182 Her Mate Can Save Her Life 

We all held our breath, waiting for the slightest chance to save the one whose loss would weigh so heavily in our hearts. 

Cerina looked up at me. “Unless her true fated mate is willing to repay the Goddess on the queen’s be half.” 

I froze. 

“What… Did you say?” 

My heart was about to jump out of my chest. 

She didn’t answer my question. Instead, she continued her explanation. “However, we all know Queen Rosalie doesn’t have a mate,” she said, “and even if she does, knowing her, she would never want her mate 

to-” 

“So her mate can save her life?” | asked, cutting her off mid-sentence. I needed confirmation. I tried to stop my voice from trembling so that others wouldn’t sense my emotions, 

Cerina’s mouth parted slightly as she stuttered over her words, “I don’t know that for sure…” 

I’d do anything for her… but if her mate could save her… if I was that mate who could save her what would I need to do? 

“How?” 

A confused gaze fell upon her face as she pondered why I was questioning her. 

“Cerina, if… I mean, if we were able to find her mate, and he is willing to do this for her, what would he need to do?” 

She shook her head again. “I don’t know. It may be up to her true mate to figure out…” 

“Her true mate?” 

This time, Seraphine answered me. “Only the fated mate who completes the full mate bond can be rec ognized as the true mate by the Moon Goddess.” 

Looking down at Rosalie, I couldn’t bear the thought of her no longer walking this earth. 

She had fought hard over all the time that I had known her to find her proper place in life, and every time she made headway, something pulled her back and stopped her from being able to be free. 

She had just found her people. She had just started to live her life with freedom and love. She had just begun to experience that, and I wouldn’t let that change. 

Her people needed her, and our son needed her. I would not allow her to die! 

I brushed over her face and sat there in silence. 

“Alpha Ethan,” Seraphine said, “I knew that this is hard for you. Her Majesty told me some of her past with you.” 

I looked toward the older woman, I’d seen her with Rosalie ever since the islands, and it seemed that Rosalie relied on and trusted her. I said, “Thank you for looking after her all along.” 

She sighed, “You have always been the person who is so special in her life. She might not tell you so, but I know you are one of the most important people in her life. Given the chance again, she would make 

the exact same choices.” 

My throat was tight. 

“She was so happy that you are the father of her baby,” she concluded. 

Vicky and Georgia started to cry again. To them, there was no hope because no one knew that Rosalie was my mate!
