Chapter 2: The Luna's Surrogacy

He needed to talk to Bella, his Luna wife, about their situation. He rose from his throne and made his way to their chambers, where he found her sitting by the window, staring out at the moonlit landscape.

"Bella," he said softly, approaching her.

She turned to him, her eyes filled with worry. "Zavier, what's wrong? You look troubled."

He took her hand and led her to the nearby couch. "We need to talk," he said, his voice serious.

Bella's expression grew even more concerned. "Is it about our situation?"

Zavier nodded. "Yes. I just had a meeting with the advisors, and we discussed the possibility of surrogacy."

Bella's eyes widened in surprise. "Surrogacy? But I thought-"

"I know," Zavier interrupted. "But we need an heir, Bella. The future of our pack depends on it."

Bella looked down, her face filled with sadness. "I know. I wish I could give you a child, Zavier. I want nothing more than to see our pack thrive and grow."

Zavier took her hand, squeezing it gently. "I know you do, Bella. And I want nothing more than to see you happy. But we need to consider our options."

Bella nodded slowly, her eyes filled with tears. "I understand. But what if something goes wrong? What if the surrogate decides she wants to keep the child?"

Zavier's grip on her hand tightened. "I won't let anything happen to our pack, Bella. I'll make sure that we find the right surrogate, someone we can trust."

Bella looked up at him, her eyes filled with trust. "I know you will, Zavier. But who will you choose? And how will we ensure that she won't cause any problems?"

Zavier took a deep breath, steeling himself for the difficult conversation ahead. "I've been thinking about this for a while, Bella. And I think I've found the perfect surrogate."

Bella looked at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "Who?"

Zavier hesitated for a moment, unsure of how Bella would react. "Sophia."

Bella's eyes widened even further. "Sophia? But she's-"

"I know," Zavier interrupted. "But she's a strong, capable she-wolf. And I have a feeling that she would make a great surrogate. Plus, I trust her. I know that she wouldn't do anything to harm our pack."

Bella looked down, her expression thoughtful. "I see. And how will we ensure that she doesn't become too attached to the child?"

Zavier took a deep breath, knowing that this was the crux of the matter. "We'll have to make sure that she understands that the child is not hers. That she's only carrying it for us. And we'll have to keep a close eye on her, to make sure that she doesn't form any undue attachments."

Bella nodded slowly, her eyes still filled with worry. "I see. It's a risky path, Zavier. But I trust you. And I know that you'll do whatever it takes to protect our pack."

Zavier smiled at her, feeling a surge of affection for his mate. "Thank you, Bella. You have no idea how much that means to me."

Bella smiled back at him, her eyes filled with love. "I'll support you, Zavier, I always do."

Zavier leaned in to place a gentle kiss on Bella's forehead, feeling grateful for her unwavering support. "Thank you, my love. We'll get through this together."

Bella nodded, leaning into his embrace. "I know we will. But promise me one thing, Zavier."

"Anything," he replied.

"Promise me that you'll be careful. That you won't take any unnecessary risks," she said, her voice filled with concern.

Zavier pulled back to look into her eyes. "I promise, Bella. I won't do anything that could put our pack in danger. I'll make sure that everything is done with caution and care."

Bella nodded, a small smile appearing on her face. "I trust you, Zavier. You've never let me down before."

Zavier took her hand and kissed it gently. "And I never will. You and our pack are my top priorities."

Bella leaned in for a soft kiss, feeling comforted by the love and support of her mate. They sat in silence for a few moments, enjoying each other's company and basking in the warmth of their love.

Eventually, Zavier broke the silence. "I'll need your help with this, Bella. We need to make sure that Sophia understands the gravity of this situation."

Bella nodded, her expression serious. "I understand. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure the success of this surrogacy."

Zavier smiled at her, feeling grateful for her unwavering commitment to their pack. "Thank you, Bella. We'll make this work, I know we will."

They sat together for a few more moments, planning their next steps and discussing the logistics of the surrogacy. As they talked, Zavier felt a sense of hope growing within him. Despite the challenges ahead, he knew that they had the strength and determination to overcome them. Together, he and Bella would find a way to ensure the survival of their pack, and the future of their legacy.

The next day, the Alpha immediately stood up and fixed his focus on the newcomer the moment she walked into the room. As soon as Sophia caught his gaze, she overcome with an odd sensation of desire to the alpha male of her pack, and she became aware that her cheeks were beginning to flush.

He spoke to her using a tone that was low and authoritative, and he thanked her for coming by saying, "Thank you, Sophia."

Sophia nodded, indicating that she understood and acknowledged her feelings of fear, but that she was reinforcing her dedication to make a good first impression. "Of course, Alpha. It's an honor for me to be a part of this."

The Alpha acknowledged the other's presence with a nod before turning his attention to his advisors. "It shouldn't come as a shock to any of you that our pack is looking for a surrogate to carry one of our babies. Although there has been a lot of interest from she-wolves who might be willing to volunteer, I've already decided what I'm going to do."

As soon as the Alpha's eyes went back to concentrate on Sophia, Sophia felt a rapid acceleration in her heart rate.

He declared in an assured manner, "Sophia is the one, she got a pretty face, a good and healthy body, and a sincere dedication, which I believe, therefore, she is going to be the one who is going to carry the baby, and it's a lot of determination."

It was difficult for Sophia to contain the feelings of elation and pride that she was experiencing at the moment. It was almost impossible for her to accept the fact that the Alpha and his Luna wife had selected her to be a part of the earliest phases of the development of their royale family.

When she thanked the Alpha, her voice was so soft that it was hardly discernible above a whisper. "Thank you, Alpha."

The Alpha acknowledged ger with a nod before turning his attention to his advisors. "It is vital for us to determine whether or not Sophia is ready for this before moving forward. Both you and I are going to have to make sure that each and every one of her requirements are met."

As the Alpha continued to speak, Sophia felt an unusual sense of gratitude wash over her as the words were being spoken. She was aware that he was looking out for her and making sure that everything was done with the utmost caution and consideration. He was making sure that she was okay. It made her feel as though she was cherished and important thanks to her accomplishment.

As the end of the conference drew near, Sophia found that she was beginning to feel a growing sensation of anticipation and eagerness within herself. She was going to be the surrogate for the Alpha's family, which she considered an honor that was beyond anything she could have ever dreamed of.

As Sophia was leaving the meeting, she couldn't help but smile because she felt grateful for the opportunity to assist the royale family in such a significant way. She had helped her with the packing earlier in the meeting. She would do everything in her power to make sure that this surrogacy was a success and that the Alpha and his family will be happy and joyful for many years to come. She would do this by making sure that the child was born healthy. To achieve this goal, she would make it a point to ensure that she would exhaust all of the options available to her.
