Chapter: THE DATENOAHThis is wrong!This is wrong!This is wrong!That phrase has been playing around in my head for days, and the memories of that night are so fresh. I remember every detail, but I blame myself for it, after all it is the most absurd thing that has ever happened in my life, Andrew is my cousin, and maybe if I really felt something for him, this would not be allowed according to the laws of Ascabaltt, not that I'm really interested, which would be absurd. I shouldn't feel this way. That kiss wasn't supposed to leave me like this, and it left me extremely disturbed, I haven't been able to sleep very well. No, I didn't feel that way about Andrew, or did I really?I've never felt this way about anyone, it's just too weird. The few times I've been in a relationship with someone, I've never felt as lost as I am right now, what's going on? Why does my mind remind me of the damn kiss every time I think of something that reminds me of him? There are so many questions, and I don't have answer

Chapter: HE KISSED MENOAH— Noah, Noah! — Balck screams desperately as I raise my sword in the air, before counterattacking my opponent. — Noah, your mother is looking for you!— Balck, I can't now! — I answer and continue my fight. — Can't you see I'm in training!— Your mother is coming here...— What? Why didn't you stop her? — I answer, I stop my training, put the sword in my scabbard, and face Balck.— As if there's a way to stop your mother, please, you know there isn't!—I hurry through the large courtyard until I reach one of the entrances that leads to the entrance hall of the palace.— Andrew is at the palace!— What? Who called you?Whenever I think about having any contact with my cousin, my stomach hurts. Andrew is an Alpha Lupus, annoying, arrogant, and thinks the world revolves around him. Since we're kids, there's not been a minute of peace between us, he's always up to something to piss me off, take my peace.— He came to the ball!— But there's a week left for that to happen...— But his

Chapter: GOING BACK IN TIMEANDREW — Well, well... It's not that he believed, and followed his uncle's ghost! — the damned Direl manifests himself, and soon afterwards he lets out a great laugh, which echoes throughout the place. — I figured you'd follow your uncle, you're as predictable as your father!The mention of my father makes my blood boil. I stare at Direl with great anger remembering everything that happened.— Who are you to talk about my father? After all, you helped him create this chaos.— Yes, I helped because I took his word for it, that Sattir would be mine, but your father broke his word, in fact Alexander never had a word!— Why did you draw me here? — I ask and observe the place around me, dirty, many cages, and one of them is open.— Very simple, I'll lock you up!The cynical smile on his face is annoying, he walks back and forth, but before he does anything I smell a very familiar smell, and I hear a familiar voice coming from behind me.— You are not going to lock anyone in this cage, you

Chapter: THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDNOAHLast night's dream doesn't leave my head, I seem to be in an eternal temporal loop. What was it really about? It seemed to be a time that never existed, but that could exist if nothing bad had happened to me, and to my biological parents, and consequently to my adoptive parents. A reality I can never experience. I feel something strange since leaving Andrew's mother's house, Hannah made me agree with the idea that I should wait, I believe she knows something else that I don't, when she told me that, I had the same feeling as Duric passed it to me, they know something, they know Killian's whereabouts, and they know what weapon he's looking for.If I'm going to be the King of Ascabaltt, why are they hiding so much information from me? I know that sometimes I'm very stubborn, and even arrogant in thinking I can beat something, or someone, but everything they hide from me is related to my past, and possibly the future. So, there's no reason to hide anything from me, that's not fair t

Chapter: THIS IS WRONG?NOAH— You must be looking for my son, am I right? — she asks, I shake my head. — I think you better come in, we have a lot to talk about!Hearing this my heart races, I feel that something is wrong, that something has happened to Andrew. She invites us into the house, pushes the door aside and lets us in. I go in, followed by my brother and brother-in-law. The room is not very large, there are some paintings of flowers and landscapes on the wall, a large wooden table with many seats, in the corner of the room by the window.— Feel free! — she says, goes through the door next to the table, and then returns with a tray, with a china vase and some glasses of the same material. — Here's fresh water for you to drink, I think you walked a long way to get here.— Yeah. — I answer, put my backpack on the floor, in the corner of the door, and then sit at the table, take a glass and pour water into it. — You said we have a lot to talk about, does that mean Andrew? Did something happen to him?

