Sebastian had been my friend since we were kids. When our family left the town, I was hurt knowing I would leave my friend behind. And when my parents died, I had to go back to town. That's when I met Blake and fell in love with him. Even when I married Blake, Sebastian remained my friend. Although sometimes, I

have to avoid Sebastian due to Blake's request that he isn't comfortable with Sebastian being my friend.

Sebastian squeezed my hand, trying to comfort me. "I have a way, Luna."

My heart pounded.

"But this isn't easy to do and should be done."

My forehead creased, "What do you mean?"

Sebastian shut his eyes as he breathed a sigh, "This is forbidden magic, Luna. This has been buried for centuries."

"Don't tell me..." I trailed off. My eyes widened in disbelief.

Sebastian nodded, "This is black magic, Luna. But this is the only way for you to live."

"No," I firmly said and shook my head.

"Please... Luna. I can't lose you again. I lost my best friend for years, and I can't afford to lose you again," Sebastian pleaded.

"But Sebastian, you told me that this is forbidden magic!"

"Yeah. But I don't care as long as you live. It will be fine, I will be fine."
