Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: YOUR PRIORITY IS QUESTIONABLE
“You need to kill her, in that way, we will know what kind of information that Aurel has been feeding that people and who are they.” Zander looked serious when he let them knew about the plan.

Not like Zenith, who used to do thing in silent and rarely gave an explanation, Zander would explain his plan in detail to the people that involved, therefore Zenith found something was off.

“Where is your gamma?” Zenith asked, he didn’t mind to kill Aurel, he did once, he could do it again without guilt for the second time. “Why is he not here?”

Darius and Pyro were here, though Axel was not presence for obvious reason, but there was no excuse for Lance for not being here with them.

“Something you didn’t tell me?”

Pyro looked uncomfortable, but in the end, they knew this must be said.

“I will let go of Lance.” Zander leaned his back against the sofa. He looked casual, as if he talked about the weather.

“What do you mean with let go? Like getting rid of him?” Zenith emphasized this.

Darius straightened his back, because he could sense this was a very serious matter and Lance must have messed up big time.

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

“You are here!” Lance finally found Celine in the warrior’s quarter after he heard about her arrival. He thought she would come with the other warrior from the north, which meant, it would take her a few days to reach the capital city, but as it turned out she came with the alpha and the luna by using the portal. “Why didn’t you let me know when you are already here?”

Celine stood up and faced Lance. “Let’s talk later, I am working now.”

Lance narrowed his eyes, he was about to say something, but he clenched his jaw and then agreed to talk about it later.

But then, Celine got an order to leave for Moonlight pack to relief a plague that spread around the harbor. She was expected to find a cure for the plague before the people from Marco El arrived, which meant, two months from now.

This made Lance was very upset because he felt like the king was trying to separate her from Celine.

“You can send someone else, Zan, why would you always send Celine away?” Lance came to the king’s room to complain about this.

“Mind your words, Lance! You are talking to the king!” Pyro hollered at him. Recently, Lance’s behavior became even more erratic.

“Leave us alone, Pyro.” Zander dismissed his beta. He took off his golden mask and faced his gamma.

Pyro sighed deeply, he looked at Lance with a mixed feeling, but he chose to walk away. Lance was not a little child, who needed to be told what to do, therefore, he didn’t have any obligation to warn him, though he had done it countless time by now.

“I am sorry for my disrespectfulness, but I really need an explanation about why did you sent Celine away? Are you trying to separate us?” Lance looked frustrated.

“Are you aware that I take responsibility of the whole kingdom and with the tension between our kingdom and the Holy Kingdom how little time that was left for myself?” Zenith threw a dagger look at Lance. “Do you really think I have time to think about your relationship with your mate?”

Zenith suggested for him to kill Lance, so he would know what made the gamma was infatuated with Aurel.

But, Zander didn’t agree with the idea right away. Lance was someone crucial by his side. His disappearance would be noticed right away, just like how they couldn’t kill Aurel recklessly.

“I know about that, but can’t you send someone else to Moonlight pack? Celine just returned to the palace and you sent her away again.”

“Did she tell you that she didn’t want to go? Did she tell you that she wanted to stay with you?”

Lance fell silent. He couldn’t lie in front of Zander.

“If you really thought of her as your mate, she shouldn’t think of herself as if she was an afterthought for you.”

“I have never treated her like that. She is always my priority.”

“Just like how you prioritize to make a little trip to the dungeon?”

Lance blanched. The king knew.

But then, what did he expect…?

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

Dawn gasped when she was sleeping, because her baby suddenly kicked her rib and this was rather hurt.

Recently, her baby would be awake around midnight and slept throughout the afternoon, but it would be hard to sleep when your baby was so active. How could you sleeping when you could feel this little one tried to get your attention?

“What is it?” Zenith woke up when he felt Dawn’s body flinched in his arms. “The baby is awake?”

“Yeah… the baby kicked my rib…” Dawn was sleepy, but she was in pain too. She curled her body.

She was around seven months now and as her stomach was getting bigger, it was hard for her to move and she could only sleep on one side of her body, forget about laying down on your back, because it would feel like there was a brick on your chest.

Zenith pushed himself into sitting position.

“It’s okay, the baby will sleep later.” But, Dawn’s body jolted again and through her thin night gown, Zenith could see the baby nudged her from inside.

This was the time when Zenith felt helpless because there was nothing he could do. He could see the little light had grown into a little wolf, this cub spirit moved around actively, thus Zenith could imagine what the baby was doing inside Dawn’s womb.

Unfortunately, Zenith could only see the spirit and couldn’t actually communicate or even touched it.

Still, he did his best to alleviate the pain.

Zenith rubbed his palm against her belly in circle motion and hummed a song. This was the only method that he could think of.
