The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

When the king of the tribe sentenced Kurt's aunt to death back then, his grandparents hired someone to investigate what had happened in their state of panic. It was then that they found out that she had sent her two kids away overnight. Because of that, the high priest accused the two kids of bringing bad luck to the tribe.

Although Kurt's grandparents really wanted to save her, there was nothing much they could do within the strictly hierarchical tribe. As such, they decided to try and rescue her children instead. They figured it would at least provide his aunt with some form of consolation while she awaited her execution.

However, they could not seem to find them no matter where they looked.

The tribe tortured his aunt for years while searching for her kids, but they were unable to locate them. Eventually, the wicked king had the worst idea possible—to have his mother bear the punishment of her sister's crime. He forced himself on her, and that was how Kurt came to be.

As if that was not bad enough, the high priest accused him of bringing bad luck to the tribe when he turned ten. He suffered the same fate as his cousins. Had Karl not arrived in time, he would have died there.

In the dark, Kurt wore a scornful smile on his face and said, “That's not true. He only has that face because that woman used some kind of drug,”

“Drug?”

Upon hearing that, Vivian was so shocked that she stopped crying instantly and stared wide-eyed at him.

What? I didn't know it was possible to alter a person's appearance through the use of drugs!

The young man nodded. “She consumed a specially concocted formula when she was pregnant. According to modern-day science, it's a type of drug that alters genes.”
