Chapter 176 His Blue Eyes

Ethan's eyes were blue again, the same shade as our baby's!

Ethan grunted and tried to push himself up but failed. I could tell he was still very weak. He lookedaround us a bit confused and lowered his head to look at his own hands.

It worked! He was himself again!

“Rosalie, you..."

Ethan stared at me with his stunning blue eyes, and for a moment, I was brought back to the timewhen I first met him. Bittersweet memories flooded through my mind, and all of a sudden,everything in the past seemed so far away, and right now, all I wanted to do was to throw my armsaround him and welcome him back.

But I didn't have the strength to do so, nor did I know whether I should

So many things had happened between us, and I wasn't sure how I would face him going forward.I didn't know what Ethan wanted from me. At that point, I didn't have the energy or the courage toreplace out.

Therefore, I simply smiled and nodded at him, just like a queen would. “Welcome back, AlphaEthan!”

Neither of us spoke afterward, and we both moved our gazes away from each other.

Luckily, Vicky's voice broke the awkward silence. “What was that?” She jumped up from the ground,clearly frightened by what she'd just seen

Georgia had told everyone from Ethan's group to stay back when the ritual started, but she hadn'thad the chance to explain further.

“That was the soul returning to the body,” Cerina explained to her. Because Her Majesty touchedAlpha Ethan as his soul was going into his body, a bit of his soul is now infused into her.”

I looked at her, wondering what that would mean for me.

Cerina looked at me. “Your fates will now be further entwined with each other.”

I didn't know what to think.

Seeing my worried expression, Cerina tried to make things sound a bit lighter. “Do not worry. Yourfates were already bound by your child anyway.”

I nodded and looked at Ethan, who remained quiet.

Talon walked over, offering Ethan a hand, but Ethan could barely lift his arm.

Cerina gently pushed down Talon’s extended arm and said, “Technically, the ritual hasn't been fullycompleted yet. We need to stay here for another day. The magic power from the altar will helpAlpha Ethan to fully regain control of his body, mind, and soul.”

It was then that I noticed that the altar illuminated a slightly soft silver glow surrounding Ethan, andCerina explained further, “As soon as the glow from the altar fades, he will be back to his true self.”Talon frowned, but Georgia stepped up with Rowan in her arms. “Don’t worry Talon! We're all friendshere.” Then she smiled at Cerina as well. “Right?”

Cerina nodded. She stood up and lowered her head to talk to Ethan. “Alpha Ethan, in any case, weshall thank you for returning our queen to us. We also owe you our gratitude for saving our queenand prince a while back. Now, as a return of favor, please allow us to help you until you fullyrecover.”

Ethan's voice was hoarse, and he replied gracefully, “Thank you for your hospitality.”

After saying those few words, he closed his eyes, seemingly not wanting to communicate more withanyone.

Was he too weak to stay awake, or was he trying to avoid me? I was a bit disappointed as I reallydidn't know what I wanted. I had

buen trying to run away from Ethan and return to my pack. Now that I was there, I didn't feel ashappy as I thought I would

I was confused by myself. This was everything I wanted, right? Be with my son, be with my pack, andnot have to deal with Ethan anymore

Based on Ethan's flat reaction, I had to question whether he really had feelings for me.

He told me many times that he loved me, before and after I was imprisoned by the Rogue King. Butwere any of those his real feelings?

Could it be that the only reason that the Rogue King had been keeping me as his prisoner wasbecause he needed someone to fulfill his physical desire? Or again, simply because he wanted myson?

I watched him lying next to me without any words and couldn't hide the hurt I was feeling. I didn'tknow what to think. He hadn't even asked me to forgive him for what he had done to me.

At the very least, I expected him to apologize, but he said nothing at all.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?’ Cerina’s voice echoed through the mindlink. I knew she wantedto discuss something in private.

I am tired, but I am doing well. Don't worry.’

“Let me check your hair..."

I smiled and assured her, “Not a strand of white, I promise!’

She walked over next to me. After running her fingers through my hair, she finally let out a breath ofrelief.

“See, I told you! I winked at her.

Georgia sat down next to me and Ethan, and Rowan immediately wanted to reach out to me.

“Hey, hey. You've got your aunt here. Let your mother rest. Okay, boy?” Georgia pretended to scoldRowan, and the little one just kept cooing at her.

Ethan's eyes opened again, and I could tell his gaZe on Rowan was tender and soft. Somethingsuddenly struck me. Taking a moment to think through it all, I looked down at Rowan, and fearflooded me like a broken dam.

I asked Cerina through the mindlink, Will Rowan inherit the power as well?’

“No.’ She smiled and glanced at Ethan as she said, "You both are lucky. The gift only passes with thefemales, and not the males. So His Highness will not have the same risk as you. If the two of youdon't have another child that is female... the power will die with you, Your Majesty’

Cerina’s answer was a huge relief. I smiled and leaned over to plant a kiss on Rowan’s cheek.

Today was a lucky day, full of good news...,

The sun started to set, and the temple dimmed. But it wasn't too dark as the candles illuminated thespace softly.

It was peaceful. Cerina went to let everyone know we would be waiting in the temple overnight andstarted to work with Seraphine to help others to get comfortable, while Talon took the lead toarrange the patrol schedule for the night

Since there wasn’t much else for me to do, chatting with my friends seemed to be a great way tostart the night.

