Chapter 511

Kaylee:

Graham’s behavior was getting worse. I noticed that after everyone went to sleep at night, he would quietly slip out somewhere. I started to suspect he was going to meet someone.

Whenever he returned and changed his clothes, I would sneak into the guest room and smell them. They carried a woman’s scent. I knew who had started taking advantage of our state at the right moment. It could be no one but Madeline. This had to be her doing.

I was losing my mind. My head felt like it was going to explode. Even though I had everything, it suddenly felt as if everything had been taken from me.

“You need to take your medications regularly,” my father advised.

I had gone to sit with him because I felt terribly lonely in the mansion.

Then there were Penny and Lord Eldon. The two of them tried too hard to be sweet with me. Every time Penny looked at me, she would drop whatever she was doing just to sit beside me and start a conversation.

But I knew what she was trying to do. In hindsight, I understood it even more clearly. She wanted me to see her pregnant belly and feel lonely.

And I did.

Every time she appeared with her big fucking belly, I stared at it and cursed it under my breath.

“What is the use of these medicines? They are not going to fix me,” I muttered, staring blankly at the wall in front of me.

Tears gathered in my eyes again.

“Don’t think like that. Your health is far more important,” my innocent father replied, having no idea what it meant for a Luna Queen to never have children.

“Father, a Luna Queen’s mental health means nothing,” I murmured, breaking my stare from the wall and turning toward him.

“What matters is that the Luna bears her mate’s children and gives strong heirs to the Alpha.”

With every word I spoke, my heart grew heavier.

“Well, if he loves you enough, he may overcome that desire and even adopt a child,” my father suggested.

As he said that, an idea formed in my mind. I looked at him with renewed excitement.

“That is true. There are many children whose Alpha parents died and who are now in the orphanage. You could convince him to adopt one of them. And if we work hard enough, we might even find a child whose pack is currently unstable. Perhaps a beta or a weaker Alpha took control after the child’s parents passed away.” he was giving me some really good suggestions.

“If that is the case, your husband could challenge them. He would be taken more seriously because he is more powerful and has more packs under his command than the Alpha currently ruling them,” my father continued.

Everything he said sounded like a melody to my ears.

“Do you think he will accept it?” I asked, anxiously watching his face.

“There have not been many cases, but there were a few Alphas in the past who did that. They adopted children because they did not want to replace their mate just to have one,” my father explained.

When he said those words, I felt them pierce straight into my heart. How lucky those

Lunas must have been to have a mate willing to adopt for her sake.

“I will speak to him today,” I told my father, smiling brightly.

“Finally, my daughter is smiling,” my father said, smiling as well.

I returned home and dressed

beautifully this time. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at myself and remembering the W

I would make sure Graham agreed to adoption. That way, we would even be able to bring packs under our control.

I joined everyone for lunch, and right away I noticed Penny and Lord Eldon staring at the smile on my lips.

“We are so happy to see you smiling,” Lord Eldon remarked.

Graham slowed his movements and turned his head to look at me. I was sure he noticed how beautiful I looked in the new blue dress.

“That is because I have good news,” I announced.

The moment said that, everyone frowned, exchanging glances before looking back at me. Even Graham set his fork down and turned toward me. I knew he was expecting a different kind of good news, but that was never going to happen. Oh, how I wished it were possible.

“I have found a solution to our problem,” I continued, smiling widely and watching

their faces carefully so I would not miss a single reaction.

“Our problem?” Graham asked, finally facing me.

Lately, getting his attention had been difficult. So whenever he did pay attention to

me, I wanted to choose my words carefully and not ruin it.

“I mean, we can have a child,” I said.

As soon as the words left my mouth, Graham narrowed his eyes. Lord Eldon and his mate exchanged a look.

“Adoption. We can adopt a baby,” I added.

The words had barely left my lips when Graham slammed his hand onto the table, making the dishes rise up and fall back on the table.
