Well he never liked raphael.and spoiler:
In later chap you will find that ml married raphael for the nobility and he looked similar to mc. Ml likes mc but he could'nt accept the fact that he fell for an alpha and there was also his ego and pride bcuz mc is a noble. There were sometime ml tried to act lovey dovey with raphael infront of mc , idk why maybe to make him jealous. It was at this moment raphael realised ml doesnt love him and is using him as replacement of mc.
And raphael is not having ml's child . he meets an alpha who loves him and get pregnant with that child. But they will get happy ending in 2nd and 3rd timeline.they are cute couple. 2nd timeline mc gets happy ending with the ml who does nt have memory and mc is also an omega in 2nd timeline.
In 3rd timeline ,it is an open ending for ml bcuz mc doesnt have memory , not ml have. And also mc is an alpha and proud noble. So ml is bitter about and all.
bruh seme is the ahole! first he liked aelok and than raphael, but he was just enchanted by their blue eye and blonde hair. he only smiled at aelok at times when he looked like rapheal but didnt like aeloks aroigant personality. it seems like he wanted the uke’s looks and raphel’s submissiveness
