42Jenny’s POV.I carried my phone, staring at the screen for the umpteenth time for any information about Sophia. She had gone to Ian’s house yesterday and she hasn’t come back yet. Today was Saturday. She never said that she was going to spend the night at his house and besides, she had texted me yesterday that she was coming back home. So why hadn’t she come back?I sighed, dialing her number as I have been doing since yesterday night when she hadn’t arrived. It was the same outcome. She wasn’t picking up her calls which was getting me really worried.I dialed her number once again. She still didn’t pick. I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair and sent her a quick text, asking where she was.She had sent me her location when she was leaving for his place so I had decided that if she isn’t back here in the afternoon and she hasn’t replied my texts or called back then I’d have no choice but to go to his house and make sure she was still there.I stood up from my bed and walked to

43Sophia’s POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open and I tried to move, but my hands and legs were bound. I was tied to a wooden chair. Fuck.All the memories started rushing back to me slowly and I tried to make sense of all that was going on right now but I wasn’t sure I could. The only thing my head could comprehend right now was the fact that I had been kidnapped. But I didn’t know why. And I didn’t know by who.Why would someone kidnap me? Or was it Ian? Did he do it because he thought they I was going to reveal his secret? If he thought that then he was terribly wrong. I wasn’t interested in revealing his secret to anyone. In fact I wasn’t interested in anything that had to do with him.My chest was hurting seriously and there was a lump in my throat. I knew I was about to cry and I couldn’t help it. I had fallen in love with Ian. I knew I had fallen in love with Ian. But now I was just finding out that I had fallen in love with a monster. It was a harsh reality to comprehend. I had

44Ian’s POVI watched as Jenny paced round the living room, her hand running through her hair tiredly. I could understand her worry. If it was Mike or Jacob that was missing, I’d probably be doing worse than she was.I looked at Jacob, whose eyes was on her in a predatory manner. The same way his first instinct was to kill Sophia after she heard our conversation, his first instinct was to wipe Jenny’s memories so she wouldn’t be here. But something was compelling me to trust Jenny. That I could trust her with everything that was going on, although I didn’t know how I was going to drop everything on her that Sophia had left after finding out I was a vampire. It wasn’t something I could just dump on her like that.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.My heart wouldn’t stop beating so fast. I feared that Sophia was already harmed. And I didn’t understand why the men who had been shadowing Sophia hadn’t reported back. They should have seen when she was kidnapped. How come they

45Sophia’s POVSlowly, my eyelids fluttered opened and I winced. Bright light. Bright burning light. It was too much. A groan escaped my lips as I turned around on the hard floor, my nose twitching at the scent of something metallic. Something liquid. I just rolled into it.Slowly my eyes came into focus and I realized what it was. Blood. It was blood.My head began to ache seriously as everything began to rush into me. All the memories. And a gasp escaped from me. I was in my own blood. I was alive, but I was supposed to be dead.How was I alive? This wasn’t supposed to be possible…I was supposed to be dead. Freya killed me. A light sob escaped my lips as my hand flew to my throat, the place where Freya had decided to slot my throat but it was all closed up. My throat wasn’t torn open. There wasn’t any ugly scar there…it was closed. Smooth. Like she hadn’t cut my throat at all.I gulped, my hands running through my hair as I sat on the floor. My eyes was still struggling to adjust.

46Sophia’s POVMy whole body was still, and I was trying to process all that was happening. Ian was standing there, Freya’s heart in his hand while he held my stare. Just about a moment ago I was the one standing under the sun, burning, and then his brother was holding me, keeping me safe in the dark once again.It was hard to understand. Hard to process. How was I supposed to process this anyways? How was I supposed to process the fact that I was now one of them? I was now a creature of the night? And that Ian had just ended someone’s life…because of me?“How long have you been here?” He asked, his voice cold and detached as he dropped her heart on her lifeless body and took a step closer to me. I gulped and took a step back but collided straight into Jacob’s rock-like body. My brain was still trying to process all that was happening, and it was doing a very bad job at it.Ian’s eyes dropped to where Jacob and I’s body was touching each other and he clenched his jaw. That was when I

47Jenny’s POVI paced around Ian’s home, staring at the clock in annoyance and counting the hours in which they had been gone. It’s almost twelve hours and they still aren’t back yet. I couldn’t bring myself to remain calm because all I could think of was if Sophia had been harmed.If she was…dead. It hurt me to think like that but I didn’t have the choice but to think like that. Whether I liked it or not, I had to prepare my mind for all the bad news that could come with their return. She could be dead. Something terrible must have happened to her. I just hoped it wasn’t the case but now I couldn’t get that out of my head.And in the same way, I couldn’t get what Ian had told me out of my head. They were vampires. He was the king of their realm. King of their realm! That felt so surreal. I didn’t know what to believe and what not to. And I knew I wouldn’t have believed a word from him if he didn’t show me himself.If his brother and those guys hadn’t moved in that inhumane speed whi

48Ian’s POVThe last twenty – four hours had been terrible for me. From me having to tell Jenny what we really are, to finding Sophia burning in the sun, to me killing Freya. The realm was In chaos. That was certain. And that wasn’t what I needed at the moment.All I wanted was to try and help Sophia adjust to this new lifestyle but right now I had to leave her alone to settle matters with Jacob and talk to Mike.I could tell that she was having a very hard time adjusting to her new life as a vampire and I couldn’t blame her. She was turned barely twenty four hours of her finding out that people like me were in existence. She didn’t even understand what Vampires were like, and then Freya changed her into one.I’m guessing part of the fault was from me. I was the one who mixed my blood with the tea I had given her to drink but at the same time I was grateful I did that because if I didn’t then she’d be dead by now. Really dead. Gone. I wouldn’t see her again. I wouldn’t get to tell he

49Sophia’s POVI was waiting. Waiting for my skin to burn. Waiting for me to catch fire. Waiting for me to turn to ashes. I was just waiting. But it didn’t seem like that was going to happen.I’ve been sitting here for hours and it hasn’t happened anyways. But it didn’t mean it still couldn’t happen. I knew it could. Lyanna could probably reverse the spell and just kill me.I wanted it to happen anyways. Because I couldn’t face Jenny. I couldn’t handle being in front of Jenny without thinking of how I was going to rip her throat out.It wasn’t just her. I had almost attacked Lyanna earlier too. When she was trying to start a conversation with me. I was barely able to hold myself back and I doubted I’d be able to hold myself back when it came to Jenny.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and sighed, rubbing my face.I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what to do or what to say. I was very confused. I couldn’t focus on one thing. Not with all this noise. It was too lou
