Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: HIS BRILLIANT MATE
“What snake is that?” Blake stared at the slither thing in Jared’s hand.

This black magic user had been in this pack ever since they returned from their failed attempt to overthrown the king, while Vemion had returned to the west.

“Poisonous snake.”

This man had been nurturing these snakes since a month ago and now he used his black magic, creating a portal to send them somewhere.

“They are beautiful, aren’t they?” Jared was mesmerized by the snake in his hand, his eyes lit up and he looked like he was going to kiss each of them, which made Blake’s stomach churned.

Ever since he was with these black magic users, he had been having a hard time to hold himself back from vomiting.

They were simply disgusting in the worse possible way.

“So, you are waiting for a month to nurture that snake?” Blake guessed. He had this room full of snake. He didn’t want to step inside this room, unless he was being called, just like right now.

Jared gave him a disdain look, but there was this smile on his lips to cover his disgust on him. “You are very brilliant.”

It sounded like a mocking rather than a compliment.

“What are you going to do now?” Blake leaned his body against the doorframe, his brows would be forever furrowed when she saw the slithering snakes. He felt like they were crawling on his skin.

“You are going to attack at Dawn… Dawn…” Jared smirked. “Don’t you think that’s beautiful name? You have been waiting to meet with her, right? So, do I.”

Blake narrowed his eyes, he didn’t like when this man talked about Dawn, as if he knew her. “She is mine,” Blake growled. “You are not going to meet with her or even touch her without my permission.”

Jared laughed at that. He liked this man passion for the mate that he had betrayed, he kept him by his side because his rage was very entertaining. His delusion was funny when he thought he could kill the alpha and get his mate back as long as the alpha was no longer in the picture.

But on top of that, he had more plan for him. He was still useful though…

“Alright.” Jared nodded sagely. “She is yours. She is your mate, of course, you will be very mad if someone touched her and even make her pregnant.”

Blake growled dangerously at him, but Jared simply reminded him of the task that he had to do once it was dawn.

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

Dawn was biting her nails, while thinking of the antidote of the poisonous snake. The people who had been bitten would die within a few hours, that was all the information that she could get after she wrecking her brain.

What a useless detail… it only made her became even more nervous.

Hecate was called to come and also Zaya, together they worked on how to figure out the way out of this mess.

Zaya added more protection on the shield that Pyro had created, she grimaced to see the snake that slithered on the shield, she could feel them crawling on her skin.

“The bleeding doesn’t stop.” Celine pressed her lips, she tried to stop the bleeding when the blisters popped, but his healing power was useless and the shifter’s healing ability didn’t work.

“Here, use this. It can stop the bleeding.” Hecate took out something from his box that he carried with him. It was a white bottle with black powder in it. He handed it over to Celine. “Be careful with my baby, it’s expensive.”

Celine would have rolled her eyes if this was in different situation, but she immediately took the bottle and poured it on the bleeding spot. The bleeding was ceasing down, but it didn’t stop.

“The poisonous snake… the poisonous snake… Red Venom.” Dawn chanted it like a pray. She then grabbed the jar and pulled out the snake from there, which made Zaya startled.

“What are you doing? Put it down!” Zaya approached Dawn, but she shook her head. Thankfully, Zenith was not inside the tent. He was out there, talking with Pyro about something.

It was only three hours before dawn.

“The antidote of the snake is… the snake itself.” Dawn finally remembered that last piece of her memory. “That’s right…”

“Do you remember?” Zaya could see the relief on Dawn’s expression when the realization came to her.

“Yes, I remembered.” Dawn looked at the snake, she then took a bowl and used it to extract the venom from the snake.

The reason why she named the snake as red venom was because the venom of this snake was the color of red.

And just like Zenith’s poison, it was also the case where poison against poison…

“Hecate! I need something from your medicinal herbs!” Dawn then listed ten medicinal herbs that he needed to get from the palace.

“Those babies are expensive!” He screeched, but the look on Dawn’s eyes made him running away from the tent and looked for Pyro to take him back to the palace, because he needed to get a few things. “Your mate is scary,” he said before he stepped into the portal.

Zenith then went to the tent and saw Dawn was giving an order to a few warriors there in front of Darius’s tent.

Her little expression looked very serious and she talked rapidly, while his warriors listened to her closely, as if they got an order from their alpha.

It might be crazy for Zenith to think this way, but he liked to see when Dawn took charge on his people. She looked… radiant.

She could handle the warriors and the situation really well. This version of her was something that he didn’t see in their first life.

Dawn looked so alive. She looked like she could go through everything that was hurled toward her direction.

A smile made its way on Zenith’s lips, as he stared at his mate proudly.
