Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: A REMINDER
King Rowan looked at Zander in the eyes, he looked so calm when he delivered the heavy words, yet the other king was unfazed.

“You are too fast to judge the outcome of it.” Zander took a step closer toward king Rowan. “A fight in a battlefield is easier than the one behind the close door, because you didn’t know what kind of surprise that would be waiting for you. In the battlefield, your option is only two; whether you lived, or you died, but in this kind of battle, the options are vast and vary.”

Zander made this conversation very light and easy, as if they were talking about the weather or the alcohol that they preferred for a party.

“I am not an easy target king Rowan.” Zander smiled behind his golden mask, but the other king could see that from his eyes. “When you played with your sword, I have become the king of this continent.” He reminded him that he was the youngest king in the history.

Well, it was not something that Zander enjoyed, but obviously, something that he would brag about.

“When you ruled your group of knights, I ruled the entire kingdom.” Zander’s voice was like a breeze of wind. “Make your choice carefully, king Rowan.”

After saying that, Zander walked away and he met with Addie, Rowan’s right hand. The knight nodded at him politely and then approached his king.

“What you got?”

They watched Zander’s retreating back, before he disappeared at the corner, only then Addie told him everything that he had learned after he gathered the information with so much difficulty.

He told him about the poison on Aurel’s body and how king Zander lured their enemy in, ‘invited’ them to his palace only to be annihilated in the end. Some of the magic users died and some managed to get away.

“Who had made the poison?”

“Apparently princess Dawn, prince Zenith’s mate, is very skill with poison.”

King Rowan touched his chin, he nodded, as he was deep in thought. “Women in this continent are very interesting.”

Back in his continent, their women tended to very docile, they were there to tend to their men. They would do whatever their men said.

Therefore, it intrigued Rowan when he saw the fire in Zaya’s eyes and the way she rejected his request. Because you wouldn’t get any rejection from the women from his continent the moment you owed them.

She was interesting. The more she rejected him, the more he wanted her.

“What are you going to do now?” Addie asked, as he jogged beside the king. “Where are you going?”

“I will write to Marca El continent.”

“What for?”

Rowan didn’t explain about that.

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

After the meeting with Zander and the other warrior, Zenith returned to his bedroom with Dawn very late. His mate had fallen asleep, seemingly exhausted after a long day. He cleaned himself up and then kissed her forehead before he headed toward the nursery room and found his son was playing alone.

He stuffed his little fist into his mouth and babbled.

Zade usually would wake up around this hour and Zenith wouldn’t miss a moment to accompany his son, until he fell asleep again, as much as he could.

“Hm, it’s a tiring day.” Zenith pulled his little hand from his mouth and Zade made noise. “Yeah, bad people out there. A lot of them. Hm. I think so…” Zande would reply on his own.

And the conversation kept going on for an hour or so, until the baby was tired of listening to his father’s vent and fell asleep.

Only when Zade had fallen asleep, Zenith returned to his bedroom and cuddle his mate. He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes.

The next day, the mess of what happened yesterday could be seen clearly under the bright light of the sun.

And for the next three months everything went uneventful, as they prepared for the real battle against the west.

Right now, Moonlight pack was under Vemion’s grasp and the people from the dragon sect. The Holy Kingdoms were in uproar because their elders were held as captive, people there didn’t believe that Elder Rio and Elder Isaac were involved in black magic, even when it had been proven. They demanded for the people from the Holy Kingdom to be returned.

But the problem was; the Moonlight pack’s harbor was not accessible, they couldn’t go out or in. All the trades were shutting down and the people trapped inside the Ogregon continent.

Even though they could go out, there was a high price that was demanded on them to be able to cross the territory of the Moonlight pack.

The situation was put in halt, but obviously it wouldn’t be for long, since Zander and Zenith had been concocting their next step.

The bad news was; the magic users from the dragon sect didn’t really need magic stone, because they used black magic, all they needed was a sacrifice, every now and then. Therefore, the situation in Moonlight pack was rather frightening.

Emily heard about all of the news from the warriors or the pack member, or from the gossip that she got from the omegas. She acclimated quickly with the people in the pack, she was a social butterfly to begin with.

Meanwhile, her father had been discussing something important with beta Axel. She didn’t know what they were talking about.

And like before, alpha Tony ignored her all the time. He saved her and Arren’s lives by taking them away from Moonlight pack, fled to the north, but he was still nor warming up to her or his grandson.

“Oh, Arren is so cute!” One of the omegas cooed on the little boy. He started walking now and he would follow his mother everywhere. “I think he will be a good friend to luna’s child.”

Emily smiled softly. “I am sure the two of them will be a good friend, they are cousin after all.”
