I 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

Sophia POVThe two of them raised their heads and bowed briefly to Perseus and Achilles, Andreas' expression that of someone who doesn't know what to do."Relax." "I've never been a fan of this hierarchy stuff." I smiled and then looked at the screen, realizing that it was a plot of land seen from above, some houses had been destroyed, as well as the farms, the road that should come here and also a forest around it.The more I look at those images, the more they seem familiar. It's not as if I've seen this before, but it's a feeling of déjà vu, that I've seen something like this before. I feel Perseus' hand on my back and he smiles."It's probably a side effect of what I saw." He told me. "That must be why it seems so familiar to you."I nodded."If someone else had said something like that to me, I would have laughed," Andreas commented. "But you can see the three of you together. At first, when you came in, I found it strange, but just this little interaction lets you know that you'

Sophia POV"Not that different." I cut him off. "For example, depending on the RPG you pick up, there are wizards, sorcerers, druids, bards and various classes that use magic. One of the things I find coolest is when there are paladins, after all, what's better than walking around with a symbol saying that the God you serve has given you powers? Officially." I smiled. "Anyway... What I mean is that I have a lot of experience in making plans to destroy a city or assassination attempts. At least in theory.""If you carry on like this, Andreas and Lilian will end up losing their post," Achilles said, laughing out loud."Hey!" Andreas said, but he also started laughing, and then took a deep breath. "But your analysis is correct, at least for the most part. Yes, we have some equipment for detecting magic, our scientists took a few years, but they managed to create it... We just don't have that many, because it's not something we like to publicize, and mass-producing equipment like that wou

Sophia POVI slipped my arm through Hyperion's and started walking towards the exit."See you later, we've got lots to do!" I said.I heard a low laugh from Andreas and Lilian, but the aura of my Alpha and Beta was complicated, it showed that they were proud, but also shocked by everything that had happened and the way I think.It shows how much I've evolved, how much I've changed... From the innocent girl to the woman I am now. I had already read that traumatic events are what make us mature more quickly, and this applies to both individuals and the collective.Wars always manage to make technology evolve much faster, whether on the medical or military side.The ride to the elevator was silent."Are you all right, Sophia?" Hyperion asked me."Um... I'm thinking about how I got here." I replied and smiled a little tiredly."Tell me, are you ever going to tell me what happened? Who is responsible for putting you in the hospital?" Hyperion asked sincerely."Yes, because now I know I'm g

Sophia POVAfter a few minutes, Angelica calmed down enough and Hyperion then walked away, but first, he gave her a light kiss on the top of her head and handed her a white handkerchief that he had taken out of his pocket.Angelica then looked at me, turning red, probably ashamed of what had happened, but once again I smiled at her, to reassure her that I didn't judge her any less for expressing herself, but I'm glad I was able to get it off my chest.I hear a knock on the door and soon Hyperion opens it and the smell of meat spreads. I feel my mouth fill with water, Hyperion quickly serves me a plate and I start to eat, forgetting anything else around me.It's just perfect, with every piece of meat I feel stronger and the smell of things becomes more intense, as does the sound of their breathing.I think Hyperion said something to Angelica because I feel her presence disappearing from the meeting room, but I don't raise my head to make sure, I just keep eating. I think there were at

Reborn from Ashes The Ritual Two
Sophia POVAs soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself in a gigantic space, so vast that I couldn't fully comprehend its size. It was as if I were an astronaut seeing the Earth from afar.I realized that as my mind adapted to this new dimension, things began to make sense. Walls of clay appeared, along with various doors and stairs. Many of the doors were already broken, with some pieces still hanging, but many parts had fallen to the floor where the door should have been. I also noticed broken chains.I walked to the nearest door and looked through the space where the door should have been. I noticed green smoke filling the room. I shivered, understanding what it meant—each door represented a creature I should have had, but which was now taken by the Mother of Monsters.My heart tightened as I looked around and saw so many broken doors, so many shattered chains, each representing a part of my soul that had been taken. Sadness began to set in, as many creatures would never see the lig
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

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
