Chapter 1: Queen's Infertility

Zavier, the Alpha of the Crescent Pack, sat on his throne, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of his pack's future. His gaze lingered on the intricate carvings that adorned the walls of the grand hall, but he couldn't focus on them. Instead, his thoughts were consumed by the issue that had been plaguing him for months - the fact that his mate, the Luna, had been unable to conceive a child.

He knew that the pack needed an heir, and he had been considering his options. Surrogacy was one option, but it was a risky path, and he didn't want to jeopardize the well-being of his pack. He knew that he needed the advice of his advisors.

"Send for my advisors," he said to the messenger who stood at his side.

"Yes, Alpha," the messenger replied, bowing deeply before scurrying off to carry out the order.

Zavier waited impatiently as the minutes ticked by. He knew that his advisors would be busy, but this was an urgent matter. He couldn't afford to wait any longer.

Finally, the door opened, and his advisors walked in. They bowed respectfully to him before taking their seats around the large wooden table that dominated the room.

"Alpha, you summoned us?" one of the advisors asked.

Zavier nodded, his face grave. "Yes. I need your advice on a matter of great importance."

The advisors leaned forward, their expressions serious. They knew that when Zavier called a meeting, it was not something to be taken lightly.

"My mate, the Luna, has been unable to conceive a child," Zavier said, his voice low. "We need an heir to secure the future of our pack, and I have been considering our options. Surrogacy is one of them, but I'm hesitant to take that route."

The advisors nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. They knew that the future of the pack was at stake, and that finding a solution was crucial.

"We understand your concerns, Alpha," one of the advisors said. "But we must explore all possible avenues to secure the future of our pack. Surrogacy may be a viable option."

Zavier sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I know. But the safety and well-being of our pack must come first. We can't afford to take any unnecessary risks."

The advisors nodded, deep in thought. They knew that finding a solution would be a delicate matter, one that required careful consideration and planning.

Zavier looked at each of his advisors, searching their faces for a sign of hope. He knew that he could count on them to help him find a solution, but he also knew that the road ahead would be difficult.

"Thank you," he said, his voice soft but determined. "I know that together we can find a way to secure the future of our pack."

Zavier sits at a large wooden table in his office surrounded by his trusted advisors. He looks tense and conflicted as he addresses them.

"My dear advisors, as you know, my Luna and I have been trying to conceive a child for years, but with no success."

"After much thought and consideration, we have decided to look into surrogacy. I know this is not a conventional path for us, but I believe it's the only way for us to have a child of our own." The advisors murmur with each other agreed.

"However, I want to make one thing clear. We will only consider women from our own pack for this. It's important that we keep the bloodline within our community."

The advisors nodded, their expressions resolute. They knew that they had an important task ahead of them, and that they needed to work quickly and efficiently.

Zavier watched as his advisors left the room, his heart was heavy with the weight of responsibility. He knew that finding a solution to the issue of his mate's infertility would not be easy, but he was determined to do whatever it took to secure the future of his pack.

After the advisors had left the room, Zavier remained in the grand hall, lost in thought. He knew that the future of his pack depended on finding a solution to his mate's infertility, but he also knew that the path ahead would be fraught with danger.

Zavier stood up from his throne and paced around the room, lost in thought. He knew that surrogacy was a complicated and delicate matter, one that required careful consideration and planning. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. He needed to find the right woman to carry his child, someone who was healthy, trustworthy, and willing to go through with the process.

"Send word to the pack," he said to the messenger who had returned to the room. "We need to find a suitable surrogate mother."

The messenger bowed respectfully and hurried off to carry out the order.

Zavier knew that the news would cause a stir in the pack, but he also knew that it was necessary. He couldn't afford to waste any time. The future of his pack depended on finding a solution to his mate's infertility.

As he waited for the messenger to return, Zavier paced back and forth across the room, his mind was racing with thoughts of the future. He knew that if he didn't find a suitable surrogate mother soon, the pack's future would be in jeopardy.

Finally, the messenger returned with a great news. "Alpha, the word has been spread throughout the pack," he said, bowing deeply. "Several women have come forward expressing their willingness to be a surrogate mother for the Queen."

Zavier nodded, relieved that there were she-wolf in the pack who were willing to help. He knew that he had a tough decision ahead of him, but he was determined to find the right person for the job.

"Bring them to me," he said to the messenger. "I need to speak with them personally."

The messenger bowed respectfully and hurried off to carry out the order.

