Crystal’s P.O.V.
“I need him alive for the experiment, Crystal. He can’t just die before giving us a cure for not only Catherine but also for you and Adam,” Nelson said in a calm and stern tone.
“You need his blood, not him, Dad. We still don’t know where the rest of the vampires who escaped during the attack went or what they are planning right now. Marcus was their king, and they do have their loyalties towards their king,” I argued once again in a firm tone.
“Crystal is right. Marcus is still a threat to us, and it will be better if we eliminate this threat before a new danger approaches us,” William supported me in a calm tone, and I jerked my head in agreement immediately.
“I have accepted my present reality, and I don’t have any problem living with it. The transformation was already so much painful. You can’t say how painful the reverse transformation can be for us. Crystal is already weak and has gone through so much pain and suffering. I don’t think that going through that much pain will bring anything good for her,” Adam spoke in a calm tone, giving his argument about my proposal.
“You are right but I don’t want my grandchildren or great–grandchildren or anyone in the next generations to have anything related to vampires in them,” Dad Nelson once again argued while shrinking his nose lightly while looking at me with concern.
“It’s okay, Dad. Don’t forget that Marcus is not only a threat to us but also to them too. If… if he, somehow, manages to escape from here, none of us can tell how dangerous the situation will be for us,” I tried to comfort him, but he was still reluctant about that.
“Also, we also got some information about Alpha Ruben’s bastard son, Robin, who is trying to form an army of rogues to rescue Marcus,” William informed this time, and I chewed on my internal cheeks while thinking about how to deal with Robin after this.
“I agree with Crystal too, Nelson. All of them have gone through so much suffering and pain. The reverse transformation can be more painful than the former. We can’t just let them go through so much pain again. Also, we don’t
know what the negative effects of reverse transformation will be on them,” Dad Kyson argued this time in a calm tone while looking at Nelson.
“We can’t ignore the possibility of Marcus‘ escape in the future. He is here for more than ten days, and we didn’t give him anything to eat or drink. He lost so much blood during interrogation. He is still very strong,” Theo said this time. in a serious tone.
“I will leave for the pack tonight with my mate. So, let’s kill him before I go back so that I can see his dead b*dy before leaving. My hands are itching. badly to put his b*dy on fire,” William told us in a calm tone, making me knit my brows in confusion.
“Why are you taking her with you? She is still unconscious, William,” I asked him while knitting my brows and tilting my head lightly. “I can’t come and go like this forever, Crystal. Also, she has to go with me sooner or later. Why not now?” William replied to me, and I was about to say that he should wait for her to wake up when Theo’s grip on my fingers tightened, making me look at him.
“William is right. His mate has to go with him at any time in the future. It’s difficult for him to go and come after every two days. Let him take his mate with him,” Theo said to me in a calm tone, and I pouted while moving my gaze from him to William.
“Don’t worry, pup. You can visit her at any time, and you know this, right?” William asked me while raising his brows questioningly. I sighed and nodded once to agree. “You didn’t come back for a long time after taking the position of Luna here. Now I can expect your visit at your own home,” William said further while shrinking his nose annoyingly.
“I also need to go back. It’s time for Killian’s coronation now,” Dad Kyson said and I pursed my l*ps into a thin line. “What is it, love?” Theo asked me while rubbing my arm lightly as he was sitting next to me around the Alpha’s desk.
“Mom also said that same thing,” I whispered in a sad tone while lowering my eyes. “Don’t you want Killian to be our king?” Theo asked me in the same tone, and I looked at him flatly. “It… it’s not about that. I am sad because I still want to spend some more days with my mother,” I answered him in a flat tone, but looked at my father with a hopeful gaze.
“Kyson is right, Crystal. It’s time for Killian’s coronation so that he can take care of your mother in a better way,” Nelson persuaded me this time, and I

