Breakfast 2

Sophia POV

This 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

  • Reborn from Ashes   Venting and acceptance

    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   Second chance?

    Achilles POV"What happened?" I asked without understanding anything, but more relieved that Sophia was stabilized."I felt a very different aura coming from here, and I came as fast as I could," Khalid explained. "Alexander stayed in my lab, as soon as the results come back he'll let me know, but honestly? I don't think we need to wait that long."Khalid approached the bed."Better not clean it and let all the blood be absolved." Khalid sighed. "I felt a very strong magical aura coming from the room, you may not have noticed it, but it was certainly emanating from Sophia. What happened?""She told the story of when she met a man and sure enough, he was her fated mate... She even said that he smelled delicious." Perseus summarized."So, remember the theory about Sophia having a witch's organ? I think that's it, I don't know if it was deliberate or not. The human world is different and since I haven't been able to find out where her surgery took place, there's no way I can investigate

    KhalidWhen I took this job, I was curious about how it was possible for werewolves to have more than one mate. I'm very old, and I've seen it happen with other races, and they were usually extremely strong races.The last time I recall this happening with werewolves was with one of the ancient Kings, who was a Lycan. He was the last Lycan alive... He reigned for a long time and was murdered by his peers who were jealous of his power. When he lost his mates, he gave up on his will to live and became vulnerable. He was easily defeated.There are stories in my library about dragons having more than one mate, but now they're practically extinct. The possibility of Sophia being a dragon is non-existent, and so I looked for other options.Each possibility is just as extraordinary as the last. Feeling her aura, practically a hammer blow to the transplant theory... But there's another one, which is much worse, and I don’t think that they're prepared to deal with it.My instincts are that Sop

  • Reborn from Ashes   One conversation, one request

    Khalid - Three days laterSomething unexpected has happened. Both Perseus and Achilles have gone into hibernation with Sophia.The intensity of their energy transfer has increased significantly, causing Sophia's weakness to interfere with their bodies.Even though Alexander brought the results from the lab, the information was inconclusive. There was a very strong interference with Sophia's blood, which caused even my very high-tech and magical lab to not be able to identify her DNA and give a more in depth analysis. Another indication leaning towards the theory that a curse has been placed on Sophia. Another side effect is that Alexander's aura has grown as well, which makes sense due to the fact that he is Luna's Gamma in the pack and that it is his duty to protect her.Due to Alexander being connected to all three in different capacities, he's still benefiting from the situation. Seeing as Sophia is in hibernation, it would be obvious that Alexander's power would increase to ensur

  • Reborn from Ashes   In the middle of the road

    Sophia POVI'm in a different and strange place.. I don't understand and I can't make sense of it... I know it's not natural, or at least, I don't think it is... It could possibly just be my imagination. My logic tells me that I'm in a coma.I know that there are several reports of supernatural encounters while in this state, but to me, it always seemed to be the imagination of someone who wants to give meaning to something we can't explain.The difference is that now I know that Gods and supernatural creatures and beings exist. This is causing a war in my mind as my rational self and the atheist part of me doesn't want to accept this fact so easily. I am finding it more and more undeniable the longer I'm here. I feel myself drifting to a very far and distant place, my body growing colder the further I go. I know that I will reach a place where I will no longer be able to turn back.It's tiring to keep fighting because I've already suffered so much and this whole situation with Ac

  • Reborn from Ashes   Distorted Memories Two

    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

  • 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

  • Reborn from Ashes   The trial two

    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

  • Reborn from Ashes   The Trial 1

    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

    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
