"But I want to keep taking lessons with Hyperion!" I said, annoyed, because I wanted to learn more.
"I know, but your mind needs to rest as much as your body... Studying exhausts your mind, too."
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"You're right."
"We're overstimulating you and that's not healthy."
I didn't have to answer, because it makes perfect sense. I always want to learn as quickly as possible, but sometimes things need to slow down. I kept my eyes closed and slowly let myself get tired.
Not that I was completely asleep, because I could feel Achilles walking, as well as some voices in the bac

Sophia POVWe stayed like this for a long time, silence reigned, but it wasn't oppressive, on the contrary, it was welcoming, I was feeling very well, just between these two men, and then the sound of knocks on the door echoed."Come in," Perseus spoke, but without moving away.As soon as the door was opened, I could smell blood and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, knowing that this isn't my feeling, that it's Perseus who doesn't like being in a defensive position,I take my hand in his and hold it, squeezing lightly, and I feel his body and mind relax at the same time."I'm sorry to disturb your moment, but Sophia needs to eat, and it's getting very late," K

Sophia POVI manage to open my eyes and see that he's at the foot of the bed, looking at us intently, his Daemon is in a state of alertness, at the same time as being curious, after all, he can't quite understand what's going on and for someone as old as him, that's a big deal. I also understand that he has a lot of questions for me, but he doesn't want to risk it just yet."I'm going out now, to try and be back by sunrise at the latest, only you three need to behave," Khalid said and smiled mischievously.I let out a low laugh."Ideally, you should sleep in separate rooms, but I don't think Sophia will want that, or rather, I don't think the link will keep you apart. Just be careful." Khalid."Got it," Achilles

Sophia POV'I'm looking out of the window, the city below is starting to wake up, and I feel trapped in this place, I can hardly leave the apartment anymore... Not even accompanied. If I wanted to exercise, there was the gym, if I wanted to swim, there was the indoor pool, if I wanted to read, there was the library...The supplies were always brought in the morning by one of the security guards who always stayed with me. I took a deep breath, feeling that sense of no longer belonging, of being just another prisoner...I'd stopped studying in person, so now all I had left were online classes, and I didn't have any friends. They're a distant memory, even more so because I've moved cities.I leaned my head against the glass, a pa

Sophia POVI took a deep breath, gathered my courage and opened my eyes, but I had to blink several times for my gaze to focus. I can see a red liquid spread across the floor and I can smell iron, I look at my hands and blood is running down them, I shake my head slightly and see that the liquid is coming from cuts made on my arms."I'm going to give you a saline solution, so you can wash your arms." The male voice spoke, and I cringed as soon as I saw the shadow of his hand approaching, but he left the bottle of saline in front of me and then walked away. "You need to clean your arms, otherwise they might inflame."I reached out and took the glass, and I can feel the pain start to radiate through my muscles. I let out a low groan, but I started to clean the wounds, most of them were already closed, bu

Sophia POV"There's no right answer." Lucca approached, and I held out my arm, he began to remove the bandage and blood quickly began to drip onto the sink."When I woke up in the hospital, I was glad that many of the memories had been erased, although I knew what had happened, the acts themselves I didn't remember, not so vividly... As time went by, it became even more vague... The drugs helped me not to dream, and the treatment helped me to come back to reality." I began to speak, feeling the sting of the saline being put in and then the area of the cuts being disinfected. "But... This is the second time it's happened... My dream, or rather nightmare, is very vivid, it's a memory...""What do you think it could be?" Lucca asked and began to place the bars on either side, pulling the skin together, an

Achilles POV My heart is beating too fast, my breathing is quickening and even though I'm trying to take deep breaths, the anxiety is still too powerful. I'm making a gigantic effort to shut off my senses so that I don't hear what's being said in that bathroom. The fright that Perseus and I got when we felt Sophia get up and the sense of guilt and anger that emanated from her was terrifying... Even more so the image of her hurting herself, even though I hadn't seen her nightmare, Perseus and I could feel it as intensely as she did. The feeling of being violated and just wanting to get rid of any trace of yourself. Fighting these feelings and trying to hold her back wasn't easy, but this struggle only caused more damage to all of us. I realized that neither Perseus nor I were going to be able to hel

Perseus POVNo, it's not easy... Seeing Sophia relax in someone else's arms, even if it's Achilles, is not a very good feeling. The jealousy grows exponentially, even if I know why, even if I see her improving, my heart still aches.It's as if my world is getting a little darker, as if Helios isn't shining so brightly... I've never felt like this.Lucca and Sophia's words seem to make sense, but I don't understand, I've never been one to study this part, but I know I can believe what they're saying."If it's a transplant..." Achilles' voice echoed. "And the person is still alive...""Then that means we'll need to find that person to finalize the Mark ritual," Lucca added.

Breakfast 2Sophia POVThis rollercoaster of feelings is a nightmare in itself, realizing how much it affects Perseus makes me sad, things should get better, but they're going to get much worse before that happens.I start to eat, sitting next to Perseus, Hyperion is talking about what happened in the attack, and it seems that Andreas has some things to say, apparently the attack was serious, I still don't understand the details, but I know that Perseus will deal with it in the best possible way."Hmm..." I take a piece of chocolate cake and bite into it, then take a sip of orange juice. Governing isn't simple, I know that managing the nurses in a hospital is challenging enough, imagine an entire city, because that's basically where I am now and it's my new position. "Do you have anything to say about that?" Achilles asked, and I turned my face away briefly."I think if this is an ambush, which it must be... Then we should keep up appearances and pretend we're not paying attention an

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
Reborn from Ashes The Trial Three
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
