Chapter 218 Bonus Story Ethan & Rosalle-Wedding Gifte

**Rosalie’s POV

Thuty gifte I had thirty gifts for thirty years for my wonderful soon to be husband, I couldn’t wait for Ethan to see each of them, and i hoped he would enjoy each present as much as I had enjoyed preparing them,

When I than walked into our room to see the thirty packagem aitting on the coffee table, his eyes widened “Wow, quess some of our wedding packages got here early,” he sald,

1 giggled, “No, these aren’t from wedding gueote. These are for you,” I told him

“What?” Ethan’s eyes bulged. “For me? Why?”

“Because.. I wanted you to see that I appreciate who you are now, and that I appreciate all of the years that have gone into making you who you are right now.”

“Gosh, Rosalie,” he said. “I don’t know what to say, I wasn’t expecting this,”

“Well, open them!” I urged him, so he did.

Ethan sat on the couch, and I handed him the present for his first year, which was a small blanket i had crocheted for him. “A blanket was one of the first things I’d ever made for Rowan, From a mother to her precious child, I wasn’t sure whether you ever got something like this, but I want you to know how precious you were to me..”.

The present for his second year was one of the books he loved to read to Rowan He told me that it was the oame book his father read to him from as far back as his first memories

“This is to let you know what a wonderful father you are. Rowan adores you, just like how you odored your father when you were little,” I explained,

His third gift was a carved wolf…

He kept opening all of the gifts as I explained their special meanings, his eyes wide with surprise and wonder at each one until he got to the final gift,

When he unwrapped it, he pulled out the elegant gold photo frame i’d picked out for him. Inside, was a photo of our little family-Ethan, Rowan, and me.

“I love all of the gifts,” he murmured, and I thought I saw his eyes glistening with unshed tears,

“Do you have a favorite?” | asked with a smile. “Just curious,”

“Yes, I do.” He pulled me onto his lap and held me close,” The best present i could ever hope for-is you.”

The next day, I found myself standing in an elaborate gown, waiting for the music to change so that I knew it was my cue to walk down the aisle. I knew that Ethan was up there waiting with me, standing next to the high priest, and Talon and Paul were standing with him as his best men.

Georgia and Vicky had already made their way down the aisle, along with the flower girl and ringbearer.

I wished I had a man with me to walk me to him, someone who loved me like a father, but I had no one like that. If Soren was there, I would’ve asked him to do it, but since he was gone, I had asked Seraphine.

“Are you ready, dear?” she asked me, patting my arm.

“I’m ready,” I told her. Taking a deep breath, we stepped off just as the music changed to the traditional wedding song.

From the moment my eyes met Ethan’s, I was no longer aware of anything else going on around me.

The formal ceremony went on with me in a daze, staring at his handsome face. I said the things I was supposed to say, slid his ring on his finger, all of that, but when it was over, I was shocked it had all gone by so fast because I was concentrating on Ethan. After the wedding, we had a grand formal reception where Alphas from many parts of our lands came to congratulate us and present us with gifts Many of the presents were expensive pieces of art or antiques that represented the different lands in our kingdom. It was lovely to see all of them and hear the representatives explain their significance

But it was also exhausting!

By the time the formal reception was over, I was so tired, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to make it to our other reception. A small, intimate one.

“Come on, baby,” Ethan said. “You know you will be reenergized as soon as you see all of our friends.”

He was right, I knew I would, too, and since Rowan was already there with his Aunt Georgia and Uncle Talon, I decided to drag myself over to the ballroom in the castle.

As soon as I walked in the door, my son was reaching for me, toddling over on unsteady legs.

I scooped him up just as the MC announced our arrival, and Ethan and I danced in together, with Rowan in my arms,

Our friends rushed over to congratulate and hug us, and Ethan was right. I felt reenergized, and before too long, I was out on the dance floor spinning around in my elegant gown, twirling and dancing with Georgia and Vicky.

We were all having such a great time, I never wanted it to end.

The cake was delicious, as was the meal that the chefs prepared for the occasion. Later, after all of the formal events were over, Ethan took my hand and led me out to the dance floor.

In his arms, I swayed back and forth to a love song the band was playing. It made me feel like we were the only two people in the world, and I loved having his strong arms around me.copy right hot novel pub
