Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: HE TOOK A GOOD CARE OF HER
Dawn enjoyed this forest. She waited for Zenith to return obediently, as she stared at the clear sky when she heard a rustling sound from the bushes. She thought it was Zenith, but soon she realized it was not him.

Dawn was on alert, as she straightened her back and fixed her eyes on the source of the sound. She immediately stood up when a man emerged from behind a tree.

He had a shoulder length hair that he tied behind his nape, tan skinned and bulky figure. He was wearing a simple clothes and pants. From the look of it, he was probably a villager nearby.

But more importantly, he was a shifter. Dawn could recognize it.

He saw her too and then walked toward her.

At first, Dawn wanted to ignore him, but it seemed this strange man didn’t have the same intention.

“Are you here alone?” He asked in his gruffy tone.

“No. I am not.” Dawn took a closer look at him and recognized him. “Rye?”

“How do you know me?” The man frowned.

Right at that time, Zenith returned with some fruits and approached the two of them. “I found her. You can leave now, Rye.”

The man named Rye approached Zenith and took an apple from him. “Fine. Tell Zander that we found the perpetrator. It’s hard for me to send a letter.”

“Hm.” Zenith swatted his hand when he wanted to take one more apple from him. “You can leave now.”

Rye scoffed and then left.

“Do you know him?” Dawn approached Zenith. “I remember I saw him in the west.” She remembered Lyra told her to find Rye and Lucia in the west if something bad happened and she needed a place to hide and run away from the north.

“He is one of our spies in the west,” Zenith replied. He told this top secret to Dawn as if it was nothing. “Keep it a secret, okay?”

“What is he doing here?”

“Looking for you.” Zenith clean the fruits in the river and gave them to her to eat.

“You used a hidden spy to look for me?” Dawn was surprised, she would be shocked if she learned Zenith even used his golden stamp to mobilize ten thousand royal warriors to look for her.

“I need to utilize everything that I have to find you.”

“You don’t need to go that far.”

Zenith stared at her for a while, his voice softened. “I can go further than that, Dawn.” He had proved it. Using a hidden spy was merely a drop of water in the ocean for what he would do for her.

“You don’t need to feel so guilty with me, you have not done anything wrong in this lifetime.”

Zenith nodded, agreed and then he looked at her gloomily. “I know right? But, why are you still mad at me?”

Oh, he was really good with his words!

Dawn felt like she fell into his trick. Now, she couldn’t be angry with him, because it would be against what she said earlier.

This man was really annoying!

Thankfully, Zenith didn’t talk about it anymore, neither he tried to make his point. He simply took care of her.

“I can walk,” Dawn said when they were ready to go.

“Don’t be ridiculous. It’s still a few hours away.”

“You need to get some rest too.”

“I am not pregnant, Dawn.”

In the end, Dawn couldn’t argue with him and get on his back. Of course, it was better to be carried like this, but she was still worried that he would tire himself out unnecessarily.

However, after walking for an hour and the alpha looked at ease, Dawn fell asleep on his back. She was exhausted, emotionally and physically. She wanted to rest her body and mind.

She had confronted her father and saw the regret in his eyes, but she didn’t feel satisfied. She felt hollow. It didn’t matter now, because she didn’t want to see him again.

With the comfort of her mate’s back and the quiet forest, while the birds chirping, Dawn closed her eyes and fell asleep. This must be the most peaceful sleep she had for the last few days.

Zenith glanced at his mate and slowed down his steps, because he didn’t want to wake her up. But, above that, he wanted to enjoy his alone time with Dawn.

Back to the Moonlight pack, alpha Tony started to get on Darius’s nerves when he learned that alpha Zenith had gone missing, looking for Dawn.

“What happened with the two of them? Did they fight? Why she left the capital city alone?” Alpha Tony kept asking question. It was weird that Dawn return alone, but at that time, he didn’t think much about it. “Did alpha Zenith do something bad to my daughter that caused her to run away?”

“This is none of your business.” Darius lost his patient, he was ready to leave this pack, since he knew that Zenith was no longer here.

He must have figured out where Dawn had gone, but Darius couldn’t follow his line of thought. He couldn’t even figure out what he was thinking, despite being his gamma.

“Of course, this is my business! She is my daughter!” alpha Tony raised his voice, he was frustrated.

“As far as I know, my luna is no longer saw you as her father. You didn’t even attend the royal ceremony for the two of them.” Darius looked so calm, but deadly. “This is only a piece of advice from me, you don’t need to worry about my luna, because she is in a good hand now.”

Right at that time, a warrior reported to Darius that they managed to find the alpha and the luna in the village near the western area.

“We are leaving now.” Darius issued an order. He was relief that Zenith finally found Dawn.

However, little did they know, Blake had been eavesdropping their conversation and he intended to leave as well.
