Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 205

Chapter 205: AN OBLIGATION
“Two ships of Holy Kingdom have docked in the harbor,” the guard reported.

“Two? Are you sure it’s only two ships?” Pyro asked, he narrowed his eyes at the guard, because as far as they knew, there were ten ships in total, including the ships from Marca El. “Are there other ships that could be seen?”

“No. For now, there are only two ships that have been docked.”

In that case, they could draw a conclusion, it was either the rest of the ships would be there eventually, or there was something else that happened to those ships.

“We need to get Zenith back,” Zander said. “Let Sebastian to lead the attack.”

For now, that was the best option that they had, but currently, it was not feasible for them to do so because the battlefield was very chaotic, it was hard to tell what would happen there.

There were countless monsters that went through the portal from the north, as they attacked the pack house, but it was not enough. The shield apparently stronger than they thought and right now, Jared got the piece of memory that Dawn dreaded the most.

“Oh, I see… I see… so, that’s how it played out…” Jared muttered to himself, while Archie looked at him with confusion. He was not sure what he was talking about. “Call Blake over. I want to make a great offer that he will not be able to refuse.”

Archie didn’t know what was inside Jared’s mind, but he went away without making a fuss. Blake was staring at the shield at the front yard, glaring at the monsters that tried to break in.

He hated the fact that they were going to lose this battle again! How could Jared let something like this to happen?! Didn’t he prepare everything neatly? But, why the royal still managed to beat them up.

When he was aggravated by their current situation, Archie approached him and told him that he was needed.

“What? Did he want to surrender? I thought he is good with whatever he is doing.” Blake couldn’t help, but sneer. “I thought the dragon sect is great enough to defeat the royal.”

Archie’s eyes hardened when he heard that. “Watch what you said, you will not be able to be here and even have a way to exact your revenge if it’s not for us.” Archie smirked. “It’s rich coming from you, who contributed nothing, but complains.”

Blake had this urge to kill this man, but he knew that he wouldn’t be able to achieve that, since he was not strong enough for that.

With that shitty knowledge, he walked away from Archie to meet with Jared, he wanted to know what that black magic user wanted to talk about.

Meanwhile, the black magic users got off from the two ships that managed to dock in the harbor and the first thing they did was to attack Zenith’s camp and destroy their food supply, they wanted to make the moral of the warriors down.

Especially after they knew there were a few warriors, who had fallen sick because of the snakes. They were still recuperating, even though they were no longer in critical condition.

Inside that camp, there was the gamma. Darius just regained his consciousness and he got the report from what had happened while he was unconscious, especially with the black magic users that marched from the harbor.

“It will take some time for alpha Zenith and the rest of the people to reach the camp, they were too far to the pack house to be able to be here in time.”

Darius gritted his teeth, he pushed himself up from the bed. “We need to protect the camp until the alpha is here.”

“Gamma Darius, there is one more thing that you need to know,” the warrior added. “King Rowan is here, he is here with his knights.”

Right on cue, king Rowan entered the tent. “Oh, it’s nice to see you alive and well.”

Darius made a face. “I thought my tent is not a public area.”

“My bad.” King Rowan didn’t feel bad at all. “So, what is your plan?”

“Why should I let you know my plan?” Darius didn’t like this king was being nosy like this. His appearance here didn’t give him a reassurance either. “What are you doing here?”

King Rowan grinned, as he walked into the tent and made the frown on Darius’s face deepened.

“Well, let’s say that you are too weak to defend the camp, why don’t you give me the authority to give an order to the rest of the shifters here?”

“Why should I do that?” Darius didn’t feel good about the suggestion.

King Rowan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “What other option that you have?”

Meanwhile, inside the palace, after all of them heard about the two ships from the Holy Kingdom had docked at the harbor, Pyro and Zaya volunteered to bring around twenty warriors with them.

Pyro had used his power too much and he couldn’t bring more people than that.

“Don’t make that face,” Zaya chided her brother when Zander crossed his arms and didn’t say anything, as he watched her to make a quick preparation to go to the battlefield.

A day had passed and they didn’t even get enough sleep because of this.

“You didn’t even see my face, Za.” Zander was wearing his golden mask, there was no way she could tell what kind of expression he had currently.

“Oh, please. I know you.” Zaya approached Zander and took off his golden mask. “You need to stop hiding yourself, you know.”

“I am not hiding myself.”

“You run away from reality.”

Zander took the mask and put it on again. “I am not.”

Zaya sighed, she didn’t want to argue about this matter with him. Zander could be very stubborn. “I will go now. I will talk to king Rowan once I saw him.”

“Don’t be with him of obligation.”

“So, I can be with him out of love?”
