Kayden's eyes widened in astonishment as he witnessed the radiant red aura emanating from Raphael. The initial shock made him believe that Raphael was attempting to absorb his aura, but as the seconds passed, a different truth began to unveil itself.

"Duke Kayden!" she accused, her voice carrying the weight of her fury, "How dare you threaten my son? Have you forgotten that you have adopted Raphael as your own?"
