Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: AN OLD FRIEND
“What? I didn’t lie to you.” Julia switched her attitude, she looked more assertive, as if she was hurt by the accusation. She was no longer stuttering, as if she knew by doing so, she would only give herself away. “Do you even know how much it hurt me?”

Tony didn’t believe that. He narrowed his eyes at her.

“What is it? Was that what Dawn had told you? That I cheated on you?” Julia looked disappointed. “You should know that she only wanted to get back at you. She also said that the baby in Emily’s womb was not Blake’s, right? You were there when she said that.”

Tony didn’t say anything.

“I know she was hurt with what she just learned, but you know that I wouldn’t do something like that to you, especially with your beta.” Julia then explained that she just met with beta Jason and talked about their grandson, probably that was the time when his scent lingered on her. “I will never betray you. For what? We have grown so old, I only want a peaceful life.”

This time, the alpha let her go, he stood up and walked away from the room, as if nothing had happened.

Only then, Julia could sigh in relief. She needed to cut her time with Jason.

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

The west part of the kingdom was a dispute land, where this area was the richest and the largest area in this continent.

Decades ago, there were Red Claw pack and Golden Light pack that resided in this part of the kingdom, while the former was the richest pack with the largest fire magic stone mines, the latter had the largest area.

With how rich and large the west part was, you could build a kingdom here.

The rebellion in this area happened the first time when king Zander just sat on the throne. They were strongly against the new king, since he was only sixteen when he was crowned as the new sovereign.

Ever since then, this area became a conflict area. The dispute not only because of the territory, but also the mines.

Since the magic stone was the largest contributor for the kingdom’s income.

“Where can we find the items?” Pyro asked. He brought enough magic stone with him. So, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of running out of it.

“His house must be around here…” Dawn muttered to herself.

Pyro and Darius furrowed their brows. “Have you ever been here before?”

They believed Dawn had never been anywhere before this aside from her own pack, because the two of them had actually run a background check on her the moment Zenith chose her as his mate.

“No.”

“So, how do you know this area?” Darius hastened his step and walked beside Dawn.

They were walking on the street and because it was already late at night, this area was very quiet. There were only a handful people that they met as they walked.

“Step back and stop asking question,” Zenith said sternly, which made the gamma fell back and walked beside Pyro.

The alpha knew how Dawn was very familiar with this place. She lived here for twenty years after she left the north, after the death of their son.

“What happened after you killed me?” Zenith asked all of sudden. His voice was low and it was only for Dawn to hear. He was talking about their first life. His last memory was when Dawn killed him after a long torture that he had to endure.

The four of them were wearing a hoodie that covered their faces. After so many battles, it would be easy to recognize Zenith and Pyro.

“I lived my life as the first shifter healer, until I turned one hundred and died on my bed,” Dawn said, she lifted her head and grinned at him. “My soul is so old. You are with a hundred years old lady now.”

Zenith smiled back at her. “I am glad you lived your life. I hope that’s a happy life.”

Dawn’s face turned sour. “No. It was not.” She lived alone in her old age and died alone without anyone by her side when she was dying. She didn’t wish to have that kind of life.

Therefore, in a way, she was glad Zenith gave them a second chance to live their lives differently.

Both of them fell silence. They didn’t talk about it anymore and Dawn guided them to a familiar alley, where she found a small house at the corner of this narrowed alley.

“He said, he lived here before.”

“Who?” Zenith was curios.

“An old friend.” Dawn tilted her head. “He was quite eccentric.” But then, she seemed to remember something. She turned around and warned the three of them. “Don’t eat and don’t drink anything that he offered?”

“Why?” Darius frowned.

“Don’t eat anything,” Dawn emphasized the word.

“Yes, but why?”

Dawn clicked her tongue and told him bluntly. “Because he liked to poison someone.”

“What?”

And that was enough to scare the foodie to keep him from stuffing his mouth with food.

Dawn then knocked the door. At first, there was no response, it was understandable because it was still so early in the morning. But then, she kicked the door violently, in which Zenith stopped her.

“Let me do it,” Zenith said. He pulled Dawn back and raised his leg to kick the door.

“No, wait…” Darius was about to step in, but it was too late.

However, the door was toppled down instead in a single kick.

“Zen, I only want to wake him up, not to barge into his house…” Dawn was shocked when the door fell and made a loud noise.

Pyro and Darius were flabbergasted. “I was going to stop him…” Darius muttered under his breath.

“Let’s get it done.” Zenith stepped inside the house, as if he owned this place.

“Is it, okay?” Pyro looked conflicted. “I thought we are here to ask for help.”
