Sophia POV

I'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

    Sophia POV"What happened?" I ask confused. My mind is scrambled. I don’t even remember anything from the last time I was awake."You slept for five days." I hear Khalid's voice say.I turned the rest of the way to see him.'That time. The voice.’ I thought and tilted my head to the left."There's something..." I whisper. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, feeling a twinge a little further back, near the top of my head.I know where it is... The lower left parietal lobe... Near, but not near where the memories are stored."Sophy..." Perseus' voice calls me and I open my eyes to look at him.He has a handkerchief in his left hand, which he hands to me. Only then do I realize that my nose is running."I've prepared a little potion to help you recover," Khalid says, approaching me and holding out a small vial of red liquid for me to take."Minor life potion, 1d4 life," I said with a low laugh and took the vial from him.I drank it all down in one gulp. It really does taste like bloo

    Achilles POVI understand what Sophia is saying, as well as what Perseus is feeling. He's used to leading and making all the decisions but Sophia is the Luna of the pack, and she's bound to make decisions that Perseus won't agree with.I approach Perseus, putting my hand on his right shoulder and let my energy flow into him to calm him down. He knew what I was doing and didn't fight it. I felt him start to relax.Khalid thanked me briefly with a nod of his head, he then picks up his cell phone and looks at the screen."Gáta is asking if she can open the portal here, to my location," Khalid asked."It can." Perseus leaves the room and I immediately feel the atmosphere around us change.It's almost like static electricity, but different. I can feel the magic on my skin and on the tip of my tongue. A bluish portal appears next to Khalid., iIt's a very bright circle with bluish lines that warp in a circular motion. Shortly after its appearance, a woman steps out of it.Gáta has long blac

  • Reborn from Ashes   Curse

    Perseus POVIt's been two days since the events, but we still have no answers... Just the assumption that Sophy is cursed, and the witch refuses to say anything before my mate wakes up.The news that we had a witch in the pack spread like wildfire. I had to hold an emergency pack meeting to explain the situation to everyone. I told the pack that I had made an alliance with the witch so that she could help Achilles and Sophy wake up and that what they had sensed was her using her power to help our betas out of hibernation.Since Achilles was awake, it helped my subordinates to calm down. Things were happening too fast. My father hadn't stopped with the idea of the Gay Parade, and Khalid now knew about our covert operations.I know I have to adapt, but it's very difficult when I have no other alternative but to accept. Achilles is my greatest support at the moment. I've spent hours talking to him and I feel more and more at ease.Achilles isn't just my friend, he's also my mate now, and

  • Reborn from Ashes   Curse Two

    Sophia POVI'm tired. Achilles and Perseus won't stop fighting, their auras are weighing heavily on my body and mind. Sometimes I can hear their thoughts as well, which confuses me because I can't even hear myself. "It's like cancer..." I whisper to myself and lower my head putting my hand on my chest. I may not feel the power of the curse yet, but I know it's there... "A malignant cancer that will metastasize and destroy everything, no matter who it hurts in the process."I try to block out any other external noise, focusing exclusively on trying to understand what's going on with me. As much as I find myself surrounded by supernatural creatures, magic, and more, my logical mind still won’t accept it."At the moment the curse is almost imperceptible, but it's certain to grow faster now that it's been exposed." I continue talking to myself. "Many doctors say that cancer has a life of its own and that's why it's so unpredictable. As soon as you just poke it, it turns into a monster.

    Khalid POVIf I hadn't lived so long, I would let it be known how much Sophia's decision affects me, because it gives me hope... Something I can't nurture, because I see how much these three love each other and Sophia will never look at me the same way.It would be a betrayal for me to court her... Something that goes against everything I believe in... If Perseus and Achilles were the idiots who hurt her, then I wouldn't care, but it's just the opposite, they're willing to do anything to help her.I know it's going to get harder and harder to resist, even more so if she's not united with others because of the bond. My Daemon is laughing at me because he loves to see me suffer in this type of situation since it doesn't happen often.'My dear... It is you who got carried away and now, here you are complaining... I warned you right at the beginning to be careful... You didn't listen, so stop whining!'My Daemon sneers. I have to stop myself from sighing. I know Alex suspects something af

    Perseus POVI know I should be more patient... that I should improve my emotional intelligence, but how can I do that when the woman I love wants to reject me? As soon as she suggested it, I couldn't help feeling angry and hurt.There are too many things for me to take in at once. Besides, Helios is quiet, I haven't heard from him since I woke up. I can feel that he's still with me, but his presence is dim as though he's very tired.It is highly likely as we were in a coma for a long time and I don't remember much of anything. I know, for a fact, that something did happen because I remember feeling that Helios wasn’t with me, which left me with a feeling of apprehension and sadness as I didn't know if he would come back.I take Sophy's hand and bring it to my lips, not wanting the sparks to disappear. I sense that she doesn't like it when I lose control or when I act jealous.“I'm going to miss being able to feel you in my chest... Sharing our feelings... Our connection is perfect, a

