“I will drag you into an darkest abyss, as you have done to me for your betrayal. It’ll be like an eye for an eye and tooth for an tooth.” 

Atlas watches him kneeling on the ground with a dagger in his side, blood trickling from his wound. 

Atlas stands there, leaning against the wall with a nonchalant expression. 

Atlas stepped away from leaning against the golden statue, and he walked closer to him with a predatory grace, calm and effortless, and Atlas cradled his face with a possessive and clinging hold, and Atlas smiled gleefully, “Let’s make a deal. Belong to me and do everything I say, and I’ll release your brother.” 

Sebastian never saw this day coming, and he truly regretted saving him on that snowy day. 

This person isn’t the same youth from before, for vengeance and hatred only remain in his heart. 

The only thing he can do is appease the man. But this time, he will never give out his heart again. 
And he will never reveal the real truth behind his betrayal. 

What’s the point? 

Sebastian looked at the man before him and resisted the urge to move away from the hand on his face. His eyes remained stoic. In a hard voice, he said, “Fine. I will do what you want; in exchange, let my brother go.” 
*** 
Sebastian lives a normal life with his family, but he lives a hidden life. 
He has a dark secret that he protects at all costs; otherwise, he will be killed for being a monster. 

He and the rest of his family are vampires, living off blood, but his family, especially his father and mother, don’t feed on humans, for they cling onto morality, hoping not to descend into depravation. 

Sebastian cherishes his family, and they are both his strength and his weakness. 

They are the ones who maintain his humanity and keep him in check. 

But being a vampire comes with a deadly price; he must blend in with the human world, pretending to be a human is an effortless task: calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around as if they’re just a game. 

His heart never lets anyone in, keeping distance from anyone except for his family, who live and protect each other. 

On that fateful night, he never thought he could have another emotional connection. 

A young, feral boy carrying a hunter's knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. 

Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? 

Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that’s too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? 

Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries heavy, dark secrets, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas’s past and must decide if he’s worth forgiving and protecting.

Lured by the Moon

Sebastian took Flynn to a restaurant where he and Atlas have a plan. His eyes turned cold, and he pushed the door open, and Flynn stepped in with him. They stepped inside a restaurant called Gourmet Gateway.

Sebastian and Flynn, along with Blair and her little brother, stopped before a small desk where a young waitress lifted her head and revealed a polite smile at them. "How many?"

She nodded with a brief nod and turned to grab a note off the table, and she pushed her long hair away from her eyes, and she twirled around as she began to walk away from her table. "Follow me."

Sebastian, Flynn, Blair, and Lucas followed her. The silence was overwhelming, and the waitress must have noticed something was off, her eyes furrowed, but she remained silent. She continued to lead them to a large table at the back of the restaurant where a couple of people sat a few rows from them.

He's not dead! [2]
