Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 165

Chapter 165: A PEACEFUL NIGHT
With the way king Rowan verbalized his attention and how he made it very clear to the point Zander couldn’t twist the word, it left the king with no other option, but to answer for that offer.

It was a tricky situation, since he had to answer this question carefully. He couldn’t offend the other king, because Zander involved him with this whole mess for a reason, but there was no way in hell he was going to let this barbaric man to have his sweet Zaya.

Well, she was not particularly sweet and sometime her words could be sharper than any blades, but still.

“Zaya doesn’t like man,” Zander blurted it out.

King Rowan raised his brows, he repeated the words. “Princess Zaya doesn’t like man?”

“Yes. You don’t need to ask her, she is a little bit iffy with the topic.” Zander’s expression couldn’t be seen behind his golden mask, but Pyro’s was on full display. King Rowan knew it right away, as the royal beta was in disbelief with Zander’s choice of words.

He knew that Zander could be shameless, but he felt so embarrassed for the princess right now.

“Probably because she doesn’t have a good man in her life.”

Pyro wanted the ground split, as the tension heightened. The two kings didn’t back down and they bit back with their words.

Zander chuckled with that statement. “That’s the opposite actually. Zaya is very picky, because her expectation is very high, since she has a king and the alpha from the north as her standard.”

Pyro really wanted to leave the room at this point.

“Is that so?” king Rowan raised his brows with that statement.

“Don’t you agree?” Zander asked lightly. It would be seen as an insult if king Rowan disagreed with the statement, since Zander had made it clear to use his status as the king, instead his own name in the matter.

Therefore, it could be said as him brought the whole kingdom in this entire light conversation.

And thankfully, king Rowan was clever enough to see this tricky question. In fact, the more Zander tried to dissuade him not to pursue her, the more he became interest with her.

“I am glad that I am the king too,” he replied.

Pyro could see Zander spit fire when he heard that relentless answer.

“Such an interesting status,” Zander replied.

The royal beta felt the need to stop this before thing escalated further. He made a mental note not to leave these two alone.

“What is more interesting is the fact that magic stone could be used as the material for sword, our blacksmith had just confirmed that.” Pyro was very tactful.

Thankfully, the two kings dropped the topic and changed their discussion. This conversation about the sword that made of magic stone lasted for two hours and once they were done, they would make a short trip to the magic stone mines two days from now.

After that, king Rowan took his leave, leaving Zander and Pyro alone in the strategy room.

“Zaya is going to kill you if she found out what you said,” Pyro said.

“Zenith will kill me if he found out I brought a barbaric and let him fancied our sister.”

Pyro shook his head and clicked his tongue. “You are a dead man, Zan.”

Zander took off his golden mask, some time it was weird to see how identical the two of them, but with how different their personalities it made them very different in a way.

“Proceed with our plan. We will do it tonight,” Zander said. His eyes dimmed and he looked a little bit distraught.

Pyro knew what he had to do, because they had prepared this for some time now. He then left the room to carry the order.

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

Dawn could feel something big would happen tonight, because Zenith let her knew about all the detail of their plan and she felt bad for Celine.

It would break her heart.

They had become so close because Zaya was a good friend with the healer for years and she was very grateful that they could accept her, but it broke her heart to know that Celine would be in so much pain tonight. She cared about her friend.

“What are you thinking about?” Zenith approached her and kissed her cheek. He couldn’t get enough of her, as he gave her more kisses.

The alpha hugged her from behind and placed his hand under her belly, to support the baby in her womb and Dawn very much liked it when he did this, because their baby was getting heavier by the day.

“Nothing, I only felt bad for Celine. She will feel sad.”

“She will feel more sad if she knew what he did to her.”

“But, you said it yourself that he is under the influence.”

“The magic will not work if he didn’t have feeling for her in the first place. Lance didn’t even fight it. He chose to fight his own mate instead and justified it.”

Zander, Zenith and Pyro didn’t show how distraught they were for having to kill Lance, but no matter what, it was his own fault for ignoring the king’s warning. He succumbed too deep into Aurel’s influence, it would be hard to keep him around.

“Lance is an opening for the sect to attack Zander. Even if we managed to get rid Aurel, the sect will find a way to use him, since he will be a weak spot close to Zander.”

Zenith explained everything to Dawn, as they stared at the moonlight, it was as peaceful night, but a few hours later, it wouldn’t be as peaceful.

“So, Aurel is indeed involved with the sect?”

“Yes.” Zenith learned everything when he killed both of them. “The future has changed so much.”

Dawn nodded. She agreed with that and she wondered what would happen then. She also wondered how Zander lost his wolf spirit, but was still alive until now.