  • Reborn from Ashes   A wonderful surprise

    Sophia POVMy chest hurts. It's been a constant pain since I woke up after my mates made their promise. I try not to let it get to me and not pass the pain onto them, but sometimes it gets too strong and they worry.“Let's bring in a heart monitor.” Dr. Ioannidis said.I know that Achilles and Perseus suggested it, so I won’t make a fuss over it, there’s been enough fighting, and if it brings them peace, then I’ll accept it. I need to give in too so that our bond isn't lost.“First,” Dr. Ioannidis continues, “I'd like to do an MRI, to check that your internal organs are alright, as well as examine you for scars from previous surgeries that you've undergone and try to ascertain whether you do, indeed, have any transplanted organs.” He finishes.Once the rejection ritual was agreed on, we discovered that there was so much more that needed to be investigated and taken into consideration. Doing the MRI and running a few tests, would help in providing crucial information before the ritual

    Perseus POVThe game was a lot of fun, everyone laughed and there was certainly quite some tension when our dices didn’t let us do what we wanted, but the feelings of critical success were something surreal.I never thought I'd have this much fun playing the game. The story was different, but yet there are many similarities, as Khalid explained that several werewolves were involved in the development of the game and who helped to create the original story. Some of the creators were still asking the werewolves for help with new scenarios.This happens with almost every RPG.“Alright... At least now I understand the similarities...” Sophy comments in a more serious tone at the end of the explanation. “Which makes me very scared, because I know a lot of horror scenarios and if 5% of them are true, then this world is much worse than expected.”I was a little taken aback by Sophy’s statement. As far I am concerned, I don't think that anything too scary has happened for her to face so far

    Alex POVSince Sophia woke up and we had that revealing conversation, where I could see that she truly accepted who she was and what was happening, the balance between us began to flow more easily. I feel my wolf strengthening every day, and I realize I had never considered humans the way Sophia described. It makes perfect sense, as almost every race I have known or heard of has a human counterpart. Humans are incredibly versatile, which gives me confidence that Sophia will survive the rejection ritual.I'm not sure how much damage it will cause her and her companions, my Alpha and Beta, but I have faith that they will recover. And, honestly? Even after the rejection ritual, I will never abandon Sophia. I will always be her Gamma, her protector. Unlike Perseus and Achilles, my function is to protect my Luna from her own companions if necessary.This function did not arise by chance. For a long time, Alphas imprisoned their Lunas so that they would not be "tainted" with inappropriate t

  • Reborn from Ashes   Acceptance and Adaptation

    Sophia's POVI woke up some time ago. Perseus and Achilles were not by my side, but that didn't worry me because Alex was in the room. Unlike before, I'm not tired, I don't feel any pain, and my mind is clearer than ever.At this moment, I am looking out the window, observing the buildings below and the movement of the people. I've done this a few times because it's interesting to know that there are people who have no idea what's happening, that the world is changing, and that there are people protecting them so they don't get hurt.I closed my eyes and let the sunrays warm me. I am at peace and have accepted my destiny. Knowing what I am is very different from being in the dark. No matter how complicated things are, I have a definitive answer about what I am."Sophia, are you okay?" I heard Alex's voice behind me.I smiled and turned around, putting my hands in my pockets."Yes, I am." I replied."You're different." Alex added."I know, but it makes sense. Now I know what I am.

    Sophia's POVI blinked several times, feeling my body aching, especially above my heart, it was a sensation as if there was a weight on it trying to crush me. I took deep breaths several times, trying to block out the pain.It wasn't easy to do this, because the sensation changed to feeling like a hand was wrapping around my heart and starting to squeeze, wanting to explode it. The force used was extreme, but I wasn't going to give up so easily.Then I felt another hand on top of mine, and gradually the pain disappeared, and I could breathe better. Finally, I could fully open my eyes and saw that Alex was by my side. It was he who helped me overcome this challenge."Are you feeling better, Luna?" Alex asked, concerned.I rolled my eyes at him calling me by my title."I've told you that you can call me Sophia." I replied and saw him smile.Honestly? If I wasn't hopelessly in love with Perseus and Achilles, I would definitely have gotten closer to Alex."If you're smiling like that and

