2023-10-03 22:00:39Sophia POV
I 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.

Reborn from Ashes 25 - Conversations 2
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
Huling Na-update : 2023-10-04Reborn from Ashes 27 - Revelations 2
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?"
Huling Na-update : 2023-10-04Reborn from Ashes 28 - Explanations
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

Sophia POV"It's the link," Perseus replied, slipping his hands around my waist and pulling me to him. My body relaxed even more."I've barely discovered it, and I'm already having so many side effects..." I whispered. "I never... not like this...""Come on, let's talk more in your room," Perseus said, but when I tried to get out of his embrace he picked me up, and I was too tired to fight it.I closed my eyes and hid my face in his arms. It wasn't long before we were in my room and I heard the door close. Perseus sat down on my bed and Achilles sat down next to him."You asked for time to think, so that's fine... But when you left, my father remembered that there were still things to tell you." Pe
Huling Na-update : 2023-10-05Reborn from Ashes 31 - Hospitalization 2
Perseus POVShe was fine, she was talking to me and Achilles and out of the blue her heart didn't want to beat anymore, I despaired, but thankfully Achilles acted quickly and pulled Sophia out of my arms, putting her on the floor and performing the resuscitation movements."Open your eyes, Soph..." I heard my friend saying it, and I was repeating the same words myself.Then she opened her eyes and saw me, I could feel that she was so tired, but that expression of love and affection would never be forgotten."Good girl..." I say, caressing her face, and I see out of the corner of my eye that she tries to raise her hand, but she can't finish the movement and her heart simply stops beating."NO!" I shouted."Son!" My father is here, pulling me. "Let the doctors work!"I don't want to get away from her, I can't leave her... What kind of joke is this? I'm trying to do everything to be right, but why was the Goddess giving me an exceptional woman, only to take her away later?"Perseus! If y
Huling Na-update : 2023-10-06Reborn from Ashes 32 - Khalid 1
Achilles POVI'm sitting on the other side of the bed, also holding Sophia's hand, my childhood friend is shattered, I can feel his feelings... The Lykaios family bond is different, even before the mark happens, we can already feel what the other feels.That's why we're taught from an early age to understand other people's feelings and to control our own, because we'll always feel more than others. I want to say something, but I know my friend won't hear a word, he's still blaming himself for revealing the information to Sophia so hastily.I already knew that we would have to prove it to her, but it was a shock what Perseus had chosen, and I felt his happiness at finally being able to feel Sophia's touch, and how jealous he was of me.Not only that, but I spent the most time with her, I was the one who helped her in the hospital, I was the one who wrapped her in my arms and had the pleasure of tasting her skin and hearing her moan... So I understand what my friend is going through. It

