Ethan was only five years old when he had to face many hardships in his short life. Ever since he was a little boy, he had longed to get some attention from his father, Alan Bustamante. Becoming his pride would have been his greatest childhood dream come true, but for Alan, that little omega boy was never enough. For the alpha, Ethan was weak, insignificant, a shadow compared to the older children he had with other women.
Only the boy's mother, Tahuantinsuyo, gave him love and comfort. She was his light, his refuge, his safe place in the midst of that stormy life. But even that light was cruelly extinguished by Alan when, in a ruthless act, he ended Tahuantinsuyo's life in front of Ethan's eyes.
The boy was barely three years old when he saw his mother, his angel, collapse lifeless before his eyes without him being able to do anything to save her. A memory that remained deeply engraved in his childhood memory like an indelible scar.
Two years later, the day came that would condemn him to live in darkness forever. The alpha, upset by his omega son's disobedience, dragged him into a cold, gloomy room filled with tools that the boy didn't fully understand, but that he learned to fear over time and use of them.
"Let's see how much this hurts. Will you help me, my dear son?" Alan said in a cynical tone that chilled Ethan's blood.
He tied him to a worn wooden table and took a small jar. The boy cried, begging his father to let him go, to forgive any offense he may have done, but his tears did nothing but amuse Alan. The adult alpha forced the little boy's eyes open and dropped a fine powder on them.
The pain was immediate. It burned as if a thousand needles were piercing his pupils. He screamed in desperation, writhing painfully against the straps that kept him immobile. Then, everything faded away.
When he woke up, he thought he had bandages covering his eyes, but as he brought his hands to his face, he realized that wasn't the case.
There was nothing there, just immense darkness.
That was the day his world changed forever
That was the day he lost his vision.
