Sophia POVI can already feel my stomach starting to complain of hunger, and I let out a low laugh, putting my hand on my stomach. When I come out of the bathroom, I can smell Perseus before I even see him and I smile happily as soon as I see him, the lighting thrown against his perfect face making my heart beat a little harder.Our gazes meet, and I'm sure he's happy to see me too. I notice his eyes getting a little darker and I bite my lower lip in the left corner because I want him to."Sophia..." Perseus says my name in a husky tone that makes me shudder and immediately sets me on fire.My nipples harden, and I know I'm getting wet. How is that possible? Just my name in his mouth is capable of making me like this, imagine when he touches me..."Perseus," I call him in a lower tone, opening my lips slightly, while my mind starts to have more sinful ideas and I don't even know if I'll be able to stop imagining that man enveloping me.Like a flash, Perseus now stands in front of me a
Sophia POV"I can help with that." I heard Khalid's voice and felt my two men tense up. "It won't end completely, but it will be easier if you control yourselves.""No!" Perseus was the first to reply, and I grabbed his shirt."How? How can you help?" I asked, still keeping my head against Perseus' chest, feeling my Alpha tense up even more."The blood... I can control some impulses." Khalid said.This is dangerous, I know it... Nobody needs to tell me that the more influence Khalid has over me, the worse it could be in the future. I listened to what Hyperion said, and I listened to Khalid's words, but could I trust him to that extent?"No... I don't want to." I replied, and Perseus relaxed. "Boreas and Achilles can control other people's emotions. I prefer to depend on him."Achilles kissed my head and let out a low laugh."Very few people have managed to figure that out so far." He whispered."It's not the first time you've used it on me or Perseus. I see you do it all the time with
Sophia POVI arrived at Hyperion's office. It's a medium-sized office, with a glass meeting table in the center, while on the other side, there's another table with a glass top, but the front is made of black metal, on the floor there's a black carpet with a full moon in silver, on the right side there are several bookshelves and on the other side there are transparent windows, but they're covered with insulin, so the sun doesn't get too intense in there."Welcome Sophia." Hyperion lifted his face from the computer. "Today I'm going to start with the basics, teaching you about the differences in titles."He stood up, and then I saw a handout in his hands."Here's a lot of information, separated by lessons." He began to explain."Just like at school." I held out my hand and took the booklet. I started leafing through it and saw some pictures, as well as symbols, and some titles, but I didn't stop to pay attention to anything."Open to chapter five," Hyperion asked me, and I answered.'
Sophia POV"It seems like everything is complicated, and we don't know much." I said and looked at Hyperion again. "So at least I want to focus on what I can learn and improve. I imagine you're going to try to find out what it is, just like Hyperion... If there's anything I can do to help, then I will, but as things stand I can't help at all." I tapped the booklet lightly. "I'll study more about how things work."So the morning passed and it was already lunchtime. Hyperion was a good teacher, any questions I had he answered straight away and if I didn't understand at first, he found another analogy, which is much better than many teachers I've seen.At the end of the lesson, I took the workbook to Achilles' room and didn't have any different encounters. I thought it would be a quiet day, but I think I'm being too op
Achilles POVSophia's way is very similar to mine, she questions everything and I like that, I like to see how active she is, and, of course, to see and feel how others react to her... The difference is that Sophia is more open than I am.As soon as we'd finished lunch, I saw that Perseus was very upset and that Helios was agitated, so before we left for training, it would be better if Sophia and Perseus spent some time together, so I made an excuse, and we went up to the penthouse.The surrounding air became heavier as we got closer to my room and as soon as I closed the door, Perseus wrapped Sophia's body around his, holding her by the waist with some strength, her body trembling slightly, but the woman just let herself go.She knows that Perseus needs th
Achilles POV"You forget that the bond is also between the two of you!" Hyperion spoke up. "You'll have to mark yourselves too! If you've accepted Sophia as being meant for you, then you must also accept each other! Which means you'll be attracted to each other."Sophia calmed down and pulled away."What happens now?" Her voice is shaky."My blood can block their scent on you." Khalid's voice echoed, and I turned my face to see him leaning against the wall, arms crossed. "If you take one drop a day, then the three of you can play, as long as there are no marks.""Without them having control, it won't work!" Hyperion turned into the vampire."That's not my problem!" K
Sophia POVThis rollercoaster of emotions is complicated to deal with, even more so for someone like me who has never been very stable and so used to taking medication, only now I can't take them and I need to get used to these drastic changes.I'm stroking Helios' fur and I feel so good, and that fear I have of Perseus seems to disappear. It's strange, I'm not afraid of Helios, even though I know he's just as explosive as Perseus."I think I know how to keep our relationship going and also to keep us together. When night comes, Helios can sleep with us instead of Perseus. One day it will be Helios and the next Boreas." Achilles' voice rang out.That sounds like a very valid answer to our problem."That'll work!
