Depend On Me [18+]

Blackmailing is the Plan

*A friend sent me this. I added a few sunflowers and thought it resembles Mora well. 

Chapter 46

Sebastian sats rigidly in his seat and grasp his mug for dear life. Mora sat, facing him, with Kaiden and Eros on her side. When she notices his gaze, she smiles and her eyes curve into crescents. 

He took back his gaze and taps the side of his mug nervously. How can a teenager be so terrifying?

The table settles into silence as everyone ate. Sebastian sips his coffee and shifts in his seat.

"Mind telling me why I'm here?" He asks, glancing up at Mora.

Carly scoffs and takes a bite of her steak. "Willow told us that she was your mother. Told us to talk to you or some shit." She grumbles, glaring at him. 

"Excuse me?" Sebastian balks. Why would Willow...?

"Yeah. Mora exposed her scheme, so they're now working together. We thought that we could reel you in and make our life easier." Carly adds, lying without blinking.

"Willow's business is her own. Although she's my mother, our relationship ended centuries ago." Sebastian looks down at the coffee in his hands, regaining his calm.

"Damn, you're old." Carly blurts out. 

Sebastian's forehead twitches and he glares at her. "My mother is centuries older than me, yet here you are covered in her essence."

Raol sips his juice and shares a look with Jade. He thanks the Goddess for giving him, such dramatic friends, to keep his life entertaining.

Carly turns red and grits her teeth. "At least, she's not the one staring a hole into someone who's taken. Tone down the desperation, why don't you?"

Sebastian's glance flits over to Kaiden and Mora clears her throat. She waves her knife at him with a sly grin. He coughs and looks away. 

Carly huffs and returns to her steak. That's what I thought, She said silently. 

"If you weren't working with her, why did you lie to us?" Kaiden asks, returning Mora's veggies to her plate and ignoring her pout.

Sebastian wracks his brain but he couldn't remember lying to him. "I don't think I ever lied to you."

Kaiden frowns and reminds him. "When you told us that half of Mora's soul was missing?"

"Ah. I was relying on what she told me. If you remember correctly, I tried to verify her words, but Ms. Faye-Hunter caught me before I got the chance. However, your soul did have some damage to it. Sh-" Sebastian stops and stares at Kaiden's collar bone. 

"You have a tattoo?" He blurts out in shock. He never thought that the goody-two-shoes of Black blood pack would have a tattoo. 

Everyone turns to Kaiden and stares at his collar bone. He shifts in his seat, self-conscious.
