Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: THE HEAVY RAIN
Dawn laughed when she watched how Zenith and baby Zade looked uncomfortable with each other. The baby wriggled his little body in Zenith’s arms, feeling uncomfortable and looked at Dawn, as if asking her to take him away, while the alpha looked under the pressure.

“I have never held a child, let alone a baby,” Zenith said in his defense and Dawn took back Zade from his arms when the little one started to cry.

“You will get there,” Dawn encouraged him and kissed his cheek. Zenith indeed tried to hold Zade.

“Yeah.” Zenith looked at his son helplessly, the little one stopped crying the moment Dawn held him.

And that was when Yara entered the room and told them that the alpha from Moonlight pack came to see Dawn.

“I will see him,” Dawn said and Zenith seemed to expect that.

“Do you want me to come with you?”

“I would love to, but I think I will handle this on my own this time,” Dawn replied.

“Okay.” Zenith contemplated a while. “Give me the baby.”

“Are you sure?”

Dawn handed baby Zade to Zenith again, in which the baby knitted his brows again, as if saying; not again, mommy…

She chuckled to think about that and pecked Zenith’s lips. “You can do it.”

And after that, Dawn walked away, leaving Zenith and baby Zade alone.

“Work with me, okay?” Zenith said to his son, who pursed his lips. His golden eyes stared at him unhappily and then their color changed into blue. There was this small smile on the corner of his lips. “So, they are blue.”

It was not unexpected for her father to come, Dawn thought he would show up eventually when he heard about the baby, but still, it was impulsive of him to leave the pack to Blake after her warning, or maybe, he simply didn’t listen to her and didn’t take what she said seriously.

That wouldn’t be the first time, though.

“Good evening, alpha Tony,” Dawn greeted her father. She kept her words when she said that she didn’t see him as her father anymore and alpha Tony looked sad when he heard the way she addressed him, but said nothing.

“Dawn,” Tony said her name, there was longing in his eyes. He wanted to hug her, but he stopped himself. “I heard you have given birth. I came here to see you and the baby.”

“Thank you for coming all the way here.” Dawn nodded. “It’s already late. I will ask someone to prepare your room, you can see the baby in the morning.”

This was already generous of Dawn to let Tony to see Zade.

“Dawn, what should I do to make it up to you?” Tony asked, he looked at his daughter with this look that showed how remorseful he was for everything that happened between them.

Dawn chose to stay and have this conversation with him. “I don’t know.” She shook her head. She didn’t even take a seat, indicating that this conversation wouldn’t be long. “I don’t expect anything from you. there is no point of fixing this broken relationship, because I don’t want it anymore,” she said calmly. “You have been checked out from my life for so long. You have never been by my side ever since you have that little perfect family of yours and I used to not have you.”

Tony was devastated when he heard that. He couldn’t help it. He felt remorseful. He felt this strong regret every time he saw Dawn, especially when she looked like her mother.

It was his guilt that stopped him to get close to Dawn, because every time he saw her, he remembered of what happened. His mate and his daughter were attacked, but he found comfort in another woman’s arms.

The guilty feeling was too strong and he couldn’t face it. He couldn’t face Dawn and now, he lost everything.

“I will do everything for you, Dawn.”

“I only need you to follow what the king ordered you to do. You must have known that there are a few conflicts in the harbor.” Dawn could see hope in his eyes, but she shattered it. “But, it doesn’t mean I can forgive you. It only means, I can stand you.”

Called her vengeful, but she didn’t see the reason for him to be part of her life anymore, not after what he had done.

“Okay. I understood.” Tony looked defeated and then a maid approached Dawn to tell her that her that the room for alpha Tony was ready. “Dawn, do I hurt you that much?” To the point that she couldn’t forgive him?

“You used to hurt me, but right now, I don’t feel anything toward you.” And that was the worse thing that could happen.

If Tony’s action still hurt Dawn, it meant, she still cared into a certain level, because what he did still evoke her emotions, but right now, she felt nothing.

“I am sorry for what I have done to you, Dawn.”

“Good night, alpha Tony.” Dawn cut the conversation short and then returned to her bedroom.

That was a long night, out there, the sky was so dark and close to midnight, rain started pouring down. It felt like storm was coming.

However, that night also two ships docked in the harbor. With alpha Tony gave the authority to Blake, since he wanted to see his grandson, he didn’t know about these two ships and because of the storm, the report about this came very late.

“They are…” Blake narrowed his eyes, the wind was so harsh and he was drenched in the heavy rain when he watched two ships docked, while Archie stood next to him. They were not alone, there were these two siblings behind them, Rye and Lucia, they were also part of the sect.

“Our sect brothers,” Archie replied, grinning from ear to ear. “You are a great help, Blake. We have been waiting for this opportunity. Jared will know your contribution.”
