Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE PALACE
The first thing that Zenith did when he got to the village was to rent an inn for both of them and asked someone to look for a healer to check on Dawn’s condition.

He couldn’t take any risk with his mate. He needed to make sure that his mate was fine, though he could see the little light looked fine. It would perch on Dawn’s shoulder.

“She is fine, sir. She is only tired,” The old healer informed Zenith, she seemed not to notice Zenith’s identity, but it was for good.

Zenith tossed her a golden coin and she left happily. It was way more than her cost for only checking on a perfectly healthy person.

“She is a swindler. How she couldn’t say that I am pregnant?” Dawn frowned. She asked about her pregnancy, but the healer said she was not pregnant. “Or, are you joking with me?” She believed Zenith, since it happened before, but just in case he messed around with her.

“Wait for a few more week and the healer will be able to tell that you are pregnant.” Zenith fed her with deer meat. It was impressive for him to be able to find this specific meat here.

“How do you know about my pregnancy even before the healer could detect it?” Dawn chewed on her meat and heard his explanation about the little light, about his unstable beast and also about Aurel, and why he needed her.

Zenith told her everything and more. He didn’t want any misunderstanding between them, he didn’t want to hide anything from her, because that was what destroyed them before.

“You are being a chatter,” Dawn chuckled. “Darius used to complain that you didn’t even explain the order that you gave him.”

“Because it’s not important for him to know.”

“But, it’s important for me to know all of that?”

“Yes.”

Dawn understood that. She realized the small misunderstanding between them had built up into something that out of their control. If they wanted to make things work now, they really needed to get rid all of the potential misunderstanding.

“Now, you don’t need Aurel anymore?” Dawn was stuck up in that part. She didn’t want to appear demanding, but the presence of that healer was really annoying.

“No. I don’t.” Zenith put down the empty plate and licked the remaining sauce on the corner of Dawn’s lips, which made her flustered. He became very handsy with her, but she wouldn’t admit it that she liked it.

“Can you send her back to the Holy Kingdom?”

“That’s my plan. My sister will come in a few weeks.” Zenith climbed the bed and sat down behind her, while she rested her back against his chest, she did it very naturally.

“Princess Zaya?” Dawn snuggled against his arms, feeling safe and comfortable. She forgot to be still angry with him. “How is she?” She was rather nervous to meet his little sister. She had lived with one and she didn’t get along, thus she was worried.

“She is more like Zander,” he said, which made Dawn frowned. Because her first impression of the king was when he tried to kill her, which was not a good impression to say the least. “Don’t worry. She is nice, but if you don’t like her, you don’t need to see her.”

“That will make me look bad.” Dawn didn’t agree with him.

“You only need to look good for me.” Zenith kissed her head.

Later that night, both of them slept well. It seemed, all the trouble finally ended and they could start to live happily with their child, but in the morning, they were woken up by the sound of the knocking on the door and Darius’s voice, calling them.

Zenith immediately woke up and rushed toward the door before this noise could wake Dawn up. He growled at his gamma.

“What’s going on?”

“Zander fell sick again,” he said with urgency. “You need to return to the palace now before anyone noticed this.”

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

“You need to breastfeed your baby, Emily,” Julia said, almost pleading with her daughter. “At least, until we found a wet nurse for him.”

Emily gave birth early than they predicted because of what Blake had done, therefore they were not prepared for this. The baby looked so weak too. His body was so small and he kept crying.

“I am in pain, why should I breastfeed him? I am also sick, but no one cared about me!” Emily snapped at Julia she had enough with her nagging.

Her baby was crying pitifully, but it didn’t move Emily at all. She breastfed him before because alpha Tony threatened to kick her out, but now the alpha was busy pestering gamma Darius to know Dawn’s whereabouts, she wanted to get some sleep.

“But, the baby will die if you didn’t breastfeed him!” Surprisingly, Julia loved her grandson. Her heart ached to see the baby was hungry, while the mother refused to feed him. “I didn’t raise you like this!”

“Oh, mother, you raised me exactly like you.”

A harsh slap landed on Emily’s face after she said that. Both of them were surprised and Julia immediately wanted to apologize, but Emily had shoved her to the side and despite the pain, she rushed out of the room.

Her father threatened to banish her from the pack, her mother slapped her and Blake didn’t even care whether she was alive or not, as he was chasing after that slut!

Emily hated her life! She was not sure since when her life started crumbling like this.

“Where are you going?” Jason asked when he was about to visit her, but Emily pushed away the beta. She threw him a dagger look.

Frowning, Jason entered the room and found Julia was crying with the baby in her arms.

“What happened? Are you, okay?” Jason immediately approached Julia. He took the baby from her arms and sat her down. “Don’t cry, okay. Don’t cry.”

Meanwhile, the baby kept crying pitifully.
