Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: IT’S NOT FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
The next day, they were ready to go back to the palace, this time, the entourage was triple the size of the king entourage the previous day, because people from Marca El would go with them too.

They would leave after breakfast.

For this occasion, the knights from Marca El filled the dining hall, while the royal warriors and the warrior of the Moonlight pack ate somewhere else as a form of courtesy, since the dining room wouldn’t be able to accommodate all of them.

Alpha Tony tried to find an opportunity to talk with his daughter, but he couldn’t find the right time or the right opportunity to do so, because the alpha would always be there and he knew he was not welcome to get close to Dawn.

However, if it was not now, he wouldn’t have another chance in the future.

Therefore, he bit his tongue and approached Dawn when he saw she had done eating. She was heavily pregnant. He remembered how his mate was when she was pregnant with her. Dawn really looked like her mother and this made his guilt became stronger.

“Dawn, can we talk for a while?” Alpha Tony approached Dawn, his heart beat so hard, because alpha Zenith kept glaring dagger when he saw he walked toward them, but he kept his legs moving, it almost felt like you walked straight to a vicious predator.

Dawn looked at her father, she had seen him trying to ignore Zenith’s death glare and she appreciated that.

“I will not take long,” Dawn said, she touched Zenith’s arm, to tell him that she would be fine. She mindlink him too that she wanted this conversation with her father.

[Don’t take long, being upset is not good for our baby.]

Dawn chuckled to that mindlink and stood up, but Zenith had stood up first and helped her. He did this in front of Blake and Emily, who were there too.

Emily balled her fists. This was the man that should be hers. This was the man that she deserved, but her bitch of mother had shoved her to the man beside her, who knew nothing but to beat his mate up.

Her wounds had healed, there was no trace of it, but the pain that Emily felt was something that not even a shifter ability could heal.

Emily glanced at Blake, he gave the alpha a dagger look. He did a poor job to hide his emotions and Emily knew he had been wanting to have a conversation with Dawn too, but he couldn’t do the same thing like alpha Tony did.

Meanwhile, King Rowan was having a conversation with Zander, but his eyes kept wandering to Zaya, who was sitting beside her brother.

“I heard she is not a shifter?” The question was very blunt and straight to the point. People could see this straightforwardness as a rude thing, but Zander didn’t seem to see it that way.

“Yes, our mother is not a shifter, she is a powerful magic user, so it is obvious that my sister took after her so much.” Zander glanced at Zaya, he was still wearing his golden mask, which made king Rowan wondered, but he held his tongue.

It was different when you were being blunt about the king’s sister and to question the king in front of so many people.

“Can I see her magic?” king Rowan suggested. “Magic user is not common in my continent.”

“If my sister is not mind, I don’t have any objection.”

However, Zaya minded it. “Pardon me, king Rowan, but I used my magic for defense and to heal someone, I don’t use it for entertainment.”

Zander smiled at that answer. “You have the answer, king Rowan.”

The king from Marca El nodded, as if he understood, but his eyes still lingered on Zaya. He seemed to be curious with this auburn girl.

“I am going to kill you, Zan, if you entertained whatever thought this king has in his mind,” Zaya talked in a very low voice, before she drank her drink, so people wouldn’t be able to see that she was talking to her brother, but as a shifter, Zander could hear her clearly, since she was right beside him.

Meanwhile, Dawn stepped out of the dining hall with alpha Tony and they walked in the garden. This would help with her indigestion to walk after eating, thus she didn’t mind, more so, it had been so long, since she didn’t come to this garden.

“I can see how well his treatment toward you, Dawn and I am glad that he treated you well,” alpha Tony said, he tried to break the ice between them.

“Yes, I am glad too. He is more than I expected.”

After that, there was silent between them. Dawn then found a bench to sit because it was a little bit hard to walk for long when she was this heavily pregnant.

“If you planned to say something, you can say it now, because we are ready to go back to the palace after breakfast.”

Tony stood up in front of her, while she was sitting down, he lowered his head, didn’t dare to see her eyes.

“I know that you must be sick to hear this and probably you will not believe and it is too little too late for me to ask for your forgiveness, but Dawn, believe me… I regret everything that I have done to you… to your mother and the way I treated you afterward.”

“As you should.” Dawn didn’t have any plan to comfort him. It was him, who messed up, why would she be the one, who picked up the pieces and made him comfortable?

Alpha Tony nodded. “I know my mistake, Dawn. I know how much I have hurt you.”

“No. You don’t.” Dawn shook her head. “You only feel sorry because your little happy family fell apart. This is not what you expected, that’s why you feel sorry.”
