Sophia POVI can already feel my stomach starting to complain of hunger, and I let out a low laugh, putting my hand on my stomach. When I come out of the bathroom, I can smell Perseus before I even see him and I smile happily as soon as I see him, the lighting thrown against his perfect face making my heart beat a little harder.Our gazes meet, and I'm sure he's happy to see me too. I notice his eyes getting a little darker and I bite my lower lip in the left corner because I want him to."Sophia..." Perseus says my name in a husky tone that makes me shudder and immediately sets me on fire.My nipples harden, and I know I'm getting wet. How is that possible? Just my name in his mouth is capable of making me like this, imagine when he touches me..."Perseus," I call him in a lower tone, opening my lips slightly, while my mind starts to have more sinful ideas and I don't even know if I'll be able to stop imagining that man enveloping me.Like a flash, Perseus now stands in front of me a
Sophia POV"I can help with that." I heard Khalid's voice and felt my two men tense up. "It won't end completely, but it will be easier if you control yourselves.""No!" Perseus was the first to reply, and I grabbed his shirt."How? How can you help?" I asked, still keeping my head against Perseus' chest, feeling my Alpha tense up even more."The blood... I can control some impulses." Khalid said.This is dangerous, I know it... Nobody needs to tell me that the more influence Khalid has over me, the worse it could be in the future. I listened to what Hyperion said, and I listened to Khalid's words, but could I trust him to that extent?"No... I don't want to." I replied, and Perseus relaxed. "Boreas and Achilles can control other people's emotions. I prefer to depend on him."Achilles kissed my head and let out a low laugh."Very few people have managed to figure that out so far." He whispered."It's not the first time you've used it on me or Perseus. I see you do it all the time with
Sophia POVI arrived at Hyperion's office. It's a medium-sized office, with a glass meeting table in the center, while on the other side, there's another table with a glass top, but the front is made of black metal, on the floor there's a black carpet with a full moon in silver, on the right side there are several bookshelves and on the other side there are transparent windows, but they're covered with insulin, so the sun doesn't get too intense in there."Welcome Sophia." Hyperion lifted his face from the computer. "Today I'm going to start with the basics, teaching you about the differences in titles."He stood up, and then I saw a handout in his hands."Here's a lot of information, separated by lessons." He began to explain."Just like at school." I held out my hand and took the booklet. I started leafing through it and saw some pictures, as well as symbols, and some titles, but I didn't stop to pay attention to anything."Open to chapter five," Hyperion asked me, and I answered.'
Sophia POV"It seems like everything is complicated, and we don't know much." I said and looked at Hyperion again. "So at least I want to focus on what I can learn and improve. I imagine you're going to try to find out what it is, just like Hyperion... If there's anything I can do to help, then I will, but as things stand I can't help at all." I tapped the booklet lightly. "I'll study more about how things work."So the morning passed and it was already lunchtime. Hyperion was a good teacher, any questions I had he answered straight away and if I didn't understand at first, he found another analogy, which is much better than many teachers I've seen.At the end of the lesson, I took the workbook to Achilles' room and didn't have any different encounters. I thought it would be a quiet day, but I think I'm being too op
Achilles POVSophia's way is very similar to mine, she questions everything and I like that, I like to see how active she is, and, of course, to see and feel how others react to her... The difference is that Sophia is more open than I am.As soon as we'd finished lunch, I saw that Perseus was very upset and that Helios was agitated, so before we left for training, it would be better if Sophia and Perseus spent some time together, so I made an excuse, and we went up to the penthouse.The surrounding air became heavier as we got closer to my room and as soon as I closed the door, Perseus wrapped Sophia's body around his, holding her by the waist with some strength, her body trembling slightly, but the woman just let herself go.She knows that Perseus needs th
Achilles POV"You forget that the bond is also between the two of you!" Hyperion spoke up. "You'll have to mark yourselves too! If you've accepted Sophia as being meant for you, then you must also accept each other! Which means you'll be attracted to each other."Sophia calmed down and pulled away."What happens now?" Her voice is shaky."My blood can block their scent on you." Khalid's voice echoed, and I turned my face to see him leaning against the wall, arms crossed. "If you take one drop a day, then the three of you can play, as long as there are no marks.""Without them having control, it won't work!" Hyperion turned into the vampire."That's not my problem!" K
Sophia POVThis rollercoaster of emotions is complicated to deal with, even more so for someone like me who has never been very stable and so used to taking medication, only now I can't take them and I need to get used to these drastic changes.I'm stroking Helios' fur and I feel so good, and that fear I have of Perseus seems to disappear. It's strange, I'm not afraid of Helios, even though I know he's just as explosive as Perseus."I think I know how to keep our relationship going and also to keep us together. When night comes, Helios can sleep with us instead of Perseus. One day it will be Helios and the next Boreas." Achilles' voice rang out.That sounds like a very valid answer to our problem."That'll work!