Reborn from Ashes The Ritual One
Sophia POV"You are a Chimera." Nina spoke again, in a gentler tone, like a kind teacher explaining to a child how things work. "Changing your appearance is not simple."Nina's words changed the atmosphere in the room again. Everyone fell silent, absorbing the weight of that statement. Achilles approached me, as if he could protect me from the truths that were about to come. Khalid just watched, with a serious expression."Alright, I understand." I said and felt Achilles hugging me from behind, his hands passing around my waist, a silent form of comfort. "Continue.""A Chimera is composed of several beings, several animals, mythological or not." Nina explained.And then she looked me up and down, analyzing every aspect of me, both physically and my soul, and I noticed a touch of melancholy in her eyes."And you have lost several since we first met." Nina explained.I felt a pang of pain in my chest, as I knew that meant I had died in agony each time one of those creatures left. Nina n
Reborn from Ashes Surprises Two
Sophia POVNina turned with the same grace that always surrounded her, her movements smooth like a silent dance. Her eyes landed on Alexandre, and to his surprise, her expression remained serene, unaltered, as if the words he had just spoken were no more than part of a trivial conversation.Alex was not prepared for such tranquility. The lack of reaction completely disarmed him, and I could see insecurity take over his features. Even his wolf, which had been animated and even aggressive, retreated inside him, as if shrinking before Nina's calm. All the aggressiveness that had emanated from him dissolved into the air."Interesting." Khalid said with a low laugh.Nina looked at him, and for a brief moment, I saw a subtle smile on her lips, but then she turned back to Alexandre again."My name is Alexandre." Alex introduced himself, almost stammering."I remember your presence in our laboratory." Nina replied, her voice maintaining a neutral tone.Alex nodded, not daring to speak. Nina's
Reborn from Ashes Surprises
Sophia POVKhalid nodded at my response. There was no questioning, no questions, and certainly no doubts, only understanding and acceptance. And that brought me a peace I didn't know I needed.This had always been my bond with Khalid, long before he became my mate… The vampire understood me on a different level from Achilles and Perseus, but that didn't mean something would happen between us.I had never thought of betraying my mates, I had never thought of Khalid as anything more than a good friend, only now, feeling the attraction of the bond, I started to feel this way, never before."When do you want this change?" Khalid asked me, his voice now carrying a more sensual tone, something I hadn't noticed before."As soon as possible!" I replied without needing to think much about it.I felt Achilles's body tense up, and I turned my head to look at him."You just woke up…" Achilles explained. "I don't want to put you in another coma… Your body is under a lot of stress."I sighed and he
Reborn from Ashes The Awakening Two
Sophia POVI feel a shiver run down my spine with that phrase, something I didn't know was possible, because there's a different tone, it's not like Khalid telling me I'm an object, it was different…It was acceptance, certainty, as if, by calling me that, he was recognizing something beyond the physical, beyond desire, beyond the blood that pulses in our veins.He didn't see me as a possession, but as part of something ancient, sacred.My Shi. A phrase that meant our souls were connected…Maybe that's how I should have felt from the beginning with Achilles and Perseus, but I was different back then, I didn't know about this world and had to learn about everything…It's not that the connection between me and Khalid is stronger, but it's different… And this difference is glaring… Because Achilles and Perseus had to fight from the start to win me over…They were the ones who taught me about the Bond, the Balance, and what it means to be a mate, and in this difference, there's an added w
Reborn from Ashes The Awakening
Sophia POVWaking up should be easy, but honestly? In my current state, it's not. My whole body aches, as if needles are penetrating my muscles, and I let out a groan of pain. But that only worsens the situation, as my head starts spinning, even with my eyes closed.I took deep breaths several times to try and make the sensation go away, until I felt my hands being held. The touch is gentle and loving, and I can feel the sparks of destiny taking effect, spreading through my wrists and up my arms, easing my pain.After a few seconds, I managed to blink a few times before focusing my gaze. I know I should pay attention to Achilles and Perseus, but what catches my attention is a completely different smell.It's a strange mixture, dark yet warm at the same time… It's like black amber, with myrrh, mixed with the dry heat of the desert at sunset, where the sand still holds the warmth of the sun, but the air begins to cool. There's a subtle scent of dried earth after rain, rare and sacred, m
Reborn from Ashes Choices Two
Achilles POV"Shut up!" I yelled at the illusion, my voice reverberating through the space like a furious thunderclap.I turned abruptly to Perseus, my breathing heavy, and without hesitation, I raised my hand, slapping him across the face. The sharp crack of the impact echoed through the place, my Alpha widened his eyes, surprised not only by the blow but by the intensity of my gaze that openly challenged him."I know you better than anyone, Perseus, and I know you're not like this! You're not a monster!" I exclaimed."This is the second time I've put her in a hospital!" Perseus shouted, his voice filled with anger and despair.He pushed me hard, but my feet remained firm on the ground. His strength could have knocked me down, but I wouldn't back down."Next time she might not survive!" I said with determination. "And will you allow there to be a third time?"My voice came out cold as ice, sharp as a blade. I watched the red mark of my fingers begin to form on his face, standing out
Reborn from Ashes Choices
Aquiles POVThere is a lot of information, but it all makes sense… Although I don't like the idea of Khalid being a permanent part of our lives. I would have liked a moment just for me and Perseus with Sophia, something we've been seeking since the first moment we saw her, and now we have to accept that this moment may never exist.I closed my eyes for a few seconds and sighed. My body and my wolf are tired; after all, we've been drained intensely and constantly, and I feel my body losing strength and my legs giving in under the weight of exhaustion. Before I could react, I felt a pair of firm hands holding me, preventing my fall.“Aquiles!” Hélios shouted while hugging me around the waist.Hélios's scent became stronger, always with a woody touch and a hint of aged leather. That same scent calms me and gives me a bit more strength.“Hélios…” I whispered his name and rested my head on his shoulder. “I'm tired… My energy is drained.”“I know, my love.” Hélios said and led me to the bed
Reborn from Ashes Answers
Khalid POVWe opened the door and saw Alex there, he had already tidied up the room, and then Hélios gently placed Sophia on the bed, as if she were the most precious and fragile thing in the world. My heart tightened seeing her so vulnerable. Despite everything we've been through, I still don't know if this will last, if this connection will remain intact when the storm passes.‘What will Sophia think when she wakes up?’ I thought to myself, feeling the weight of that doubt in my chest.I sighed, automatically adjusting my suit, just to keep my hands busy. My eyes turned to Hélios, who now observed Sophia with a serene expression, something rare to see in him. I was still impressed at how someone so explosive and unpredictable could seem so calm at that moment.“No, I didn't know… At least not with 100% certainty, but I already suspected that something like this could happen.” Hélios finally turned to me, after adjusting Sophia better on the sheets. “What woke me up was feeling the b

Khalid POV“You are dismissed… For now.” Azrik spoke after a few seconds, his voice carrying undeniable authority.His expression was one of suspicion, a glimpse of doubt that he couldn't openly express, as, at that moment, he had no concrete proof to support it. Nevertheless, his sharp eyes analyzed every detail, every remnant of truth hidden in the gestures of those present.“Soon, I will contact you regarding the punishment for Alpha Ivar Volkheim and his pack.” Azrik turned to Ivar, his gaze assessing and relentless.“Will she be okay?” Ivar asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.“Yes, she just needs to rest.” It was Aquiles who answered, with the usual calmness that characterized him.“I will analyze the information I obtained from the ritual and about the possible spells Gáta may have cast on Ivar and his pack.” Shangō declared, his tone firm, walking towards Ivar, who bowed in respect to the magnitude of his power.“We will wait.” Hélios replied, making an educated bow,