Chapter: ANDREW'S RESCUE — Part IINOAHI observe everything carefully to assess the environment around me, I feel frustrated and tired, there is no way I can fight, they are small, but there are many of them, by the heaps. I try to concentrate, like I did at Catarina's, I try to get the power out of me, but it seems impossible, I feel exhausted. Desperation starts to take over my mind as all attempts to get the power out fail. Maybe it's because I'm so tired, I don't know, what's the point of having something like that if it doesn't work when I need it? When I use too much I get weak, and when I'm too tired, it doesn't show up? I'm on my own and alone. With no apparent alternative, I take off running into the forest, tripping over my own feet on the way. Branches scrape my arms and legs, slicing my face as I desperately try to brush them away. I scream for help, I call my brother and brother-in-law's name, but the monsters scream louder and louder as they chase me. I dare to look back if I see them running so fast the

Chapter: Chapter 19: The Mafia BusinessThe days that followed the walk through the city were the lightest since Sofia arrived at the mansion.She and Tony established a silent routine. Breakfast together, he reading the newspaper, she flipping through a book. Afternoons on the terrace, among the olive trees, talking about everything and nothing. Nights in the library, each in their own armchair, reading in silence, but aware of each other's presence.Sofia began to forget she was a prisoner. She began to forget the walls, the debt, the fear. She began to forget that Tony Marino was a mobster.That was why the shock was so violent.That afternoon, Sofia was coming down the stairs toward the library when she heard voices. Raised voices, charged with tension. She stopped in the middle of the corridor, her heart racing."You think you can deceive me?" Tony's voice was cold, sharp as a blade. "You think I don't know what you did?"Sofia should have turned back. Should have gone upstairs, gone to her room, pretended she hadn't h

Chapter: Chapter 18: A Walk Through the CitySofia didn't expect Tony to invite her out. On the morning after the chapel, she came down for breakfast and found him already seated at the table, reading a newspaper. He seemed lighter than in the previous days, as if the confession in the east wing had removed a weight from his shoulders."Good morning," he said, raising his eyes. "Did you sleep well?""Reasonably." Sofia sat down, accepting the cup of coffee Aldo served her. "And you?""Better than I expected." Tony closed the newspaper and looked at her with an expression she couldn't decipher. "Sofia, I have a proposal."She raised an eyebrow."Another proposal? You're becoming a man of many proposals."Tony laughed, a genuine sound that lit up his face."This one is different. I want to take you out. Leave the mansion. See something beyond these walls."Sofia set her cup on the table, a little surprised."Out? I thought I couldn't leave without an escort.""And you can't." Tony stood up and walked to her.

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Hidden MassSofia didn't sleep that night. She lay in bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, while the hours dragged slowly. The images of the east wing still burned in her mind Elena's photographs, the baby's room, Tony's face when he confessed his pain. There was something sacred in that pain, something that touched her deeply and left her restless.When the first rays of sun began to color the sky, Sofia got up. She dressed in silence, without calling Lena, and left the room. She needed a place to think. A place to pray.The library wasn't enough. Dumas's words and Tony's thoughts in the margins of the books distracted her. She needed silence. She needed God.She walked through the mansion's corridors aimlessly, her feet sliding over the Persian rugs, her eyes wandering over the walls covered in paintings. The mansion was a labyrinth, a place full of secrets and shadows. Sofia already knew the library, the terrace, the olive garden. But there were still corners she hadn't explored.That was when she

Chapter: Chapter 16: The Ghost of the PastThe mansion had secrets. Sofia had always known that. There were doors that never opened, corridors that seemed to lead nowhere, whispers that echoed through the walls when night fell. But there was one place, in particular, that intrigued her more than any other: the east wing.Sofia had discovered it by chance, one afternoon while exploring the second-floor corridors. A double door of dark wood, covered by a thin layer of dust, as if no one had touched it in years. There was no visible lock, but when Sofia tried to push it, it didn't give. It was locked from the inside."What's in there?" she asked Lena later, while the maid helped her get ready for dinner.Lena paused for an instant, the hairbrush suspended in the air."The east wing?" Her voice dropped lower. "Nothing, miss. Just old rooms. Mr. Marino doesn't like anyone going there.""Why?""I don't know." Lena lowered her eyes, but Sofia noticed she knew more than she let on. "I never asked."Sofia didn't insist. But curiosity,

