Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: RETURN TO THE NORTH PACK
“What the meaning of this, Zander?” Lance asked, he came directly toward the king when he heard what happened. “How could you send my mate away?”

Zander dismissed the representative from Holy Kingdom and faced his royal gamma. “Just because I have been nice to you, you could disrespect me in front of other people.”

Lance immediately lowered his head, realizing his mistake. “My apologized for my action, my king.” He balled his fists tightly. He couldn’t compose himself when he heard that Celine would go with Zenith to the north. She would replace Aurel’s position as the healer for him and helped with the treatment. “But, I need to know why you have to choose Celine to be sent to the north? She is my mate, she should be with me.”

Zander gestured for Lance to follow him, so they could find a quiet place to talk. “She was the one, who came to me and suggest this.”

“You can reject the suggestion.” Lance didn’t seem surprised, his gut feeling told him that Celine had been wanting a way out. “She is my mate, you know how the mate bond worked, right? You can’t separate a mate from one another.”

“Have you taken some time to think about this matter, Lance? In that case, why would Celine take the initiative to be away from you if you thought the mate bond between you is strong?”

“We only face some problem. It’s nothing.”

Zander tilted his head. “Lance, you have been my royal gamma for a few years now and truthfully speaking, I am disappointed with you for the way you treated your mate.”

“I treated her nicely.”

“When the last time, you stood up for her against Aurel?” Zander talked to Lance not as a king now, but an old friend. “Or, a simple question; where were you last night?”

Lance couldn’t answer that. He was indeed with Aurel. “She needed someone to comfort her, Zenith just cut off her hand.”

“So, why that’s your business?”

“How could you treat her like that after everything that she had done for the two of you?”

Zander looked at Lance closely. “I can misinterpret your word, Lance. If Zenith did something like that, the first thing that you needed to know is to learn the situation, not to jump in and defending her right away and questioned me, your king.” He patted his shoulder. “You can talk with Celine, but if she persists with her decision, there is nothing I can do.”

Zander left his royal gamma, but once he turned around, his blue eyes turned slightly darker. If Lance continued with this attitude, he didn’t have any other choice, but to let him go.

A shifter, who couldn’t even stick to their mate was questionable.

“Ah, I like his work, though…” Zander sighed.

Later on, Lance looked for Celine, but she was determined to leave. She didn’t want to be with him anymore, but Lance didn’t give her a chance to say the rejection word. He compromised that she needed this time to think everything thoroughly and separate for a while, so they could reflect on their relationship.

However, Celine was not really looking forward to that. She left with alpha Zenith’s entourage without even looking back.

It was autumn, where the temperatures cool again. Plants began to grow dormant and animals and monsters alike might prepare themselves for the upcoming cold weather, storing food or traveling to warmer regions.

Therefore, there would be more task for the warriors in the north, because during this time, the monster attack would increase.

However, monster was the least of Zenith’s concern, since he could handle them just fine.

“How are you feeling?” Zenith asked Dawn, as she nestled in his arms on their way to the north. Their goodbye was brief, because Zander promised to visit the north soon, in which the alpha was not thrilled about and told his sibling not to visit him for at least a year or two.

“I am fine and comfortable,” Dawn said, nuzzled her face against his chest lazily.

Zenith played with her hair and they talked about idle thing, such as the name for their baby, whether they were going to name the baby like their previous life or they would come with different name.

“There is a possibility that the baby will be a girl.”

Dawn looked surprised. “You are right.”

Everything had completely changed from their previous life and now, they wouldn’t stuck in the past, as they decided to find a new name for their little one, even though they felt a little bit sad for their dead baby…

Once they arrived at the north after a few days, people in the pack house welcomed them, Dawn saw her two maid servants; Keynes and Pylo. She called the two of them to her bedroom when Zenith had something to be discussed with his beta.

“Welcome back, luna Dawn, we are happy to have you here again,” Keynes and Pylo greeted her politely.

“I release you from your duty.” That was the first thing that she said to them.

Keynes and Pylo immediately fell to their knees, begging for forgiveness and pleading for a second chance.

“What we have done wrong, luna?” Keynes was trembling in fear. “I am sorry if I offended you.” Pylo did the same thing.

They apologized for their past mistake, they thought they had over it.

“You don’t need to be like this. I release you from your duty, but it doesn’t mean you will lose your job here, in the pack house. You can still continue to work here, but not by my side.”

“But, what have we done wrong?” Pylo asked pitifully, she was crying.

Dawn couldn’t explain the true reason, but she felt uncomfortable to know that these two people worked with Fern and Aurel in the past life to harm her and her baby. She wouldn’t want that kind of people to be around her and the baby.
