8Sophia’s POVA knock on the door had me jumping up from the bed and wrapping the blanket around my body and walking to the door.“Who’s there?” I asked cautiously.“Me, of course. Who else?” Jenny answered with the usual sass in her voice. I narrowed my eyes before unlocking the door and opening it. She stood outside, leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. A bag was slung over her shoulder and I suspected that was where she had kept my clothes.“Was the ‘d’ that good?” She asked as she pushed past me and walked into the room. I rolled my eyes again as I closed the door and locked it behind us.“Good morning to you to,” I answered with enough sass in my voice, just like hers.“You haven’t answered my question,” she murmured.“And you haven’t replied my greeting,” I answered her. “Why are you cranky this morning?”“Me? Cranky? Lol I’m not,” she said flatly as she took off the backpack and removed my clothes. She threw them to me and I caught them expertly. A shirt and a shirt.“Uh

9Sophia’s POVI got down from Jenny’s car and slammed the door shut before leaning down to the window level. “Thanks for the ride,” I told her with a grin.“Whatever,” she answered with an eye roll. “Walk straight and don’t let your mom suspect anything. I swear I will tell her you sneaked out while I was asleep.”I pouted. “So you’ll deny me?”“Yes,” she said without mincing words.“You still haven’t told me about what happened,” I reminded her.“What happened when?” She asked with a raised brow. She started the engine of the car and I could tell she was ready to speed off once the conversation doesn’t suit her anymore.“Yesterday night. With you and the guy you were dancing with,” I answered.“Nothing happened,” she replied flatly. “And I’ll talk to you later. And oh, please keep the pills well. I will not tell your mother that I was the one who took you there.”“And what will you tell her then?” I asked, raising a brow.“That you’ve been following bad friends of course,” she shrug

10Sophia’s POV*A week later*“Sophia!”I groaned, turning around on my bed and cuddling my teddy. I wasn’t ready to wake up. Not yet. And I didn’t understand why mother was waking me so early in the morning. I was done with school after all so I had enough time to sleep if I wanted. It was Sarah and Simon she had to be disturbing about school.“Sophie,” she called out again and the door to my room pushed open. “Why are you still sleeping?”“Why am I – mom, why not?” I mumbled sleepily.“Sophie, what’s the day today?” She asked.“Um…Monday?” I asked. “It’s Monday. You’re supposed to be with Sarah and Simon, not me,” I mumbled, snuggling mh teddy.“No, Sophie. Today is Sunday, you’re supposed to be backing,” she said with a sigh.“Packing?” I asked, opening an eye. “Packing for what? Ooh. Shit! I have completely forgotten about it!”I sat upright instantly and rubbed my face. “I’m sorry, I forgot.”“It’s fine,” she replied and smiled at me. “Good morning sweetie.”“Good morning mom,”

11Sophia’s POV“Wake up, sleepy head,” I said tiredly, tapping Jenny gently. She groaned, turning around on the bed and burying her face in her pillow. We had stayed up late, binge watching a series and stuffing our faces with junks. And now she was sleeping in and I was having some kind of stomach ache.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and tapped her once again. “Wake up. Jenny.”“What? Leave me alone,” she murmured, snuggling her pillow.“You’re gonna be late for class,” I said flatly and walked away from her then sat on my bed, taking calming breaths. I had already had my bath so all I just needed was to get dressed and leave for class.“It’s just the first day. It’s not really necessary to attend. And I don’t think they’d do anything anyways,” she groaned.“This isn’t high school, Jenny,” I reminded her. “We’re in college now. We need to be even more serious than ever.”“Yeah and why haven’t you left yet? You can’t seriously be waiting for me,” she murmured, sitting

12Sophia’s POV I couldn’t concentrate. I just couldn’t. And there was no way I could just leave in the middle of the class. I wasn’t even sure if he’d allow it.I raised my hand, wanting to run it through my hair in frustration but then I still had other classes and I didn’t want my hair to get messed up. I rubbed my face instead, thinking of all the things I could do. If I stayed in this class then there was a high chance that I was going to keep filing since I couldn’t even concentrate in his class.Fuck. This was so fucked up.What had promoted me to take the class in the first place? There was a high chance that if I hadn’t taken this class then he and I would never have crossed paths during my stay in this school.This stormy eyes landed on me and he locked gazes with me as he continued talking. I was forced to look away from him. I needed to stay away from him. I couldn’t continue taking this class when all I could think of was how good he felt I side of me and how much I want

13Ian’s POV Life had a way of fucking me over plenty of times in a way that I never see coming. Just like today. I hadn’t seen it coming. Yet it happened. Not once in my life did I ever see myself running away from a woman. Yet that was exactly what I had done today. I had run away from my own student. Just because she turned out to be the girl I had fucked last week in a club. The girl I had marked as mine.Ever since I stepped into that lecture hall, I could already scent her without even seeing here. There was no way that I could forget that scent. The same scent that had almost driven me crazy the past week.I ran my hands through my hair and slammed my hand on my desk in annoyance. This was way too frustrating.I kept brushing off the scent. I told myself that it was just another person who used the same body products as her and that was why they smelled the same. It was until I met her eyes and saw those striking green orbs, coily red hair and tiny dots of freckles, that I con

