Sophia POVI'm in a different and strange place.. I don't understand and I can't make sense of it... I know it's not natural, or at least, I don't think it is... It could possibly just be my imagination. My logic tells me that I'm in a coma.I know that there are several reports of supernatural encounters while in this state, but to me, it always seemed to be the imagination of someone who wants to give meaning to something we can't explain.The difference is that now I know that Gods and supernatural creatures and beings exist. This is causing a war in my mind as my rational self and the atheist part of me doesn't want to accept this fact so easily. I am finding it more and more undeniable the longer I'm here. I feel myself drifting to a very far and distant place, my body growing colder the further I go. I know that I will reach a place where I will no longer be able to turn back.It's tiring to keep fighting because I've already suffered so much and this whole situation with Ac
Sophia POV"What happened?" I ask confused. My mind is scrambled. I don’t even remember anything from the last time I was awake."You slept for five days." I hear Khalid's voice say.I turned the rest of the way to see him.'That time. The voice.’ I thought and tilted my head to the left."There's something..." I whisper. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, feeling a twinge a little further back, near the top of my head.I know where it is... The lower left parietal lobe... Near, but not near where the memories are stored."Sophy..." Perseus' voice calls me and I open my eyes to look at him.He has a handkerchief in his left hand, which he hands to me. Only then do I realize that my nose is running."I've prepared a little potion to help you recover," Khalid says, approaching me and holding out a small vial of red liquid for me to take."Minor life potion, 1d4 life," I said with a low laugh and took the vial from him.I drank it all down in one gulp. It really does taste like bloo
Achilles POVI understand what Sophia is saying, as well as what Perseus is feeling. He's used to leading and making all the decisions but Sophia is the Luna of the pack, and she's bound to make decisions that Perseus won't agree with.I approach Perseus, putting my hand on his right shoulder and let my energy flow into him to calm him down. He knew what I was doing and didn't fight it. I felt him start to relax.Khalid thanked me briefly with a nod of his head, he then picks up his cell phone and looks at the screen."Gáta is asking if she can open the portal here, to my location," Khalid asked."It can." Perseus leaves the room and I immediately feel the atmosphere around us change.It's almost like static electricity, but different. I can feel the magic on my skin and on the tip of my tongue. A bluish portal appears next to Khalid., iIt's a very bright circle with bluish lines that warp in a circular motion. Shortly after its appearance, a woman steps out of it.Gáta has long blac
Perseus POVIt's been two days since the events, but we still have no answers... Just the assumption that Sophy is cursed, and the witch refuses to say anything before my mate wakes up.The news that we had a witch in the pack spread like wildfire. I had to hold an emergency pack meeting to explain the situation to everyone. I told the pack that I had made an alliance with the witch so that she could help Achilles and Sophy wake up and that what they had sensed was her using her power to help our betas out of hibernation.Since Achilles was awake, it helped my subordinates to calm down. Things were happening too fast. My father hadn't stopped with the idea of the Gay Parade, and Khalid now knew about our covert operations.I know I have to adapt, but it's very difficult when I have no other alternative but to accept. Achilles is my greatest support at the moment. I've spent hours talking to him and I feel more and more at ease.Achilles isn't just my friend, he's also my mate now, and
Sophia POVI'm tired. Achilles and Perseus won't stop fighting, their auras are weighing heavily on my body and mind. Sometimes I can hear their thoughts as well, which confuses me because I can't even hear myself. "It's like cancer..." I whisper to myself and lower my head putting my hand on my chest. I may not feel the power of the curse yet, but I know it's there... "A malignant cancer that will metastasize and destroy everything, no matter who it hurts in the process."I try to block out any other external noise, focusing exclusively on trying to understand what's going on with me. As much as I find myself surrounded by supernatural creatures, magic, and more, my logical mind still won’t accept it."At the moment the curse is almost imperceptible, but it's certain to grow faster now that it's been exposed." I continue talking to myself. "Many doctors say that cancer has a life of its own and that's why it's so unpredictable. As soon as you just poke it, it turns into a monster.
Khalid POVIf I hadn't lived so long, I would let it be known how much Sophia's decision affects me, because it gives me hope... Something I can't nurture, because I see how much these three love each other and Sophia will never look at me the same way.It would be a betrayal for me to court her... Something that goes against everything I believe in... If Perseus and Achilles were the idiots who hurt her, then I wouldn't care, but it's just the opposite, they're willing to do anything to help her.I know it's going to get harder and harder to resist, even more so if she's not united with others because of the bond. My Daemon is laughing at me because he loves to see me suffer in this type of situation since it doesn't happen often.'My dear... It is you who got carried away and now, here you are complaining... I warned you right at the beginning to be careful... You didn't listen, so stop whining!'My Daemon sneers. I have to stop myself from sighing. I know Alex suspects something af
Perseus POVI know I should be more patient... that I should improve my emotional intelligence, but how can I do that when the woman I love wants to reject me? As soon as she suggested it, I couldn't help feeling angry and hurt.There are too many things for me to take in at once. Besides, Helios is quiet, I haven't heard from him since I woke up. I can feel that he's still with me, but his presence is dim as though he's very tired.It is highly likely as we were in a coma for a long time and I don't remember much of anything. I know, for a fact, that something did happen because I remember feeling that Helios wasn’t with me, which left me with a feeling of apprehension and sadness as I didn't know if he would come back.I take Sophy's hand and bring it to my lips, not wanting the sparks to disappear. I sense that she doesn't like it when I lose control or when I act jealous.“I'm going to miss being able to feel you in my chest... Sharing our feelings... Our connection is perfect, a
Sophia POVMy chest hurts. It's been a constant pain since I woke up after my mates made their promise. I try not to let it get to me and not pass the pain onto them, but sometimes it gets too strong and they worry.“Let's bring in a heart monitor.” Dr. Ioannidis said.I know that Achilles and Perseus suggested it, so I won’t make a fuss over it, there’s been enough fighting, and if it brings them peace, then I’ll accept it. I need to give in too so that our bond isn't lost.“First,” Dr. Ioannidis continues, “I'd like to do an MRI, to check that your internal organs are alright, as well as examine you for scars from previous surgeries that you've undergone and try to ascertain whether you do, indeed, have any transplanted organs.” He finishes.Once the rejection ritual was agreed on, we discovered that there was so much more that needed to be investigated and taken into consideration. Doing the MRI and running a few tests, would help in providing crucial information before the ritual
