Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: THE PLAN INSIDE THE PLAN
“Change your dress,” Lance said, as he gave a new dress for Aurel. He promised her that he would help her to get out of the dungeon once the king left to Moonlight pack to greet the king from Marca El.

“Okay.” Aurel immediately took off his dress and changed with the new one.

Meanwhile, Lance turned around and thought about his action. He knew that he would get disciplined for his action once Zander learned about it.

However, he had thought everything through and planned this escape meticulously. He didn’t think they would suspect him.

Lance closed his eyes and thought about Celine. He would make it up to her once he saw her again. Aurel would be out of the picture, thus there would be nothing for her to be angry about.

He only wanted thing to get better between him and Celine.

“I am done,” Aurel said. She was wearing a simple dress that wouldn’t indicate her was one of the prisoners. She hid her cut- off hand under the sleeve.

“Let’s go.”

They needed to go now, because the king would return tomorrow and by that time, they wouldn’t have this chance anymore.

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

Rowan was one of the four kings from Marca El continent. His kingdom was the strongest kingdoms compared to the other three.

He was only recently crowned as the king, after he usurped his father and killed him three months ago. Not only he killed his father, he also killed his brother, who was at that time was the crown prince.

This piece of information made Dawn uneasy, because why would Zander wanted to make an alliance to someone like him?

“Stop frowning,” Dawn said to Darius, who was sitting next to her. “There are other meats there.” They talked in low voice, so only the two of them could hear and also Zenith, who was sitting at Dawn’s other side.

“Why don’t this pack have a lamb meat?” Darius still hanged up with the same complaint.

They were having dinner together, with soft music in the background. This fest was to welcome them, but there would be a party that was held for them when they returned to the palace tomorrow.

“Stop complaining and start eating,” Dawn said. She took a meat from the plate in front of her and put it on Darius’s plate. “Eat.”

Darius pursed his lips. “In this moment, I feel motherly love from you,” he said that with a jest.

At that time, Zenith finished talking to king Rowan and chimed in Dawn and Darius’s conversation. “Take your time, don’t choke.”

Because of what Zenith said, Darius almost choked on his meat, even Dawn gave her mate a look, questioning that little comment.

“What is it? Having a mate brings out your sense of care for other people? You care about me now?”

“It’s fatherly love.”

Darius and Dawn: “…?!?”

After the dinner, they chatted for a while, before they called it off, since their guests needed time to rest.

Zenith walked Dawn back to their bedroom, but the silence was heavy between the two of them, once they were alone in their room, Dawn turned to look at him.

“Are you sure he is going to betray us?” Dawn asked.

“I hope not.” Zenith caressed her hair, he knew that his mate was worried and she was still uneasy with their plan tonight. There was another reason why they chose to welcome King Rowan in the harbor.

First, because it would show them their utmost courtesy, but the second was to test a certain someone’s loyalty.

Zander fancied him, but the king couldn’t keep him around if he was proven willing to turn his back and undermined his order.

“Be careful,” Dawn said, she tiptoed and kissed Zenith’s lips.

“There is nothing will happen to me, you don’t need to worry. Sleep and I will be there when our baby is awake.”

With that, Zenith shifted into his beast and went out of the room through the window. It was rather easy for him to sneak out, because most of the warriors, who stood guard was the warrior from the palace.

However, after Zenith left, Dawn couldn’t sleep. She was used to sleep while hugging her mate and this bed felt very spacious for her.

Therefore, she decided to look for Lyra, since she came here to see her. They would return to the palace tomorrow, this was the right time to have a conversation with the healer.

With that, Dawn walked out of the bedroom and looked for Lyra.

She remembered the healer’s bedroom and thankfully, she was still in the same room like before.

“Dawn? Oh, luna Dawn…” Lyra corrected herself, but Dawn chuckled.

“Don’t be so formal. Can I come in? There is something I want to discuss with you.”

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

Blake was enraged because Arren kept crying. The baby was scared because his father had been out of control. He literally destroyed everything in this house after he returned from the dinner.

Once again, he couldn’t get close to Dawn. He couldn’t even talk with her. He could only look at her even though she was within his reach.

“Fuck! Make that thing shut up! SHUT HIM UP! or I will throw him to the sea!” Blake roared angrily, while Ava hugged her grandson. She stared at her son in disbelief.

This was the son that she had raised, but he turned into a monster. His Insanity must have caught up to him.

Meanwhile, Emily tried to calm him down, but Blake beat her up. He couldn’t care less even when Emily was bleeding and her body littered with bruises, because before the sun appeared in the horizon next day, her wounds would have healed completely.

“Make that thing shut up!”

“Blake, stop this…” Ava pleaded.

Blake lost his temper, he marched toward Ava to grab Arren, but she rushed out of the door, before he could get to them, leaving the house with her grandson quickly.