Ian’s POV I couldn’t help the terrible scowl on my face as I left my office and went to the lecture hall. Teaching history was one of my favorite things since I had come to the human world. It was fun, and I loved the look on my students faces whenever I told them something they haven’t even expected to hear before. Plus it helped me remember all that had happened since I was born. A very very long time ago.But why was getting me annoyed was the fact that I had to see her again today. She had run away after I saw her in that club last week and I hadn’t even seen her since then. I still didn’t know her name. I didn’t know how I was supposed to get her name. Maybe I’d have to ask one of the students, or I have to ask her directly.Or I could just devise a smarter way of getting her name. I’d have to think about that later. I should probably think about all the amazing historic things that I was going to teach the students today. But I wasn’t particularly in high spirits today. I haven

16Sophia’s POV I moaned softly, turning around on my bed and curling under my duvet. I opened my eyes sleepily. It was still dark. And there was a figure standing by the window. I closed my eyes and opened it back almost instantly. A figure.Who the fuck was that?I turned on my bedside lamp in fear as I sat up and looked around the room. There was no one here. Slowly I got up from the bed and walked to the window. The curtain was blowing wildly due to the breeze. And the windows were open. I didn’t remember leaving the windows open yesterday. But I also didn’t remember closing them.Maybe Jenny and I had forgotten to close the windows. And then I remembered Jenny didn’t spend the night with here. She was currently at someone else’s house. Maybe the hot guy who had piqued her interest this week. I closed them and walked to the bathroom to pee before going back to bed. It took me a while to get my mind to relax, because all I was thinking of was how I was going to study for my next hi

130Ian’s POVWe found her.The moment I caught her scent, faint but still there, it was as if the world narrowed down to that one thing—Sophia. Her pain, her suffering, all of it came crashing down on me, sharper and more real than anything I’d felt in my life. I didn’t say a word as I surged forward, faster than I ever thought possible, driven purely by the need to get to her. To save her.The place where they kept her was a decrepit warehouse, reeking of blood and decay. It didn’t matter. None of it mattered except her. I could hear the low voices of the men inside, smug and unbothered, unaware that death was coming for them. I could feel both Jacob and Jenny behind me along with some of my most trusted men. I closed my eyes tight, inhaling and trying to get my mind in the right place before I barged in and killed them all. I kicked the door in with a force that sent it flying off its hinges.The room was dimly lit, filthy, and reeking of pain. And there she was, chained in the cor

129Ian’s POV.I was losing my mind.Days had passed since Sophia had been taken, and every moment she was gone felt like a thousand knives twisting inside me. The search parties I had sent out were turning up with nothing. We had scoured every inch of the vampire realm and beyond, using every resource, every contact I had, but still, nothing.I couldn’t even focus. My thoughts were a constant barrage of worst-case scenarios. The thought of her being hurt, tortured, or worse—dead—was a poison spreading through my veins. I’d promised to protect her, and now she was out there, somewhere, suffering because of me. I was her king, her protector, and I’d failed her. It was a failure I couldn’t accept.“Anything new?” I asked Jacob, my voice tight with desperation as he walked into the room. I could tell from his face that the answer was no.Jacob shook his head, his expression grim. “We’re still searching, but—”“I don’t want to hear excuses,” I snapped, my voice louder than I intended. The

128Sophia’s POVMy head throbbed as I slowly came to consciousness, the world around me spinning in a haze of confusion. My body felt like it was on fire, every nerve screaming in pain. I tried to move, but my arms were bound tightly behind my back, my wrists raw from the rough rope. A sharp metallic taste lingered in my mouth—blood, my blood.Where am I?The room around me was dark, cold, and smelled of damp earth. I struggled to focus, but my mind was clouded, drifting in and out of consciousness like a bad dream. Every time I tried to concentrate, the fog pulled me back under. I didn’t know how long I’d been here or how many times they had moved me. I only knew one thing: I was in deep trouble.A sudden movement snapped me back to awareness. Footsteps. Heavy, deliberate. I tensed, my heartbeat quickening. I couldn’t see them, but I knew they were close. My captors. Whoever they were, they’d been keeping me in this state for what felt like days—dosing me with some kind of drug that

