Her heart pounded quickly in her chest as she continued making her way into the palace. It was the first time that she was able to notice the palace without having some kind of injury on her and by god it was beautiful.

"Here," Patricia stopped in front of huge double doors, "the king is inside."

​​

Adeline licked her lips. "I can't open these. . " She shook her head slightly as she looked at them. They looked like they weighed a truck themselves.

Patricia laughed, unable to control herself before placing a hand over her mouth and clearing her throat. "The Guards do that." She pointed to the two people that were standing beside the doors. They nodded at Adeline and opened the doors for her to enter.

She entered with a slightly slouched back and found him at his desk. He was working.

The doors closed behind her and she waited awkwardly for him to acknowledge her before lightly clearing her throat, "can I sit?" She pointed to the chair even though he was not looking.

This was awkward as hell.

"Yes, please." She went head on hearing his words and took a seat on the chair directly in front of him. There were three.

"How long is it going to take that file to finish?" She asked politely.

He closed it and placed his hands over it. "What is it?"

"Tell me about the problems the females are facing." She said honestly and he shook his head.

"There is none of your concern, adaline."

None of a concern? Adeline wanted to scoff at his face. From what she had heard by people it was every bit of a concern but fine. If he did not want to tell her that she would not force him as well.

Just as Jenna had repeatedly said, 'some things take time and are worth it where as the others should be dropped.'

"Alright then," Adeline stood up, "synthesis of Michelson I won't be bothering you anymore. In fact since we are of no concern to each other I think it's the perfect option now."

" What?"

"Uh huh," she nodded with a small smile on her face, "I think we should no longer concerned each other with our problems will stop you should move on with someone you find the best face self and I will move on with someone that I find good for me."

She smiled and stepped back, "Thank you for your time."

Before she could even take a step further she heard a loud growl. "Stop." She heard and hide her cheeky smile.

"Oh sorry," she frowned, "what's that addressed to me?"

He closed his eyes before pointing to the chair in front of her. "Let's talk."

She kept in control of her emotions and sat down gracefully. "So tell me what's the problem with the females and pregnancy?"

Xavier did not answer immediately which dimmed Adeline's hope slightly.

"It's a problem that happens every time when the females and the pack the absence of the Luna. The problem is when my uncle was ruling he did not have his made. She passed away rather quickly and he had to survive until one of us, that is Alexander and me, took The throne. Now the problem is you are not there and so was my aunt which is why the females are now suffering gravely."

Adeline gulped. " Well what is it that can help them? What is it that I can do?"

"You," he began but looked away, "we need to mate for that."

". . ."

Well how did one reply to that?

Adeline licked her lips lightly and then looked away. Mate with Xavier?

She had already done that and she had done that countless of times. She had done that with love and passion and now to the gain when there was so much of difference in between them was not going to work well.

But adaline had also seen countless women go to depression and anxiety just because they were not being able to have parts and their wolves and the animal inside was desperate for one.

She had seen so many women come by on a daily basis desperate for a pup looking for a new hope and she was that. Them having sex for one time was the hope they had. But then how did it work after that?

She turned to Xavier. "When we do it, how is it that we having sex affects the others pregnancy?"

Xavier did not expect that. He had certainly not expected Adeline keep on thinking about that matter. He had actually expected her to walk out of here and never return.

"It goes by hierarchy. First comes the lunas of every other pack, that is the shape-shifting pax then comes the beta wolves, the delta females the warriors and so on." He sighed loudly, "they would touch you. Not immediately but like animals showing affection to each other. They would rub themselves over you."

She blushed. "Over me?"

He nodded. "Brushing their skin over yours."

The words per harmless but with him they hit differently.

She closed her eyes and moved back to the chair. As she leaned back on the chair, she tuned everything out and thought about it thoroughly.

It was just one time and she knew she could do it. One time with him and it was office going to help everyone. She could do this for the greater good.

Could she. . .?

She gulped. What was she thinking about? She could barely get over the fact that she was sitting in front of her how was she supposed to take care offers after sleeping with him once more. If would mess up everything. She would have no control over her self.

She neverouly thought about those who did this one night. Could they not do this? This was all that those people needed. Those people needed a small home to get out of something so grave and dangerous.

"Let's do it," she whispered and looked at him with wide eyes, "we can do this."
