Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: DEATHS AT NIGHT
Most of the time, someone who lost their wolf spirit wouldn’t be as lively as Zander right now. They would die eventually.

Your wolf spirit was akin to your life force, once it was gone, you wouldn’t have any desire to live and eventually, your body would follow.

However, it was not the case with Zander and the only explanation that Dawn could get was; something happened ten years ago when they were eighteen, the moment where Zander met with his destined mate and she died. That was the same time when Zander lost his wolf spirit and was unable to shift.

Zenith didn’t give her any detail about the event, but from the way he said this story, Dawn had a feeling that he didn’t want her to pry. He was not ready to tell her about what happened in that eventful night and she stopped herself from asking.

“What is the little wolf doing?” Dawn asked, as she leaned her back against his chest, feeling good with his hand supported her swollen belly.

“Sleeping on the windowsill,” Zenith replied. They were talking about their baby’s wolf spirit.

Zaya loved to talk about it, she felt particularly happy to know that Zenith could see their baby’s wolf spirit and it was cute in her opinion. She wished, she could see it too.

And as the night progressed, the peace inside the palace was disrupted when a chaos ensued in the west tower, this was a place, where Marca El knights stayed.

A big explosion could be heard and fire burned down the tower, while not too far from there, there were three bodies that they could find.

“Call the healer!” Pyro roared, giving an order to the warriors nearby and shouted more order for them to call for the king and let him knew what happened.

In less than half an hour, the two kings arrived. King Rowan was livid when he saw one of his knights were dead. He was almost unrecognizable if it was not for the armor that he was wearing, since he was burned so bad, you could smell his burning flesh.

“What the meaning of this?!” king Rowan hollered angrily, he faced Zander, demanding an explanation.

Zander was unfazed by the other king’s rage, his blue eyes met with his black one and there was no fear that he could see there.

“Did your magic user kill my knight?!” King Rowan asked point blank. He accused Pyro of doing this.

“If you are still not aware yet, that’s my gamma’s body over there. He is dead too,” Zander said, his voice was akin to a frozen lake. “Calm down and we will learn the truth.”

Zander walked away from him and approached Lance’s dead body. He checked on him briefly and then moved toward the other dead bodies. His eyes glinted with malice.

“Call Elder Isaac here! And all the representatives from the Holy Kingdom!” Zander issued the order. It was already so late at night, thus they must be sleeping on their comfortable bed, dreaming of something pleasant only to be hit by this reality.

There were three dead bodies there. It was Lance, the knight from Marca Ele and… Aurel.

“Tell me what happened here, Pyro,” Zander asked his royal beta and now all of their eyes were on him.

He was the only witnessed, because when the explosion happened, he was already here, thus it was safe to assume that he somehow the caused of the explosion. He was a magic user after all.

“Aurel escaped the dungeon, Lance and I were about to capture her and the fight ensued…”

Pyro explained that Aurel used black magic and unfortunately for the knight, he heard the commotion and came over, but he was hit by Aurel’s magic user. Not only that, Aurel also killed Lance in the process.

Hearing that, king Rowan’s face turned dark. His knight had nothing to do with the dispute with the Holy Kingdom and he died for that stupid reason? The knight was the collateral damage here.

“There is no way Aurel could manage to use such powerful black magic to kill anyone!” Elder Isaac denied the accusation when he arrived there and heard the full story.

Zander smirked behind his golden mask. Kept denying that… and you would feel the wrath of the king from Marca El.

Of course, king Rowan was not happy with the way elder Isaac didn’t take any responsibility in this matter, which was expected of him, since he had been doing this since the beginning.

“Magic left trace, I can check whether or not she used black magic before this,” Zaya said, as she made her way there. “You can confirm that too, elder Isaac.”

She came with Celine, who immediately went to see Lance. She dropped to her knees when she watched the royal gamma’s condition. His body was bleeding and there was a huge hole in his chest.

From the look of it, a beast had clawed his heart out of his body and crushed it, later on, Pyro explained that Aurel controlled two warriors to fight Lance and they manage to get to him and kill him before Pyro could kill the two of them.

He pointed at the other two dead bodies, which in total, there were five people died tonight.

“Impossible! Aurel couldn’t control people!” Elder Isaac roared angrily. “She is not a magic user, she is not a mind controller!”

“Then why don’t you check it whether or not she used black magic!?” king Rowan was annoyed by this old hag and now he could feel Zander’s frustration to face this man.

“I- I mean… I mean…” Elder Isaac stuttered. “She can use black magic… but she is not that powerful…” He tried to justify it.

“I thought Holy Kingdom forbade black magic.” King Rowan narrowed his eyes. “Why did you keep her alive? I heard your Holy shit Kingdom refused to give her a proper punishment?” He asked coldly.