Zavier sat down at the large wooden table in his office and waited for the women to arrive. He knew that this was an important moment, one that could determine the future of his pack.

When the the she-wolves arrived, Zavier greeted them warmly, thanking them for coming forward to help. He then proceeded to ask them a series of questions, trying to determine their suitability for the mission.

As he spoke with each woman, Zavier was struck by their courage and selflessness. They were all willing to undergo the surrogacy process to help secure the future of the pack, despite the risks and challenges involved.

The next day at the palace, Zavier stands in front of a group of she-wolves who have volunteered to be surrogates. Sophia, a beautiful and confident young woman, stands among them.

"I'm grateful for your willingness to help us with this matter. I know it's not an easy decision to make, and I want to make sure that the woman we choose is someone who we can trust and who shares our values." Zavier's eyes wander over the group until they land on Sophia. There's something about her that catches his attention, and he can't look away.

"You. The she-wolf with an ash grey hair."

Sophia looks surprised but steps forward, trying to keep her composure.

Zavier smiled slightly with awe as he continues to speak. "I think you would be perfect for this role. You have a strong spirit, and I believe you would make a great surrogate for us."

Sophia can hardly believe it. She had never expected to be chosen, but she feels a sudden surge of excitement and pride.

"Me, Alpha?"

"Yes, you. You are the chosen one."

"Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you're willing to do this. It's a big commitment and not without risks."

"I'm willing to take the risk, Alpha. I would be honored to help you and our Luna Queen to have a child."

Zavier smiled and said, "Thank you, Sophia. You have my gratitude and my trust."

After much consideration, Zavier made his decision. He had chosen a young woman named Sophia, who had impressed him with her intelligence, strength, and dedication to the pack.

"Sophia, I have chosen you to be the surrogate mother for our pack," he said, his voice was low and serious. "It won't be an easy path, but I believe that you have the strength and courage to see it through."

Sophia nodded, her face was serious but determined. "I will do whatever it takes to help the pack," she said.

Zavier smiled, relieved that he had found the right person for the job. "Thank you, Sophia. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten."

With the surrogate mother chosen, Zavier knew that the hard work was only beginning. He would need to work closely with Sophia, monitoring her health and progress throughout the surrogacy process. He would also need to prepare the pack for the arrival of the new child, ensuring that they were ready to embrace and support their new member.

But despite the challenges ahead, Zavier felt a sense of hope and optimism. He knew that with the support of his pack and the dedication of his advisors, he could secure the future of his pack and ensure that they continued to thrive for generations to come.

Meanwhile, the day when Sophia was about to be chosen, changed her life all the way. During the time when she was expecting the messenger to arrive at her house, Sophia waited tensely in her room for them to come and consider her. She was aware that he was looking for a surrogate, and the possibility of being picked to carry his child caused her heart rate to quicken. She was aware that he was looking for a surrogate to carry his child. It had always been her hope to become a mother and give birth to a member of her pack so that she could give something back to the pack that had helped her so much. She believed that this would be the best way for her to show her gratitude to the community.

During the period of time that Sophia was had to wait, she couldn't help but think about the next prospects that were available to her. What if she turned out to be the one who is chosen? She imagined for the moment that she was able to provide a hand to the Alpha and his Luna wife in their efforts to bring a new life into the world. It was an honor, far above everything that she could have ever wished for or dreamed of having.

When there was a knock at the door, however, Sophia's worries went into overdrive, and she grew anxious. She stood up, straightened her dress, and opened the door, where she found the messenger already waiting for her. She then proceeded to greet the messenger.

When he informed Sophia that "the Alpha has requested a meeting with the she-wolves in this pack," he did it in a grave manner as he spoke the words.

A slight nod passed between Sophia's lips were trembling, she was aware of the rapid beating of her heart in her chest. "Thank you. I don't need much of a heads up to get there."

Sophia regained her calm by taking a few slow, deep breaths as the messenger walked away and she followed, she then got inside the caravan. It was essential that she did not give in to her anxiousness and allow it to take control of her. She needed to keep her cool and be prepared for anything the Alpha might ask of her at any given moment and chose her.

When Sophia arrived at the gathering, she saw that the Alpha had already arrived and that he was accompanied by his most trusted advisors. She also noticed that the Alpha was already present when she arrived. She was helpless to avoid experiencing feelings of intimidation in response to the presence of powerful and authoritative persons in the room; yet, she did her best to maintain her cool throughout the exchange.
