The foot cart was filled with many delicious and healthy dishes. There were two delicious eggs, a grilled lean chicken, a side of vegetables along with soup, and there was also a pot filled with what was probably tea and a pitcher of water.

The amount of food there was already enough to make her feel full. There were also some desserts included in the cart. Glazed muffins with lots of syrup on top that made Sophie's mouth water.

It was such a hearty meal. Sophie felt a bit surprised to know that she was expected to eat that much after giving birth. She did, in fact, feel very ravenous and felt her body was craving for food.

Dinah cleared her throat and spoke. "You can eat first and we can discuss things later once you're not in a bad mood. Being hungry can lead you to act in ways that are not yourself."

Wordlessly, Sophie reached out to the plate but then turned to Dinah. "Thank you for the food, Dinah. Uhm... perhaps you can eat with me? Would you like to join me for breakfast?"

Dinah batted her eyes at that request. She thought it was rude to say no, but she also didn't think it was good to eat together with the Alpha's wife. Finally, Dinah joined Sophie for a meal with her.

The female lycan accepted a muffin because she had already eaten earlier. Soon, the two women slowly enjoyed the silence as they ate.

It didn't take too long for Sophie to finally glance at the maidservant and friend who had accompanied her for the past four months. She fiddled with her hands and asked Dinah, "So you being a lycan… and well, this Alpha? Pack? Hiding here?"

Dinah realized that Sophie was not familiar with the dynamics within the pack. She actually wondered if Sophie actually knew that she was now their Luna and became mates with their Alpha.

"How much do you humans know about us lycans?" Dinah asked and folded her hands together. "The Alpha is the leader of their pack and his second in command is the Beta. And well, his mate is called the Luna. There are Omegas in our pack too."

"I'm a bit familiar with that because it was discussed in our Cow dung Academy," Sophie explained, and yet there was something else that made her a bit worried.

​ "What seems to be on your mind?" Dinah asked.

Sophie bit down on her lip, hesitating visibly before she eventually looked at Dinah. "If I… married your Alpha, does it mean that I'm the Luna of your pack? Or does it not count because it's a human wedding?"

Dinah coughed. It was a topic that Dinah may have started out with, but she was afraid of what their Alpha might do if she was the one who revealed it and not Leland.

"There are certain requirements involved in order to become Luna but it is not in my position to explain," Dinah smiled. "For now, what's important is that you are safe in the Blood River Pack."

"And the reason why you guys took me in and my children is because I… or rather my children are lycans?" Sophie glanced at her sleeping children with a soft smile. "Were you guys able to identify me as someone carrying the same as your kind?"

Dinah raised a hand, "Perhaps a skilled lycan is able to detect it via the sense of smell and to which humans may not be able to detect at all. However, for questions such as this one, I'd like to refer you to the Alpha and not me."

"Of course…" Sophie sighed a little and then sipped her tea.

"Do you have any more questions that I could perhaps answer?" Dinah raised a brow. "I think the Alpha told us to let you rest and recover and right now. He is even asking some of the female lycans to help us make our lycan cub formulation drink."

"Huh?" Sophie batted an eye in confusion. "You mean milk? Wouldn't my children need to drink from me?"

"Of course, they can," Dinah smiled. "However, we also have our own special drink that we make. Well, it's actually a ritual that we do during the full moon which involves evoking the Moon Goddess to bless the newborn lycan puppies."

"And this formulation is… from the Moon Goddess?"

"No, we gather fresh and pure water, have the women in the group go up to the highest peaks available and then we let the moonlight shine on it, offering gifts so that our children can grow strong and blessed by the goddess."

When Sophie finally found the strength to stand up and decided to head to Duke Romanov's study, she would find herself being beaten by the man himself who came by her room and actually had his men with him.

Leland cleared his throat and nodded slightly at Sophie. "I came here and brought you some things that could help you take care of your children. The Moon Tonic that the female lycans give to their children is also here, delivered from our pack."

"A-ah, thank you… Duke Romanov." Sophie curtsied a little when she saw him, a bit unsure of what to refer to him now and what to think of so many items that the Alpha brought.

Normally she only saw Duke Romanov by himself so it was strange to see him with others.

However, the truth was that Leland was a bit unsure of how to approach Sophie and did not wish to make her feel uncertain around him. He was not familiar with how a female lycan took care of her cubs so he did his best to research.

When his mother gave birth to another son, Leland was left by himself and only saw the affection of Isolde, his mother, be shown to her second born. It was at that period that Leland's father, Alpha Leon, decided to pay attention to his mate.
