Chapter 123

• Jenny’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.

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?
