"Since you've asked that question, there's something that's been bothering me. What if Daisy's evil blood has somehow been passed down to Bryan? I know you raised him, but when you made me spend more time taking care of him, I noticed just how ruthless he could be."
Seraphine smiled, and the affection in her eyes was unmistakable. There was hardly anyone who understood Bryan better than she did, and she wasn't about to let his biological mother's history become a reason for anyone to doubt the child she had loved and raised.
"Ruthlessness runs in all our blood. It simply depends on who deserves to experience it. Bryan fed on my breast milk, Ravyn, and no matter how much of Daisy's blood he might carry, he'll always flourish on the milk I fed him."
Her words left both men speechless.
Voren stared at his wife with admiration, feeling another wave of love wash over him as he listened to her. He finally understood something he hadn't fully appreciated before.
