SIX MONTHS LATER

"It is the need of the hour!" Preston cried out. "I apologize for saying this but, your highness, our population is dying out there. There have been no births in the previous 6 months. And do not even get me started on how miserably failing heat has been for women."

​​

Xavier's grip tightened over the pen.

"That is true," Dylan added, "the warriors are facing troubles and concentrating. They are worried about their mates."

Another problem.

"That's not it," another elder cried out, "Are we going to ignore the fact the females are not even having heats?" He pointed to the paper that was kept on the table, "I believe not having heat is more dangerous than not having children. If there is no heat then there will be no children."

Silence fell onto the room for a few seconds before Preston spoke up and concluded the entire meeting, "We need the Luna back. Six months have been heavy on all of us, especially the females. They never got to bond with her and now they are losing hope of having children."

Xavier nodded his head.

"That's not all," Hardely spoke up, "we are just talking about the werewolf women. Other shifters are also having problems because their Luna has not bonded with The queen luna yet."

Another problem, a major one at that.

He nodded again.

Everyone left leaving him and his beta lycan alone.

"Now what?" Augustus asked the king informerly knowing that he could address His highness like that when in private. "Believe it or not we know we need admin at the moment. It does not help that my mate and Dylan's is facing problems to."

Xavier knew what that meant. His opinion was going to be biased. That was not enough. He could understand the growing frustrations of the alphas. It did not work well in anyone's favour that the parts were not happening. If the population dwindled then it was a severe problem.

"It's been 6 months," Augustus reminded, "how long are you to going to ignore each other? Are you not aware of the effects it would on your health as well as hers?"

Xavier nodded. Again.

Augustus felt quite after that and Xavier stood up and walked out.

Problems and problems kept on piling up and he was wondering when was the time was going to be peaceful. He knew the effect that was having on his father as soon as his study is completed, he took the throne back.

Adeline would have to be back. That was going to be inevitable.

He moved to the infirmary where Ashlynn was.

The moment he entered his eyes ransacked at the entire room but stopped at the site of the nurse. "Where is she?" About the woman that was not in the room.

"The gardens, sir. I have two nurses with her." She informed to his back as he was already out.

He did not bother to run to the place. Ashylnn was going to stay there for a while.

Nothing is going as it possible to be. Even though the six months had been peaceful and his heart has been calm along this beast the problem of longing was always there and now others for piling up.

He stopped two steps away from her who was sitting in front of the beautiful flowers. "Ashylnn," he acknowledged and she gave him a tired smile.

"Hello," she croaked out, "how are you?"

He huffed slightly, "should I not be asking you that? How are you, my sister?"

She hummed and turned to the flowers. "I was sad when months ago they had to be plucked out because the season was over. Now they are back and blossoming, I am happy."

Xavier nodded. Those were Alexander's favorite flowers. "Your health is worsening."

"You know why." She smiled again, pinching his heart. "You are not well as well Xavier. Just because you are stronger physically than ever doesn't mean that here," she pointed to her heart, "everything is alright. You are just as messed up as I am. You have a death by longing."

He stared at her particular flower. He certainly would.

He heard Ashylnn say, "do you know no about women not going into heat? That is a very serious problem Xavier. It makes us weaker anthrone to defeats if someone ever tries to declare war on us."

He did. As the king she knew what was going on in the minds of other kingdoms. If this continued then with another six months their Kingdom was going to sleep past their hands.

"I know."

"Then do something about it." She suggested further, "do you know that adaline has joined the human association? Just like The Ambassador uncle she drinks to be that one day. How well suited she is to be the Luna. I am one selfish bitch and look at her, selfless."

"Stop it." He knew what she was doing.

She grinned, "If you tell her about this then I am sure that I didn't will try to help you no matter what. But you need to try saviour. Perhaps you could come to an agreement and actually moved forward this."

He sighed, "I don—"

"Stop it!" She cried out and he saw a tear slip. "If you both human and you were rocking the way I might not have pushed away as much as I am doing now but you both rotting away will make the entire Kingdom rote hue. Do you know what that means? My mate, your brother died because he wanted to save Adelaide for you. And what are you doing?" She growled lightly.

That was all she could do. Xavier's growl could make the entire room tremble. Everyone in the castle new when the king ground where as Ashylnn could only make a cat's hiss.

"Ashylnn—" he began but Ashlynn raised a hand to stop him.

She stood up and broke the stem of the flower that he was eyeing and held it out to him. "I cannot have my mate back. You can. Put an end to this, move past this." Ashylnn wiped the tear away, "Please." She begged.
