Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: THE LEADER OF THE WEST
Dawn was woken up in the middle of the night again when her baby was very active and kicked her ribs, asking for her attention.

Therefore, it messed up with her sleeping time a little bit.

Thankfully, Zenith would always be there to help her to calm their baby. Just like right now, they were in the pack house of Moonlight pack and stayed in a guest room.

“The baby is awake?” Zenith asked when he felt Dawn jolted in his arms. She nodded and curled herself.

“It’s okay, just sleep, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow,” Dawn said, she didn’t want Zenith to lose his sleep when he had a ton of things to take care of the next day.

However, Zenith didn’t listen, he sat down and did the same thing like he used to do to soothe their baby.

“I can manage,” Zenith said, as he caressed her stomach and started to hum, he soothed their baby inside her womb, until Dawn could fall asleep and then spoke in a very small voice. “Don’t wake your mother up, okay? Be good.”

Zenith stayed like that for half an hour more, to make sure the baby had calmed down and Dawn got her sleep.

The next day, Zenith woke up early to discuss a few things with Zander and Pyro. Lance didn’t come with them, because he had to manage the palace affair.

Darius was there too and it was clear to see the gamma was not happy to start the day very early. He pulled his hair a few times to keep himself awake.

“It’s Vemion, our people have confirmed that,” Zenith said, as soon as Pyro put the protection spell around the room, so no one would be able to hear their conversation.

“I expected that much,” Zander said, he didn’t seem surprised when he heard the name.

Decades ago, before their father sat on the throne, apparently, Vemion was the crown prince. The next line for the throne, but because of the disaster that happened and for the fact Vemion was still a baby, their father was crowned as the king.

But not only because of that alone, but also because king Cane’s contribution. He built this ruined kingdom from scratch, while Vemion was still in the swaddle.

It was a long history…

“He wanted to build a new kingdom. He is the one, who has been leading the rebel to go against you and now from what we heard, they built a palace in the west, therefore there have been so many missing people in the past six months.”

Darius explained the report that they received in detail.

“Rye has confirmed that Vemion has been in contact with someone from Karam continent.” The gamma bit his tongue to prevent himself from yawning. He couldn’t sleep well last night. “He suspected that Vemion wanted to form an alliance with the merchant by marriage.”

“Ridiculous,” Pyro commented.

“Indeed.” Darius second that.

Now they knew that the leader of the rebel in the west was Vemion, even though this was not a surprise, since his name was on the list of the suspect.

Since the fire magic stone mine was in the west, thus they had the money to support this movement. After all, the fire magic stone was the most profitable one.

And because Zander had stopped selling the magic stone, since the dispute with the people in the Holy Kingdom, most of the distribution of the magic stone came from the west and the price had skyrocketed.

Even so, Zander didn’t change his stand and still stopped the distribution of the magic stone on his part.

“Did they know to whom Vemion will make an alliance to?” Zander asked.

Darius shook his head. “No. There are a few merchant guilds that Vemion had been in alliance with, but Rye couldn’t tell for sure.”

They discussed this matter until it was time for breakfast and Zenith ordered Yara to stay with Dawn and not to wake her up. She was sent there, so when Dawn woke up, she could prepare a warm meal for her.

The young girl knew what to do and Dawn had good eyes to choose her people.

“She is tired because our baby was very active every night, so she is still sleeping now,” Zenith said when alpha Tony asked about Dawn and why she didn’t join them to have breakfast together.

“That must be hard on her,” Emily spoke. She joined this breakfast in the dining hall because of her status as Blake’s mate and because yesterday she didn’t come to greet the king’s entourage, thus it would be rude for her to skip this one, even though the reason she didn’t come yesterday was because of Blake. “Thank heaven, Arren didn’t give me a hard time when I was pregnant with him.”

Blake glared at her. He didn’t want Emily to talk about Arren. He didn’t want Emily to talk at all.

However, nobody engaged with her, as if the conversation was dead and it became awkward, but instead taking the cue, Emily kept talking.

“Why don’t you let me see my sister, alpha? I am sure, I can give her a tip or two of how to take care of herself during the pregnancy.”

Zenith continued to eat his food, he didn’t even care to acknowledge her existence, but it was Zaya, who spoke to her.

“I don’t think you need to do that, my brother is very good at taking care of her,” Zaya praised her brother. “To the point, if Dawn felt the slightest discomfort, he would raise a ruckus and bother our royal healer to check on her.”

No. Zenith was not that crazy, but Zaya’s exaggeration was enough to silence Emily, because she couldn’t say the same thing.

When she was pregnant, Blake was busy chasing Dawn, even now, he didn’t care about her or their baby’s wellbeing.

Emily’s resentment grew stronger…

She wished, the alpha was her mate.