Sophia POVOf course, I've trained before, so I know the moves, and I'm certainly much happier when I hit the sandbag, it's always a good way to release anger and tension.I didn't think I needed it so much, but as soon as I started hitting the sandbag everything became lighter, and I increased the force with each blow, feeling the impact it had on my hand, my wrist and even my arm.I can see that I'm a lot stronger than usual by the way the sandbag deforms with each blow. After a few minutes I start alternating between punches and kicks, but I also first test how hard and how high I can kick, without doing anything too extravagant.The only thing missing is some music. After all, training without music is a bit boring, but I know it can distract me, so, fo
Sophia POVAchilles broke the kiss when both of us were already out of breath, but he descended his mouth along the side of my face, distributing kisses until he reached my neck, and there I felt an even greater shiver every time he grazed his teeth against the sensitive skin.In sync, Perseus gave a light bite to my left nipple, which made me moan even louder, while my entire body heated up. I brought my hand to Perseus' head and pressed it against my breast, while the other went behind, between me and Achilles, and I began to caress his hard dick.In response, Achilles pressed his teeth harder against my neck and I rolled my eyes, feeling an indescribable pleasure."Imagine when I can mark you." Achilles whispered and bit the tip of my ear."It will be wonderful." I replied automatically, because I'm sure it's the truth.Perseus moved his mouth away and Achilles held my face."Open your eyes wide." Achilles whispered, and then I looked at Perseus.My Alpha began to undress, I saw hi
Sophia POVBut from this chaste kiss, a new emotion began to take hold. I felt Perseus's hands on my back, and my skin tingled at the mere touch of his firm, warm fingers, tracing invisible paths on my skin. It was as if electricity pulsed between us. I slightly parted my lips, surrendering to the moment, and my Alpha soon took control of my mouth, as if he had been waiting for this silent invitation.Our tongues began to intertwine with speed, with force, with a hunger that could no longer be contained, while he made me suck in his air to breathe better. But there was a different fire, something beyond simple lust, something that began to consume me from within, because I wanted much more than just this kiss that burned like embers in my mouth.I took my hands from the back of his neck and slid them down to his shirt, feeling the muscles beneath the fabric, desperately wanting to remove it, because all I could think about was how his skin would feel against mine. I could already feel
Sophia's POVI parted my lips and felt air rushing into my lungs, and it was like breathing for the first time. My skin tingled, every nerve seeming to wake from a deep sleep, as if it had been imprisoned for ages. My chest rose and fell slowly, heavily, but filled with a warmth I didn’t recognize, it wasn’t the heat of fever or exertion... It was different, exotic, and complex...I opened my eyes and blinked several times as the light hurt them. Colors and shapes began to form in front of me as I raised my hands to shield some of the brightness. I felt my muscles stretch; the sensation was strange, not painful, not tingling, something entirely new. My whole body was lying against the marble floor.But I could understand: everything was new because this body had just been born, and I would need to get used to it. I saw my hand in front of my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was that my skin tone hadn’t changed, I was still fair-skinned. My fingers were slightly longer.In the backg
Sophia POVAs soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself in a gigantic space, so vast that I couldn't fully comprehend its size. It was as if I were an astronaut seeing the Earth from afar.I realized that as my mind adapted to this new dimension, things began to make sense. Walls of clay appeared, along with various doors and stairs. Many of the doors were already broken, with some pieces still hanging, but many parts had fallen to the floor where the door should have been. I also noticed broken chains.I walked to the nearest door and looked through the space where the door should have been. I noticed green smoke filling the room. I shivered, understanding what it meant—each door represented a creature I should have had, but which was now taken by the Mother of Monsters.My heart tightened as I looked around and saw so many broken doors, so many shattered chains, each representing a part of my soul that had been taken. Sadness began to set in, as many creatures would never see the lig
