"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

"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."

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."

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.

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

Sophia POV"Sophia, the supernatural world does exist." Hyperion began to speak calmly, I knew he was analyzing my reactions.I think my disbelief was clear because Perseus took a deep breath and rolled his eyes."It's not quite like the books you've read... I looked it up, but some facts are very similar." Hyperion continued, but my debauched smile was even more visible."That won't work." I heard Perseus mutter, and then he turned to me.Immediately I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and I could see in his eyes as if I were his prey, I was very careful to keep my breathing even, without showing any reaction.I remember what I said to Alex last nig

Sophia POV"Sophia..." Achilles called me softly, and I could feel his pain in that call."Is that why you called me here? To tell me that I have no choice?" I clenched my fingers tightly."Yes, you do." This time it was Alex who spoke, and I turned my face to meet his eyes. "There's a ritual... You can reject it if you want."I know that neither Achilles nor Helios are satisfied because they both let out loud growls."But once you've done it, there's no going back... You won't be able to regret it." Alex continued."Did you know that?" I rolled my eyes. "Of course, you knew... Otherwise, why would you have talked me out of it at the club last night?"

Sophia POVI stopped at the door and turned to look at the three of them."I'm fine... It won't be the first time I've been with more than one guy at the same time." This time I spoke seriously, not just to tease. "I'm fine with my choices... I've already told Alexandre a few times. I like a lot of things, and I don't mind one bit if someone finds out what I've done... But just so we're clear, since this seems to be a very important topic for you. I've had sex with women, I've had sex with guys, and I've definitely been to a few orgies in my life. I know how to use a whip and I know a lot of different kinds of knots, I've been on my knees in front of someone, just as I've had people kneel at my feet... If any of the things I've said are a problem for you two, then you'd better talk to each other about whether you want to give it a go, but under no

Khalid POVWe opened the door and saw Alex there, he had already tidied up the room, and then Hélios gently placed Sophia on the bed, as if she were the most precious and fragile thing in the world. My heart tightened seeing her so vulnerable. Despite everything we've been through, I still don't know if this will last, if this connection will remain intact when the storm passes.‘What will Sophia think when she wakes up?’ I thought to myself, feeling the weight of that doubt in my chest.I sighed, automatically adjusting my suit, just to keep my hands busy. My eyes turned to Hélios, who now observed Sophia with a serene expression, something rare to see in him. I was still impressed at how someone so explosive and unpredictable could seem so calm at that moment.“No, I didn't know… At least not with 100% certainty, but I already suspected that something like this could happen.” Hélios finally turned to me, after adjusting Sophia better on the sheets. “What woke me up was feeling the b

Khalid POV“You are dismissed… For now.” Azrik spoke after a few seconds, his voice carrying undeniable authority.His expression was one of suspicion, a glimpse of doubt that he couldn't openly express, as, at that moment, he had no concrete proof to support it. Nevertheless, his sharp eyes analyzed every detail, every remnant of truth hidden in the gestures of those present.“Soon, I will contact you regarding the punishment for Alpha Ivar Volkheim and his pack.” Azrik turned to Ivar, his gaze assessing and relentless.“Will she be okay?” Ivar asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.“Yes, she just needs to rest.” It was Aquiles who answered, with the usual calmness that characterized him.“I will analyze the information I obtained from the ritual and about the possible spells Gáta may have cast on Ivar and his pack.” Shangō declared, his tone firm, walking towards Ivar, who bowed in respect to the magnitude of his power.“We will wait.” Hélios replied, making an educated bow,

Khalid POVBefore I could get an answer, a sharp, piercing pain shot through my chest, as if an invisible blade was tearing me apart from the inside. My gaze shot to Sophia. She was kneeling inside the circle, her eyes wide, her body trembling in involuntary spasms. A trickle of blood ran from her mouth, followed by an intense flow from her eyes, nose, and chest. The metallic smell spread through the air, permeating every corner of the hall.I stood up immediately, my instincts screaming in alarm. I placed myself between Aquiles and Hélios, a firm barrier preventing any rash advance."No!" My voice came out firm, unquestionable, filled with determination.At the same time, Ivar stood up and took a determined step towards Sophia. But something was different about him. His gaze, once filled with arrogance and superiority, now showed genuine concern. His aura was no longer as oppressive, and his stance seemed to differ from the ruthless man he had become over the years."Naomi!" He calle

Khalid POVI know I said I don't care about seeing Sophia in the arms of others, but the truth is it hurts, but I shouldn't do anything about it, on the contrary… I must remain faithful to my words.I have known since the first moment I realized I am in love with this woman, that the rest of my life would be an eternal torture. That I would never have her in my arms and would always see her in the arms of others.I know that Azrik is paying attention to my actions, I couldn't hide the sad smile, but it lasted only a short time before I controlled myself, but I found it interesting that Hélios doesn't care about what I am doing.His reaction is the calmest possible, he just looks at Sophia embracing Aquiles with a gentle and loving smile on his lips. I know he noticed my sad smile, but he didn't do anything about it.Definitely, Hélios knows that I would never act in a way to hurt Sophia, I have done many things to protect her and it wouldn't be now that I would change my attitudes.Af

Achilles POVI can feel the moment Sophia pulled my energy and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that my mate is well, that she is conscious and that is already a great victory for me, because every second we stand still, unable to do anything, is agony.A few minutes later, the side door opened and I saw Azrik enter alone, he looked at Gáta who, before he could say anything, disappeared in a small purplish-green cloud.Seeing that color and feeling that pressure, I know that Gáta is involved with the curse, somehow she manages to pull energy from the Mother of Monsters. Khalid had said that the name for people involved in the cult of the Ancient Gods was “Cultists” and Gáta is definitely one of those people.The dragon's aura spread like fire spreading through a dry forest, but Hélios' aura protected me from the damage it could cause, especially since I am not at full strength.Boreas is doing his best to keep the connection with Sophia open and I know that if it weren't for that, m

Sophia POVDespite his charged and imposing aura, I did not bow, for doing so would mean being afraid… I did just the opposite, I looked into his yellow, almost golden eyes, and whatever happens from now on, I cannot be afraid, for that could bring agony and reveal many secrets.“My name is Azrik Ragnharsen, I am the Elder of the Dragons and Judge of the Council of Races.” The voice of this man is hoarse, low, and has a different timbre than I have ever heard, it even has a strange sophisticated touch. “And you, despite your appearance, you don't seem like an innocent and fearful girl, as I was led to believe.”“That girl was called Naomi Blanchet… I am Sophia Turner, the head nurse at Gillian's Memorial… The Beta of the Moon Warriors pack and the woman who killed some of her enemies point-blank.” I spoke with determination, still holding my head high.It is difficult to identify the emotions on that man's face, but I managed to perceive a slight expression of pride.“Are you in your
Reborn from Ashes Invisible Marks
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
