Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: GOING BACK TO THE CAPITAL CITY
“Dawn!” Zaya greeted her cheerfully when she saw Dawn and made a big fuss when she saw her bump. She was already six months pregnant and it would be obvious for people to see. “Heaven! The baby will be here in a few months!”

Zaya was someone, who was full of positive energy, being with her made Dawn happy. She liked her and it was obvious Zaya liked her back too.

“Oh, you are so cute! Come, I will show you the blanket that I have knitting for the baby, you too Celine,” Zaya said. She took Dawn’s hand and Celine with the other. “They will discuss about boring thing, let’s do something more interesting.”

“Don’t tire her out.” Zenith warned Zaya, he had said before that his little sister could bring bad influence to his mate. “And don’t go out of the palace.”

Zaya pursed her lips. “I know, don’t nag me.”

“Look after my mate.”

“Yes, alpha,” Celine said replied with a smile. They didn’t bring Yara with them, because she would come with Thean and the other warriors later.

Zenith kissed Dawn’s lips. “Just tell her to stop if you don’t like it, okay? She can be too much.”

With that, Zaya left with Dawn, leaving all the men to start with their discussion and once the two of them left, Zenith faced Zander, who didn’t say anything from the beginning.

“So? What plan do you have with people from Marca El?”

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

“Here, look at this, what do you think?” Zaya actually had been knitting blanket for the baby ever since she learned about Dawn’s pregnancy.

However, after gushing over the blanket and talked about trivial thing, Dawn knew this was not the main reason why Zaya took her here.

“So, what happened? There must be something you wanted to tell me, I guess?” Dawn finally asked.

Celine could feel that too.

“I know you are not only beautiful, but also smart!” She said with feeling, as she hugged Dawn and kissed her cheeks. From the look of it, Zaya really liked to hug and kiss people that she was close with. She was being very affectionate.

She then explained about everything that happened in the capital city in the last six months since she left. Also, the problem with Aurel and Andel continent, to be precise, the dispute with the Holy Kingdom.

But, what Zaya really wanted Dawn to know was the information about the sect they had discussed before.

It was the sect where they created a poison that could kill shifter’s wolf spirit and get rid the magic from the magic user, unable them to use their power anymore.

“Zander didn’t have wolf spirit, that’s why the poison didn’t kill him, but for the other warriors, who have been inflicted by the poison, they couldn’t shift and eventually died.”

Dawn and Celine already knew about that.

“The latest information about this sect came from Andel Continent.”

“Holy Kingdom?” Dawn guessed.

“Not exactly, but Zander believed this is the people that Aurel had been having a contact with ever since she was here.”

Which meant, it had been years Aurel supplied these people with the crucial information about what happened in the capital city.

Even though Aurel couldn’t disclose Zander and Zenith’s health condition because of the oath that she took, but she knew more than a healer should, since she had been around them for long.

“Currently, there are five warriors, who couldn’t shift.”

“Again? Even after Aurel was put in the dungeon?” But then, Dawn remembered that the wench still managed to harm her in the past life even when she was not in the pack house anymore.

Zaya explained that after what Dawn had done in the past, it stopped for a while, but it started again around two months ago.

“Let’s see them.” Dawn was curious, probably with her new knowledge from the past, she could find something that she missed before.

However, Zaya rejected that idea. “You are pregnant, Dawn. My brother will kill me if something happened to you,” she said, there was a hidden meaning behind it. Both of them knew Zenith would do that. He had done it after all. “I am not a shifter, so it will be fine with me, but you are a shifter, we don’t know yet the source of the poison this time.”

Celine then volunteered. “I will check.” She was a healer and it wouldn’t do her any harm if she went to the warrior’s quarter. “I think I will check now, so we can know for sure what happened, I will report it back to you right away, luna.”

Dawn wanted to stop her, telling her that she could do it later, but Zaya stopped her.

“Okay. You can leave, Celine.”

Celine left the two of them and Dawn leaned over, she knew Zaya had another intention to let Celine left.

“What? What happened?”

“I think she has been wanting to leave because of…” Zaya started to tell Dawn some information that she should know about Celine. This would be only among the two of them.

Zaya saw Dawn and Celine had gotten closer, thus she thought Dawn should be aware of this.

“Is Lance blind or something?!” Dawn was enraged. “How could he neglect our beautiful and intelligent Celine for a wench like Aurel?!” She couldn’t help it, but what Zaya told her hit home.

“I know, right?” Zaya was upset too. “I know right? They are mate, how could he have his eyes on another woman?”

Dawn felt a little bit bitter about that, because apparently, not all shifter thought the mate bond was a sacred thing and they were willing to go through pain to hurt their own mate for their own selfishness.

“Why don’t let Zenith kill Aurel?” Dawn asked. “He can get all the information from her, if he killed her, right?”

“You are right about that.” Zaya nodded. “Currently, the men must be talking about this too.”
