Key to his freedom

Sebastian didn't know what to feel—a sense of deep wrongness living in this unfamiliar place.Like some kind of evil that is so heavy that he doesn't need to see it.

Who are these people? Sebastian wondered who these people were and why they had gone to all this effort to kidnap him.

All because of Atlas? Someone who doesn't even have powers or be a threat to someone. Who could want him so badly that they're willing to declare war on vampire territory, kidnapping one of their own kind?

Sebastian was deep into his thoughts until he was pushed onto his knees, making him grunt in brief pain.

A large hand with leather gloves touched his eyes, making his body tense in alertness, then his blindfold was removed.

He had to squint his eyes before he opened them. A dim light from the ceiling flickered through the atmosphere, but what he saw stunned him.
