Sophia POVI was one of the last to get on the helicopter, my mood right now is not one of the best, but that didn't mean I would be rude and I greeted everyone briefly with a nod and then I took the tablet to do the last checks.Basically the Houroux family had brought in their own doctor to supervise the transport and also check all the information.Too much ego fighting for my taste, the doctors at the hospital thinking it was absurd to be supervised by an outsider, while the family doctor started pointing out mistakes that weren't mistakes at all, as he seemed to have information about the physical condition that we didn't. we had access.To avoid a confrontation I just went to my house, packed a small suitcase, when I got back the chaos was almost over as it was time to leave. My date with Joshua wasn't the best thing about my day either and in the end we ended up wrapping up something that hadn't even started to get serious.When Dr. John Ioannidis started to say something about
Sophia POVAlexander spoke and started walking toward a corridor that was on the right side, I followed him unhurriedly, with my hands in my pockets. We stopped in front of room 803, he took a card from his pocket, opened the door and handed me the card.I went into my room, it was quite large, almost the size of my living room, the whole room was decorated in glass and black wood supports, while the floor had a light gray marble and under the king size bed there was a rug in darker grey. With minimalist and modern touches, were the other rooms the same? Because it looked like that place had been decorated for me, the colors were what I liked the most and I didn't like anything fancy. To say that I liked my room was an understatement, I was loving it. On the left side there were two doors, probably one for the closet and one for the bathroom.“Thank you, you are excused.”I told him and turned to watch him leave."Sophia... It's not that I..." I noticed that Alexander was watching me
Sophia POVWhen I finished I went to my suitcase, grabbed the towel, wiped my face, took a sip of water and stretched, cracking some bones, to finish relaxing my muscles. Now all she needed was a good shower and she would be ready for the next step. I took out my cell phone and started looking at group messages.When I started to answer one of them I felt a gaze directed at me and the characteristic smell of Achilles permeate the room, I know I got tense... I closed my eyes, shuddering, I don't know why, but I want to turn around and just throw myself in his arms of that man.“Heavens! I need to get laid!”I thought and shook my head, I had no problem screwing guys I just met, but that same feeling I have that I need Achilles is what's going to keep me away from him. I don't know what would happen to me if I let those instincts take over. But… My body doesn't want to do what my mind does, because I turned and looked into that man's eyes and it was like everything else lost color and t
Sophia POVI woke up feeling my body sore, my muscles had probably tensed while I was passed out. My mouth is dry and my head is pounding. It's like a hangover, only much worse. I hated it when that happened and it had been so many years since I'd had a seizure.It seems that meeting the Houroux had brought a lot to light and attacks that I haven't had for years would now occur frequently, panic, fear, anxiety… I don't want this for myself, I need to go back. Coming here was a bad idea.“I want to leave…” I said, my voice hoarse and dry, but I know he heard me.I open my eyes and blink a few times getting used to the white light of the hospital room.“Miss Turner… I'm sorry… It's my fault.” Hyperion's voice is filled with guilt."I just... I want to leave, as soon as possible." I spoke again and sat up and saw Hyperion handing me a glass of water. He looks much older now, there are black circles under his eye.“How long was I unconscious?” I asked and finally realized I'm wearing the
Sophia POVI took a deep breath, twisting my mouth, and then handed him the handle of my suitcase. Do I really want to talk to Perseus and Hyperion? I honestly don't know... I hadn't said yes or no...Thinking about leaving... Going back to my friends, to my life... I can feel a metallic taste in my mouth. This is very strange, I'm having a physical reaction to a thought that could benefit me. My unconscious wants to stay here? Why?Alex grabbed the handle of his suitcase and started walking. I followed a little behind him. Trying to come up with explanations for my reactions. It was a complicated spiral. How long have I been displaying negative actions? I can't answer that precisely... I need a session with my psychiatrist.Soon we were in the car heading towards the building I was staying in, I took out my cell phone and texted the psychiatrist asking for an urgent session, she accepted, and now I just needed to get to the room to make the call to her. Meanwhile, I could feel my anx