    Aquiles' POVAs soon as everyone left, Soph's body relaxed, she had fallen asleep. Even after so many revelations and knowing that she is a being completely different from any other, she is still weak. Perhaps in this incarnation she is human, which is why she is so fragile.I stepped back and let Perseus put her to bed. I took a deep breath, knowing that my conversation with him would not be pleasant, but I wanted to do it now, in this place, because I knew he would have to control himself or it could affect Soph."Perseus, you need to take care of yourself... Deal with this jealousy you feel." I spoke in a normal tone, without letting my aura grow.I saw him close his eyes and his hands tremble as he stood up to look at me."I can't be as cold as you!" Perseus said through gritted teeth, moving away from Soph. "How can you be like this? Didn't you see the way they looked at each other?"I took a deep breath; Perseus seemed like a child, and this was becoming unbearable. Soph wouldn'

  • Reborn from Ashes   Internal Battle

    Khalid's POVThese past few days have not been easy, especially after I confessed my feelings to Hyperion. However, he knows I didn't act on them, and that's what kept me in the pack. Moreover, I made a blood promise not to interfere with the bond of fate, even after they reject each other. There's little chance this promise will be broken, and I doubt I have any chance at all.Part of me wishes for an opportunity to get closer to Sophia, to feel her in my arms. But my code of honor will never allow that part to take over. As punishment, Hyperion asked me to stay away from Sophia and only approach her when absolutely necessary. He reminded me that I have many duties to fulfill within the pack.That's how I spent the last two days, never getting close to the room, always following Hyperion's orders and also preparing the protective runes that would be placed on Perseus and Achilles, as we don't want the curse to spread any further.Gata is even more suspicious about what's going on wit

  • Reborn from Ashes   Explanations

    Sophia POV"From what you yourself have told and written, you were one of the first creations of the Mother of Monsters, a way to dominate and surpass other races. A creation to be one of the most powerful weapons of this Ancient." Isak began to explain. "The Ancient Gods were losing that battle, so they united to create the curse and imprisoned the Mother of Monsters within you, because as the first Chimera to be created, you have the ability to absolve the new creatures that would emerge and be created by the New Gods."Isak took a deep breath, with a touch of sadness."The problem is that the Mother of Monsters is very powerful and found a loophole in the curse to free herself. Despite you being countless different creatures, you can be killed." Isak turned his face and looked out the window, surely remembering something. "Over the ages, a creature would die. The energy of the Mother of Monsters would spread to those around, corrupting them... You were hunted many times, and each t

  • Reborn from Ashes   What am I?

    Sophia POVThere's something different in the air, I still can't figure out exactly what... But I'm absolutely sure it has to do with this man's appearance.If 1% of what I know about Miskatonic University and the Ancient myths is true, then we're doomed... Which makes me even more suspicious of this man, because it means that there are cultists out there...People who want to free the Ancients and who are involved with twisted, “ profane” magics that are far more powerful than Gáta can ever access.My eyes met Khalid's and it was a silent conversation, he understands me, more than Perseus and Achilles, at least as far as this situation is concerned. I know that your Daemon is extremely powerful and very old. This knowledge is not because I drank his blood, because I know that I am no longer bonded to him...This silent conversation has to do with our way of thinking, with our ability to see the dark side of people and situations, with our difficulty in fully trusting someone.

    Note: In the previous chapter, there was an error in the translation.The correct phrase to introduce Isak is: “It was my fault.” The man replied. “My name is Isak Petrov, I'm the Dean of Miskatonic University.”Perseus POVI clench my other hand tightly, because I can't stand to see the way Khalid and Sophia get along, I know it's stupid of me, but I'm trying to control this jealousy and as if that wasn't enough... Khalid is now very close to my father too.The two of them had a meeting the day Sophia went back to sleep and after that they seem to have become even closer...I can't understand how everyone is involved with this vampire, his charm doesn't appeal to me and I simply can't accept him. As soon as he gave me that stupid order, I rolled my eyes.“It's not something I can do...” I said through my teeth.“Just because you've never tried it before... Helios' ability is gigantic, just like the Sun... He can burn to purify or burn to destroy. All you have to do is concentrate on

    Achilles POVIt's been two days since Sophia went back to sleep, and honestly, I'm scared to death that she won't survive the ritual... There are so few days until the full moon... My heart squeezes just imagining something like this happening.I know we have to do this ritual, but it's not something I want to do, because I want to stay connected to Sophia in every way possible. I just wanted to find a way to control this curse.I saw what it caused... I watched the videos of the attack Perseus and I made, it was a massacre and the howls and screams of the enemies make me shudder to this day. I know it was real, but for me it was nothing like that, I simply wanted to kill everyone who was a danger to my pack and my mates.I even had to give a short interview and that's exactly what I said live. As well as explaining that Sophia is sleeping once again, since what happened at the Gay Parade was very intense.I realized that many people were afraid of me and Perseus... But they respected
