Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 175

Chapter 175: HOW TO WOO A WOMAN
Zaya tried to get away from him, but unfortunately for her, the king had a long stride, thus it was not a problem for him to catch up to her. The king had a shoulder length black hair that he tied behind his nape and his penetrating eyes made Zaya felt… exposed.

She had never seen anyone that looked very intimidating aside from her two brothers and this rather made her a little bit uneasy.

“What should I do to make you change your mind?” King Rowan asked, he matched her steps.

“I will not change my mind.”

“As far as I know, you are not a shifter, so it’s rather impossible for you to wait for that mate things. So, what are you waiting for?” King Rowan was very persistent and blunt with his approach.

“I am waiting for someone that I love.” Zaya stopped walking when king Rowan stood in front of her and smiled confidently.

“He is here now.”

“Obviously not you, king Rowan.” Zaya gave him a harmless smile and then stepped aside to avoid him. This time, he didn’t chase her, but what he said next made Zaya stopped walking on her own.

“Do you really think I don’t know that your brother tried to pin me against the Holy Kingdom? So, I can help with the battle if it has to come to that?”

Zaya turned around. “What makes you think that way?” She narrowed her eyes.

“Just the truth of the situation. I know the relationship between the two kingdoms is not good. I learned that it has been strained ever since the very beginning.” King Rowan’s gaze softened. “I know that your brother will eventually reach to me to ask for help, especially when I resented the Holy Kingdom for not taking responsibility for the death of my knight.”

Zaya was relief when she heard that. At the very least, king Rowan didn’t know that the death of his knight was orchestrated by Zander.

“You get benefit from this situation too, king Rowan.” Zaya reminder him. “Asking my hand will make you look greedy.”

After saying that, Zaya walked away and one of his trusted knights approached him. “You should stop with that blunt approach. You need to have a plan to woo her. Women like that kind of thing.”

King Rowan tilted his head. “What do you mean?”

Addie grinned from ear to ear. “Start with giving her flowers and take her out for sightseeing, while doing that, you need to compliment how beautiful she is. That’s for the start.”

King Rowan looked at him sceptically. He squinted his eyes and then walked away without saying anything.

“Did you even listen?” Addie was frustrated. “You are good when you swung your sword, but you are not good with woman at all.”

“Do you want to see how good I am with my sword?” King Rowan stopped walking and looked at him dead in the eyes.

Addie pursed his lips. “Why are you angry?” he said in small voice, glancing at the sword at the king’s waist worriedly.

Alpha Tony had an hour with Zade and he cherished this time so much, he had never felt this happy recently, but with the baby, he felt like he could forget all of his misery for a while.

However, when his times was up and Zade was taken away from him by Yara, the king called him to meet him in the strategy room because there were a few things that he wanted to ask.

Of course, alpha Tony gladly went there. Dawn said to do whatever the king told him to do and that was what he would do. He prayed Dawn would see this as his effort to mend things between them.

It’s not like he could deny the king’s order though…

But inside the strategy room, not only Zander, but Zenith was also there, along with Pyro and Darius. From the look of it, this must be something serious.

“Sit down, alpha Tony,” Zander said, nodded at the chair in front of him. “There is something important that I couldn’t do without your favor.”

That was only a sweet way for Zander to address his request and with what Dawn said, alpha Tony was more than willing to fulfill whatever assignment that was given to him.

Obviously, Dawn knew about this plan, but currently, she was with her baby. Couldn’t care less about what happened, because she was enjoying her time with him, Zaya came after that to join her.

“Oh! See! I told you that he will have blue eyes!” Zaya giggled when she saw Zade’s blue eyes. “Oh, he is so cute! Let me hold him!”

Zade giggled when Zaya carried him and kissed him, he babbled and played with her auburn hair.

“Do you know that Zander proposed to make Zade to be the crown prince?” Zaya asked.

“Yes, Zenith told me about that.” Dawn nudged, she nudged her baby’s chubby cheek. “But, I think that’s too early because it will be complicated if one day he decided to take a chosen mate.”

Zaya smiled sadly. “I don’t think he will do that.”

“What happened to him?” Dawn had been very curious about this, but Zenith always said that this was not his story to tell.

And Zaya said the same thing. “I am sorry, I can’t tell you. I was not there when it happened either, so I don’t know the detail of what happened.”

Dawn nodded, she respected that and they spent the day together with Celine. The healer looked a little bit better after a few weeks had passed, since the death of Lance. She still didn’t know the truth.

“Oh, right. Will you come to the battle hunt?” Zaya asked.

“Battle hunt?” Dawn was confused.

“Zenith must have not yet told you about this, but a month from now, there will be a battle hunt in Goffa mountain. It seems, the knights are mesmerized by the monsters.”
