The One Night Stand Turns Out To Be My Professor

Ian’s POV

I paced around the house, running my hands through my hair in anxiety. I had come back from my mini vacation with Sophia two days ago and now Jacob and I were going to the realm with Mike and Lyanna.

Sophia was a quick learner, and now I was sure she knew how to fight and how to defend herself. If I wasn’t sure of that I wouldn’t have left her here all by herself and be going to the realm.

We had spent most of our time at the island training and now she was more or less like a pro now and that was what gave me peace of mind. I trusted her to take care of herself and Jenny while we were gone. I didn’t have to worry about her for a while.

However, what I was worried about was the realm. It has been a year since I last went there and now I didn’t know if things had changed and how many people now hated me since I left. I’d be stupid to think that I didn’t gain some haters when I left the realm.

I knew I had gained haters. And even more when I marked Sophia. But I was their king and they had no choice but to make do with whatever decision I made.

I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and continued pacing about the house.

“You need to calm down,” Lyanna murmured.

“I can’t be calm. I’m going back there after a year, a lot has changed and people might attack us,” I snapped.

“People will attack us,” Jacob’s deadpanned. “Maybe if you didn’t leave in the first place…”

“Now is not the time for you both to start attacking yourselves,” Mike grumbled, walking down the stairs. “Let’s go to the portal now.”

“You seem eager to be going back,” I noted and he shot me a look..

“I’m eager to get this over with and come back to me life here. I’m only going with you so I can protect you. Not like you cannot protect yourself,” he answered flatly, narrowing his eyes at me. “Now, if we have nothing else to do here, let’s go.”

“Sophia and Jenny—”

“Will be fine,” Lyanna cut me off with an impatient tone. “Mike is right. Some of us have a life here. I can’t stay in the realm forever and the earlier we get this done, the better.”

“Fine. Let’s go.”

The car ride to the vampire portal was quiet. The portal was in a forest that people barely visited because of it’s population of snakes and very wild animals. We didn’t mind because it was safe for us. Snake bites and animal bites weren’t dangerous for us. We could survive those. The lycanthropes weren’t allowed here. Thanks to the witches, even when the lycanthropes came here, they loosed their ability to turn and remain human until they left here.

The portal was a stone. It would go unnoticed to a normal human eye but we the supernaturals could see it.

Jacob looked at me for a split second, and then he crouched, touching the stone and he was gone. Mike wasted no time in doing the same.

“Are you gonna go first or should I go?” Lyanna asked flatly when I remained standing in front of the stone.

“You go first,” I answered and she touched the stone immediately. She was gone.

I told in a deep breath and then touched the stone too. I was sucked into an infinit darkness and all of a sudden, I was there.

The city was just like I left it. Not much as changed. Just everyone going about their business which stopped the moment they noticed us.
