Rising from the Ashes

Breaking her

Chapter 6

Sophia’s pov

I had been doing so many things for so long that I knew it needed to stop at some point soon before it all blew up in my face. I knew I needed to find a way to place all of the blame for my deed on Regina, and the perfect time was her 18th birthday.

I had dosed dad for so many years that he no longer knew the difference between up and down. I did feel slightly bad, as I didn’t want to hurt him, I just wanted him to love me more than everyone else. I also wanted to be more liked by everyone than Regina was.

I didn’t like the fact that Mum still loved her so much that it was breaking her relationship with dad either. Why couldn’t she just listen to him and remove Regina from her life too, then they could be happy together. She was hurting dad acting like this.

Tamara has drifted away from me as well, but she would never go against me, so I don’t really care. Let her be happy with her lord mate, I had already had him, and he wasn't all that. She is happy to have him. A lord isn’t a high enough ranked mate for me. I want a Prince, prince August in particular.

I was already mates with our Beta’s son, the very one who took my virginity, I am so glad I started to take the masking potion the morning of my birthday. He was sexy and all, and one up from a lord being a future Royal beta, but still not what I was wanting to end up with.

I just need to get marked by August, and he will never know I was his mate, and he will be given his second chance. I also messed with August’s sister Raine, I never liked her that much as he always tried to get us to include Regina.

I had a suspicion that she would be his Julius’ mate. The closer it came to her 18th, the more curious his dragon was about her. Sometimes, the beast can feel a curiosity about their mate before they realise what they are to them. It mostly happens to the really powerful ones.

I slipped some masking potion into her drink, and she was upset when Julius didn’t try to claim her. I had already spread the seeds of doubt to her that he didn’t want his mate until he was older, and at that time, he was just 18 as well.

She believed me and has been avoiding him for over two years now. Anytime I know they will be in the same place, I slip her some more so he can not scent her out. It has confused him a few times as he thought he had smelled her only to be wrong.

He also couldn’t work out why she no longer wanted to be near him when they had been friends for so long. August didn’t know a thing about it, Raine was too embarrassed that her mate didn’t want her to admit it to anyone. It needed to come to an end soon as I think she may end up rejecting him.

See, I had far too many eggs in far too many baskets to keep this going for much longer. Once I had finished with Regina, she could be out of our lives for good. She can hide away in the underworld like the bottom feeder she is. It must be awful down there.

Mum had no idea that Regina would be back the day before her birthday, I only knew as I happened to hear grandma Tamara talking about it. I had talked Julius into going the day before, and he thought Raine was finally ready to tell him why she all of a sudden stopped speaking to him.

I made sure I got there an hour before him, and I told her that he was on his way with his new girlfriend that he was considering taking as a chosen mate. After I gave her a special drink to calm her nerves, I suggested she went and stayed with my sister Tamara for the night, and then she could confront him in the morning.

It worked a treat. Not long after she flew off, Julius arrived and was frantic trying to find her. I told him and August that I saw Regina taking her away in some strange portal and that I suspected that Regina had also been drugging her so he couldn’t scent her.

It worked out just as I imagined it. Julius and August went mad and searched the Palace to find Regina. Grandma was a bit frantic when they dragged her away, but August commanded her to keep her mouth shut and not to interfere.

By the time she was dragged to the cells, it had just turned past midnight, and lo and behold that bi.tch was August’s mate. He looked at her with total disgust. It thrilled me. Before he could reject her, I dragged him away from there.

“Why did you do that, Sophia? I don’t want to be joined to her for a second longer” he roared at me.

“She needs to pay for this August. Think of how much pain she has caused Raine. She could be having anything done to her right now. Julius will get answers, and we can have a bit of fun. The pain from us having s*x may loosen her lips” I said in my most innocent voice, trying not to smirk.

He didn’t look like he was going to go for it at first. I could see all the conflicting feelings pass across his face. I guess his wolf and dragon were arguing against it. So I pushed on, talking about all the times Raine had cried to me.

It finally worked, and with a face full of fury, he dragged me into his room. He was a good boy who had kept himself for his mate, but he was angry enough that he would still fu.ck me good. I liked it a bit rough anyway, and his co.ck is huge. I have seen it when he shifted before.

He was wild with anger and lust as he shredded my clothes with his claws. I was so wet with his display of power that I didn’t care at all he didn’t even try to give me any foreplay he just slammed right on in pounding me from behind.

I was just slightly pi.ssed off that he still had the foresight to put in a condom. I really wanted him to knock me up so he had to mark me. He was an honourable man who I knew would accept his responsibilities, I will have to try and get him another time as well.

I was so into him pounding into me from behind that I hadn’t even realised there was a reason he had picked this position. My wetness and orgasm disappeared instantly the second he moaned out Regina’s name and filled the condom.

He didn’t even realise that I was so far from satisfied that it was laughable. I still managed to smile and blow smoke up his a.ss in the form of compliments on his impressive skills. The moron bought it as well, but then he was still looking stunned that it was me and not her here.

Either way I had achieved my main goals, and I loved the fact that I had caused her so much pain fu.cking her mate and I couldn't wait to see her face when he rejected her, I was considering recording it so I could watch it over and over again whenever I was in need of a laugh.

He barely looked at me as we got dressed, but he still gave me something of his to wear, and we left without showering, so we were drenched in each other’s scent. I knew it would hurt her even more when she smelled us.

“She hasn’t admitted to anything yet. The only noise I her was one yelp in pain, and smelling you two I can guess what that was about, I am surprised she could hide the pain so well” Julius says as we walk in.

“Tell me what you did with my sister, or I will reject you now” August said loudly, as she laughed, she actually laughed, and not in I have lost my mind way, in a sarcastic fu.ck you kind of way.

“Go ahead then, I didn’t do anything to Raine, but once again, everyone will believe Sophia’s lies. One day, you will all know the truth” she says, and her eyes look dead. It is quite freaky, and I can’t help the shiver that runs down my body. So I put on the waterworks and fein innocence again.

“Fine, don’t blame me. This is your own doing. I, Julius Infernus, reject you Regina, Ignatus as my mate and future queen” he says before bending in pain.

“I Regina Ignatus, accept your rejetion removing all bonds between us. I also reject the family bond I have with Sophia and Julius Ignatus” she says in a monotone voice without a flicker of pain as all of us double over with the loss of the bond.

Sh.it, I never expected her to do this, I had no idea that it would be this painful, I don’t even like her, so why does it hurt not being bonded anymore as sisters. As we stumble out of there, I can’t help but notice just how calm and relieved she looks.

“You are in so much pain because she is a phoenix, being her sister strengthened us even if we didn’t deserve it. I told you to leave her alone and to accept our mate, but you didn’t listen. If you don’t apologise to her and accept our mate, I will leave you” my dragon Hestia says angrily to me when we are in our room before she shuts off our connection.

Sh.it, I can’t do that, I have already told dad she is locked up, and I will be in too much sh.it if I admit what I have done. Maybe I can cut my losses and say she drugged me. If I say I will accept our mate, maybe Hestia will keep her mouth shut and stay with me. I have a feeling I may have gone too far this time.
