Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: THE DAGGER
“I am sure the missing child must have something to do with the black magic and the people in the dragon sect,” Pyro said.

They just returned from the Moonlight pack and let alpha Tony knew about this. Black magic was forbidden for a reason, because it needed sacrifice to do it, just like how magic user used magic stone, these black magic users needed sacrifice to use their power.

You couldn’t find magic stone littered on the ground, but sure enough, you lived surrounded by people that you could use as the sacrifice to use your magic.

For now, alpha Tony had been warned about this, but Zenith was extremely displeased by how obtuse that man was. How could he be so naïve and impulsive? And yet, he had this beautiful and intelligent daughter, it was beyond him.

“Let Zander knew about all of this,” Zenith said, as he went back to the nursery room, where he found Celine was with Dawn, talking about trivial things, yet when she saw the alpha, the healer excused herself and went out of the bedroom.

At this moment, she felt sad, because of the death of Lance. She didn’t feel the connection with him anymore, but this was not how she wanted his life to end.

“You chased my friend away,” Dawn complained playfully, as she burped her baby. Zade looked sleepy after his stomach was full.

“Yeah, she knew when to leave.” Zenith took the baby from Dawn’s arms and rocked him to sleep, so his mate could stretch her body and get some rest. “Did he make trouble for you?”

Dawn giggled when she heard that. “Zade is a good boy, you are the one, who used to make trouble for me.” She leaned over and kissed his lips.

“Did I?” Zenith licked her lips, but before he could deepen the kiss Dawn had pulled away, unfortunately, Zenith was holding the baby, thus he couldn’t pull her back.

“How is it?” Dawn wanted to know how things went down because she knew their current situation didn’t look good.

With that, Zenith told her everything, including his brief visit to her former pack and how alpha Tony acted.

“I wonder how he could manage the pack all this time,” Zenith was still in disbelief on how naïve alpha Tony could be.

“No. Actually, if I thought about it again, it will be Jason, who would take the initiative on everything. My father will be the one, who had the last say, but it was the former beta Jason, who stirred him to the direction that he wanted.”

Zenith clamped his mouth, he wanted to say something ‘sweet’ about her father, but he held himself back, because no matter what he was still Dawn’s father.

“I know you wanted to curse at my father,” Dawn said teasingly when she saw the look on Zenith’s face. “It’s okay, I want to curse at him too.”

Dawn wouldn’t hold it against him if he did.

And then a few weeks passed.

There was one more child that went missing from the Moonlight pack and the situation was rather tense there, because they didn’t know the reason why the children kept missing. There was no trace of them.

Meanwhile, the people from the Holy Kingdom had become better, but it was only because Dawn wanted them to join the battle hunt.

“Probably I can put Asturi Stem on them to attract the monster, they can deal with those monsters.” Dawn commented, as she walked with Darius in the hallway, Zade was with the gamma and he was mesmerized by the little baby.

“I am sure they can be a good friend with each other, since in a way they are alike.”

Dawn laughed at that and life felt easy at this moment. She had started her training with Zenith and Darius volunteered to look after Zade, though there was no need for him to do that, since Yara was with them.

Yet, the gamma insisted.

And as Dawn’s training continued, the day of the battle hunt was around the corner, it was a lively morning, the wind was a little bit cold, but it didn’t deter the warriors and the knights to have this battle to kill as many monsters as they could find.

That day, Zaya received a gift from king Rowan, it was a small box with the color of black and purple, the color of this kingdom.

And when she opened the box, she found a black dagger with a letter. The handwriting looked very strong, as if the writer held the quill like he held the sword.

There was not much that was written there. It only explained that the dagger was made by the same steel and magic stone like the sword that he had.

Apparently, the sword that was made of magic stone had finished and king Rowan specifically asked the blacksmith to make this dagger from the same material for Zaya.

She was surprised to see this beautiful black dagger.

“It’s a beautiful dagger, princess,” Zaya’s personal maid said in awe. She stared at the dangerous thing in her hand.

“Yes, indeed.” Zaya liked this dagger too. She could feel the fire that hummed from it. She could feel the magic stone.

And with a flick of her finger, she created a fire alongside the blade and she chuckled to see it actually worked.

“Oh, this is very convenience,” Zaya said, but then she stopped herself from smiling and put back the dagger, frowning.

Today was the battle hunt, as they would go to Goffa mountain to hunt the monsters, there would be two group, the warriors and the shifters. Obviously, Zaya would go with her siblings, but not only that, Dawn would participate in this too.

She just gave birth a few months ago, but as a shifter, she healed pretty fast.

“Dawn!” Zaya went to Dawn and hug her, but her eyes wandered around.

“Zade is with Yara,” Dawn said.
