Chapter 152

• Jacob’s POV
• The moonlight shimmered off the pavement as Jenny and I strolled down the quiet streets of the city, her hand tucked securely in mine. After everything that had happened—the attacks, the chaos in the vampire realm, the news of Sophia’s pregnancy, Aldric’s death—I wanted to give Jenny a moment to breathe, to feel human again. Hell, I wanted to feel human again, even if just for one night.
• I glanced over at her. She was smiling, but I could see the worry behind her eyes, the shadows of everything that had happened lingering just beneath the surface. It had only been a few months since she had been turned into a vampire against her will, and she was still adjusting. It took a lot of time to adjust. Some days were better than others. Tonight, I just wanted to see her happy, to make her forget the madness surrounding us, if only for a few hours.