Sophia POVOf course, I've trained before, so I know the moves, and I'm certainly much happier when I hit the sandbag, it's always a good way to release anger and tension.I didn't think I needed it so much, but as soon as I started hitting the sandbag everything became lighter, and I increased the force with each blow, feeling the impact it had on my hand, my wrist and even my arm.I can see that I'm a lot stronger than usual by the way the sandbag deforms with each blow. After a few minutes I start alternating between punches and kicks, but I also first test how hard and how high I can kick, without doing anything too extravagant.The only thing missing is some music. After all, training without music is a bit boring, but I know it can distract me, so, fo
Alex POVSince Sophia woke up and we had that revealing conversation, where I could see that she truly accepted who she was and what was happening, the balance between us began to flow more easily. I feel my wolf strengthening every day, and I realize I had never considered humans the way Sophia described. It makes perfect sense, as almost every race I have known or heard of has a human counterpart. Humans are incredibly versatile, which gives me confidence that Sophia will survive the rejection ritual.I'm not sure how much damage it will cause her and her companions, my Alpha and Beta, but I have faith that they will recover. And, honestly? Even after the rejection ritual, I will never abandon Sophia. I will always be her Gamma, her protector. Unlike Perseus and Achilles, my function is to protect my Luna from her own companions if necessary.This function did not arise by chance. For a long time, Alphas imprisoned their Lunas so that they would not be "tainted" with inappropriate t
Sophia's POVI woke up some time ago. Perseus and Achilles were not by my side, but that didn't worry me because Alex was in the room. Unlike before, I'm not tired, I don't feel any pain, and my mind is clearer than ever.At this moment, I am looking out the window, observing the buildings below and the movement of the people. I've done this a few times because it's interesting to know that there are people who have no idea what's happening, that the world is changing, and that there are people protecting them so they don't get hurt.I closed my eyes and let the sunrays warm me. I am at peace and have accepted my destiny. Knowing what I am is very different from being in the dark. No matter how complicated things are, I have a definitive answer about what I am."Sophia, are you okay?" I heard Alex's voice behind me.I smiled and turned around, putting my hands in my pockets."Yes, I am." I replied."You're different." Alex added."I know, but it makes sense. Now I know what I am. I al
Sophia's POVI blinked several times, feeling my body aching, especially above my heart, it was a sensation as if there was a weight on it trying to crush me. I took deep breaths several times, trying to block out the pain.It wasn't easy to do this, because the sensation changed to feeling like a hand was wrapping around my heart and starting to squeeze, wanting to explode it. The force used was extreme, but I wasn't going to give up so easily.Then I felt another hand on top of mine, and gradually the pain disappeared, and I could breathe better. Finally, I could fully open my eyes and saw that Alex was by my side. It was he who helped me overcome this challenge."Are you feeling better, Luna?" Alex asked, concerned.I rolled my eyes at him calling me by my title."I've told you that you can call me Sophia." I replied and saw him smile.Honestly? If I wasn't hopelessly in love with Perseus and Achilles, I would definitely have gotten closer to Alex."If you're smiling like that and
Aquiles' POVAs soon as everyone left, Soph's body relaxed, she had fallen asleep. Even after so many revelations and knowing that she is a being completely different from any other, she is still weak. Perhaps in this incarnation she is human, which is why she is so fragile.I stepped back and let Perseus put her to bed. I took a deep breath, knowing that my conversation with him would not be pleasant, but I wanted to do it now, in this place, because I knew he would have to control himself or it could affect Soph."Perseus, you need to take care of yourself... Deal with this jealousy you feel." I spoke in a normal tone, without letting my aura grow.I saw him close his eyes and his hands tremble as he stood up to look at me."I can't be as cold as you!" Perseus said through gritted teeth, moving away from Soph. "How can you be like this? Didn't you see the way they looked at each other?"I took a deep breath; Perseus seemed like a child, and this was becoming unbearable. Soph wouldn'