Chapter: Chapter 15: The First KissThe following week passed like a dream from which Sofia couldn't wake. She continued to read in the library, to pray in her room, to walk through the mansion's corridors with the strange feeling that she was being watched, not by cameras or security guards, but by Tony. He didn't bother her, didn't try to get close. He was just there. In the small gestures: a fresh flower on the breakfast table, a new book left in her favorite chair in the library, the chef preparing the dishes she had mentioned she liked.It was a silent, patient, almost respectful courtship, and that frightened her more than any threat. Tony also took her to the olive garden every afternoon. It was the only place where he seemed truly at ease, where his armor fell away and he became just a man, speaking of his grandmother, his childhood, his regrets. Sofia listened in silence, responding with stories of the convent, of the peace she had found in prayer, of the fears she had faced when leaving the world.That afternoo

Chapter: Chapter 14: The Olive GardenThree days had passed since Sofia discovered the library, and it had become her refuge. Every morning, after breakfast, she climbed the stairs and lost herself among the shelves, reading about saints and sinners, about empires that crumbled and loves that survived time. It was the only place in the mansion where she didn't feel like a prisoner.Tony watched her from afar. He didn't bother her, didn't try to make conversation. He just appeared at the library door now and then, as if wanting to confirm she was still there, and then disappeared. There was something almost tender in that silent vigilance, and Sofia hated the fact that, little by little, she was beginning to get used to it.That morning, however, Tony didn't appear at the library. Instead, it was Lena who came to fetch her, with a mysterious smile on her lips."Mr. Marino asks that you meet him on the terrace, miss."Sofia frowned."Terrace?""Yes. On the top floor. He said he has something to show you."Sofia hesitated. T

I take a deep breath, I feel a purity in the air and a sense of peace invades my mind, and a childish laugh awakens me from my moment. I look to the side and she looks at me, her face smiling. She approaches me, smiles a lot, holds the ball as if it's something very precious, kicks it lightly in my direction, I reach for it with my hand, and the smile gives way to a closed expression.— Mother, are you better? — he asks in a worried tone.— I am, don't worry, I'm just tired!— So, you have to get out of that chair and master the ball, Dad already explained how to do it...— Julia, the player here at home is your father, understand once and for all!— But you said you'd play with me!— Yes, I said, but I thought you were going to play something else, there are other games and things to do, besides football, daughter!— But I like football, I don't want to play anythi

Am I ready to be a mother? What would Raúl's reaction be? There are so many questions in my mind that I couldn't sleep well, I look at the empty space next to me, the bed seems even bigger than it is, Raúl must be at the club by now, while I don't feel like getting up .Sitting at the table, in front of the food, I stare into space. The dream won't get out of my head, and I think I'm going to go crazy if I keep thinking about it. The doorbell rings, snapping me out of my trance.

I take a deep breath, face the blue immensity, and a sense of peace invades my mind, my body. A child's smile awakens me from my little trance. I look to the side and look at the smiling face of a small girl who runs towards me, she approaches me, smiles, puts her hands together, offers me a small yellow flower, I reach out to take it, and before it touches, she walks away and runs away without saying anything. It's strange, I feel the need to follow her, I don't know why, but a different feeling takes over me, I can't identify what it is, just that I need to go to the little girl, be close to her. I get up and follow after her, who runs more and more and smiles. Her smile, her black eyes, and her shoulder-length hair remind me of me as a child. She smiles, and when I get closer, she hugs me so tightly, I reciprocate and I feel my heart beat so hard, she loosens up a little and looks at me, op

I won the title of best defender in the competition alongside Valdéz , many contracts with companies emerged, interviews on various programs, celebrations, there is a lot happening at the same time in my professional life. My personal life, or rather my love life, seems stagnant, I couldn't talk to Alana after winning the title. I need to find her and I think I know the ideal time for that, because even if she's upset, she'll go to the commemoration promoted by the Spanish Football Federation.I arrive at the party practically on time, and I am informed by one of the organizers of the event that the tributes to the Selection would begin in a few minutes. I look around the room and spot her. She is beautiful, with a black dress that highlights her beautiful curves very well and a discreet neckline that leaves the bosom of her breasts a little exposed, and that makes me a little on.

Raúl touches my hand lightly, his gaze is intense, I feel naked in front of him. He closes the distance between us, wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me tightly, I return the gesture. It seems like the world stopped for both of us at that moment, I can't hear anything, let alone see anything, it's a unique moment. Unlike my dream, he's not blaming me, we're incredibly connected, and before we say anything, our moment is interrupted by his family. He looks at me as if he wants to ask for something, I move away a little, giving way to his mother and brothers.

The two started to find out who they really were, what they felt for each other, and this feeling became intense for both of them.
