Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: A THOUSAND KISSES
Blake put down her baby on his crib, he stared at him coldly, even though his son gave him his toothless smile and stretched out his hand to reach him, wanting to be hugged by his father again.

Coldness crept on his face, as his eyes dimmed.

Beta Jason had told him no need to drink the Rottingbane anymore and he only needed to wait until tomorrow to be able to shift into his beast. He could rush back to the capital city to find Dawn and ditch his ceremony with Emily.

But…

Blake had tried it once and it failed. He wouldn’t fall into the same mistake for the second time.

His father wanted him to be the alpha of this pack. That was a good start too…

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

After Dawn met with Aurel, thankfully, the next person that she met was Zenith.

The heard that she arrived just now, but didn’t hear the whole ordeal when he immediately looked for her, since it was so weird that she came sooner than he expected.

But his brows furrowed when he saw a lot of royal guards, who followed behind her.

“Are you raising an army when you entered the palace?” Zenith teased her after he kissed her cheeks. The head of the guard immediately stepped forward to explain the situation.

However, the more he explained, the scariest Zenith’s face was, to the point the guard started stuttering and stopped explaining.

“Not allow to enter the palace ground?” Zenith narrowed his eyes, he wrapped his arms around Dawn’s waist and pulled her to his side. “Where is Pyro, call him to see me immediately.”

Dawn tugged Zenith’s sleeve and tiptoed to whisper to his ear, as he spoke again to those guards.

“Summon royal healer Aurel as well and grant the entrance of my gamma and warriors. If my gamma didn’t come to see me in five minutes, there would be a harsh punishment for all of you.”

Dawn pressed her lips to suppress her smile. She didn’t mean to cause trouble for them, since they only followed the order that was given to them, but she needed to assert her status here.

They didn’t even greet her politely as per her status deserved.

Meanwhile, after hearing what the alpha said, all of them scurried away. They were only a mere guard after all, not a royal warriors per se.

The wrath of the alpha was too much for them.

“You need to get some rest, after that, there is something important I need to tell you.” Zenith didn’t want to tell Dawn right away about Zander’s condition because right now, she just arrived from a long journey.

“What is it?”

“Later.” Zenith kissed her cheeks and took her to their bedroom. He asked Celine to come and check on her condition.

“Did you find something… not usual with my body?” Dawn asked, she wondered if Celine could tell whether she was pregnant or not, but the healer couldn’t say that.

Zenith had said it would take a few more weeks for the healer to be able to say that she was pregnant, but Dawn was curious.

“You are fine, luna, only a little bit exhausted. I will make a concoction for you.” Celine was a beautiful woman with her golden hair that reached her waist, the way she carried herself would make you feel comfortable.

After that, Celine went out of the room, leaving the two of them.

“How can you get here quickly?” Zenith asked. He sat down next to Dawn. He received a report that all the people he summoned earlier had waited for him in the next room, but he would let them wait.

“I rode a horse.”

“What?” Zenith was not happy to hear that, but he became even more livid when he heard what happened.

A horde of troll. Someone had orchestrated the attack.

“I will get to the bottom of this.” He wouldn’t let anyone, who tried to harm his mate and future child got off easily. “Don’t worry and rest. I will be back soon.” He kissed the tip of her nose and tucked her in.

Dawn looked at Zenith sullenly. “You said, you were going to chase her out, but I met with her.”

“I am sorry.” Zenith kissed her again.

“Is the matter here very serious?” Dawn was about to sit down and have a conversation about this with Zenith, but the alpha insisted for her to rest.

“I will tell you everything later.”

Dawn nodded, but she felt to be petty right now. “You need to be punished for breaking your promise.”

“How do you want to punish me, beautiful?”

Dawn thought about that for a while. “A thousand kisses will do for now.”

“For now?” Zenith chuckled. “Are there any further penalties?”

“Of course.”

Zenith leaned over and whispered to her ear. “I am looking forward to it.” After that, the alpha left.

Not long after, Celine returned with a tonic for her, so she could feel better, but Dawn simply asked her to put it down on the table, but she didn’t even touch it. She didn’t even want to drink it.

Meanwhile, in the next room, the atmosphere felt very tensed, as the alpha demanded an explanation from Pyro for denied an entrance for his mate.

“What the meaning of this, Pyro?”

Pyro glanced at Aurel, who looked like she was about to cry. She liked the alpha, but no matter how much she liked him, being the receptive end of his wrath was still very scary.

“I don’t want my treatment to be disrupted like before.” Aurel lifted her head. “You can see it, right? The king relapsed because you used the wrong method on him.”

“How long can you heal him?” Zenith walked toward her and out of instinct, she took a step back.

“A month. No. Two weeks, give me two weeks and I will heal him.” Aurel was a little bit stuttering. “I can heal him.”
