Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 195

Chapter 195: NAGGING FEELING
“I can’t understand this, Hecate,” Dawn said. Since, Zenith left for Moonlight pack a week ago, she had been spending her time with Hecate and Celine to breakdown the concoction for Zenith.

They trusted Hecate enough to tell him about Zenith and Zander’s condition, no, actually it was Dawn, who trusted him because they were a good friend in their past life, though Hecate didn’t seem to remember any of that, not like the man named Jared.

Yes, they finally got the confirmation of the leader’s name of the dragon sect and what they were up to.

Their main goal was to eradicate shifters from this realm, as they saw the shifter as an abomination, since they were not quite human, but not an animal. Their existence alone was a mistake, a sin and people from dragon sect believed it was their duty to kill them all and purify this realm from that sin.

“How could they use poison to control Zenith’s beast… this kind of poison should have killed him.”

On the other hand, Dawn couldn’t let go with the fact that the concoction Aurel gave to Zenith all these years was a slow acting poison. Zenith should have felt the side effect of it years ago, but it seemed, his body had grown accustomed to that.

Still, Dawn thought there was more into it.

“I am not sure…” Hecate replied, as he cleaned up an antler carefully, he treated all the medicinal herbs as his babies, he didn’t even let Celine to touch them, even though she should be his supervisor. “But, if it didn’t give him a side effect, you shouldn’t be bothered with it, right?”

Dawn fell silent. She should feel that way, but she didn’t. There was this nagging feeling in her heart that said there was something more into it, but she couldn’t place her finger on it.

Celine reassured Dawn that Zenith would be fine. “It has been years he consumed that and there is no side effect at all, maybe his body built differently. Sometimes, there are a few things that you couldn’t explain with logic. An anomaly.”

Dawn didn’t want Zenith to drink the concoction, but she couldn’t stop him, because it helped him and she didn’t have any base for Zenith to not drink it anymore, aside from this nagging feeling.

“I am going with you the next time you have to see him.” Dawn felt unease.

“You need to talk about that to the king, Dawn. I couldn’t say whether you can come or not.” Celine understood Dawn’s feeling. She had been very restless ever since Zenith left.

Her emotions were all over the places and she became more and more obsessed with this concoction that Aurel had been giving to Zenith all these years.

“Sure.”

And without waiting for long, that evening, Dawn went to see Zander, but she was not alone, she came with Zade too.

Of course, the king was happy to see his nephew and that was a good point for Dawn.

“Are you going to bribe me with my nephew’s cuteness?” Zander asked, he put Zade on his lap, as he let him played with his golden mask.

Dawn had told him about her intention to come here, she wanted to go with Celine to the Moonlight pack, so she could see Zenith.

“Why? I miss him. Why can’t I see my mate?” Dawn said innocently.

“That area is dangerous, Dawn. Zenith will kill me if I allowed you to come.”

“I will not be long, Pyro will create a portal and I will stay with him for a while before I returned with Celine, what is so hard about that?” Dawn looked at Pyro. “It doesn’t a bother for you if you have to take one more people through the portal, right?”

Pyro frowned at her, he gave her a look, as if saying that he didn’t want to get involved in this.

“Dawn, Zenith will not be happy to see you there.”

“Let him say it to my face that he is not happy to see me.”

Zander and Pyro grimaced, obviously, Zenith wouldn’t say anything like that, but his letter would be so harsh to read later on.

But in the end, Zander relented after a long argumentation. “Fine. But, you will not stay there for long. You will return with Celine.”

“Got it!” Dawn said cheerfully. She went over and hugged Zander. “Thank you.”

Sometimes, it was hard to see Zander, because he looked like Zenith a lot and she missed him so much. Zade also looked confused whenever he saw Zander and called him Dada.

“Fine. But, you need to protect me from my brother’s wrath, okay? If he is going to kill me, you need to jump in and save my ass.”

Dawn laughed when she heard that. “I think we have gotten over that stupid prophecy, no?”

Zander didn’t say anything about that, just like how Dawn couldn’t let go with the fact that the concoction that Zenith had been drinking was actually a slow acting poison, Zander couldn’t let go with the prophecy, it was always on the back of his mind.

And despite his easy going nature and how much he appreciated everything Dawn had done for Zenith, he always kept his eyes on her. Just a precaution…

And three weeks later, Dawn went to Moonlight pack with Pyro and Celine. The royal beta created a portal to get straight to Zenith’s tent.

Their camp was near the harbor and for the first time in her life, Dawn saw the harbor was almost empty, there was no activity there, only a few ships that were docked.

“Why did you bring my mate here?” Zenith immediately approached Dawn and hugged her, despite his protest that they brought her here, he hugged and kissed her without holding back.

“Should we come back later?” Celine blushed to see how Zenith kissed Dawn, while Pyro had turned his head, avoiding the sight.
