Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 182

Chapter 182: THE DECISION IS IN YOUR HAND PRINCESS
“No.” That was Zander only answer, he knew what this king wanted and he wouldn’t trade his sister for anything.

“I have not yet stated my request.”

“You can ask about anything, but princess Zaya is off limit.” Zander met king Rowan’s hard eyes.

“You will regret this decision.” King Rowan clenched his jaw. He didn’t like to be challenged. “There is no way you could win against them.”

“Will you join them because I reject you?” Zander could feel anger licked his skin, he needed to stop and think about what he had to say thoroughly, but the thought of trading Zaya for king Rowan’s help, enraged him.

Probably Zenith was right about this one thing, he shouldn’t have gotten this king involved.

“You judged me too fast, king Zander,” king Rowan said with his deep tone. “I am not that kind of person.” He stood up and then approached the other king. Zander held his eyes, the two kings looked like they were going to rip each other’s throat. “Let’s focus on our business then. We are going to leave in two months with the steel.”

“Good.”

And that was the conversation between them. Zander indeed wanted king Rowan’s knight, since it would help tremendously with his plan, but the price that he asked was something that he didn’t even want to consider.

Yet, king Rowan found a way to get what he wanted when he went straight to Zaya and greet her like usual before leading the conversation to his main intention.

If Zander didn’t even want to consider it, it was not the same for his sister. Spending time with her, letting him knew her a little bit better and he liked her even more.

“The decision is in your hand, princess because your king brother is too over proctective to see a bigger picture.” King Rowan’s voice grazed her ears gently, but the weight on his words was very heavy.

He made it clear for Zaya what he wanted and this was up to her how she would respond it when she knew very well about the current situation.

“Why do you want me?” Zaya narrowed her eyes.

They were currently in the garden, where Zaya had a good time with Celine, but the healer had to make an excuse to leave when king Rowan came.

“Will you accept the excuse of ‘obsession at first sight’?”

Zaya didn’t find that funny at all, she crossed her arms and her defiance was something that made king Rowan attracted to her more.

“Why do you find it weird when you people, the shifter, have what you called destined mate, where you will be attracted to each other at one glance. Couldn’t I have the same? Probably I am a werewolf descendent too.”

Zaya looked like she was really going to turn him into a frog now and the look on her face actually pretty… adorable.

“I don’t make a deal with your brother now, I make a deal with you.” King Rowan plucked one of the flowers that he didn’t know the name of, but he thought it was beautiful and gave it to her. “Princess.”

After that, he walked away, leaving Zaya bewildered with the rose in her hand. She stared at his retreating back and then at the rose in her hand.

At the same time, Zenith waited in the alpha’s study room with Pyro, thankfully it didn’t take long for them because after ten minutes, the alpha showed up and he looked confused to see the two of them were there.

But then, he remembered that the royal beta was a magic user, who could create a portal.

“Is there something that I can help with?” alpha Tony asked eagerly, especially when he saw Zenith. He was worried for Dawn’s safety the first moment Zenith took her away, but seeing her right now, he was convinced that she was at the right hand.

If there was something that he was grateful for because of Julia was the fact that she was the one, who pushed Dawn toward the alpha from the north. He couldn’t imagine Dawn’s life if she was with Blake right now, because Emily looked like she was dying inside.

“Yes. There is something I need you to check,” Zenith replied, he told the other alpha to sit down, while he took his seat, he treated this place like his own and alpha Tony couldn’t even protest. He felt like he was only a mere omega in front of him, especially when he wore this serious expression on his face.

Zenith told him about he ships that docked in the harbor on the day that he visited the palace. It was confirmed that Blake was the one, who handled the matter in the pack, in his absence, thus it was no brainer that he was the one, who had received them.

But, because that night there was storm, probably there was not many people witnessed that and even if they did, there was little possibility they could confirm that the ships contain with those black magic users that came from dragon sect.

“I will look into it,” alpha Tony said, as he was deep in thought. He had told Dawn that he would do everything to make it up to her and she only said to help the king, thus he would do everything in his power to do so.

Zenith gave him a few pointers for him to handle the situation in this pack. “Is there something weird happened in this pack?”

Alpha Tony shook his head, but he furrowed his brows, contemplating for a while, before he said it. “There is a missing child in the pack.” He shook his head again. “I think the child must have run away somewhere and got lost, we have conducted a searching team to track him.”

“And who led this team?”

Alpha Tony flustered. “Blake.”

Pyro was speechless when he heard that. This man was… obtuse.
