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
Reborn from Ashes 19 - Perceptions 1
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
Reborn from Ashes 22 - A direct invitation 1
"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 23 - An irresistible attraction 1
Sophia POVAgain I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I look around, we're outside the bar, there are a few cars there, and several people are looking at our discussion, but I know it's none of them, so I let my gaze wander to more hidden places.Alex holds my arm, but I don't push him, I know he understands what I'm doing and in fact, he's also looking around.I finally stop and look further to the right, down a much darker street, and it's impossible to tell if there's anything there, but I know that whatever is watching me is there."Sophia, we need to go." I heard Alex's voice and with my peripheral vision, I saw some people heading in the direction I had stopped to pay more attention. "Sophia, please."
Reborn from Ashes 24 - Conversations 1
Sophia POVI woke up not wanting to wake up because that feeling of having been discarded was still intense, I didn't know how I was going to cope with it, and again I felt like crying, I swallowed and took several deep breaths to control that urge.I got up and went to the closet, grabbing some pajamas from there. I needed to change and have breakfast, I also needed to take my medication and especially stay away from Achilles, at least as far away as I could.I brush my teeth, splash some water on my face and see that I look a bit pale. I take another deep breath, comb my hair and go to the bedroom door. When I open it, I can hear a commotion outside, and I know immediately that Achilles and Perseus are there, as well as Hyperion and Alex, they're discussing something.
Reborn from Ashes 25 - Conversations 2
Sophia POV"Of course there is... He didn't want me." I said simply, and my heart ached again."He wants you, but he can't... Not yet." Alex said, and I took a deep breath, looking away from him. "Sophia... I promise, after you talk to Hyperion, things will make sense.""Okay." It was the only thing I managed to say, and Alex pulled away, giving me a kiss in the middle of my forehead.I closed my eyes and tried to control this rollercoaster of emotions: part of me trusts Alex, while there's a part that wants to protect itself, even if it means hurting others.We started walking towards the elevator and I saw it hit the penthouse floor again, only this time instead of the brothers going to the dining room, we pas
