Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: THE ALPHA WAS MAD
Zenith still didn’t agree with the idea of Dawn coming with them, but there was no other way for them to find those items that no one had ever heard without her.

“I will be doomed if something happened to you,” Zenith said through his gritted teeth. He couldn’t let his brother died, but at the same time, he was not turning back time to put Dawn in danger.

“There is nothing will happen to me as long as you are there.” Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck and tiptoed to peck his lips, so he could be a little bit relax.

But, Pyro came and reminded them to leave now.

Dawn startled and tried to get away from Zenith, but the alpha pressed the back of her head and bit her lips. He was upset and he expressed it very well.

The moment, he let go of Dawn, her lips was swollen. Pyro was dumbstruck, the right thing to do for him was to walk away from the sight, but foolishly, he stayed there, though what happened didn’t last for long.

“Are you… okay?” Pyro asked when Dawn walked toward him. The luna threw him a dagger look. “Why she is upset with me?” the royal beta muttered under his breath.

Once everything was set and they were ready to leave, Dawn gave a few instructions to Celine, just in case Zander’s condition got worse while they were away. She gave a few pointers what she needed to do.

“Giving him a constant healing power will help to prevent the worse, but you must be aware it will take a toll on you at some point, so it will be challenging for you too. You need to hang in there until we returned.” Dawn glanced at Aurel who was standing at the side, her cheek was still swollen. “Make yourself useful too. Take turn with her.”

“I don’t take an order from you!” Aurel was still having an attitude with Dawn, despite what happened earlier.

Meanwhile, Dawn didn’t want to waste her breath, so she gestured for Pyro to talk with her instead.

“Enough, Aurel. Keep that attitude and I will make sure you will never be able to step inside the palace anymore.”

Aurel was seething, but she didn’t say a word, because the way Pyro talked to her, it was half a threat and a warning.

Meanwhile, hearing that, Dawn was sure Pyro chose to say that to get back at Aurel for denying her entrance the other day. The royal beta was taking her side. That was nice.

“Stay with me,” Zenith said to Dawn, as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Darius stood behind them, he was also worried for the luna. For the meantime, not many people knew about her pregnancy. It was understandable that the alpha was upset that he had to take his pregnant mate to a dangerous place such as the west part of the kingdom.

“Don’t worry, I will stick to you like a glue, someone need to make a great effort to separate us.” Dawn tiptoed and kissed Zenith’s cheek, because she knew Aurel was staring at the two of them.

Let her stared as she like, Dawn would give her a good show for her to watch. She kissed Zenith’s cheek not only once, but twice and added two more.

Darius, who watched his luna’s pettiness from behind could only grimace. He didn’t have any idea that she had this side of her.

Pyro cleared his throat. “Are we ready to leave?” He had created a portal for them. Lance would stay in the palace just in case something came up.

“Okay, let’s go!” Dawn said, as she hugged Zenith. Emphasized for all people to see that no one could separate her from her mate.

For now, with Celine’s help and the right treatment, Zander’s life wouldn’t be in danger, at the very least, until the end of the day.

“Okay…” Pyro and Darius felt a little bit awkward as they walked into the portal.

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

“Where have you been?” Tony asked Julia when she entered their bedroom. She looked surprised to see her mate was there because it had been so long, since the last time he slept in this room.

“I- I checked on Arren…” Julia said. “I missed my grandchild.”

“I just saw Arren, but I didn’t see you there.”

Julia’s face turned pale, but she cleared her throat and acted as if nothing happened. “We must have missed each other when we visited the nursery room.”

Julia walked toward Tony and kissed his cheek. “I missed you so much. Will you sleep in our bed tonight?”

Tony said nothing and Julia took this as a hint to do what she was good at. She pushed Tony until he laid on the bed and hovered above her.

“Let’s bygone be bygone, okay?” Julia said in small voice. She looked like she was in haste to appease the alpha, as she took off her dress.

However, Tony flipped her body over and kissed her neck, which made Julia giggled, thinking that Tony was in the mood with her again.

Yet, what he said next turned her body very rigid. “You smell like Jason.”

Shifters had keen smell, that’s why they could differentiate the people that they familiar with by only their scent and as his beta, of course, Tony was very familiar with Jason’s scent.

“Wh- what?” Julia stuttered, but Tony put his hand over her chest, his palm against her beating heart.

“Your heart is beating so fast.”

“Be- because I was surprised with your accusation.”

“I didn’t accuse you of anything.”

“But, the way you said that I smell like Jason is not right, it felt like you accused me of something.”

Tony looked at Julia straight into her eyes. She couldn’t escape or move away from him, because he was literally hovered above her, pinning her down to the bed.

“You are lying, Julia,” Tony said coldly.