I grabbed my wallet and cell phone, they were the only things I needed, everything else I could buy. I walked towards and opened the door and looked over to see Alex standing there."Come on, we've got shopping to do!" I said smiling, wrapping my arm around his right arm, "I have to buy some new clothes and go to a make-up salon!" I started walking, pulling Alex, who was a little dazed. "Quick answer, I'm going to be here for a few days, enjoying my vacation... Which means I have to buy presents, clothes, make-up, hire a tour guide and lots of other things.""Um... But... Are you okay? Can you drink?" Alex asked, stopping in the middle of the corridor and looking at my face seriously."Well, that's a difficult question... No, I'm not fine, but I intend to stay... Which means I'm going to take my psychiatrist's suggestion and stop thinking too much about things and enjoy my well-deserved vacation, which I haven't taken in years." I answered as best I could at the time. "But that means
Sophia POVI know Alex wants to talk to me, but I'm ignoring him, not giving him a chance to speak. I entered the mall. It was huge, with several floors and all kinds of stores, but the first thing I did was go to one of the dessert kiosks and grab a strawberry sundae with extra chocolate topping.I started eating as I walked past the stores. The club opened at 10 p.m., so I had a few hours to get ready. I need to buy my clothes first. I already know what I want to wear and what my makeup is going to look like. If I was with my friends, it would be easier, but here I needed to find my clothes first, then a place to change and do my makeup. The perfume isn't what I really like, but it will be easier to find something similar... So, let's go shopping.The first step was to go to a store with clothes for
Sophia POV Angelica leads the way, showing us the way, we arrive at the back of that gigantic store, and there's an elevator in front of us, Angelica presses the button, and we enter, there's a very large mirror at the back and I see my appearance again. There are still black circles around my eyes, but I don't look so tired anymore, I have to say, Angelica did a great job on me, even though I was wearing very basic clothes. Alex is a little behind, his expression is solemn, he's understood that I don't want to talk, and I give him a little smile. Alex isn't a guy to throw away, but he certainly has a lot of women who want him... I took a deep breath and instinctively moved my hand to my stomach, feeling that twinge of nausea. If I didn't know myself well enough and hadn't spent two days in hospita
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
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
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
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
Perseus POVI woke up anxious, I know I dreamed about Sophia, Achilles, and me... But something was different, I just couldn't remember what it was, but I knew I didn't like the change, it made me even more nervous.Maybe it's the fear that today might be my last day with Sophia as my companion, tomorrow at midnight, the rejection ritual will be performed, but we won't be able to spend much time together, because Khalid and Gáta need to finish making the runes on my body and Achilles'.They explained that there are some runes that will be stronger if they are new, that's why we chose tomorrow to do them... But that takes time away from being with Sophia, and heavens! How I want to spend these last hours with her and in these moments I wished I wasn't an Alpha, but I can't abandon my duty, especially since the pack still doesn't know about our plans.But, honestly? I'm not able to concentrate, until I feel small sparks in my right hand and I turn my head, seeing Achilles next to me, I
Perseus POVI am tired. After several meetings and many discussions, I finally manage to get to the room. As I approach, I can smell the characteristic scent of vampire blood. I can already feel the hair on my arms standing up; it's been a while since he last appeared in my room.I don't like this, and I can feel the hair on my arms and neck standing up, while my blood heats up. These are clear signs that jealousy is starting to take over.I took a deep breath, remembering Sophia's lips on mine, the warmth of her body against my hands, and the scent of her arousal invading my nose... All of this because she was with me, and I remembered her voice saying she loved me.I paused for two seconds before opening the door to the room. I found Sophia close to Khalid, holding his cell phone and looking at something. Whatever it was, it was making her happy, as her smile was unmistakable. The two were alone in the room, with no sign of Alexander nearby.My mate raised her head, and her smile wi
