Chapter 71: The Trap

Sebastian’s smirk deepened, his dark eyes gleaming with unrestrained amusement. He leaned in slightly, tapping a single finger against his chin in a gesture that, for anyone else, would have been casual. But I knew Sebastian. That mind of his was already spinning something twisted, something cruel.
Sebastian’s grin turned sharp, dangerous. "Ever heard of the Bone Prison?"
The name alone sent a slow ripple of intrigue through me. I’d seen what vampires were capable of—how their venom twisted and burned. But Sebastian was different. He wasn’t just any vampire. He was ruthless when it came to revenge, and whatever he had planned would be nothing short of a masterpiece.
"I’m listening," I said, voice even.
Sebastian crossed one leg over the other, reclining against the couch as if he were about to tell a bedtime story. "First, I bite them," he said lazily, examining his nails. "Not enough to turn them, no. That would be too merciful. Just enough venom to keep their bodies in a constant state of suffering."
I nodded slowly, considering the implications. "And then?"
"Then," he continued, his smirk widening, "we coat their bones in liquid silver."
The words hung in the air between us, heavy, dark, intoxicating.
I raised an eyebrow. "You want to embed silver into their very skeletons?"
