Understanding what was happening, Seraphine's expression shifted the moment she realized what he was about to do.
There were beasts who would forcefully try to awaken their kin's bloodline by sacrificing themselves, and she could not let that happen.
Not when a prime asset, that could earn her not only money, but fame as well, was about to sacrifice himself.
"Stop! Whatever you're thinking, I won't allow it!" she shouted, stepping forward with defiance as she pulled out the artifact from her pouch, which she had previously reached for.
The artifact resembled a stone with strange, red-glowing markings running throughout.
As she yelled, grabbing everyone's attention, Darius voiced, "Lady Seraphine, please calm down."
Rex added, "Lady Seraphine, please try to understand. My beast Arcane is meeting her biological father after a long time."
"So why should I care?" she refused, anger evident in her eyes.
