Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: THE SIDE THAT HE WOULD CHOOSE
“Once you are done here, I want you to go with Pyro, Celine, Hecate and Zaya. Get out of this place and go back to the palace, okay?” Zenith was dead serious when he asked Dawn to leave the harbor.

He was grateful for her to be here, since they wouldn’t make it the snack attack without her and more so, she saved more warriors than she could imagine.

She knew how to make the snake became less aggressive so they could catch them without risking themselves of getting bitten, which would only add to more casualties.

If it were not for her, dealing with the poisonous snake and the sudden attack would be too much, but right now, Zenith only wanted her to be in a safe place.

“Do us a favor, okay? Let me fight with an easy mind to know that you are safe, don’t argue with me about this.” Zenith kissed her forehead and Dawn nodded.

“Please, be careful.” Dawn hugged him.

And after that, the alpha led his warriors to fight against the enemy, while Dawn cleaned up a few things and made sure the warriors were taken care of.

For the warriors, who had been poisoned, they couldn’t join the fight, but it didn’t really matter, since their number was not really significant.

“Are you ready to leave now?” Celine asked. “Is Hecate here?”

“No.” Dawn shook her head. “I have not seen him since an hour ago.”

Celine frowned. “I have been looking for him, but I couldn’t find him. The last time a warrior saw him was an hour ago, he went to one of the ships.”

“We need to get him.”

“I will tell Pyro and princess Zaya about this.”

Dawn then went to look for Hecate, there were three ships that were docked there and she saw him went out from one of them.

“Hecate, we need to go now!” Dawn shouted.

“I have been wanting to see a ship!” Hecate said happily, like a little child. “I have never seen a ship before or seeing the inside of a ship!”

“Okay, okay, but we need to leave now.”

Just like she remembered… this man was a little bit… unique on his own way…

“I also saw ten ships out there!”

“Ten ships?” Dawn furrowed her brows.

“Five ships over there.” Hecate pointed his finger at his left side. “And five ships there.” He directed his finger at the other side.”

“Are you sure, Hecate?”

“I have a good pair of eyes, you know.”

Dawn didn’t doubt that and actually, she believed him, which set off alarm in her mind because she didn’t think it was a good sign.

“Show me, Hecate.” Dawn rushed toward the ship where Hecate just came in and he followed her, showing her what he had seen.

“Look! There and there!”

Dawn gritted her teeth. She knew both model of the ships. The other ships from Marca El and the other one obviously Holy Kingdom. Dawn was familiar with it.

“Shit,” she cursed under her breathe.

“Are we going to see more ships?” Hecate asked eagerly.

“We need to go now, Hecate.” Dawn grabbed his hand and then rushed back to the camp, where in the distance, you could hear the battle had begun, howling and vicious roars filled the air, followed by the sickening smell of blood.

Dawn met with Pyro, Celine and Zaya and the royal beta took them back to the palace, where Dawn immediately told Zander about what she had discovered.

“I have sent more back up for Zenith,” Zander replied, but it didn’t ease his mind.

It would be a hard battle with Marca El against and Holy Kingdom were against them.

“Where are you going?” Zander asked Zaya when she was about to leave in hurry, though he could already expect what she was going to do.

“I am going to talk with king Rowan.”

King Rowan must have had a contact with his kingdom to send so many people, but the worse part was; they didn’t know whether he was on their side of their enemies.

Not only they had to fight against the people within their kingdom, but they had to fight against the Holy Kingdom too and if Marca El joined their ships, it would put them in a hard spot.

“What are you going to do? Convincing him to be on our side?” Zander read through her perfectly and since it came to this, there was no other way for Zaya to deny it.

“Yes,” she admitted it readily. “I am going to talk to him.”

“You can’t.”

“Zan, this is not time for this.” Zaya flicked her hair, she was royally annoyed with her brother. “I am not a child anymore, this is also my duty to protect our kingdom.”

Zander was not happy with this. She wanted to throw herself to that king to gain his support? This felt like a slap on the face for Zander, it only made him thinking that he was indeed incapable to be a ruler.

Not only he couldn’t shift into his beast, but he also unable to protect his little sister. It brought back the feeling when he was crowned as the king when he was only sixteen and had to go against those old wolves, who wanted to take him down and he was so helpless, or when he lost his mate… because of his incompetence.

“You jumped into a conclusion too fast, Zaya. Don’t you trust me that I can handle this?” Zander narrowed his eyes.

“I trust your judgment, Zan, but we need to see the reality of the situation.”

“You can’t talk to him.”

“You don’t know until you try.”

Zander shook his head. “He had gone with all of his knights to Moonlight pack. He left a few hours ago.”

All of them were surprised when they heard that. Wasn’t it obvious? He headed for the battle, but which side that he would choose?
