Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (10)
There were eleven. Twelve people including Jared, who surrounded Zenith, they were using their black magic on him, trying to extract the black magic that came from the alpha.

The unique black magic that Zenith carried was the purest form of black magic that Jared had been looking for.

Something this strong would allow him to eradicate all the shifters, it would kill all of their wolf spirit, which left them with nothing, but hollow.

For a shifter, who lost their wolf spirit, it was akin to lose yourself and one could die because of it. In short, not only Jared tried to exterminate the whole shifter, but in a long run, he was going to kill them all.

“No… we need to stop that,” Zaya said, she gritted her teeth and tried to get closer to their barrier, but even before she got too close, she was suffocated, as if all air inside her lungs was being sucked out of her body.

Pyro caught her hand and pulled her back.

“We can’t. We can’t get too close to them,” Pyro said, the two of them wouldn’t be able to fight against twelve strong black magic users.

This was a suck situation.

“There must be something that we can do, right?” Zaya stared at her hand, her palms were burned when she tried to break the protection shield.

Rowan tore his clothes and then wrapped it around her scalded hands. “Do you have any idea? I am not familiar with this magic thing.”

No. Zaya didn’t. She looked around her and the flames sky, she felt this ominous feeling, but of course, they couldn’t just stand there and watch how they tortured Zenith and do whatever they wanted with her big brother.

“Zaya!” Dawn called her the moment she saw her. She approached them and watched what Jared was doing to Zenith.

“Dawn, are you, okay?”

“I am fine.”

Zaya immediately filled her in about what happened and from what she told Dawn, the latter realized that she didn’t get the last piece of information from their previous life.

“There is a way, Zaya,” Dawn said, she was hesitated, but Zaya prodded her.

“This is not the time to hesitate, Dawn. Tell me what you have seen. How did you stop this madness in the previous life?”

Dawn pressed her lips, it was so hard to say it, but from the look in her eyes, Zaya knew almost immediately, as if she could read her well.

“It has something to do with me, right?” Zaya narrowed her eyes. “You don’t want to tell me because this will put me in danger?”

Dawn didn’t need to answer that, because her silent was already an answer for Zaya.

“What should I do? What should I do to stop this?” Zaya became even more frustrated because Dawn didn’t want to speak. “Damn it, Dawn! Speak now. Are you going to watch your mate being mauled like that?!”

With no other choice, Dawn started to tell her what she could do to stop this madness.

“Zenith was born with black magic, even though he is not a magic user, but you are a magic user, Zaya.” Dawn kept glancing toward Zenith’s direction, as she felt like her heart was gripped so tightly.

“Yes, but it’s not possible for me to fight twelve black magic users, Dawn. I would have done that, if I could.”

Dawn shook her head. “They tried to extract the black magic from Zenith, but what you had done was different.”

Zaya narrowed her eyes. “What had I done?” She understood that Dawn was telling her about the first life.

“You absorbed it.”

“You want me to absorb the black magic?” Zaya widened her eyes. “I absorbed it?” She shook her head. “It’s not possible, Dawn, no magic user could absorb black magic.”

They could extract it and claim it as theirs when it came to black magic, but absorbing the black magic straight off the source, was not something that a magic user was capable of doing it.

“A strong magic user happened to have done this in the past and I am sure you must know who magic user that I am talking about.”

Zaya didn’t need to think twice before she blurted out. “My mother.”

“Yes.” Dawn grabbed Zaya’s hand.

She explained how they carried a piece of their mother and because they were conceived in different situation, the power that they held were obviously different.

“How can I do that?” Zaya looked at her brother that was still fighting back. “I don’t know how.”

The wind was getting harsh and the heat from it made their skin was burning. Sweat trickled down from their forehead, as the temperature rose up.

They needed to leave this area quickly, or else, they were going to be burned into ashes.

“I don’t know, Zaya. That’s not something that I remembered.” Dawn shook her head. “I think that’s something that you need to remember on your own.”

Zaya felt defeated and from the look of it, she could see that Jared managed to extract some of the black magic out of Zenith’s body, it came as black wisp.

“How you saw me?” Zaya finally asked the crucial question. “How am I in your memory?”

Dawn didn’t want to answer this, but then her answer came as a whisper, as she replied to her question. “Dying.”

Zaya tried to laugh, as if it could ease the tension. “No wonder you are being very reluctant to tell me.”

Dawn gritted her teeth. She felt like crying. She wanted to save Zenith, but to ask for Zaya to sacrifice herself… she couldn’t even bring herself to mention it.

Fortunately, Zaya was smart enough to catch up to that.

“Well,” Zaya drawled. “Let’s try.”

Rowan stopped her when she was about to approach the shield again. “No,” he said sternly.

But, before a whole argumentation could ensue, all of sudden all the shifter was forced back to shift into their human form.
