Bianca POV
I was so hurt when I heard Alex's words. I didn't know why I couldn't get pregnant until now. I've done everything to make my womb able to give offspring to Alex.
I wasn't stupid enough to sense that the Lycan higher-ups didn't like my existence. They hated me because I was a werewolf. For a long time, the Lycans had been the strongest and most arrogant creatures on earth. They have always considered other shifters as nothing.
"I hate you, Alex!" I said as I left Alex.
I cried. I couldn't take it. And Alex never did anything for me. Somehow I felt like Alex didn't really want this marriage. I know my marriage is a partnership between the Crescent Moon Pack. But I really love Alex. Who wouldn't want to be Lycan Queen? Anyone would bow down and respect me. But being the wife of a Lycan King is not like that.
I often hear the servants gossiping about me. They say I'm a useless and troublesome wife. I'm spoiled, possessive, and also not worthy of Alex.
I know I'm just a Beta. I'm a woman my father set up for political cooperation. Wolftown was in a precarious state two years ago. Not Wolftown, but the Crescent Moon Pack. My Alpha is very cowardly. My father was ordered to approach Alex to gain his trust.
And what better gift to give a powerful Lycan King than a woman. I don't know how. But my father was really good. He got Alex to accept marriage to me.
Alex has been very kind since we got married. He's never said a bad word. He's also very gentlemanly. He's a very good s*x player. I love it when he is dominant during s*x. He is everything to me. But it seems my feelings, and Alex's are not the same.
I felt that Alex was just doing his responsibilities as a husband. He kissed me, touched me, and had an amazing s*x with me. But I didn't feel that Alex was getting the same pleasure. He was too calm and kind. It was just too bland in our marriage.
Like this moment. When the servants teased me because I hadn't produced any offspring for Alex. Alex never defended me. He just emphasized that I couldn't give him children.
"Bianca," Alex called to me.
I ignored him. This was the umpteenth time I'd heard insulting words from the servants. Did they have that right? I was Alex's wife. My position is very high. No one can look down on me.
"We have to talk, Bianca. Don't avoid me!" Alex took my hand.
I was still crying. I didn't like it when I was weak among these Lycans. It was like they didn't like me being in the Silver Lycan Pack. And the bloodline is an excuse for them to get rid of me.
"What should we talk about?" I raised my voice. I was tired of being meek to Alex. He always made me out to be a stupid woman. "You said I was a barren woman!"
"Honey .... " Alex tried to hug me, always like that. He never really wanted me to be happy. I also knew that Alex really wanted a child. It depressed me. I don't know why I can't have children. "We should go to the doctor to check your condition," Alex said.
"Me?" I was surprised that Alex was talking about me. "Just me?"
"You're the one who will conceive and give birth. Of course, it's you," Alex said.
"What about you? You could be infertile. Why are you accusing me of being infertile!" I yelled. I couldn't stand it. I had always acted like a good wife. But after a while, my efforts were never appreciated. To Alex, all that mattered was the Pack's business. He forgot that he had a wife to cherish.
"That's impossible," Alex replied. "I've never had a problem with my body. You have to listen to me. I've wanted to say this for some time. But I held back for your sake, Bianca."
"You really hurt me, Alex. You should have protected me. Not make me suffer!"
"Bianca!" Alex screeched at me. "I never wanted you to suffer. I always did what was best for you."
"Bullshit!" I just went to my room. I was sick of all Alex's excuses. He was never sensitive to what I wanted. Why did I have to have children? Why won't they accept me as I am? I hated these Lycans. But I don't want to give up my position. Being a Lycan Queen is not an opportunity to be easily obtained. Even if I have to go through this humiliation. I will not give up my position. All the shifters in Wolftown must bow to me.
***
This morning I had to go to the hospital. Alex gave orders for me to have my body checked.
"I am sorry, Ma'am. You can't have children," Dr. Charlie said. He was the best gynecologist in Wolftown. Alex had made a direct appointment on his behalf.
I furrowed my brow. This was such a disaster. He said that I couldn't have children. How rude this is to me.
"How can you say that, Doctor? Why can't I have children?"
"There is an abnormality in your uterus, so the sperm cannot be fertilized. The condition of your uterus makes it impossible for the egg to fertilize. I am sorry for that. But I have to tell you the truth," Dr. Charlie explained.
Dr. Charlie's words were like a storm that hit my body. After returning from the hospital, I didn't go straight to Alex's house. Instead, I went back to my father's house. I needed clarification. What should I do now?
"We need to get rid of Dr. Charlie," my father said suddenly.
"Dad! You're making trouble by killing him! My infertile condition is already making my position unsafe!" I screamed. I knew my father's fear. But if my father did something stupid, Alex could kill me if he got caught.
"You can't tell Alex that you're infertile. We must find a way to keep you as Lycan Queen. Your position will keep the Crescent Moon Pack safe," my father said.
I was disgusted. My father and Alex were no different. They didn't care about my mental condition. All they care about is power.