Sophia POV"You are a Chimera." Nina spoke again, in a gentler tone, like a kind teacher explaining to a child how things work. "Changing your appearance is not simple."Nina's words changed the atmosphere in the room again. Everyone fell silent, absorbing the weight of that statement. Achilles approached me, as if he could protect me from the truths that were about to come. Khalid just watched, with a serious expression."Alright, I understand." I said and felt Achilles hugging me from behind, his hands passing around my waist, a silent form of comfort. "Continue.""A Chimera is composed of several beings, several animals, mythological or not." Nina explained.And then she looked me up and down, analyzing every aspect of me, both physically and my soul, and I noticed a touch of melancholy in her eyes."And you have lost several since we first met." Nina explained.I felt a pang of pain in my chest, as I knew that meant I had died in agony each time one of those creatures left. Nina n
Sophia POVNina turned with the same grace that always surrounded her, her movements smooth like a silent dance. Her eyes landed on Alexandre, and to his surprise, her expression remained serene, unaltered, as if the words he had just spoken were no more than part of a trivial conversation.Alex was not prepared for such tranquility. The lack of reaction completely disarmed him, and I could see insecurity take over his features. Even his wolf, which had been animated and even aggressive, retreated inside him, as if shrinking before Nina's calm. All the aggressiveness that had emanated from him dissolved into the air."Interesting." Khalid said with a low laugh.Nina looked at him, and for a brief moment, I saw a subtle smile on her lips, but then she turned back to Alexandre again."My name is Alexandre." Alex introduced himself, almost stammering."I remember your presence in our laboratory." Nina replied, her voice maintaining a neutral tone.Alex nodded, not daring to speak. Nina's
Sophia POVKhalid nodded at my response. There was no questioning, no questions, and certainly no doubts, only understanding and acceptance. And that brought me a peace I didn't know I needed.This had always been my bond with Khalid, long before he became my mate… The vampire understood me on a different level from Achilles and Perseus, but that didn't mean something would happen between us.I had never thought of betraying my mates, I had never thought of Khalid as anything more than a good friend, only now, feeling the attraction of the bond, I started to feel this way, never before."When do you want this change?" Khalid asked me, his voice now carrying a more sensual tone, something I hadn't noticed before."As soon as possible!" I replied without needing to think much about it.I felt Achilles's body tense up, and I turned my head to look at him."You just woke up…" Achilles explained. "I don't want to put you in another coma… Your body is under a lot of stress."I sighed and he
Sophia POVI feel a shiver run down my spine with that phrase, something I didn't know was possible, because there's a different tone, it's not like Khalid telling me I'm an object, it was different…It was acceptance, certainty, as if, by calling me that, he was recognizing something beyond the physical, beyond desire, beyond the blood that pulses in our veins.He didn't see me as a possession, but as part of something ancient, sacred.My Shi. A phrase that meant our souls were connected…Maybe that's how I should have felt from the beginning with Achilles and Perseus, but I was different back then, I didn't know about this world and had to learn about everything…It's not that the connection between me and Khalid is stronger, but it's different… And this difference is glaring… Because Achilles and Perseus had to fight from the start to win me over…They were the ones who taught me about the Bond, the Balance, and what it means to be a mate, and in this difference, there's an added w
Sophia POVWaking up should be easy, but honestly? In my current state, it's not. My whole body aches, as if needles are penetrating my muscles, and I let out a groan of pain. But that only worsens the situation, as my head starts spinning, even with my eyes closed.I took deep breaths several times to try and make the sensation go away, until I felt my hands being held. The touch is gentle and loving, and I can feel the sparks of destiny taking effect, spreading through my wrists and up my arms, easing my pain.After a few seconds, I managed to blink a few times before focusing my gaze. I know I should pay attention to Achilles and Perseus, but what catches my attention is a completely different smell.It's a strange mixture, dark yet warm at the same time… It's like black amber, with myrrh, mixed with the dry heat of the desert at sunset, where the sand still holds the warmth of the sun, but the air begins to cool. There's a subtle scent of dried earth after rain, rare and sacred, m
