Sophia’s POV

Things weren’t going the way I had expected them to go. I didn’t know if it was safe to say that things were going terribly wrong. I didn’t like all that was happening. First it was m with the whole new powers I didn’t know about, then Jenny getting kidnapped and turned against her will, now it was the council not accepting that she was one of them. They kept calling her ’human”. And it irritated the shit out o me.

“Ian, I’m sorry but this girl has to go,” one of the ladies said through gritted teeth. I didn’t know her name. I hadn’t ever bothered. There was no reason for me to. However, I did recognize Viktor and Aldric. And I needed to have a word with them. Especially Aldric who seemed to have taken on Viktor’s talkative role.

“She cannot,” Ian snapped.

“Are you being for real right now?” The lady snapped, her eyes narrowed on Ian. “She is so fucking disrespectful. She doesn’t know her bounds. She will cause harm for us!”

I studied the lady. She looked like she was the youngest amongst all the people sitted here in the council and with the way she dresses, I could tell she frequented the human world.

“She was disrespectful because you all refused to show her some respect too. You can’t be insulting her and expect her to remain quiet and take it without retaliating. Jenny is not like that. She’ll fight back and that is exactly what we need,” Ian replied flatly. “Someone that can fight back.”

“Ian,” Aldric began, a frown on his face but I stepped forward, standing beside Ian and fixing a cold stare on Aldric. His gaze shifted to me and he sneered silently. I could see the hatred clearly in his eyes.

“You have been disrespectful to my friend, Aldric. I don’t like that. She’s now one of us and I’d like it if you treat her like she is,” I said calmly, my eyes lingering on Aldric for a moment before I fixed everyone else with my stare.

“What you like and what you don’t like is none of our concern, woman. Step aside, I’m talking to our king,” he replied with narrowed eyes.

“I don’t think we’re done here, Aldric,” I murmured with a shake of my head. “I’m afraid you can’t talk to Ian until you and I have spoken to our understanding. Am I clear?” I deadpanned and he got up, pishing his chair back with a loud scrape that made me since. “That’s not polite.”

His eyes moved to Ian at my words, his gaze turning darker. “Caution your little pet, Ian. I bite,” he threatened as his eyes met mine once again.

I could see Ian’s fist turning white but that wasn’t what I was interested in at the moment. I needed to make this little vampire bastard listen to me first.

“I’m not anyone’s pet, Aldric,” I replied him with a sigh. “And I think you’re the one who needs to be careful. Seriously now. You’re getting on my nerves. A lot.”

His eyes went wide as he scrunched up his nose. “What kind of people do you being into the fucking castle, Ian?” He spat out. “First thag girl, Jenny. And now this insolent little creature who I can end with a thought?”

All of a sudden, the world went still. Like it was going in slow motion. And the powers I had been trying so hard to contain in me unleased violently, slamming into Aldric and throwing him against the far end of the council chamber.

It all happened within the blink of an eye. Him crashing against the wall and Ian standing up swiftly to protect me. All the other vampires were on their feet and I could tell that they’d have made the attack if Ian wasn’t currently with us, protecting me.

Yet I wasn’t going to let myself get distracted with what I was saying. I wasn’t scared that they all stared st me like I was their latest prey, their next victim. I sidestepped Ian and took a step forward fixing each of them with a scare once again while Aldric remained by the wall, moaning and groaning as he turned left and right ont the wall.

“That should serve as a reminder to not get me annoyed. All of you. And also, Jenny must not be hurt. Because if she does, I will slowly take each and every one of you apart. But by but until you’re begging me for death,” I said slowly, meeting their eyes once again and making sure that I saw that my message was passed across. “You all will protect her all the damn time. Make sure no harm befalls her.”

I flashed them a cold smile before turning around and walkimg slowly to the door of the council room. Only a fool will do this. Turn their back on their enemies as they walk away. I could be dead by now if they wanted me to. But I was determined to not show even the slightest bit of weakness. I pressed my lips into a tight smile at the guards standing outside of the council room. And then I vamped off, getting mentally prepared to have this conversation with Ian. Because I knew he would bring it up.

But I had probably put him in danger. I had probably ridiculed him in front of the members. Or it was the other way around. I didn’t exactly know which.

I walked into my own bedroom and locked the door behind me, running my hands through my hair and staring at the mirror with angry eyes. Now that this was settled, I still had the issue on my powers.

I could barely control it and now I was using it to fight my battles, to lash out on people. And I knew the council very well. They’d try to use that as an excuse to kill me.
