Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: THE RAGE (2)
At first, Tony wanted to make it as if it was only a one time thing, a mistake that he shouldn’t have done, as if it was only a single moment of his weakness, but then what Dawn said next made him realized that she knew everything.

“What do you mean?” Tony was holding onto his last hope that he could talk his way out, but Dawn was having none of it.

“I wonder, whether you treated me badly because you couldn’t stand to see me, since I look a lot like my mother, or you couldn’t look at me because every time you did that, you would see the face of the woman that you betrayed, which one is it father?”

Tony was at lost for word. He wanted to reach to his daughter, telling her how sorry he was and he regretted everything.

“I am sorry, Dawn… I didn’t mean it to happen.” Tony shook his head. As an alpha, he shouldn’t have shown his weak side, but right now, he looked so defeated and his eyes were glistened with tears and remorse. “I regret everything. I didn’t mean to hurt you and your mother…”

“My mother is dead and thankfully, she died without knowing that the mate that she loved, the father of her daughter, had betrayed her.” Dawn scoffed. “You should find that comforting.”

Tony was fighting back tears. He had gone through a fierce battle and a gruesome war, he had sone so many horrendous things about war, but he didn’t falter, yet Dawn’s word hit him so hard, he lost all of his strength.

No. Tony didn’t find it comforting. If he could, he wanted his mate to know what he had done, he wanted her to be angry with him, slapped him, hit him or did everything to take out her rage on him.

But it would never happen, because she had died.

Tony wouldn’t be able to get her to be angry with him. He wouldn’t be able to ask for her forgiveness.

“Mother always told me that you loved me, but I think you love your mistress and your other daughter more than me, than us.”

Tony shook his head. “No. Dawn, I always love you. You are my daughter…”

“So did Emily.”

Tony could feel his whole body was shaking, but his dignity as an alpha was the only thing that stopped him from groveling for Dawn’s forgiveness, stopped him from crying out loud and kneeling down in front of his daughter.

He was an alpha, his ego and dignity didn’t allow him to do that, despite how much he wanted Dawn to know that he loved her and how much he regretted everything that had happened.

“I love you, Dawn. In my heart, you are my only daughter and your mother was the love of my life, she is the love of my life.”

“And yet, you brought back your mistress and your other daughter to live under the same roof and abandoned me for years.”

Tony’s logic side still told him that this was something they could fix. “What should I do to atone to my sin, Dawn? I will do everything.”

He approached this matter from the logical side, even now, he still failed to see the extent of damage that he had done.

“There is nothing you can do father.” Dawn gritted her teeth. Her rage was palpable and this startled Tony a little bit with the fact his daughter could pull such strong aura. “You failed me and my mother and there is nothing you can do to fix it now, because the day I lost my mother is the same day I lost my father. You are dead to me.”

“Dawn… you are upset, that’s why you are being too harsh with me.” Tony shook his head and tried to approach Dawn again, to hug her, but she took a step back.

However, Tony didn’t know what ‘harsh’ Dawn could do until she said her last piece.

“It’s the wrong parent, who had died that day.” Dawn wished it was Tony, who died instead.

This time, Tony couldn’t find a word. He couldn’t even find a courage to call her name. Remorse and shame washed over him, but there was nothing more that racked him than the fact that Dawn wished him to die.

“Remember this father. I will come after you. You are the same like those rogues, who had killed my mother.” A single tear fell on her cheek, but her eyes were ablaze with hatred. “Don’t ask for my forgiveness because I will never give it to you. I will make your life miserable.”

===================================

Blake stayed in his bedroom like usual. He just took a glass of Rottingbane again this morning, which not allowed him to shift into his beast as per his father’s instruction.

However, from the window he could see there was a little bit commotion out there. It was in the middle of the night and he seemed to having a hard time to take his mind off Dawn.

The fact that alpha Zenith had mated and marked her kept messing with his mind. He should be the one, who got the honor of that!

But then, Blake overheard a guard outside of his door said something about Dawn. He immediately opened the door and asked the said guard.

“The alpha’s daughter, Dawn, is in the pack house right now.”

Hearing that, Blake immediately dashed toward the pack house. He cursed his father because he couldn’t shift into his beast and reached Dawn faster than this.

Blake was afraid that he would miss to see Dawn. What she was doing here? Did she return because thing didn’t go well with alpha Zenith? Did she come to look for him? Did she miss him like he did?

But, to Blake’s annoyance, Emily had stopped him from entering the pack house.

“I know that you wanted to see Dawn, but I will not allow you to do that.”