Khalid's POVThese past few days have not been easy, especially after I confessed my feelings to Hyperion. However, he knows I didn't act on them, and that's what kept me in the pack. Moreover, I made a blood promise not to interfere with the bond of fate, even after they reject each other. There's little chance this promise will be broken, and I doubt I have any chance at all.Part of me wishes for an opportunity to get closer to Sophia, to feel her in my arms. But my code of honor will never allow that part to take over. As punishment, Hyperion asked me to stay away from Sophia and only approach her when absolutely necessary. He reminded me that I have many duties to fulfill within the pack.That's how I spent the last two days, never getting close to the room, always following Hyperion's orders and also preparing the protective runes that would be placed on Perseus and Achilles, as we don't want the curse to spread any further.Gata is even more suspicious about what's going on wit
Sophia POV"From what you yourself have told and written, you were one of the first creations of the Mother of Monsters, a way to dominate and surpass other races. A creation to be one of the most powerful weapons of this Ancient." Isak began to explain. "The Ancient Gods were losing that battle, so they united to create the curse and imprisoned the Mother of Monsters within you, because as the first Chimera to be created, you have the ability to absolve the new creatures that would emerge and be created by the New Gods."Isak took a deep breath, with a touch of sadness."The problem is that the Mother of Monsters is very powerful and found a loophole in the curse to free herself. Despite you being countless different creatures, you can be killed." Isak turned his face and looked out the window, surely remembering something. "Over the ages, a creature would die. The energy of the Mother of Monsters would spread to those around, corrupting them... You were hunted many times, and each t
Sophia POVThere's something different in the air, I still can't figure out exactly what... But I'm absolutely sure it has to do with this man's appearance.If 1% of what I know about Miskatonic University and the Ancient myths is true, then we're doomed... Which makes me even more suspicious of this man, because it means that there are cultists out there...People who want to free the Ancients and who are involved with twisted, “ profane” magics that are far more powerful than Gáta can ever access.My eyes met Khalid's and it was a silent conversation, he understands me, more than Perseus and Achilles, at least as far as this situation is concerned. I know that your Daemon is extremely powerful and very old. This knowledge is not because I drank his blood, because I know that I am no longer bonded to him...This silent conversation has to do with our way of thinking, with our ability to see the dark side of people and situations, with our difficulty in fully trusting someone. Khalid
Note: In the previous chapter, there was an error in the translation.The correct phrase to introduce Isak is: “It was my fault.” The man replied. “My name is Isak Petrov, I'm the Dean of Miskatonic University.”Perseus POVI clench my other hand tightly, because I can't stand to see the way Khalid and Sophia get along, I know it's stupid of me, but I'm trying to control this jealousy and as if that wasn't enough... Khalid is now very close to my father too.The two of them had a meeting the day Sophia went back to sleep and after that they seem to have become even closer...I can't understand how everyone is involved with this vampire, his charm doesn't appeal to me and I simply can't accept him. As soon as he gave me that stupid order, I rolled my eyes.“It's not something I can do...” I said through my teeth.“Just because you've never tried it before... Helios' ability is gigantic, just like the Sun... He can burn to purify or burn to destroy. All you have to do is concentrate on
Achilles POVIt's been two days since Sophia went back to sleep, and honestly, I'm scared to death that she won't survive the ritual... There are so few days until the full moon... My heart squeezes just imagining something like this happening.I know we have to do this ritual, but it's not something I want to do, because I want to stay connected to Sophia in every way possible. I just wanted to find a way to control this curse.I saw what it caused... I watched the videos of the attack Perseus and I made, it was a massacre and the howls and screams of the enemies make me shudder to this day. I know it was real, but for me it was nothing like that, I simply wanted to kill everyone who was a danger to my pack and my mates.I even had to give a short interview and that's exactly what I said live. As well as explaining that Sophia is sleeping once again, since what happened at the Gay Parade was very intense.I realized that many people were afraid of me and Perseus... But they respected
