Khalid POV

Staying away from Sophia was a relief, because then I wouldn't be tempted and I could get my feelings in order. I didn't talk to anyone about it, because I didn't trust anyone to keep such a secret.

Of course, my Daemon didn't let it get any easier, as he always put images in my mind and when I slept, he decided to leave me with sexual and romantic dreams about Sophia, but after a few days, he calmed down when he realized that I was serious about putting all this behind me.

I focused my attention on the pack's security network, the upgrade of the computers and the spy center was successful and now operates without any problems. With a little spell to reveal the truth, we were able to select only the most loyal to the pack.

With that, it became clear who the Black Moon pack's spies were infiltrating. As Sophia said, it was better to keep them alive, so that the false information we wanted to pass on would be much more widespread.

Although I have my own team of spies, I'm not

    Sophia POVFinally, one of the most awaited days is happening. The day has dawned full of festivities and I can feel something different in the air, all this joy is contagious and I see all the employees smiling, talking and joking more.I'm happy that something like this is possible and that many have opened their eyes to the fact that previous thinking was archaic and that accepting the new isn't a bad thing. Of course, I know there are a few protests going on, but they are tiny compared to the festivities.I had ordered a wonderful dress, it has a V-neckline, but with a corset to support my breasts and make them more contoured, with slightly thicker straps, a small ribbon around the waist and a pinker skirt with an opening on the left leg. What's most striking is the print, which is in the watercolor style with the colors of the rainbow.I asked them to do a very colorful make-up on my face, adding glitter to bring out the colors and make it look very festive. Hyperion had selected

    Sophia POVI can feel the pressure of the auras increasing as I get closer to the party room, Alex is by my side and that makes me feel calmer, because I know that if necessary he'll use his skills to help me during this party. I know it won't be a problem if I leave before then, but I have to stay until the scheduled time for Achilles to pass out. I took a deep breath before entering the room, the doors are closed, precisely to contain the auras of the people there, the food and drinks were already inside.'It's going to be all right.' I heard Perseus' voice in my mind.Surely they must sense how nervous I am, I smiled more calmly, happy for this little message. It's very difficult for my mates to do something like this, precisely because we expend a lot of energy, since I'm not connected to the pack and I don't what they call mentally message with the others, just and only with them and it's very rare.'Thank you.' I replied, concentrating on sending that message.I can feel an eve

    Sophia POVI could hear people stirring, many were calling for the doctor and there was already a team there, including Dr. Ioannidis who was leading the way. Lucca laid me down on the floor carefully, while I relaxed more, letting my breaths become longer.I think someone could give me an Oscar for my performance, but it's a good thing the doctor already knew about our plan. Precisely because my breathing was slower, I knew that my heartbeat was too, I had practiced this since the plan to make Achilles faint was made."NOW!" I hear Hayden's shout.I can feel the gigantic increase in auras, at the same time as the noise of transformation and the sound of fighting spread."Hayden!" Lucca called out, as his aura increased, trying to make a bubble around me.This time my breathing really started to get heavier, as I struggled to open my eyes, then the taste of blood invaded my mouth and I swallowed, knowing it was the blood of Achilles and Perseus.This gave me the strength to stand up a

I see him looking at me with the same desire as mine.It's getting harder and harder not to show it whenever we're in the same environment, which happens a lot, and yet people have noticed that Perseus and I are getting closer.I can hear the whispers, feel the emotions of those around us and many are happy about this, because it means that the pack is stronger, the greater the bond between Alpha and Beta, the stronger we are.As soon as we get on the electric trio I notice all eyes turning to us, the cameras, the reporters and the whole crowd.

  • Reborn from Ashes    Electric Trio Two

    Perseus POVIt's getting increasingly difficult to resist the urge to wrap Sophia in my arms and take her... Just as it’s becoming harder to ignore the attraction I feel towards Achilles. This desire only grows stronger, and a large part of me doesn't want to fight it.It’s as if I want to blow everything up and simply mark them both, to show the world that I have two mates and that nothing else matters. I stopped for a few seconds near the elevator door, taking deep breaths to control these instincts.It took me a few moments to finally extinguish that flame in my heart, and I put on a serious expression as we walked towards the place where the electric trio will be. I see people giving us a brief bow, and many are happy.This feeling is very good because I know I’m on the right path for the changes the pack needs, even though there are some who still haven’t accepted it. Those voices will be heard, but any physical, mental, or social attack will be met with firmness and justice.We’

