I 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

Reborn from Ashes I know who I am 1
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

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. "I wanted make-up that matches my outfit."I know the mood has become heavy, but that's basically it, I may not be the best of people, but I can't stand

Sophia POVJust as Alex was about to say something, the door opened, and the two women came in, they were dressed for the evening, Angela wearing a dark blue tube dress with some red rhinestones outlining her breasts, which went down to her waist on the left side and encircled her entire waist.Caroline was already wearing a dark pink top with purple details, a high-waisted white skirt that went down to mid-thigh and purple sandals with scales. 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..." Caroline started to speak but stopped and looked at Alex."She means that one of the servants is going to come and get your clothes," Alex replied, and I knew Caroline was going to say another word.But I kept q

Sophia POV"Let's see the cabin, girls!" I said excitedly and walked straight to the stairs and saw that there was another guard there, and this time I didn't have to speak because he quickly moved away. Room 13 was very interesting, with three sofas, two puffs, a table, a minibar and a balcony where you could see the whole dance floor. I threw my bag on one of the sofas and went straight to the balcony.I leaned forward with my hands resting on the edge of the balcony and watched as people started to come in, the music was already playing, something soft at the moment, and I closed my eyes, enjoying the situation.I only opened my eyes when I heard the door opening and the sound of several people coming in, I turned around, still leaning against the balcony and smiled, six new people had arrived, and they seemed to be couples.The way they looked at each other was something I'd seen in very few couples, they loved each other and I smiled, it was so beautiful to see because couples di

Sophia POVAs I was leaving the dance floor, I saw that Alex was standing by the stairs with his arms crossed, he looked worried... I was surprised by his expression, but I went to get another drink, and then I felt someone grab my arm and I shuddered.I knew that things could get out of hand very quickly, so I pulled my arm away and pushed the person who had held me without my permission.I saw a guy stumbling, he was wearing a leather jacket with some spikes, jeans and heavy boots, his hair was shaved on the sides, but the ends were up.Then I turned to Alex, who was already close by, grabbed his arm and made a slight movement with my head, but Alex's aura was enough to make the people around him afraid... It's as if he was really turning his anger into something physical."Sorry! I didn't know she already had an owner!" The man said.He should have kept quiet, it would have been better... It would have been better for him to face Alex, because the way I turned, I saw people cringin

Sophia POV"Drinking without eating... After leaving the hospital..." I said with my eyes closed. "It wasn't my best moment of intelligence.""Think about it, at least you didn't take your medicine," Alex said, and I felt him sit down next to me."I'll need sugar as well as salt..." I took a deep breath."Sugar?" Alex asked, confused."Yes, glucose..." I opened my eyes and stared at him, I could still see that shadow in his eyes. "Your eyes...""What's wrong with them?" Alex asked me, but I knew he was nervous."There's something in them... I thought it was because I was drunk, but..." I want to reach up and touch his face, but my inst

Sophia POV"You shouldn't go around flirting with everyone." I heard Alex's voice coming from the left and turned to see him."Why? Are you jealous?" I asked and approached him slowly. "I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with me."I could see an uneasy look on Alex's face, a touch of jealousy and doubt."Sophia, you're going to end up regretting it," Alex speaks after thinking for a few seconds, and I know he's frustrated."I've regretted a lot of things in my life, including choosing to have sex with some people who, well, weren't good enough." I'm very close to Alex, and I tilt my head to speak close to his ear. "But life would be very dull if we didn't taste things..." I lower my voice an

"Hey! You're not going to sleep here, are you?" I heard Samuel's voice and opened my eyes, letting out a low laugh."No, I'm not sleeping here..." I smiled and added something he definitely wasn't expecting: "But maybe in a hotel room with you accompanying me."I saw his eyes widen for a second and then his laugh echoed, and I liked the sound of it, but that twinge of pain came back."By the Goddess! You're very direct and very different." He said, pouring me a shot of apple mead."Why be the same when I can be different?" I asked, smiling."I agree with that!" Samuel replied and handed me the glass. "It's a busy night, but if you want to wait, we can go somewhere else afterward."

Reborn from Ashes A New Form
Sophia's POVI parted my lips and felt air rushing into my lungs, and it was like breathing for the first time. My skin tingled, every nerve seeming to wake from a deep sleep, as if it had been imprisoned for ages. My chest rose and fell slowly, heavily, but filled with a warmth I didn’t recognize, it wasn’t the heat of fever or exertion... It was different, exotic, and complex...I opened my eyes and blinked several times as the light hurt them. Colors and shapes began to form in front of me as I raised my hands to shield some of the brightness. I felt my muscles stretch; the sensation was strange, not painful, not tingling, something entirely new. My whole body was lying against the marble floor.But I could understand: everything was new because this body had just been born, and I would need to get used to it. I saw my hand in front of my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was that my skin tone hadn’t changed, I was still fair-skinned. My fingers were slightly longer.In the backg
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
Reborn from Ashes Choices Two
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
