Chapter 106

• Ian’s POV
• The silence of the vampire realm used to be calming to me. It was a contrast to the noisy chaos of the human world. But tonight, the stillness was oppressive. The moment I left Lyanna’s apartment, her words echoed in my mind like a storm building on the horizon. Sophia was from an ancient bloodline? And not just any bloodline—one that could shake the foundations of our world?
• I moved through the dark corridors of the palace, my steps quick and quiet. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had unleashed something I didn’t fully understand.
