Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 180

Chapter 180: HE WAS FINE
“So, you went out on a date and you captured the people from the west?” Zander pinned his sister down with his intense look, as if saying; what the hell were you doing with that barbaric king?

Zaya huffed, she put her hands on her hips to match his energy. “I was being polite, okay.”

“You don’t need to be polite.”

“A ‘thank you’ will be nice, since I captured them for you.”

“King Rowan did it, I will give him a bouquet of flowers to express my gratitude.”

Pyro closed his eyes, he was so done with their bickering. It had gone for long enough. “Excuse me,” Pyro cleared his throat. “Can we focus on the matter at hand now?”

“Do you want a marriage alliance with him?” Zander took off his golden mask and looked at his little sister, who glared at him defiantly.

“I never said that!” Zaya was frustrated. “I went out because I have been rejecting him over and over again and it’s not polite. Because you need him, at the very least that I could do to help you is not to piss him off when you already did, okay!?”

A guard came out of the room and talked about something to Pyro. The royal beta dismissed him and then stepped in between the two siblings.

“The two people didn’t want to say anything.”

“Torture them.” Zander glared at Pyro, directed his anger toward him.

“We already did. They are on the verge of dying right now.” If they were not shifters, they would have died by now.

“Call Zenith, he knew how to torture someone. I have a weak stomach whenever I saw blood.”

Pyro squinted his eyes at the king. “Please, be more believable if you wanted to lie.”

Zander only got Zenith involved because he wanted to keep his brother on the loop, since Zenith handed all the problem to him and only focus on his mate and son, more so, he was talking about returning back to the north lately. Living his happy ever after there.

Of course, Zander wouldn’t allow that when he still needed his brother here.

Nevertheless, they called Zenith and tried his method to make the two of them talked, yet they were too stubborn, they even dared the alpha to kill them.

“Just kill them, they are lost cause.” Zenith furrowed his brows. He praised them for their stubbornness, but Zander didn’t agree with him.

“In that case, Zaya’s effort will go to waste.”

“Zaya?” Zenith turned his head to his sister, as if asking how she could be the one, who captured these two and Zander happily provided him with the story.

Zaya looked at Zander in disbelief. He tattled on her.

However, thankfully, Zenith’s reaction was not like Zander. He actually didn’t give any respond, only staring at her for a brief second before he continued the torture to make the two of them spilled the information.

Zander looked disappointed with the lack of response and Zaya gave another idea. “Should we take the two people from the Holy Kingdom and asked them instead?”

“The people from the Holy Kingdom will realize that, more so, they are being very agitated with us currently, because of that weird sickness.”

Apparently, only the elders, who got the worse sickness, while the other people only got the mild one and Celine’s medicine helped for a few hours, still, they needed to drink the medicine constantly.

Whatever poison that Dawn put on them, it was vicious enough to the point Celine couldn’t figure it out.

“Why don’t we ask Dawn?”

“What do you mean with asking the luna?” Pyro chimed in.

In front of them, the two shifters from the west looked battered, their life was hanging on the thread. They needed time to heal these wounds.

“Ask her to poison them.” Zaya looked cheerful when she suggested this idea. She explained that if Dawn could make those elders from the Holy Kingdom to get sick, to the point they couldn’t do anything, then she might have one or two poisons to make these people to talk.

“Good idea,” Zander said, he agreed readily with Zaya.

“No.” Zenith glared at his siblings. “Don’t get her involved in this.”

“Let her decided then.” Zaya smiled mischievously.

However, Zenith couldn’t do much when Zaya insisted and went straight to Dawn and tell her about the situation and an hour later, Dawn was there, in the damp dungeon and stared at the beaten up shifters. Their condition could make someone cowered away, but Dawn looked them, unfazed.

This reminded Zander and Pyro of how Dawn looked the same when they brought a dead body of the warrior to the north. The gruesome sight didn’t bother her at all.

“I think I have one perfect poison to make them talk,” Dawn grinned.

“See? I told you she can help,” Dawn smiled proudly to herself.

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

Blake was required to bring the sacrifice for tonight, since people from the Holy Kingdom had come and this was the requirement for them to join the sect.

A little boy would die tonight on the same stone slab and it was not hard for Blake to find the perfect sacrifice, since the Moonlight pack littered with the little shifters around that age.

But this time, Jared handed over the knife to Blake, letting him to do the honor to cut the little boy’s body opened, while the other people watched him bled to death.

Blake stared at the lifeless little boy, he knew ever since he just a babe and would greet him every morning, since he lived next to his house. He was a bubble little boy, an active and curious one to say the least.

Blake wondered would he miss that smile and looked deep into his heart whether he regretted his action, but he felt nothing. His heart was too dark now for him to find a sliver of his conscience.

He was fine with it.
