conscious and her memory hasn't been completely altered."We will bring Sophia back." Hélios said determinedly."I know..." I whispered and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.I heard two knocks on the door and opened my eyes, and soon after Hyperion entered."They are ready." Hyperion said.I looked at Khalid, Hélios, and Alex; everyone here is in favor of going to the last resort, even if it means declaring war against everyone.The walk down the hallway was quick, and during that time, I used my

Sophia POVI blinked a few times, feeling my whole body aching, not just my chest, something is very strange, very different… The air around me is not the same as I am used to.Finally, I managed to focus my gaze and came face to face with a very familiar ceiling, a light gray tone, with a small chandelier with golden details. I turned my head and came face to face with the dark wood desk and sat on the bed, my heart racing.I couldn't have come back to this cursed place, how was this happening? I know this room very well, as it is the same room where I suffered various abuses, from physical and mental tortures to rape…I looked down and saw that I was wearing a silver nightgown, my hair reaching my breasts, in a platinum blonde tone, almost white… The tone he loved, always saying he was in love with it and that I should never cut or dye my hair.I widened my eyes, seeing the various reddish scars on my arms, I was sure they should have already healed!‘Heavens, what is happening?’ I
Reborn from Ashes Post-Battle
Hélios POVI tried to fight against the curse, I could see Perseus being led by that strange voice, a voice that was neither mine nor his, but even with all my strength, I couldn't break the wall that was between us.I only had enough strength when Perseus wounded and almost killed Sophy, at that moment I lost my mind and my whole being transformed, I had found the necessary strength, but it was almost too late.I prayed that the Gods wouldn't let my destined die, that Sophy wouldn't blame me for Perseus' mistakes, that she could find it in her heart to forgive us. I knew that, even though I had tried to protect her, the pain that Perseus caused would be hard to overcome. But I also knew that our bond was strong, and that, with time, maybe she could understand that I never wanted any of this to happen.Then I heard the warnings of the attack in my mind and made an agreement with Khalid, I know he doesn't want to hurt Sophy, I also know he loves her, I saw the fury in his eyes when he
Reborn from Ashes Spells
Khalid POVHélios' aura is completely different; I believe he has finally awakened his divine side, like a demigod… He had to wake up because of the shock the curse caused.Perseus must be inside Hélios' mind trying to recover, but I know that it won't be kind words that will make Sophia forgive him, if she ever does.There are several fights going on, but the corridor leading to the surgery room is practically empty. As we approach, enemies and allies crouch down, unable to bear the weight of their own bodies, precisely because of our aura.Now it is clear who the enemies are; all of them wore the insignia of the Black Moon pack, which is quite bold of them to attack the main city and the hospital to try to steal Sophia, who is the Luna and Beta of this place.What do they want? I still don't know, but I can't get out of my head the phrase Gáta used, that Perseus and Achilles are not the true destined ones.'The person Sophia hates the most is the one who beat her and left her to die
Reborn from Ashes Betrayal
Achilles POVI took the necklace out of my pocket and threw it at Perseus' chest. Alex had given me the item when I arrived at the hospital. My anger is only controlled because I know Sophia is feeding off the energy of the link; I can feel that Boreas is being drained in such a way that I am almost certain he will die if this continues.Perseus picked up the item and tears began to flow down his face again as he cringed. I had never seen him so vulnerable, not even at his mother's or girlfriend's funeral. I might have felt pity if I didn't know that all of this is his fault, for his stupid decision to think Sophia would betray us, especially with Khalid.Before I could say anything, the door burst open and I saw the witch, Gáta, entering with a silver dagger that glowed bluish, as if it were a flame that never went out."KHALID! Pay attention! The curse is spreading!" Gáta shouted and came towards me. "Give me your wrists, I need to cut your connection, it will hurt, but your wolf wi

Khalid POVEverything seemed to be in slow motion, as I initially couldn't understand how Sophia had the speed to place herself between me and Perseus. But I quickly realized she used the auras of Perseus and Achilles, combining them to become faster than either of us."NO!" I shouted, as I held Sophia's body, feeling her heart begin to stop beating. I had to fight against my spiritual side to keep from killing Perseus, but at that moment, we needed to help Sophia. I saw Alex running out of the cabin."THE HOSPITAL IS WAITING!" Alex shouted.Surely, the entire pack must have felt Sophia's pain at the moment of the blow, since she is connected to the Alpha and the Beta... And there's another aggravating factor: it was her companion who hurt her, which causes even more pain and makes the wound more severe.I concentrated the shadows around me, transforming them into tiny particles of sand, trying to recreate the paths of the veins and arteries that were cut, in a desperate attempt to ke
