Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: ZAYA WAS HERE!
Dawn was sleeping soundly, very tired after the whole ordeal, when she felt someone was staring at her and when she opened her eyes, she found a pair of beautiful blue eyes, the same color as Zander and Zenith, stared back at her.

However, this pair of eyes belonged to a woman. She had this cute curly, auburn hair that cascaded down her back.

“Finally, you woke up!” She said cheerfully.

Dawn was startled, she pushed herself from the bed groggily. “Wh- who are you?”

“I am Zaya,” she introduced herself. The way she mentioned her name was like she was singing. “I didn’t mean to wake you up.” And yet, she stared intensely. No shifter would be able to sleep through such intensity, as their strong senses wouldn’t allow it.

“Zaya?” The fog in Dawn’s mind immediately disappeared as the only Zaya that she remembered was Zenith and Zander’s little sister. “Princess Zaya?” Zenith had mentioned it before that Zaya was on her way back from Andel Continent.

“Just Zaya.” Zaya’s blue eyes lit up. She observed Dawn closely, which made her felt a little bit of self awareness, after all, she just woke up. “You are so beautiful, no wonder my brother chose you to be his mate.”

“Oh, thank you.” Dawn combed her hair with her fingers, so she would look a little bit more presentable in front of the princess. “You are so beautiful too.”

“I know,” Zaya said confidently. “I am lucky to take after my mother.” She contemplated for a while. “Well, my father was not bad either.”

Dawn didn’t know how to respond to that, she felt a little bit awkward with how comfortable Zaya was with her. She was the type of person, who could be close with anyone.

“I heard what you have done for Zander.” Zaya moved closer to Dawn and clasped her hands. “Thank you for saving my annoying brother’s life.”

Dawn laughed a little. “I can see you love him so much.”

“I don’t have another choice, they are my brother.” Zaya scrunched her nose.

“Have you meet with Zenith?”

“Yes, I have. Zander and Zenith currently are speaking, but Zenith said I couldn’t wake you up.” Technically speaking, Zaya didn’t. Dawn woke up on her own. “Do you want to come to my room? I bring something for you from Holy Kingdom.”

“You don’t have to.” Dawn was surprised, she had been reeling the fact that she would meet with Zaya for weeks now, because she didn’t have the best relationship with Emily, or people in general, so she was afraid that she wouldn’t get along with Zaya as well.

She didn’t mind to not get along with Emily, since she didn’t like her anyway, but Zaya was Zenith’s little sister…

“I am sorry, I can’t make it for your ceremony.” Zaya looked a little bit sad for that. “But, I brought you gifts. A lot of them. Come!”

Dawn could say that Zaya had a lot of energy, someone that was so cheerful and pleased to be around. She hoped, she wouldn’t mess it up and annoyed her.

Dawn immediately got off the bed and glanced at the mirror to see her reflection, she tugged her hair, so it would be less messy and then followed Zaya out of the room to her bedroom.

She didn’t know where her bedroom was, thus she just followed her, while she told her a little thing about herself.

Every warrior and servant that met Zaya would look surprise and greet her happily, wished her a good stay and hoped she could be here longer.

It was very obvious that she was well like and was loved by everyone, despite the fact she had not been in the palace for a long time.

“Oh, I missed my bedroom,” Zaya squalled, she opened the door and took Dawn to enter her bedroom. “I have not yet unpacked, but I think your gifts are around here.”

“You don’t need to give them to me right now.” Dawn watched there were a lot of luggage there, at the very least, there were seven of them. “I think you need to rest first.”

“No. This is important,” Zaya insisted. She kept searching and finally found the right luggage. “Here. Open this. This is one of the gifts, but I want you to open this first.”

Dawn was confused, but she obliged. Inside, she saw a small bottle with purple liquid inside. She didn’t know what was that.

“What is this?” Dawn asked.

“Couldn’t you recognize it?” Zaya asked, she crossed her arms. Her expression changed immediately. Her cheerful self disappeared and she looked very serious, which made Dawn felt nervous. “Or, all of your memories have not returned yet.”

“Wh- what do you mean…?” Dawn was a little bit surprised that Zaya knew about how this was her second life, but then probably Zenith told her?

However, Zaya herself explained it to her. “I helped him to find a way to redeem himself, but I didn’t know that he would turn back time.”

Dawn fell silent, she didn’t know how to respond to that. Should she thank her?

“So, what with this poison?” Dawn asked, the little bottle felt heavy in her hand. Did she ruin her chance to have a relationship with her, only after less than an hour they met? “There must be a reason why you gave me this.”

“You created that poison, Dawn,” Zaya said. “You must have realized how knowledgeable and skillful you are with poison. The way you cured my brother is one of the examples.”

“That’s because I am lucky, since I have my memories from my past life.”

“Yes, but it also because you are a poison expert.”

“I don’t remember this.”

“The memory will come to you slowly, just how Zenith’s memories returned to him piece by piece.” Zaya could see the confusion in Dawn’s eyes, she asked her to sit down.

“What do you want me to do with this?”