    Note: This chapter returns to normal time.Alex POVI always knew Sophia was strong, but I couldn't have imagined it at the level I saw. The way she used Boreas' ability to manipulate her emotions and let out only what she wanted.I was fooled, as soon as I felt her fear so palpable, it almost made me turn and advance against the enemies, but her gaze was direct and it was the only thing that made me stop and trust her.I won't deny the shock I felt when I saw her raise a firearm and shoot Hayden. No one expected anything like that and in the next movement to kill two more enemies, the aura she exuded was intense, as she stood with her head held high, shoulders straight, a regal posture.At that moment it became clear that she was a true Luna, there is a respect that spreads through everyone who is present and I feel that respect spreading through the pack, everyone who was watching the news knew not to mess with Sophia.The woman has many tricks and she will use them to win her battles

    Sophia's POVI blinked a few times, trying to make sense of something. My head was spinning, and at the same time, I could hear voices in the background, agitated, but I couldn’t understand what was being said. My body ached, especially my chest, there was a weight that felt different, something that made me feel sick. My breathing became labored, and I let out a low groan. I tried to bring my hand to my chest to see if I could remove that weight.A part of me knew that this was an irrational action, that this weight wasn’t something physical that I could grasp, but still... I simply didn’t know if I could continue carrying such a thing. I’m not someone who cries, but I could feel tears starting to run down the corners of my eyes because I had no control over my actions. It was so hard to move, to breathe, and I couldn’t even open my eyes.It was terrifying because the voices grew louder, and I needed to understand what was being said. Instinctively, I knew it was about me, and if the

    Khalid POVFeelings are treacherous. I always believed I had absolute control over them, that I could keep them at bay, like a hunter observing prey without ever getting caught. I was wrong. I never thought that, after so long, I could still be shaken by someone. Especially by a human. But Sophia is not just any human. From the first moment I saw her, I sensed something different about her, something that sparked in me a curiosity bordering on obsession. At first, it was just that: curiosity. How could a human be destined for two powerful Lycans like Perseus and Achilles? How could she survive this fate without succumbing to the weight she carried?But over time, that curiosity evolved into something more, something I should never have allowed to grow. And then, seeing her succumb to the curse, a tightness gripped my chest, bringing forth a despair I thought I had overcome centuries ago. I, who have lived so many lives, who have witnessed countless tragedies and triumphs, never imagin

    Sophia POVThe witch looked me up and down, evaluating me, and I know she is trying to read my soul, but I am too complex for that to be easy. In this incarnation, I am just a human, which makes it even more difficult to discover my true identity as a Chimera. Her penetrating gaze seemed to scrutinize every layer of my existence, trying to find some hidden clue, something that would reveal what I really am. But she wouldn't be able to. I spent years hiding, rebuilding who I am, and it wouldn't be that simple to unravel me.“You have a very strong magic in your body.” The witch informed me, her voice filled with a certainty that made me shiver. “When you underwent the recovery surgeries, an entire coven cast a very strong spell so that you would not be found or even recognized by Ivar Volkheim… But, with Gáta's help, that spell weakened, and he managed to find you.”Shangō Furen declared, and I noticed in her expression that she was impressed by the situation.

  • Reborn from Ashes   Distorted Memories Three

    Sophia POVThe woman had long silver hair that seemed to float, as if there was a breeze. Her eyes, glowing like blue embers, carried a weight I had never seen before, as if she were very ancient, as if she had witnessed entire eras rise and fall. Her face was sculpted with refined features, beautiful and impenetrable, but her expression was a confusing mix of emotions: anger, sadness, shock, and some others I couldn't identify, something deep and immortal, as if her soul carried scars that time couldn't erase.Her black robes flowed around her slender body, adorned with golden embroidery that sparkled in the light, like lightning illuminating details in a stormy sky. There was something mesmerizing about the way the fabric moved, as if it were alive, responding to the energy that vibrated in the air around her. In her steady hands, a staff shimmered with bluish sparks, small lightning bolts snaking its surface like living creatures, pulsing with ancient magic.But even with so much p

    Sophia POVMy eyes blinked repeatedly as a wave of pain coursed through my body, as if sharp blades were piercing my skin without mercy. However, the worst pain was in my head. Fragments of disconnected memories mixed, strange names echoed in my mind, forming a chaotic whirlwind of thoughts.With great effort, I forced myself to get up. My body protested with every movement, but I knew I couldn't afford to stay still. Time wouldn't wait for me, and neither would he. I should have already prepared breakfast, and the punishment for my failure would come, inevitably. However, if lunch was perfect, maybe he would show some clemency. Maybe the pain would be less.I dragged myself to the closet, each step a reminder of my fragile state. I chose a white dress with long sleeves, the fabric covering every inch of my marked skin. The neckline was modest, and the skirt extended to my feet. I made sure to arrange my hair in a side braid, resting over my right shoulder, exactly as he had taught me

  • Reborn from Ashes   The Trial Four

    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

    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

    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
