347 Sexless
Selma Payne’s POV:
Emma’s business-like attitude made Rhode a little depressed even though he didn’t express it.
Since my last conversation with Emma, I hadn’t interfered in their affairs. Feelings were very private. But this time, I asked them about their progress in an obscure manner in case another disgusting accident happened.
Rhode said that the misunderstanding between him and Emma had been resolved. He knew that Emma’s avoidance was due to her family’s interference. He understood this very well and was willing to do anything in exchange for her peace of mind and her family’s support.
The former was easy to deal with, but the latter was more complex. Emma wasn’t sure what she could get back from her family, who had been controlling her life. She didn’t want to waste Rhode’s feelings, so she agreed to break up with him temporarily.
Rhode respected her decision, but he was inevitably disappointed. “I’m willing to take on everything with her, but in the end, Emma is the only one fighting for our feelings. I’ve never felt so vexed before. I can’t even protect the person I love.”
I sighed and consoled him, “This can’t be helped. It’s not your or Emma’s fault. It’s the Evalia Family’s fault. If they didn’t stop you, you and Emma would have been a happy couple.”
Rhode quietly revealed to me, “In fact, I thought about putting aside my Alpha work for the time being and returning to Emma’s family to face everything. But when I told Emma about my thoughts, she scolded me and said that if I dared to do that, she would never see me again.”
I slapped him on the head and said resentfully, “If I were Emma, I’d scold you too. Look at what kind of rotten idea you’ve come up with. Do you think Emma would be willing to watch you give up your pack for her? Your sense of responsibility is what she’s most fascinated with. If you really dare to do that, I guarantee that Emma will dump without hesitation!”
Rhode rubbed his head and explained in a low voice, “Why are you so angry? I already know I was wrong...”
I pretended not to notice Emma’s disappearance while at the Shadow Pack, pretending not to know where she went.
Although they said they wanted to break up, this pair of bitter lovebirds were quite honest.
After leaving the Shadow Pack, we stopped at the Silver Moon Pack again, then headed straight back to the Lycan pack.
Due to my body’s condition, this return trip was very low-key. The royal family didn’t say much to the outside world or hold any welcoming ceremony. On the other hand, I returned to my suite and worked during my pregnancy.
When I was seven months pregnant, I did a routine sex test, but the puzzling thing was that my child had not developed any sexual organs so far. Although everything else was developing well, it still made me worried.
The doctors and the werewolf grandmasters had a meeting overnight. They gave me one examination after another and countless sorcery tests, but in the end, there was no unified conclusion. One group thought that it might be some rare congenital disability, while the other group thought that it had something to do with my unusual body.
Master Mary belonged to the latter camp. She believed my body had been reshaped and could no longer be treated like an ordinary pregnant woman. Especially since I’d had the experience of becoming a god, this had increased the uncertainties of my pregnancy.
“In the records of many ancient books and legends, some divine descendants actually don’t have an assigned sex.” She reported a lot of information and said, “In fact, strictly speaking, the concept of ‘sex’ can’t even be applied to all natural creatures. However, let’s not talk about that. We’ll start with your condition.
“At present, I have found out that the relationship between sex and divine descendant is mainly as follows: The first was to follow the mother, which meant that the divine descendant was essentially a clone of the mother, so it is natural to follow the mother’s sex. The second type was sexless. Since there is no assigned sex, this situation could be divided into different categories. Some never had assigned sex, while some could freely change their sex. The third is the mother’s choice. When a divine descendant is born, the mother will decide the sex. In mythology, male, female, and combined sex have all appeared.
“At present, the fetus doesn’t have any problems other than the stagnation of the development of its sexual organs, so I’m inclined to believe that this child is not disabled but sexless in the first place or that the mother would grant the child a sex when it was born.”
The thick stack of documents gave me a headache. I patiently flipped through two or three pages before I felt dizzy.
Ever since I got pregnant, I’d been feeling worse and worse.
I decided to accept Master Mary’s theory for the time being. First, I believed what she said was likely to be the truth. Second, I didn’t want to give up my child because of an unconfirmed guess of ‘disability’.
In short, when the royal family announced my pregnancy to the public, they did not announce the sex of the fetus. This detail did not attract the public’s attention and speculation. The entire werewolf kingdom was once again enveloped in the joy of the birth of the next generation’s heir.
My official duties were suspended when I entered the ninth month of my pregnancy. I really couldn’t spare any energy for other things.
It had been a long time since I had a peaceful life, but fate did not give us the chance to let our guard down.
