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

Achilles POVKhalid was right about using my powers instinctively, because I feel completely exhausted. I don't know how the vampire is doing so well... Perseus also seems much more tired than usual.“Your wolves are recovering and came out to use the little energy that they had recovered while resting.” Khalid explained, as we sat at the dinner table.Soph is very tired, but she needs to eat, so the dinner is light, but with plenty of high protein meat.“It also means that it will take much longer for you to be able to go through the rejection ritual.” Hyperion said, which is something that we all already know.On the one hand, I'm happy, but on the other I'm scared. We don't know how strong the curse is able to or will become.I look at Soph and see her close her eyes. I quickly get up and take her in my arms. Her breathing is still steady as she leans her head on my shoulder. As much as she wants to stay awake, her body is very fragile and desperately needs the rest.“What can we d

Sophia POVI took a deep breath, looking around me at the buildings and the movement in the streets. A part of me finds it so strange to be responsible for so many lives. I'm the Luna of this pack… And this is the first time that I'm actually thinking about it.I never thought of myself as the hero type, who would rather sacrifice herself than see someone else hurt or killed. I would have no qualms killing those who wish to harm me or the ones I love... But I can't, in good conscience, let my loves one to get hurt because of me.“Khalid...” I called the vampire.My tone is low, almost inaudible, but I know that he would hear me. Perseus and Achilles are taking care of some pack business and that's why there's only Alex, Khalid and myself in the room.“The balancing has been going on for some time...” I state, pausing for a few moments to organize my thoughts. “It means that I should now have some of Achilles’ and Perseus’ abilities, shouldn’t I?”I raise my hand and touch the glass

Sophia POVIt's been a week since the changes were brought into effect and, for the first two days it was hard to get used to all the new staff members around me. Especially as they are human and, to me, it was as though they didn't even exist. As if though something was missing from them.Achilles explained to me that it was the lack of their spiritual auras. I started to understand why Dafne always referred to me as a mere human. Nobody was aware of me being Perseus' mate, and we hardly ever acted more intimate towards each other in public.Of course, they all thanked me for the opportunity to work on this floor and they were happy to help. All these changes were explained to them and no one complained about them, as it was very clear to the pack that the balance was painful.The diet was another thing I had difficulty getting used to. It took much longer to adapt to the new diet and menu. So far, I don't enjoy eating as much, but I do feel a lot stronger. I haven't had any more fai

Sophia POV“Soph.” Achilles called out, taking my hand and helping me up.I looked at my mate, concerned, as his expression was serious.“Since you're feeling better, I talked to Gáta, and she and Khalid already have a spell ready to connect you to my father, so he can help you control the flow of energy.” Achilles explained.They had already told me about this, I don't feel comfortable, because Sapphire still doesn't like me, and I'm sure she doesn't like the idea of me being connected to her mate, even more so because of my curse... Now if they think it will help me, then I'll agree to do this ritual.“I know, Soph...” Achilles hugged me and I let myself be enveloped by his warmth. “But we have to try... Khalid said he'll use some tricks to protect my father from the curse.”I closed my eyes, letting myself be carried away by his warm scent.“I won't object, it's already been decided.” I whispered.“Soph, if you don't accept it wholeheartedly, the spell has every chance of failing.

Sophia POVI blinked a few times, focusing my gaze, realizing that I'm alone in bed, but the smell of Perseus and Achilles is everywhere. I yawned as I sat up, looked around and saw my two mates sitting at the table, they're looking at a tablet, probably analyzing something.“Good evening, Sophy.” Perseus said, looking up from the tablet.“Good night, loves.” I said, realizing I was wearing a nightgown.Perseus stood up, with Achilles who was carrying the tablet, and as soon as he got close he handed me the tablet. I took the object and saw that there was a satellite image of the pack, the Terra Verde camp and some roads leading to other packs.“We know you're getting bored.” Perseus said and gave me a kiss. “That's why I decided to bring you one of the tablets that have already been reviewed, with information about the attacks that have taken place.”I smiled at my Alpha, happy to know that he understood me so well.“As the Gay Parade is due to take place in the next few days, it has

Perseus POVAs the days go by, I feel that Sophy is getting stronger and that makes me so excited. Of course, it's getting harder and harder to ignore the attraction I feel. We often exchange heated kisses and every time it happens I have to concentrate so that it doesn't evolve into anything more than kissing.That's why we decided to sleep in separate beds in the same room. The problem would be explaining why I would sleep together, after all, until now they had always seen me go into my room and never sleep here.The solution was for me to sleep with Achilles and Sophy to stay apart. I still feel strange when I'm attracted to my friend, but I'm not fighting it. Besides, I'm managing to control my jealousy, with Khalid further away I don't have as many outbursts, even though I can't spend as much time with Sophy as Achilles.Apart from the fact that Sophy was doing very well at controlling the flow of energy, Lucca had appointed one of his students, James Vern, to help Sophy with th

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.

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
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
