The guy kidnapped and tortured is not Ethan. It's the guy who took care of Tristan when he was a kid after he lost his mother. They lived together for years up until Tristan became a young adult and started to have a crush on him. But then he suddenly disappeared (got kidnapped by his ex-lover who is after Tristan) and Tristan was heartbroken. He initially crushed on Ethan because he reminded him of his first crush but of course he's now totally in love with Ethan and Ethan only^^
Ahhh, seriously, thanks for that clarification. His character seemed as if it was already added into the plot, but I just couldn’t remember. It’s been such a long time since I read this I mostly remember the main plot point but not the fine details.
I’m still confused on why the first few chapters of this have the obsessed torture and now has them back in each others arms.
I think he didn't just disappear but got k!lled in front of Tristan by evil scientist uncle. Tristan didn't save him because he was told that vampire killed his father but later he regretted for not saving him. That's why when it comes to Ethan, Tristan chose him because he didn't want to make same mistake twice.
I think I need to read over a few of the last chapters of the previous season. Cause when this new season started homeboy was kidnapped get getting drugged by that mad human scientist (?) person who wanted revenge and now I see them cuddling and getting it on like nothing happened. At first I thought it may have been a hallucination but now I think I’m just missing some information.
