Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 189

Chapter 189: BACKLASH
Dawn frowned at the gamma, who was munching on his jerky. He should be with Zenith, right?

“There is nothing I can do in there, they handled everything and talked about a few difficult things. I went to the kitchen, but there was no food there. Forgot that the omegas had been evacuated before.”

The gamma was not happy because there was nothing he could eat and Dawn could only shake his head, she then went to the throne room, where she expected to see Zenith and Zander.

Along the way, she watched how the royal warriors easily took down the people from dragon sect. She was sure that these people were black magic users.

As she walked, she burned incenses to neutralize the rancid smell in the air, so her poison that came from Aurel could be null.

However, before she could reach the throne room, she heard a low, dangerous growl and then there was this explosion came from the room.

A few warriors, who were there were taken off guard, as their bodies were thrown away because of the impact.

Dawn knelt down and some of the warriors surrounded her to protect her for the impending danger, as she covered her ears, which painfully ringing.

“Wh- what is going on?” Dawn stuttered, she groaned when one of the warriors asked whether she was alright. She nodded, trying to get her bearing. “What happened?”

“We don’t know, luna, we will check. Please, stay here.”

Dawn lifted her head and then saw the aftermath of the explosion, it almost like there was a backlash from a magic user. There was a huge hole on the wall and a few poles and walls were collapsed, the tiles were destroyed.

“Zenith…?” Dread flooded her veins when she realized something might happen to her mate. She immediately stood up and rushed toward the throne room, ignoring the warning from the warriors. “Zenith!”

The dust was still in the air, obscured her vision and this only added the dreadful though in her mind, her blood rushed in her veins, as her heart sped up.

“Zenith!” Dawn was trembling. She could feel her tears threatened to spill. “ZENITH WHERE ARE YOU?!” She looked for her mate frantically, as a few warriors came with her, telling her to stay behind and they would let her know about what happened, but Dawn didn’t want to listen to them.

The throne room looked so bad, she could see there was a huge hole at the ceiling, which allowed her to see the red sky, as the sun was almost set.

The rubbles and ruins were on the floor and also a huge chunk of what looked like part of the ceiling.

Dawn was ready to turn all the rocks upside down when she felt someone hugged her from behind and his scent registered to her senses.

“What are you doing here?!” Zenith’s face was so dark, he didn’t let Dawn to speak before he took her out of the room, away from the dangerous area that looked like there were more things to collapse. “If you saw something like that, you have to run away not to come closer, do you understand me?!”

Zenith was too worry, he didn’t even realize that he was shouting at her.

The place was not safe, but instead of staying away from that, Dawn was standing at the center of it and the sight of her there nearly gave Zenith a heart attack.

On the other hand, Dawn couldn’t care less with his nagging, she threw herself to him and hug him tightly, as she cried. The fright left her speechless. She was scared that Zenith was under the rubbles.

“You scared me…” Dawn sobbed against his chest and this made Zenith realized he was not the only one, was scared for their mate’s safety.

“Don’t do that again,” Zenith said as he hugged Dawn tightly, she was trembling, crying against his chest. “Don’t put yourself in harm way, do you understand?”

Dawn didn’t answer that, instead she hugged him a little bit tighter and relished with the fact that he comforting her, caressed her back and kissed her forehead.

It took a while before Dawn finally calmed down. “What happened?” She asked, she didn’t realize that Zenith had taken her away from the throne room, he must have done that when she was crying, as she clung onto him like a monkey.

“We lost Vemion and two of the black magic users with him. it seemed, the poison is not strong enough to take them down, but it’s enough to ruin their magic, hence the backlash.” Zenith wiped her tears. Her nose and eyes had turned red. She looked like a rabbit and he wanted to eat her.

“If the two of them were strong enough to resist the poison, I think they could be someone important in the sect.”

“They could be the leader.”

Dawn agreed with that. “What about Zander? Is he alright?”

“He got a few scratches and a healer tended to him.”

In the previous life, she used this same poison to fight against the people from the Holy Kingdom. Her memories slowly returned back to her, but she still couldn’t remember about the sect, it was only a few glimpses of some gut wrenching events, where she was fighting or concocted poison.

“Blake was there.” Zenith broke the silent.

“I expected that,” Dawn said. They got the report about alpha Tony, Emily and her baby had reached the north. They were safe.

This was within their plan, since they had expected this attack and the last resort for alpha Tony to escape the annihilation, since he must be aware that Blake and whoever people that he supported would come to him and kill him in order to take the Moonlight pack.

“Let’s get our baby,” Dawn said, she was worried about Zade, though he was in a safe place.

With that, the two of them shifted into their beasts.
