Chapter 125

Xandar’s smile turned into a frown as he leaned into her to hold her in his arms. “That’s what you’ve been worrying about? Lucy, if kids really mean that much to you, we could always consider adoption.”

“You mean…you don’t mind…not having your own kids?” Lucianne asked in a coarse and broken voice.

He held her tighter as he whispered, “I only mind not having you, Lucy. I don’t even care if we didn’t have any kids.”

“But you wanted…a daughter.”

Xandar sighed, already regretting the way he expressed so much enthusiasm in having a little girl with Lucianne that she now felt like having a daughter was a must when it wasn’t. He kissed her forehead before declaring firmly, “Baby, a daughter with your genes would have been magical but my life isn’t any less magical without one. I meant what I said the other day, I just want to be with you. That’s all I need.”

“What about an heir to the throne?” Lucianne asked in a small voice.

Xandar answered matter-of-factly, “Well, if we do adopt, then that child would be next in line. Otherwise, i t would be one of Juan’s kids, hierarchically-speaking.”

Lucianne’s saddened expression turned contemplative as she asked in surprise, “Juan’s kids?”

Xandar then explained, “Yes. When the King and Dukes have no successors, the next in line would be the next closest family member. In our case, it’ll be Juan’s family since he’s like a brother to the Queen. Greg is already disqualified from all those corruption charges against him. So, after us, Christian and Annie, Juan’s children are technically next in line.”

“They’re wolves though.” Lucianne noted the obvious.

Xandar chuckled lightly at his mate’s worried look. “Well then, my love. We have a lot to do in our years as King and Queen to make sure that there is little to no disparity between our species for a harmonious succession of your niece or nephew.” 1
