Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT
Blake stared at the palace, that building looked so tiny when you looked at it from afar. His eyes dilated with malice. He was ready.

He couldn’t care less, who was sitting on the throne right now, just like how much he cared about his mate and son, which he had none.

It was confirmed that alpha Tony, Emily and Arren had fled from the pack before the attack. Yet, it didn’t matter, because right now Moonlight pack was under his control, or to be exact… the pack was under Jared’s control.

“We are going to attack once the battle hunter began,” Archie informed Blake.

From afar, they could see the moon faded, as the sky gradually turned bright. This was a beautiful sight to see, but then the bright day would turn into a nightmare once the black magic users invaded the capital city.

It was the intention of the west to take down king Zander from his throne. Vemion’s people had been killed and all of his spies had been discovered, thus there was no other option for him, but to attack head on like this, especially when he got the help from the dragon sect.

They had to move quickly, lest king Zander managed to get the support from King Rowan. This was the best opportunity.

“Let’s go,” Blake said.

And with that, they marched forward.

They arrived at the capital city just in time when they heard the horn blared from the distance away, indicating the battle hunt had begun.

But that was also the signal for them to attack.

Blake shifted into his beast and then attacked the royal warriors, who guarded the gates. Went through the entrance and let all the black magic users to enter the city.

“Inform the palace! We are under attack!” One of the warriors sent someone to rush toward the palace, they used the hawk to deliver the massage, but all of their efforts were in vain when the black magic users easily tackled the messengers down.

It was a plaything for them.

That was it. The city would go down even before the king could realize it.

It didn’t take long before they managed to penetrate the first layer of the security and then the second. By the time the blazing light of the sun illuminated the dark corner of the city, the black magic users had managed to obliterate all the warriors that hindered their way.

They reached the palace within less than two hours and dismantled the protection there too. Not only royal warriors, but also the protection magic that surrounded the palace.

This must be put by the royal beta, since he was a magic user.

Dawn.

That was the only name in Blake’s head when he finally stepped foot inside the palace again. His first instinct was to find her. He would take her away from this mess, he would take her back to the pack, where they could finally be happy together.

They could start anew.

This time, Blake would make things right for her.

“Wait, something is off,” Archie said. He narrowed his eyes and looked around him. There was something not right.

They supposed to meet with the people from the Holy Kingdom.

“Where is elder Isaac?” Archie looked around. Those people from the Holy Kingdom should have met him here by now, but he couldn’t see any of them.

“There is nothing to be worried.” Blake shifted into his human form. “That bastard of the king must have taken them to Goffa mountain for the stupid hunt.”

It was the irony of the situation. They went off to hunt the monster when in reality, it was them, who were being hunted.

Archie fell silent. He didn’t think that was the case.

“Barricade the palace!” Archie ordered once they managed to take down the palace. The people here were under his mercy now.

And now by noon, they succeeded occupying the palace.

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

King Rowan could feel it, there was something not right about this whole situation. The battle hunt was too quiet.

“There is something not right.” King Rowan stopped his knights after they managed to kill Five monsters in the span of five hours.

“What is it?” Addie asked. He raised his hand to stop the knights from advancing.

“This is too quiet.”

“What do you mean it is quiet?” Addie frowned. He looked around and this mountain was anything, but quiet.

In the background, boisterous laughter of the knights echoed in the air, startled the birds from the branches they perched, while vicious growl from the monsters added to the eeriness when they beheaded them.

“We have not yet encountered the shifters.”

Addie tilted his head. He was thinking about it for a while. “Yeah. We have not yet encountered any of them.” But, he had a reasonable reason for that. “They knew this place like the back of their hand, I am sure they are currently looking somewhere else, that’s why we didn’t cross path with them. This mountain is very vast, after all.”

“No.” King Rowan couldn’t put his finger at this nagging feeling. He thought about it for a while and made the decision. “We will return.”

“Are you sure?” Addie looked around him. “The knights are happy, you will dampen their mood if we have to return now.”

However, one look from the king and Addie relented. He shouldn’t have questioned the king’s decision in the first place.

“Alright.”

With that, they went back to the meeting point, where dozen of tents had spread around the vast area, but they couldn’t see anyone there.

Not a single soul.

“What the hell is going on here!?” Addie was in disbelief to see the tents were empty, this place had been abandoned. “What the meaning of this?”

There should be royal warriors, who stood on guard around this meeting point, but the fact it was left unsupervised made the alarm went off in Rowan’s mind.

“Return to the palace!” he said grimly.
