Sophia POVI never cease to be amazed at how big this version of Perseus is, this wolf is gigantic, his head is practically the same height as mine, his fur so shiny that it seems to have a light of its own.I run my hand over his muzzle and I can feel the love that Perseus feels for me, this connection is so intense that it might have scared me before, but now I just accept it and I'm very happy about it.Perseus makes a brief movement with his head, indicating for me to go up, although I want to play with his fur, I do as Perseus asks. I thought it would be more difficult to climb, but Perseus lowered himself and it didn't take him long to find the perfect position.As soon as my mate starts running, I feel a very different emotion, one of pure freedom, the wind on my face is delicious. The trees go by quickly and at no time am I afraid that we'll hit one.Perseus moves with agility and elegance, I don't even hear the sound of his paws against the ground, but I can smell the separat
Sophia POVHalf of the employees on this floor have been replaced by Omegas and that shows how strong I am. I still miss meeting and talking to Hyperion and Khalid in person, but I used to video call them all the time.All the more so because I'm back to helping organize the Gay Parade, which was just five days away. This and the defense plans make me both happy and stressed.Several news stories about Achilles fainting in public were circulating in the main gossip magazines, some even saying that Perseus was being affected. Right now I'm watching the evening paper discuss the Gay Parade and these reports.'As an expert, I'm saying... This is a sign that the Goddess doesn't agree with this Gay Parade! It goes against our instincts.' Lexx Soulton's voice rang out.He is the main spokesperson against LGBT rights. Someone I've done extensive research on and have some dirt on. I have to thank Khalid and the digital espionage group we set up for having this information now.'Your opinion h
Sophia POVThis meeting was very well thought out, because as I'm stronger we have to be careful not to relapse and that alone is a reason for me to regret it.Achilles squeezed my hand, to give me strength, not because I'm ashamed of wanting to have sex with my mates, but because I can already imagine the answer. It's just that my Beta insisted on it.I took a deep breath, feeling the witch's aura at the exact moment she opened the door. Perseus hugged me from behind and kissed the curve of my neck gently. Like a pillar that won't collapse.“Alpha, Beta and Luna.” Gáta bowed briefly as she closed the door.All the employees had been dismissed, which meant that I interacted with only the aura of my mates and the witch.I took a few deep breaths as the witch approached, her scent had become more intense and it was as if I could feel her magic on my skin, a strange sensation, but not a bad one.“I must say that Miss Sophia is much better, her aura is much stronger.” Gáta informed me.I
Achilles POVSophia's emotions are running high and it's impossible to ignore them, as they resonate in my chest, every single one of them... Knowing how much she was hurt and how it turned her into the woman she is today makes my blood boil.I still can't wrap my head around the fact that someone hurt her like that... The most shocking thing is knowing that she even married this guy! The control he exerted over Sophia is gigantic.Rationally, I understand that she was innocent and very young, so she let herself be taken in by someone older and who filled her with empty promises. The problem is that emotionally I simply can't see today's woman in the situation she describes.“That's a good question, Sophia.” Gáta said. “If the marriage is valid, then you'll need to use your married name. Since, even in human rituals, there is an intrinsic link between the two people.” I clamped my mouth shut tightly, holding back my anger and Perseus's. Knowing that Soph could still be linked to this
Khalid POVStaying 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
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. If even a powerful witch
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
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
