Sophia POV

Alexander 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

  • Reborn from Ashes   Hospitalization

    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

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.

    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

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.

    Sophia POV"And do you realize how wrong that sentence is?" I looked directly at Angelica. "I live in the big city and work as a nurse... Do you know how many times I've had to treat someone precisely because the community they lived in didn't like them? Or because someone walked on the wrong side of the street? I've lost count..."I realize that the two women are uncomfortable."Yeah... Well... I'll probably only stay a couple more days before going to Europe, it'll be nice to go somewhere where I don't need a bodyguard and don't have to be afraid to be who I am." I finished and leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes.

They were both already wearing make-up."The only thing missing is the bag!" I said, standing up and holding my cell phone in my hand."Really! Come on, I'm sure we'll find something in the store!" Angelina said and I smiled."Um... What about my clothes?" I asked, remembering that someone really needed to take my clothes."One of O..."

    Sophia POVDespite his charged and imposing aura, I did not bow, for doing so would mean being afraid… I did just the opposite, I looked into his yellow, almost golden eyes, and whatever happens from now on, I cannot be afraid, for that could bring agony and reveal many secrets.“My name is Azrik Ragnharsen, I am the Elder of the Dragons and Judge of the Council of Races.” The voice of this man is hoarse, low, and has a different timbre than I have ever heard, it even has a strange sophisticated touch. “And you, despite your appearance, you don't seem like an innocent and fearful girl, as I was led to believe.”“That girl was called Naomi Blanchet… I am Sophia Turner, the head nurse at Gillian's Memorial… The Beta of the Moon Warriors pack and the woman who killed some of her enemies point-blank.” I spoke with determination, still holding my head high.It is difficult to identify the emotions on that man's face, but I managed to perceive a slight expression of pride.“Are you in your

    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

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
