Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 209 Farewell and Forever

“It‘s a lovely morning, isn‘t it?”

Ethan Vicky Paul, and I were outside playing with Rowan when I saw Soren‘s familiar form walking slowly toward us

My stomach twisted into knots. For some reason, I knew that he had something important to say to us, and the way he was walking made me think that, whatever it was, I wasn‘t going to like it.

Rowan waved and said, “Uncky!” his attempt to say uncle. It was adorable, and Soren‘s face lit up. He went over to his nephew and carefully stopped the swing Vicky had been pushing.

“You‘re such a smart little guy,” Soren said. He bent down and kissed his nephew‘s cheek, and Rowan patted him lovingly on the face a bit before he shouted that he wanted “mower!” which meant more swinging.

He handed Rowan to Vicky and Paul. The couple took Rowan away over to the swing, leaving the three of us some privacy

You look much better now,” I said, very happy to see Soren‘s recovery progress,

He pulled up a silly smile. “Of course! Not that many people get fed by the White Queen‘s priceless blood on a daily basis for an entire week! Goddess, my body is so energetic that it feels like I‘m ten years younger!”

Ethan commented, “Your IQ too,”

i choked on the sip of water I was taking.

“I take it as you‘re jealous of my youthful strength and dare not face the challenge.”

Ethan arched his brow. “No interest. I‘m not an eleven–year–old.”

“Come on! Why don‘t we go for a race through the woods, down to the river? We can watch the sun finish rising from there.”

I looked at the horizon where the sun was nearly up. Pinks, oranges, and yellows still painted the sky, a beautiful sight.

“It sounds like a good idea.” I smiled at them both. It wasn‘t often that I got to run side by side with the two most powerful he–wolves in the world.

Also, I had a feeling that Soren hadn‘t picked this task randomly. It meant something to him.

“You asked for it,” Ethan finally agreed with a smirk.

I picked up a bag of clothes for us to change, and the three of us took off running through the dew–covered grass.