127Ian’s POVThe pain in my shoulder throbbed, a dull ache spreading through my entire body as I pushed myself upright. My vision blurred for a moment, the effects of the werewolf bite still lingering. Everything felt wrong. Sophia was gone, taken, and I had been left behind. The thought of her, out there with those monsters, twisted my insides with a mix of anger and fear. I could sense Jacob and Jenny here with me but I didn’t know when they had come in here.“Where is she?” I muttered, my voice hoarse as I tried to push away the haze of pain.Jacob appeared in front of me, his face tight with worry. “We don’t know. The werewolves retreated after they took her.”That statement alone ignited a burning rage within me. I staggered to my feet, gripping the edge of the table for support. My body screamed at me to stop, to rest, but I couldn’t afford to. Sophia was out there. Alone. In danger. And I had failed to protect her.I swore under my breath, the bitterness of it sitting heavy on

126Sophia’s POVThe darkness of the night surrounded us, thick and silent. Ian and I had fallen asleep in the vampire realm’s castle, wrapped in the warmth of each other’s arms. For once, everything seemed peaceful. The council’s constant pressures, the growing threat of rebellion—it all felt non-existent. In this room, it was just Ian and me.But peace, I was learning, never lasted.I stirred awake, not because of a sound, but because of a feeling. Something wasn’t right. My instincts had been sharpening ever since I became a vampire, and right now, they were screaming at me. I sat up slowly, blinking into the darkness, my heart pounding. I glanced over at Ian, still sleeping beside me, his face calm and unbothered.That’s when I heard it.A low, guttural growl echoed from just outside the window, followed by the sound of something—or someone—scraping against stone. My breath hitched, and I moved to shake Ian awake when the window shattered.Glass rained down on us as dark, hulking

125Ian’s POVI walked out of the chamber, going after Sophia, my chest rising and falling heavily while I made sure to keep my senses alert just in case Aldric wanted attack from behind. I wouldn’t put it past him. It was something he could do. In his moment of rage he could forget that Sophia was with me and she was not tm be harmed.I sucked in my lower teeth, my heart pounding hard and loud in my ear. Truth be told, Sophia had been very reckless. Very reckless with the stunt she just pulled. Didn’t she understand that I was doing my best to keep her safe and so that the council wouldn’t see her as a threat? Why did she have to go and destroy my efforts with that stunt? Why didn’t she realize that it was exactly what they wanted, and she fell for the trap.I ran my hands through my hair as I finally found her standing in the balcony of her room.I opened my mouth to speak but she beat me to it. “If you’re here to scold me, just do it and get on with it please,” she murmured icily.

124Sophia’s POVThings weren’t going the way I had expected them to go. I didn’t know if it was safe to say that things were going terribly wrong. I didn’t like all that was happening. First it was m with the whole new powers I didn’t know about, then Jenny getting kidnapped and turned against her will, now it was the council not accepting that she was one of them. They kept calling her ’human”. And it irritated the shit out o me.“Ian, I’m sorry but this girl has to go,” one of the ladies said through gritted teeth. I didn’t know her name. I hadn’t ever bothered. There was no reason for me to. However, I did recognize Viktor and Aldric. And I needed to have a word with them. Especially Aldric who seemed to have taken on Viktor’s talkative role.“She cannot,” Ian snapped.“Are you being for real right now?” The lady snapped, her eyes narrowed on Ian. “She is so fucking disrespectful. She doesn’t know her bounds. She will cause harm for us!”I studied the lady. She looked like she was

123Jenny’s POV I had always imagined the vampire realm as something grand, magical even. Maybe a mix between some ancient gothic castle and a supernatural paradise. But as I stepped through the portal with Jacob, Ian, Sophia, and Lyanna by my side, I couldn’t help but feel… underwhelmed.It wasn’t terrible, sure, but it wasn’t the breathtaking spectacle I had built up in my head. Dark, gloomy, and cold, the place looked like a knockoff medieval village with way too much stone and far too little color. If vampires were supposed to be these all-powerful, ageless beings, you’d think they’d have upgraded their décor a bit by now. I mean, come on, hadn’t they ever heard of modern architecture? Or at least a pop of color?“This is it?” I muttered under my breath, side-eyeing Jacob, who clearly heard me.His lips twitched, but he didn’t say anything. Just squeezed my hand a little tighter.“Welcome to the vampire realm,” Lyanna said, her tone flat as she gestured ahead. “It’s not about aes

122Jenny’s POV I paced back and forth in the living room, my nerves bouncing around as if they had a life of their own. My fingers kept twisting the hem of my shirt, and I couldn’t stop myself from glancing at the door every few seconds. Jacob and Ian were finally coming back from the vampire realm, and even though I knew Jacob would be fine—he was always fine—it didn’t stop the nagging feeling in my chest. Things had been tense lately, and I couldn’t help but wonder what they’d come back with.When the door finally opened, my heart skipped a beat. Ian walked in first, his usual calm aura in place, followed by Jacob, who looked a little more stressed than usual. I could tell by the tightness around his eyes and the way his jaw was clenched. My heart leapt when I saw him, though, and a huge part of me just wanted to run into his arms, to wrap myself in him and forget about everything else. But the air between us had been different since I… changed. Since the kidnapping.Ian caught my