Vicky leaned over to my ear and whispered, “Look at you! The White Queen! It just sounds so...magnificent!” I

My face blushed. “Vicky, don't make fun of me. I'm still getting used to it..."

She winked, straightened her face, and bowed to me with a voice as low as she could get, saying,"Yes, Your Majesty!”

Georgia and Ethan were the only two close enough to hear. Georgia burst out laughing, and Iblushed more.

"Vicky..." I covered my face with my hands.

"Vicky!" That was Ethan.

Vicky immediately jumped behind Paul while responding without delay, “Yes, Alpha! I'm sorry!”Georgia laughed even louder.

# was almost unreal that laughter returned to my life, and it reminded me of hanging out withGeorgia and Vicky when we were back

** the capitol. Those were such good days

1. Pau tried to distract Ethan's attention from Vicky. He scrutched the back of his head and ankedme, "May I auk a question?”

“Of course

"Why do they call you the White Queen?”

This question caught me off guard. Of course, I knew the answer, but it wasn't something I wantedto go into in too much detail.

As I was working on an acceptable answer, Georgia answered the question for me.

“It's the title for the queens of the Winter Forest pack. It is said that their queens have the power ofthe Moon Goddeos,” Georgia began. “Whenever the pack faces a great crisis, the queen will borrowthe power from the Moon Goddess and lead the pack 10 victory

Rowan cooed in Georgia's arms, and she gently bounced him a couple of times. Then the little onenoticed the man lying on the ground and reached out to him. He wanted his father.

I looked down and saw that Ethan's blue eyes were locked on me. They were calm and peaceful andseemed to be... concerned?

Theard Georgia continue, “When that happens, the power of the Moon Goddess will turn thequeen's hair totally white. The pack has been able to survive because of their queens’ leadershipand power, and that's why the queen of the Winter Forest pack is known as the White Queen.”Whoa! That just sounds so cool!” Paul exclaimed while Vicky elbowed him.

“Not cool at all! If their hair turns white, it means their pack is facing a big crisis! We don't need thatkind of trouble right now!"

"Oh yeah, you're right!” Paul quickly agreed with his mate.

I didn't want to continue this topic and at the same time, an irresistible tiredness swept over mybody. I yawned and stretched. “I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted!”

Cerina had returned and heard my comments. “The ritual consumes a lot of energy, Your Majesty.You should get some rest. It's been a long day.” She assured me, “We'll keep an eye on the princeand Alpha Ethan.”

tt

I was awoken by the commotion outside of the temple. Neither Cerina nor Seraphine was anywhereto be seen.

"What's going on outside?”

“Your Majesty,” a nearby guard answered. “People from nearby villages heard about your arrival andare now gathered outside of the temple.”

“They want to see me? For what?” I was confused.

“They are here to greet their Queen.” Georgia walked toward me and helped me up.

Vicky was holding Rowan now instead

Ethan's eyes were still closed. He seemed to be bothered a little bit. We only needed a few morehours before the ritual was completed, so I decided to check out the situation outside of the templefirst.

As I was about to walk away, I heard a groan. “Ah-11"

“Ethan? Are you okay?” I asked him, concerned, as I rested my hand on his shoulder.

He rolled over onto his other side, his face frozen in a grimace.

“I'm-fine,” he managed, but I didn't believe him.

I wondered if giving him some of my blood would help. However, I decided not to try that withouttalking to Cerina or Seraphine.

Cerina,’ I mindlinked her immediately.

"Good morning, Your Majesty.’

Ethan seems to be in pain. What should we do now? Do you think my blood would help him?""Well not in this case He just needs to restore his energy. It's expected. Your Majesty, let's bepatient. We're almost there,’ she

responded. However, may I ask Your Majesty to come out to greet the people?’

“Of course,’ I answered Cerina, then told the others, “Ethan is going to be alright. Don’t worry, I needto go out for a little bit, but let me know if things change.”

“We will. You be careful,” Vicky said.

I gave Rowan a quick kiss and headed toward the entrance of the temple.

Walking outside, I was immediately greeted with a roar of applause and cheers. I wasn't expectingthat, and my heart was thumping

due to a bit of nervousness.

“It's the White Queen!” people were shouting. “We are so blessed to have you!”

“Queen Rosalie!”

“Long live Queen Rosalie!”

“May the Moon Goddess look after you, Queen Rosalie!”

I raised a hand and waved at them, but that wasn't enough. The crowd of people came toward me,bowing their heads and pressing their palms together, as if they were praying to the MoonGoddess-to thank her for me.

I spent a great deal of time walking around, thanking everyone for their support. It was great tohave a chance to speak to all of my — people.

After a while, seeing I was getting tired, Cerina walked next to me and advised me to get back inCerina said the crowd would stay there until we left the temple.

"Okay," I told her with a nod. I bid the masses goodbye and headed inside, intending to return toEthan and see how he was doing.

But I didn't get that far.

Someone unexpected followed us into the temple.

“Rosalie!”

“Soren?” I was happy to see him, but also surprised.

Before I could say anything else though, Soren urged me, “No time to catch up. You need to leave,right now!”

"Why? We can“t...Ethan still needs...”

“A massive force is coming here. Madalynn and Behar are in the lead!"
