21 - A direct invitation 1
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."
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.

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?"
Reborn from Ashes 28 - Explanations
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

Sophia POV"Look, we're not going to do this... Only when we're sure that this is what we want." Achilles said, but I didn't like it."It's a horrendous crime to mark someone against their will. When that happens, instead of having a tattoo that symbolizes our souls, there will be a stain." Perseus said, and I relaxed a little."The fucking part will be fun, but this... This..." I couldn't even finish speaking, already feeling more dizzy."Don't worry. We're not even at the stage of spending the night together." Achilles spoke with a certain remorse, and then I remembered the night before and turned my face away."I don't want to go through what I felt last night," I spoke with as much strength as I could muster
