Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 123 Princess Rosalle

**Rosalie’s POV

He was finally here!

And he was perfect!

Looking down at that precious little face, I smiled through my tears of joy and gently rocked the sleeping bundle in my arms.

After all of these months of carrying this sweet baby in my belly, now he was here, and I finally got to meet him.

He was every bit as beautiful as I thought he would be, with dark hair and bright blue eyes. When Seraphine had first laid him on my chest, even though I’d been in pain and so exhausted, all I could do was look at him in wonder and thank the Moon Goddess.

How could someone so amazing, so remarkable, be mine?

My son gurgled in his sleep and stretched his arm, moving a bit, and I readjusted him, wiping at my tears with my free hand. I patted his head and rewrapped the baby blanket I’d made him just a little so that it was covering him better.

Even though I didn’t want to wake him, I couldn’t help but kiss his adorable cheek.

I knew that there’d been complications during the birth, and the doctor had been concerned about the amount of blood I was losing, but then something had happened, and I had suddenly begun to recover.

| seemed to see Ethan standing there beside me, encouraging me, telling me I could do it…..

I shook my head and laughed at myself. I thought I’d let go of my past and my love for him. Why would I still want to see him at that life or death moment?

That doctor had said it was a miracle of some sort. He probably was exaggerating. Like Seraphine said, every child birth was a tough challenge for women, but most of us pulled through it eventually.

Now, all my attention should be on my precious child, not something that was no longer important.

Seraphine opened the door quietly and stuck her head in. “Mr. Soren is here to see you, Ro, if you’re up for a visitor?”

I nodded. “Of course. I’m happy to see him.”

“I’ll let him know.” She had a strange look on her face, one I could only describe as apprehensive, which I thought was strange.

I’d told her I didn’t want Soren here when I delivered the baby because I just wanted to be left to manage on my own, but now I didn’t mind if my little one met a friend of mine.

The smile on Soren’s face when he walked in lit up the room. “Oh, my goodness!” he said, whispering but still full of excitement. “I can’t believe how adorable he is!”

I beamed in response. “He is, isn’t he?”

“Wow! And you look great!” He leaned down and kissed my cheek before pulling out a box. I couldn’t take it because my hands were full, so he opened it. I could see that it was a necklace that read, “Mommy,” in gold with diamonds on each letter.

‘It’s beautiful. Thank you, Soren.” It really was beautiful. He set it on the nightstand next to me,
