The lawn went quiet. Alexander’s hand tightened on my lower back. I felt like I was going to be sick all over again as every onlooker and journalist fell silent, waiting for our answer.
But how were we supposed to answer that?
We weren’t actually sleeping together, let alone trying for a baby. We had only just begun to share a bedroom after years of marriage, and that was only out of necessity, not desire. The very thought of sleeping with my husband, an experience that every happy wife should have, just made my heart pound with anxiety and embarrassment.
But Alexander, always the politician, leaned toward the microphone without missing another beat.
*If you must know, we are actually trying for a baby,” he said confidently. The crowd murmured, glancing at one another.
“An heir to Ashclaw,” someone in the front row said, glancing over at me. “That would be a miracle at this point.”
I fought to keep my expression neutral even as my stomach turned in on itself. It wasn’t a miracle; it was just another fucking lie. How many more would we have to tell before this damn press conference was over?
The journalist scribbled something on her notepad, then looked back up at us. “But you’ve been married for five years,” she said, tilting her head. “Most fated mates conceive within the first year. Is there perhaps a… fertility issue on either end?”
My cheeks burned. This wasn’t just embarrassing–it was dangerous. In our world, a pack’s Alpha and Luna were expected to be strong, virile, and capable of producing heirs. If the pack thought we couldn’t have children, then they would question Alexander’s ability to lead Ashclaw.
And that wasn’t even including how it might impact his election.
Alexander’s fingers dug into my spine. “Well, these things simply take time, and we’ve only got so much energy,” he said with a light chuckle. “But we’re both young, so we’re in no rush.”
“But if you’re truly in love, as you claim to be,” the journalist prodded, “then why wait so long to start a family? It’s quite unusual, even for people of your
age.”
Another journalist raised his hand and stood before Gabriel could call on him. “There are rumors that you sleep in separate bedrooms. Is that true? is that why you haven’t been able to conceive?”
