As Sebastian and his alliance prepared for the mission to retrieve the Amalgam Stone, they faced opposition from an unexpected source—Viktor, Amelia's betrothed. As a powerful and influential member of the vampire council, Viktor vehemently opposed the decision to assist Sebastian.
"I can't believe the council is falling for this nonsense," Viktor growled, his eyes blazing with anger. "Working with humans? It's a ludicrous idea, and it will only lead to our downfall."
Amelia, torn between her loyalty to Sebastian and her feelings for Viktor, tried to reason with him. "Viktor, please understand. Sebastian's intentions are genuine. He wants to find a cure for the infection and bring unity between vampires and humans."
Viktor's face hardened, his grip on Amelia's hand tightening. "He's a traitor to the vampire clan, Amelia. You should be on our side, not defending him."
