Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: SOMEONE FROM THE SHADOW
People had hurt her in the past because she was too forgiving, she didn’t want to let them walked all over her again. She needed to protect herself and her baby and got her own power, just in case…

“What is it?” Pyro asked cautiously. He glanced at Zenith, but the alpha gave him a look as if telling him not to ask for his help. He was still pissed with him too.

Inside the room, there was only the four of them. Zander was still unconscious, as he was heavily medicated and Aurel put him into a deep slumber, in which Dawn and Celine didn’t recommend.

“If I can heal Zander, I want you to send her to Moonlight pack and let her handle the plague there.”

“What plague?” Pyro confused. He didn’t hear any report about it, but Dawn remembered that around this time, there was a plague that spread near the harbor, though it was not deadly, but it was rather a handful to handle.

At the very least, with this Aurel could be out of her sight for a few months, while Zenith found a good enough reason to send her back to Ander continent.

“You will hear the report about it soon.”

“How do you know about it?”

“I just went there.” Dawn was not right and this reason sounded believable.

Pyro was contemplating his options. He trusted Dawn’s explanation more than he did Aurel, since Celine also said the same thing, though Dawn elaborated more. But, he couldn’t dismiss Aurel’s judgment too. She had been taking care of Zenith and Zander’s health issue for so long.

Seeing how the royal beta hesitated, Dawn walked toward the table and wrote the ingredients that she needed and handed it over to Pyro.

“Find me all of these.”

Pyro looked conflicted. He accepted it and read it carefully, but he knew nothing about all of these items. He was going to let Celine checked on it.

“Zen, I am hungry,” Dawn said, as she went to her mate and act differently with him.

“What do you want to eat?” Zen asked, he immediately stood up from the bed and approached his mate.

It appeared as if he didn’t worry about his brother at all, but the truth was; Dawn was willing to get involved and she looked calm, which meant, everything was fine for the meantime.

No matter how petty she was with Pyro, she wouldn’t put Zander’s life into danger.

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

“I have never heard some of these ingredients,” Celine said. She furrowed her brows. “But, the rest are pretty normal ingredients.”

After Dawn left with Zenith, Pyro went to see Celine to ask about the prescription that Dawn gave to him.

“Are you sure this is princess Dawn, who has written it?” Celine was amazed by how knowledgeable Dawn was for someone, who was born as a shifter.

“Yes, is there something wrong?”

“No.” Celine shook her head. “If I didn’t know any better, I will think you got another healer to check on the king.”

Yes, this was also confused Pyro.

Meanwhile, Dawn spent her time being pampered by her mate, but Zenith had been very busy lately with his role as the king and there were a few trials that he needed to attend.

There were so many deaths this week, since the king sent so many people to the gallows. They didn’t bury the bodies, instead they burned those dead bodies in the end of the days, once they were done hanging all the traitors.

However, Zenith didn’t make it easy for them at all, as he instructed to burn the bodies in front of those people, who were going to be hanged the next days.

Dawn could only grimace of how cruel Zenith was, sometime she forgot that her mate was the cruel alpha, since he treated her very nicely. Based on that, she wondered how could people still not realize it was not Zander, the kind king?

“Kind king?” Darius scrunched his nose at Dawn statement. “You only knew Zander on the surface if you said he is kind.”

Because Zenith was busy with his role as ‘the king’, thus Dawn spent her time with Darius, hanging with him around the training ground, with this, she started to know some of the warriors’ name.

“Why? He is not?”

“He is also as cruel as Zenith, don’t be deceived with how he appeared. Did you forget that he tried to kill you?”

Dawn thought about that and then agreed. “Oh, right. I will make him pay for that.”

Darius inched away from her. “You are so scary when you said something like that very casually.”

Some of the warriors greeted Dawn, looked like they warmed up toward her, especially those, who came with Darius to fetch Dawn and Zenith.

“Is this just my feeling? But, the number of our warriors who are training right now is less than yesterday.” Dawn observed them, at the very least, there were ten of them that were missing, since there were fifty northern warriors that came with them to the capital city.

“There is another problem here,” Darius said in low voice. “Some of the warriors were sick.”

“But, shifter is rarely sick.”

“That’s the problem. They have been having trouble to sleep. This is not a big deal, but after a few days, it affected their training.”

Hearing that, Dawn stood up. “Why don’t I pay them a visit?”

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

“How is it?” Zenith asked no one in particular inside this room, but all of sudden a man emerged from the shadow.

“Your assumption is right, alpha,” the man said, his voice was very low, it sounded like a whisper, but it was enough for Zenith to hear clearly what he said. “The healer has been in contact with a certain people in Andel Continent.”

“Not people from the Holy Kingdom.”

“No. These people not come from Holy Kingdom.” The man was wearing black cloak and hoodie that covered his entire figure.
