Confused, I stare at Ralph.Hadn't he mentioned we never had sex in the past? Then how can I be pregnant now? Is my mate even disclosing everything that happened between us before I suffered from amnesia? "Ralph, how can I turn out to be pregnant if we never had sex?" I ask him. "You said I wanted to wait. A baby only comes through sex. Are you being truthful to me?" He squeezes my hands tighter and bats his eyes.When he looks up again, I see regret in his gaze. "There was one night, about a week before we left. We were in the sitting room of my penthouse and we got heated. We had sex on the couch, it was heavenly and good". A soft glow covers his face. "I should have taken your feelings into account, but I couldn't help myself. After that one time, we agreed to wait and not seduce each other," he says. I let his words sink in. Yes, when two adults in love are together for a long time, they may give in to their desires. That's what Esis and Magda did; it

We stay with Esis and Magda for about another hour; the atmosphere is much better now.I feel Esis's anxious glances at me a few times, but I ignore him. He won't be able to help me dig into my past, from his stories, I understand that he hasn't known me very long before the accident. Ralph introduced me to him as his fiancé so he doesn't know Rain. When we finally say goodbye, I assure everyone that we will get back together when the baby is born. Or maybe even sooner, when there is any good news from the newlywed side. Magda blushed like a beet at my words; if it is up to Esis, that announcement will come soon than later. He clearly adores Magda, but has not yet revealed to her his true nature. I foresee problems now that he is putting off every time. He is probably afraid of his mate's reaction but will have to bite the bullet. As the Alpha of a pack, he can only live in Human Town for a short time. Eventually, he'll have to go back to Midnight Moon.

"Saray, have you had anything in for the day?" she asks softly.I shake my head in denial. "No, after the hospital, we went straight to the yacht. I have no desire for food at all," I explain, wearily hanging over the sink. This is not a healthy situation, I know I need to see the doctor soon for medication to whet my appetite and neutralize this nausea. My body needs vitamins to keep my pup healthy. "Here, drink some warm water with the dissolved sugar and then the yogurt. It will help keep your stomach in check". I take the glass from her and drink it in one gulp. Indeed, several minutes later, I feel a lot more comfortable. I sigh in relief. Then I take the yogurt and sit down on a stool. "We'll have the doctor come in tomorrow to examine you. Although I am not in favor of all those tablets and chemical stuff, you have to decide for yourself whether to use them. This warm water with sugar has helped me and many other she-wolves around here," she notes.

The days go by in bliss.Alidya provides me with dry but healthy food in the morning and in the afternoon, I eat with the family in the large dining hall. After I devour my breakfast today, Ralph leaves for the office to catch up on mountains of overdue work. He told me his father has wrapped up a lot of business, but there is still a lot that needs his personal attention and signature. He then locked himself in his office with Eric for almost five hours. Alidya stayed by my side; we have become good friends in recent days.Today we are once again sitting in the main dining hall at lunch.There are still fierce discussions about the Sages' attitude and disagreements about the direction the Kingdom should take when it comes to the traditions. I just sit back and listen, trying to understand the arguments of both sides. But the opinions are still far apart. I sit next to Ralph, he fervently defends his position, which is very similar to his father's. Which leads me to sus

Secretary Eric's POVFinally, I got a chance to get closer to Saray.There is definitely something crucially wrong with her lineage and relationship with Ralph. The two have never had sex, I bet my head on that. Ralph's emphatic scent that should be with her is missing. Also, if the two had intercourse, her transformation into Lycan should have been initiated long ago, especially if the pups too had Lycan genes. But that is not the case, Saray is an ordinary werewolf, perhaps from a high-ranking family, but absolutely not from the Alpha bloodline. In addition, she seems mated, her scent is mixed, although only vaguely noticeable. That should be different since she spent two years in Human Town. Something is wrong here, my ancient old Lycan senses that. This pregnancy is highly mysterious. I can talk to the Sages about it, of course, and we can find all the answers at the Oracle of the Moon Goddess. But these Sages are still in the bliss of the upcoming bi
