"Shush! Lower your voice," covering her mouth, Angel stopped her from screaming.
"I need your cooperation, no one must know about this, please?" With her hand still over Suzanna's mouth, she pleaded.
Nodding her head, Suzanna answered and Angel slowly removed her hand.
"I know of a witch that does it, but you can't trust them, there is always a price for any potion they make," Suzanna warned. She grew up with one, she knew how devilish they were. They had no compassion and would demand anything they wanted. And if one failed to provide it, the consequences were always dire.
"I am sure there is a way to pay that price. I would have abundant wealth once I become Luna, I can settle them." Angel answered, confident in paying whatever price they demanded.
Shaking her head, Suazanna stated, "No my lady, I am not talking about a money price. It is a price worth more than the potion given." Clarifying.
"I don't understand you?" Confused, Angel said. She had heard stories about witches, but she was never familiar with any of their traditions or acts.
"My lady, witches derive joy from people's sorrow. Though they might act like they are helping you, they are not. They would manipulate you to the extent of you giving up your life. The witch could ask for your relative's life in return, or your longevity. Their price is always beyond one's expectation," Suzanna explained, causing Angel's leg to tremble in fear. Those prices were heavy indeed, she could not afford to lose her life. But her relative's life? Could she truly allow any of them to die even though they deserved it?
"What can I do? I need to sire a baby boy on my first birth." She said, feeling devastated.
Seeing her desperate look, Suzanna felt bad for her and wished she could help her with what she wanted but she knew it was dangerous to consult a witch.
"What about this? We get a skilled doctor and have him monitor you from now on. He could tell us what to do to birth a boy?" Suzanna suggested but Angel knew doctors weren't gods, they can't predict the gender of an unborn child.
Exhausted, Angel strolled towards a bench in the garden and sat on it, her eyes full of sadness, as she thought of having to endure her mate fucking another woman for more than a year, if she fails to birth a baby boy.
"My lady, do not worry much. Alpha Fernando is rumored to have strong stamina, you might be blessed with a son on your first birth?" Trying to cheer her up, Suzanna disclosed but they weren't helping.
Of course, those rumors came from Juliet, the only woman who truly knew how strong he was in bed. Thinking about the scene from earlier, she felt disgusted and wished to vomit.
She would never allow Fernando to mate with her while he mated with Juliet. At least until she is confirmed to be pregnant, he would have to stop mating with her. Speaking of pregnancy, she also had to get pregnant quickly, so she doesn't have to mate with that man every time.
"If I can't get a witch for the baby's gender, I can get a doctor to help me get pregnant on time right?" Seeing a new hope, she asked.
"Yes, that's very possible," Suzanna answered and Angel gave a happy nod.
"My lady, can I ask why you seem rushed?" Bothered, Suzanna inquired. It was already weird that she wanted to birth a boy first, now she wanted to get pregnant on time? Could it be that she wasn't in love with the Alpha? But they are mates, shouldn't they naturally have feelings for each other?
"Ahh…I…I just want to make Alpha Fernando happy, I can't wait to build a family with him." Stammering, she nervously scratched her neck and lied. Normally, she would hide her true intentions, but it was better to act like she cares if she wants less attention on her.
"That's sweet, I will do my best to help you, My lady." Smiling, Suzanna said and sighed in relief. Here she thought that something was wrong, who knew that the Alpha and Luna were madly in love? Does that mean they would finally be able to get rid of Lady Juliet? But Lady Juliet wasn't in her room this morning, if she is not with the Alpha, where could she be?
"My lady, have you seen the Alpha this morning?" Curious, Suzanna asked.
"Yes, he came to greet me in my room. It was a lovely visit," she lied.
That meant Juliet was in town parading as usual, what a good thing.
"My lady, it is time for breakfast. We have to go now, the Alpha hates it when someone is late to the dining room." Suzanna informed but Angel wasn't bothered. He was probably still fucking his mistress, so she had time to gather her thoughts before facing both of them at the dining table.
"Can we stay here just a little bit longer?" She urged.
"But…" interrupting her, Angel assured, "Don't worry, the Alpha is probably busy. He won't be coming down soon," causing Suzanna to worry. That has never happened in the history of the pack house, no matter how busy he was. He never skipped breakfast, a devoted act she found weird.
"Alright then," deciding to grant her wish, Suzanna agreed. She was the Luna, Alpha Fernando would probably overlook her ignorance.
At the dining table, Fernando and the rest of the high members of the pack house were already seated, awaiting the arrival of Luna.
"Where is she?" He asked Phillip, his beta.
"We haven't been able to locate her, but a maid said she was spotted near the abandoned garden," Phillip answered.
"I want her here in five minutes," holding in his anger, he ordered.
"Yes Alpha," Phillip immediately left to search for her himself.
