Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC WITH ME, PRINCESS?
“Is there any different between the war horses and the normal horses?” Dawn asked Zenith, she was fascinated with the horses that people from Marca El brought with them. Those horses were exceptionally big.

“Yes, there is…” Zenith explained to her about a few things and more detail about Marca El people and about the situation there.

The fact that king Rowan usurped his father to get the throne didn’t sit well with her, but Zenith told her that the previous king, was not a good king to the people, so the people didn’t really upset with this fact.

With that little information, Dawn changed her mind. “Maybe his father was really suck.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Some time there are these people, who don’t deserve to be a parent and a sovereign.”

It seemed, her conversation with alpha Tony upset her more than she let it out.

But, amidst their light conversation inside the carriage, suddenly they stopped moving and a warning was sounded from the front entourage.

“Monster attack!”

People shouted at that warning to relay the message to the people behind. The royal warriors immediately shifted into their beast form, so did the warrior from the north. Zenith brought around twenty warriors on his own when they went to Moonlight pack.

“Stay here,” Zenith said grimly. He kissed her forehead and then got off the carriage.

“Monster attack?” Dawn wondered how these monsters would reach this forest, because it was a very rare occasion for a monster to wander here. Let alone an attack that made this big entourage stopped.

If it was only one or two, the front warriors would deal with it without raising any ruckus, but right now, it didn’t seem like it was the case.

Dawn opened the window and watched a bunch of trolls surrounded them. “Troll again?” she narrowed her eyes.

She was not worried that the royal warriors and the knights from Marca El couldn’t handle them, but this was not the first weird attack in the forest that supposed to be not a habitant for monster.

All the warriors shifted into their beasts and the knights unsheathed their swords, they roared loudly and the sound of the hooves of their horses was thunderous.

This was the first time Dawn watched how the knights from Marca El fought and it was… brutal, to put it mildly.

Their swords were so big and looked heavy, but they carried it like a stick, they swung it with ease. Once they swung their swords, one head of the trolls rolled on the ground and this made the royal warriors felt like they were being challenged.

In the end, the monster attack turned into a competition of who had killed the monster the most.

“Poor monster,” Dawn said, the corner of her lips twitched.

“Yeah, poor monster,” Darius said and only then Dawn realized the gamma didn’t join the fight and had been leaning his back against the carriage, watching everything unfolded.

“What are you doing there? Why don’t you join them?”

“What do you think that happened?” Darius tilted his head, he looked a little bit annoyed for some reason.

“No idea.” Dawn shook her head.

“Of course, it’s because your mate told me to stay here and guard the carriage when those monsters couldn’t even break the outer defense. I am doing nothing here, while they were having fund there,” Darius complained.

How could he say they were having fun when they were fighting a monster?

Dawn poked her head out of the window and looked at him. “You should be out there and fight, while Zenith is here. How could you send the alpha out there while you are cozying up here?”

Darius turned his head. “We have the same thought! But, Zenith wanted to fight those trolls.”

Dawn clicked her tongue. “Hey, don’t you think this is the same like before?” She reminded Darius of the attack that happened not so long ago and he agreed it felt familiar. “Why don’t you check if you could find that same scent? If it was the same person, this must be the same method.”

Dawn had not yet told Zenith about her conversation with Lyra, but she would do it later.

“Okay!” Darius was happy enough to do something. “Wait, but I can’t leave you alone.”

“Can’t you see they are almost done.”

Dawn was right, they were almost done and all the trolls’ dead body littered on the ground, the smell made Dawn scrunched her nose.

“But, if Zen is angry with me, I will say that this is your order and I have to listen to my luna too.” Darius conveniently threw her as the excuse and then walked away to look for the scent, he still remembered that scent.

However, when they thought it was over and all the trolls had been killed, there was a second attack, this time, it was a horde of Vermeyes.

Vermeyes was a monster with small red eyes, which didn’t match with its monstrous body, in which could reach five meters tall, but they couldn’t run fast enough. Their bite could be poisonous though and because of their size, they could be very destructive.

“The monsters in your continent are very interesting, I have heard about these monsters and now I got the honor to see them,” King Rowan said. He was sitting on the horseback, close to the king carriage, while Zaya poked her head from inside. She didn’t worry about her brothers, but this attack didn’t look good on them since they had people from Marca El as their guest. “Do they have name?”

Zaya wanted to close the window, but it would be rude, yet she didn’t want to engage in a conversation with this king, since he had been trying to talk to her.

“Yes, that big one is Brian, behind Brian is Little Roland and on their left side is their cousin, Theo.”

“Are you being sarcastic with me, princess?” King Rowan asked, he was smiling.
