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

191Ian’s POVThe weight of my child in my arms was heavier than I expected, but not in a way that tired me. It was a weight that filled me with awe, a kind of responsibility I had never imagined could feel so peaceful. Ava’s tiny fists curled against my chest, soft breaths rising and falling in the perfect rhythm of sleep. For the first time in what felt like forever, everything was still, everything was peaceful.I sat in the rocking chair near the window, dim light filtering thought the curtain. The house was quiet—Sophia was resting in the bedroom, exhausted but content after the birth. I had barely left her side since she’d gone into labor, unable to help the overwhelming sense of protectiveness that surged through me.But now, as I held this tiny life in my hands, all the fear and chaos we had gone through seemed to fade away. It was just us—our family.“Hey there,” I whispered softly, my voice barely more than a breath as I gazed down at my child. “You’re finally here.”I felt

190Jenny’s POVThe news hit me like a tidal wave. I stared down at the test in my hand, my heart pounding in my chest, unsure whether to scream in shock or laugh in disbelief. Pregnant. I was pregnant.Jacob was in the kitchen, making us a late breakfast. I could hear the soft clatter of pans and the gentle hum of music from the living room, but I couldn’t move. For a moment, I felt frozen in place, my thoughts racing.We weren’t trying for a baby. We weren’t ever going to try. I was a vampire and even though Sophia was able to get pregnant, it didn’t mean I could too. But here it was, plain as day. The test didn’t lie.I felt a mixture of emotions swirl through me—happiness, fear, excitement. All at once, it seemed like everything in my life was about to change. But most of all, I was happy. I was so happy. Everything that had happened the past year ran through my mind all at once. The attacks, falling in love with Jacob, turning into a vampire, fearing that Jacob would leave me for

189Sophia’s POVIt was happening. It was really happening. After months of waiting, months of uncertainty, fear, and hope, she was finally here. My body was aching but not as much as I guessed it should be.I glanced over at Ian, who stood by my side, his hand gripping mine tightly. His face was filled with anxiousness. His thumb rubbed small circles against my palm, trying to soothe me, but I could feel the tension in his grip. This was a moment that neither of us could control, a moment we could only experience.“You’re doing amazing, Sophia,” Ian whispered, his voice low and steady, although it was trembling. His eyes met mine. “Just breathe.”I nodded, though the pressure in my abdomen made it hard to do anything other than focus on the next breath. I squeezed his hand in response, letting him know I heard him, even if I couldn’t find the words right now.The room around us was a blur. I barely registered the blur of voices—the midwife, a nurse—guiding me through the process. My

188Jenny’s POVThe day had finally come—my wedding day. I should’ve been nervous, or maybe overwhelmed by everything, but instead, I felt oddly calm as I sat in the small room at the back of the church, waiting for my moment to walk down the aisle. My fingers traced the intricate lace on my wedding dress, a soft white gown that had been perfect the moment I saw it. It was exactly how I had imagined my wedding to be—simple, intimate, and with the people I cared about most.Sophia sat next to me, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “You look incredible, Jenny,” she said with a smile that reached her eyes.“Thanks, Soph,” I said, trying to sound nonchalant, but there was a catch in my throat. “It’s kind of crazy, isn’t it? That I’m actually doing this?”She laughed softly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “A little bit, yeah. I thought you were joking last week when you said you and Jacob are getting married. But you and Jacob are meant to be. I’m just happy you’re doing

187Ian’s POVThe sun was setting, making the vampire realm look pale. It used to be pretty to look at, but now the usual beauty felt hollow. Some parts of the ground was still red from all the blood that had dried on it, and though the air was quieter, it felt heavy. I stood in the middle of the courtyard, watching as the survivors moved about, trying to restore what had been broken.It wasn’t just the buildings that needed rebuilding. It was us—me, Sophia, the council, everyone.As the king, I had always known the weight and responsibilty of leadership but never like this. The battle exhausted on all of us, but there was a strange sense of relief hanging in the air, as if the worst had finally passed. The constant fear was gone. For now, at least.I felt Sophia approach before she spoke. Her presence felt like a soft, steady energy that I could feel even when I wasn’t looking. She stepped beside me, her hand slipping into mine, and for a moment, we just stood there, side by side, lo

186Sophia’s POVThe air in the realm felt different after the battle settled down. The energy that pulsed through the vampire realm seemed dulled, weighed down by loss and grief. The rogue faction was defeated, but the victory felt hollow. So much had been sacrificed. Too much.I stood on the edge of the courtyard, looking out over the horizon. The sun was setting but I barely noticed its beauty. My thoughts were heavy with the weight of everything that had happened. Lyanna was gone. The thought of it felt like a punch to the chest every time it crossed my mind. She had saved us, saved me and our baby, but the cost was her life.“I can’t believe she’s gone,” I whispered to Ian, who was standing beside me, his hand resting on my shoulder.Ian’s expression was hard, his jaw clenched as he stared out at the horizon. He hadn’t said much since the battle ended, the stiffness in his body telling me how much he was struggling to keep his emotions in check.“She was one of the strongest witc

185Lyanna’s POVThe visions had been coming in waves—dark and scary. I’d seen this battle long before it arrived, the pieces falling into place, the danger coiling around us like a snake waiting to strike. But no vision had prepared me for this.The air was thick with the stench of blood and fury, and the sounds of bodies coliding with each other filled my ear. I was at the edge of the battlefield, my senses tingling with the power I held. Magic pulsed in my veins, begging to be released, but I held it back, waiting for the right moment. Timing was everything.In the distance, I saw Ian fighting Mike, lunging at each other, blow after blow. Ian was struggling, that much was clear. Mike was pushing him to his limits, and it took everything in Ian just to stay on his feet.And then there was Sophia. I could feel her fear from here, her desperation. She was with Jacob, fighting off a swarm of rogue vampires, her body slower than usual. Her own power was wearing out. The pregnancy was ta
Forbidden Lessons 184
184Ian’s POVIt felt as if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for the battle to begin. We were in a neutral territory, a clearing deep in the forest that was between the vampire realm and the outskirts of the human world. I could tell that the place had seen conflict before, the ground stained with the blood of wars long past. Now it would see another.I could hear the sounds of my forces assembling behind me—vampires sharpening their blades and stakes, speaking in low, tense whispers as they prepared for the fight that would start any moment from now. The weight of responsibility hung heavy on my shoulders. I had never wanted this, to be a king at war. But here I was, leading an army to stop a rebellion that threatened everything I had fought to protect.Sophia stood at my side, her eyes scanning the area. She was pale but resolute, and I could see the fire burning in her. Even now, pregnant with our child, she refused to leave my side. I had argued, pleaded with her t
Forbidden Lessons 183
183Ian’s POVI paced about in the room, my heart beating hard and fast and my mind running through different thoughts. Every moment felt like a taut wire, stretched thin between the safety I wanted for Sophia and the threats that I couldn’t fully shield her from. The attacks had slowed, but that only made me more nervous. It was like the calm before a storm, and I could feel the storm brewing.Sophia was sitting on the couch, her hands resting on the gentle swell of her stomach. Our child. It only made me think harder about all the different things I could do to keep Sophia out of danger.“We need to talk,” I said, breaking the silence.Her gaze met mine, steady but expectant. “I know what you’re going to say.”“I don’t think you do,” I replied, running a hand through my hair, frustration leaking into my voice. “Sophia, I need you to stay in the human realm. You and the baby—”“No,” she cut me off, her voice firm. “We’ve talked about this already, Ian. I’m not staying behind while yo
