"Each one of these girls is at least 1/4 werewolf, and possessive the omega gene, your majesty. We've gathered up all of the most suitable women to suit your needs. They're all healthy."

Lucian stared at the closed door, where just past it stood the woman that would carry his pup. He just had to choose her. "Are they all willing to do so?"

The caretaker of the house hesitated, and that told Lucian all he needed to know. "Most of them understand this is for a greater cause."

"And the ones that don't?"

"They're aware that you are their King, and they cannot refuse. It's an honor to do this task for you, your majesty. They will see it in time."

Lucian sighed, and turned towards the door, moving to open it and get through this. No matter the cost, he needed to pick who would give him what he wanted most, what he needed to ensure his pack was safe, no matter the cost.
