Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: OVERSTAY HIS WELCOME
“Mamama…. Mmama…” Zade babbled and then giggled when he saw his mother, he stretched out his arms toward her, wriggling his small body from Yara’s embrace. The little one was seven months now and he had recognized most of the people around him, especially his mother.

“Miss me, baby?” Dawn cooed her baby, she carried him in her arms and kissed the tip of his little nose. He smelled so good. Dawn felt like she wanted to kiss him all the time. “Are you being good?”

Zade giggled and Yara reported everything that he had done the whole day. Because Dawn was busy with a few things related to poison with Hecate, she had to leave her baby and it didn’t feel good for her actually, but then it was necessary.

Zenith had given her an option to return to the north with Zade and she could stay out of it, but Dawn wouldn’t be able to sit down and do nothing when she knew there was something she could do to help with this upcoming battle.

Her knowledge on poison art was a crucial point for them and it could turn the table against the black magic users.

People from the Holy Kingdom still gave them a hard time.

But not only that, Dawn didn’t want to return because she didn’t want to stuck with her father and Emily. The thought of having them around didn’t make her feel good.

They needed to snatch Moonlight pack back, so the two of them could return, which meant, Dawn didn’t need to see them again.

“I will take a walk with Zade,” Dawn said. “You can leave, Yara. Thank you.”

“You are very much welcome, luna.” Yara then left.

Dawn used to walk in the garden with Zade in her arms, while her four warriors followed her. They gave her space and most of the time, she forgot that they were around, because they made their presence unnoticed as much as possible.

As Dawn walked, she met with Celine and Zaya, who immediately approached her, happy to see Zade more than her, actually.

“Owh, look at my cute little nephew!” Zaya cooed and snatched him from Dawn’s arms, which left her speechless, she only got a few moment with her baby before he was being snatched away. There was time when Zander ‘kidnapped’ Zade too.

“You need to make a baby on your own, you know,” Dawn said with amusement in her voice, as she watched how Zaya made a face.

“I can’t get pregnant on my own.”

Dawn raised her brows. “I saw you had a date two days ago with the king.”

Zaya whipped her head at her. “I didn’t.” Her answer was too short and quick for it to be believable.

“Sneaking out at night…” Dawn drawled and Celine giggled beside her.

“I need to look out the city, okay…” Zaya looked a little bit panic when she asked Dawn to stop before anyone could hear her. “You didn’t tell anyone, right? My brothers didn’t know, right?”

Dawn laughed. “Don’t worry. If your brother knew, you would know that.”

She was right, there was no way Zander and Zenith would be this calm if they knew that their only sister sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the night with king Rowan.

It was not that they disliked the king, but king Rowan’s demand to have Zaya’s hand in marriage in order for him to help them in this battle, rubbed them in the wrong way.

However, seeing this progress, it seemed, Zander had made the wrong choice not to give up Zaya, since the latter had fallen for the other king, though she didn’t want to admit it yet.

“So, tell me what were you doing sneaking around like that?” Dawn nudged Zade’s cheek, the baby was happy to see Zaya, because she would entertain him with magic.

“Gather an information,” Zaya replied. She had been gathering information from people in the city, especially from the merchant.

“And you need the king to be what? A bodyguard?” Celine didn’t miss the opportunity to tease her too.

In the end, Dawn and Celine teamed up to make Zaya admitted that she liked the king and stopped pretending that she didn’t.

“I don’t like him.” Zaya huffed, she was annoyed with them, but she was also blushing at the same time, thus it was not hard to tell that she was only being stubborn right now.

“I don’t know that you don’t like me.”

Suddenly there was this hoarse voice that they could hear from behind them and Zaya didn’t need to turn around to know that was the king.

“Okay, I think it’s time for us to leave,” Dawn chuckled.

“You know that he is here, right?” Zaya looked at the two of them in disbelief.

“I didn’t know.” Celine feigned innocent face. She was a healer, she might not know that king Rowan was around, but Zaya couldn’t say the same to Dawn, since she was a shifter and with her keen senses, she would have known that king Rowan was nearby.

“Bye, Za…” Dawn said, she kissed her cheek, she then got Zade back from Zaya’s arms and together with Celine they walked away.

“So?” king Rowan approached her.

“What?” Zaya shrieked. “I was saying the truth. I don’t like you.”

“Hm.” King Rowan nodded his head, he crossed his arms in front of his chest. “You didn’t say that when we shared a kiss.”

Zaya’s eyes widened, she created a shield around her so the king wouldn’t be able to get to her. “That’s a mistake, okay. I told you that’s a mistake!”

After saying that, she ran away, gritting her teeth with her face was as red as her auburn hair, while the king was smiling at her retreating back.

He had overstayed his welcome in this continent, but in his defense, he couldn’t get out of here due to the harbor was being under the control of the enemy.