raised my brows. “You also want to go back to your pack. How will you be with Mom, then?” I asked him while raising my brows questioningly.
Nelson sighed and looked at Kyson. “I decided to move to the Royal Pack. It…. It was an agreement between us that Catherine would spend some time with. me by visiting our pack, but we paid a heavy price for that arrangement. It’s already my time for retirement too. I just need to find a suitable person who can take the alpha position of my pack,” he answered me, and I nodded in agreement.
Suddenly my eyes went to Adam, who had a calm face, and something came to mind. “I know that something is weaving inside your mind, Crystal. Now spill it.” William said to me when I didn’t say a word for a good few seconds, giving him a tight smile.
“I… well… I don’t know if Adam and Nelson will agree to this, but I have a proposal,” I replied to him with a bit of hesitance this time. “Feel free to say what you have in your mind, honey. You know that I will always listen to you first,” Dad Nelson comforted me, and I passed a tight smile to him too.
I then looked at Adam and he smiled gently. “Say what you have in your mind?” he asked me too, and I took a deep breath. “Well… I… I don’t know if.. if this can work… but I think… Adam is the best person for the alpha position as your heir, Dad,” I said what I thought, and all of them raised their brows in surprise.
“Your proposal is not bad, Crystal. Adam is a born alpha, and yes, he is the most suitable person for this position. I think, both of them should consider this possibility and talk about this,” Dad Kyson also supported me, and I released a breath of relief.
I looked at Theo first. I smiled when I saw him smiling. It meant that he also had my support. I looked at Adam and Nelson and saw Nelson looking at Adam with no expression on his face. Adam had lowered his eyes but his expression was stiff.
“What do you think, Dad?” I asked Nelson in a low tone. He took a deep breath and moved his gaze from Adam to me. All of us waited for Nelson to answer. He was my father but I didn’t know if I had a say in this matter or not. All our lives, we were not aware of each other’s presence in this world, and now 1 couldn’t just barge into his life and make a decision for the whole pack.

“As my daughter, you are the next line of alpha, Crystal. This is not my decision, but sand Theo’s. I don’t know Adam much and if I talk about my knowledge of him, I heard bad things about him first, and after working with him, I could say that he is also a victim of circumstances,” he answered in a calm tone, but my heart was now thumping hard against my ribcage.
“So you agree?” I asked him in a hopeful tone. He looked back at Adam once again and then moved his gaze on me. “Although, it should be your decision, but let me think about that. I will tell my decision before leaving the pack,” Dad said in a calm tone, making me nod in understanding.
“You didn’t ask Adam if he is ready to take over a completely strange pack?” Theo asked me in a calm tone, making me glare at him again. “He is stranger to them…. You are right.. but don’t forget that I can’t just let anyone rule the pack. Although I don’t know them, they are still my people… My family. I have known Adam all my life, and that’s why I can entrust them to him instead of trusting a strange person,” I argued once again in a firm tone.
“Still he is right, Crystal. You should ask Adam too,” William said this time, and I frowned. I looked around and saw everyone looking at me but Adam had his head low. “Okay… as you say,” I answered William annoyingly and then I looked at Adam with a hopeful gaze.
“Adam,” I called him in a gentle tone when he didn’t lift his head up. He slowly lifted his head up. There was no expression in his eyes but I could say that he was sad. “Will you take care of my people for the rest of your life?” I asked him in straight words.
His eyes widened in surprise. Both Theo and William chuckled but I didn’t pay attention to them. “Will you?” I asked Adam again when he didn’t answer me but continued staring at me with a surprised look on his face.
He blinked and then looked around. I knew that everyone was now looking at us curiously. “Uhhhh…. Well… Theo is right, Crystal … th… that I am a complete stranger to them. If… if Alpha Nelson agrees, I still insist on considering the pack members‘ opinion in this matter. After all, they have to spend their whole lives with me and they also have to accept me as their alpha if they agree,” he answered me with some hesitation but his argument made me smile widely.
This is what a wise alpha should do. He was right. What he said was already in my mind but I didn’t want to say anything in this matter right now. “And about Marcus…. yes… I agree with you. We can store his blood for a long time.

The technology is already that advanced,” he continued and I frowned once. again.
I looked back at both my fathers who now looked at me with a sheepish smile at their faces. “Decide now,” I demanded in a stern tone this time. “Let’s keep him alive for one more week, and after that, we will kill him. My wolf also thinks that it will be better if we kill him soon.” Dad Kyson said in a calm tone.
“Okay… let’s do this now,” I said while bobbing my head and looking at Theo. I narrowed my eyes in confusion when I saw a faint scowl on his face. He was pissed at something that confused me. “You have to be careful, love. He is an alpha male and, above all, our mate. How can he tolerate that you are worried about some other male?” Luna said in a teasing tone, and I huffed internally.
