Chapter 351: Despite It All
“The ability to control their transformations and other associated wolf-like characteristics,” the doctor said before nodding his head once.
“Oh...” I murmured when I started to see where the problem may lie.
“As I said before, each individual experience this differently. Even when the ultimate alpha has grown into an adult, some have extremely good and precise control of their transformation while some do not. Some can command their bodies to transform and then transform back at will. While some have very poor to no control over their transformation and urges at all. However, when it comes to a fetus...” the doctor said before heaving a sigh.
“The fetus has no control over this...at all...” I stated the conclusion that I had reached.
“Exactly. While the baby is in the womb, the baby may partially or wholly transform in an uncontrollable manner. Most human womb and body cannot accommodate this transformation and that may lead to a miscarriage or even put the mother’s life at risk...” the doctor explained with a solemn expression on his face.
For a moment I didn’t know how to react. The doctor surely did a good job in explaining in simple terms what must have been the greatest risk in carrying a hybrid baby.
“But there are cases of success too, right? I mean, the princes are living proofs of that,” I pointed out.
“You’re right. There are successful cases, but I have to say that they are rare. For most people, they can’t even conceive in the very first place. For the very few who manage to conceive, most will face complications that will eventually lead to a miscarriage or even a forced abortion to save the life of the mother. It is all in all very risky,” the doctor said before pressing his lips into a tight thin line.
I could tell that he was trying his best to be honest although it must have been difficult for him to be the bearer of such bad news. A lump formed in my throat, and I had to admit that I was scared. My thoughts immediately went to Roxanna and the state that she was in.
