Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: A PERVERT
Zenith didn’t understand a single thing about poison, but he still made an effort to taste it first. At the very least, if there was something wrong with the concoction, he would feel the effect too.

“Do you want me to teach a thing or two about poison?” Dawn was not serious about it, this was a knowledge that she learned from Lyra in her spare time, since she didn’t have a lot of friends to talk to.

However, Zenith was serious with the offer. “Yes, please do.” He leaned over and kissed her forehead. “But before that, you need to get well first.”

Zenith helped her to drink the medicine and she lay down on the bed again, they chatted for a while until her meal came and she ate it, only then Dawn slept again.

Zenith didn’t go anywhere and his gamma became frustrated with him, because there was a couple of things that he had to take care of related to the affair in the north.

“What spell did you put on him? He didn’t leave your side at all,” Darius said, he talked in low voice when he came to their bedroom and hand over the report that Zenith needed to check.

While the alpha was sitting in the sofa to check the report, Darius tiptoed to the bed and talked to Dawn. He was very frustrated with Zenith.

“Really?”

“You don’t know how insane the protection around your room during the unrest.” Darius shook his head and clicked his tongue. “He didn’t even go out and help his brother during that time.”

“I think he had helped the king enough all this time.” Dawn shrugged her shoulders. She felt slightly better on the third day after she regained her consciousness, it was only there was these weird memories that kept popping up in her mind.

Darius grimaced. “That was how Zenith answered too.”

Dawn chuckled. “Great mind thinks alike.” She chuckled to see the expression that the gamma made.

“Can you do me a favor and ask Zen to finish all the report? He will not listen to me, but obviously you are different case.”

Darius learned this quickly since the beginning, but the way Zenith treated her after the royal ceremony cemented his assumption about how deep the alpha cared for her. Not only because Dawn was the collateral damage between Zenith and alpha Tony, but also because he truly cared for her.

“Are you trying to hand over your responsibility to me?” Dawn could see through him.

“This is what you called ‘asking for help’,” Darius corrected her wisely.

Both of them startled when Zenith suddenly noticed that his gamma had scooted over to talk to his mate. “What are you doing there?”

“Nothing.” Darius immediately stood up and rushed toward the door and left, but before he closed the door, he shouted to his alpha to finish the report by evening and he would collect it.

“What were you talking about?” Zenith came over and kissed Dawn’s forehead. He sat down next to her and checked on the wound on her neck. The mark was healing slowly.

“Nothing.”

Zenith narrowed his eyes when Dawn was being playful, as she answered the same way like Darius.

“He asked for my help to make sure you finished reading the report,” Dawn said between her chuckles, she was in a good mood.

“I will change your bandage.”

Just now Dawn told him not to tardy with the report or Darius would cry a river, but the next second the alpha was ready to tend to his mate again.

“I can ask Celine to do it, the report…”

Zenith pecked her lips to stop her from talking. “I will change your bandage,” he stated, leaving no room for argumentation.

Dawn blushed. He became very attentive ever since she woke up and she felt very spoiled by him. “Okay.”

Dawn let him to change the bandage on her neck, while she ate her food. Zenith was very careful and gentle with her, he would apologize if he touched her wound and Dawn flinched.

But, actually the hardest part was when he put an ointment on her wound and he blew it before he bandaged it.

Dawn felt like her heart would leap to her throat, his warm breath caressed her skin and he was so close with her, which led her mind to go astray as she remembered the time they mated for the first time. It was embarrassing, but somehow, Dawn relived the memory more than she could count.

[If someone knew what I am thinking, would they think I am a girl with loose morals?]

“Actually, people tend to think I am the one with loose morals. But, just in case, you can act like a victim.”

Dawn was mortified, not because of what Zenith said, but because he actually answered the question in her mind.

“Y- You can hear what I said?”

Zenith pressed his smile to see the panic in her eyes. “We are mate now, you accepted the bond between us, so it is only natural for me to be able to have a mindlink with you, no?”

Dawn froze. “How long have you been listening to my thought?” She didn’t think she wanted to hear the answer.

“Well, you can say that I have been reliving that mating moment with you.” Zenith chuckled. “What do you think the reason why I have been staying around? It’s so nice to see it from your perspective.”

Dawn felt like she wanted to faint. She wished the ground cracked open and swallowed her whole.

She shrieked and pulled the blanket to cover her body and face.

“Come out, you will strain your neck.”

“You are a pervert!”

Zenith laughed with the accusation. “As far as I know, you are the one, who has been thinking about that moment, shouldn’t I be the one, who called you a pervert?”

“Zenith!”

It’s not fair! Why Dawn couldn’t hear what he was thinking?
