Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: IT’S A BOY!
The contraction was getting closer from one another, as the sun set. Sweat layered on her forehead and the grim look on the alpha became even more palpable with each passing time.

Zenith looked like he was ready to fight off the monsters in the Untouched Land right now to see his mate was in so much pain.

“Is this normal? How come the baby is not yet coming out?” Zenith glared at Celine.

“Zen…” Dawn appeased him, despite she was in pain, she didn’t want him to pressure Celine, because she was still being very emotional after losing Lance, though she wrapped her mourn nicely under her calm façade.

“This is normal for most woman, alpha, you don’t need to worry.”

“My mate is in so much pain.” Trepidation look in his eyes.

“This is normal, Zen,” Zaya said, she helped to ease the situation.

But even when Dawn assured him that she was fine and this was still bearable, it still didn’t convince Zenith at all, but he tried his best to be there for Dawn and support her throughout this long contraction.

Even Dawn had to admit that this contraction was longer than the previous one, though Celine assured her this was still normal.

“There were some women, who have to go through this for days.”

“Days?!” Zenith snapped at Celine.

Thankfully, the baby decided to go out when it was close to midnight. Dawn was crowning and Celine told her to start pushing.

Zenith was mortified because the smell of blood was very thick in the air and the blood came from his mate.

He was not scared of blood by any means, but this time, he felt like his organs were being twisted. His mate was bleeding and this sickening scent of blood came from Dawn only. How much of blood lost she was going through right now.

She could die if she kept losing blood.

This could be the scariest thing in his life and he slightly regretted that he got her pregnant and had to endure this pain.

However, Dawn took it like a champion, as she asked for water in her mid push.

“I am thirsty…” Dawn said, she looked at Zenith, who immediately helped her to drink the water and she continued to push again after that.

It still amazed Zenith of how she could casually ask for water during this critical moment.

“You did a good job, Dawn! Keep pushing!” Zaya cheered for her.

Dawn’s face had turned very red and sweat tricked from her hairlines. She held Zenith’s hand tightly, her nails stabbed his, but the alpha couldn’t care less about the small scratches.

And it didn’t take long for the baby to come out and cry so loud, as if he wanted to announce to the world about his existence.

“It’s a boy!” Celine said with relief, as she held the baby in her arms. “Congratulation! Alpha! Luna!”

Yara was there too, she helped with everything that she could and once the baby was here, she rushed out of the room to inform the gamma.

“Darius! Darius! It’s a boy!” She said gleefully to the gamma, before she entered the room again and Darius was so excited, he dashed to find Zander to tell him about this.

Inside the room, Zenith felt like he had lost a few years of his life upon witnessing the childbirth. This was so wild. Wilder than he could imagine.

“This will be our only baby, no more baby,” Zenith said, kissing Dawn’s forehead, but she simply chuckled.

“Silly,” she said tiredly.

Zaya was the one who cleaned the baby, later on, she would brag that she was the one, who held the baby first to mess with Zenith and Zander, while Yara helped to clean Dawn.

Celine gave a prescription to the two healers and told them to make a concoction for Dawn.

“Here, the baby,” Zaya said, carrying a small bundle in her arms.

Zenith watched when Zaya put the baby on Dawn’s chest, the little on wriggled its little body. His skin was clean, wrinkle and stubble of black hair on his tiny head. Everything about the baby was so tiny.

However, the baby was beautiful.

Dawn gasped when the baby latched on her and breastfed for the first time. The little one made a noisy sound, as if he was angry, but somehow, it sounded very endearing.

“I think the baby is hungry,” Yara said to no one in particular, as she giggled to see the baby on Dawn’s chest.

“Are you, okay?” Zenith asked, he remembered how Dawn fell unconscious for a few weeks after she gave birth to their son, but right now she looked more than fine.

“I am more than okay,” Dawn said, tears brimmed in her eyes, but this was tears of happiness, as she could hold her baby.

It felt surreal and she was hit with countless emotions from her both lives…

“He is beautiful,” Zenith said softly, he put his finger in his son’s palm and he grabbed it tightly.

“Yes, he is,” Dawn agreed without even need to think.

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

It was a ritual to accept Blake as part of this.

His name was Archie. He was the person that Jason had been in contact to in the past years. The person, who connected him with the people from the west kingdom.

“What should I do here?” Blake asked, he squinted his eyes at a little boy, around the age of six on the stone slab. He was crying, asking for his mommy. All of his limbs were tied tightly, his body was in X position.

“This is a ritual to welcome you to be part of the west. This is also an oath for your loyalty to the only true king in this continent, king Vemion.”

“So?” Blake raised his brows. “What that boy is for?”

All of the people here wore black cloak with hoodie that covered their faces.

“The boy is the sacrifice.”

“Sacrifice?” Blake narrowed his eyes.
