Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (17)
“Yes,” Dawn said. Her heart was torn apart to see Zenith in his beast form. Her mind brought her back to the night, when he annihilated the whole pack when he let his beast loose.

It went without saying that he could do the same thing right now, because whatever Jared and those filthy black magic users had done to him, it only made him stronger.

“Well, don’t be shy, you can share it with me,” Rowan said casually, he stared at the sword in his hand. It didn’t feel right, because this was not his sword. He liked his own sword better. “So? What is the plan?”

“We need to stop him,” Dawn replied, she turned her head and then looked at Rowan.

“Yes, I am aware of that. So, what is the plan?”

“The plan is to stop him and turn him into normal again.”

Rowan stared at Dawn for a little bit longer and then it dawned on him what she meant and he sighed deeply. “I really couldn’t talk with strategy with woman.” He then unsheathed his sword. “Fine. I will try to stop him. Don’t cry if I manage to kill him.”

“You will not be able to kill him,” Dawn said with conviction. “Both of us know.”

Rowan scoffed at the statement and then went ahead. It was not like he was going to argue with Dawn over something that petty.

And after he joined with the knights, they decided to back off and let the beast to kill all the people there, the magic users to be precise, since Jared was still trying to get a sense of control over Zenith.

It was funny to see how he didn’t know what to do and was equally surprised by the alpha’s outburst. Jared didn’t even have a plan B as a back up.

Because previously, he extracted the black magic from Zenith’s dead body, but right now he was still alive and obviously, fighting back when he stole some of his black magic.

The beast could be very petty and now, he aimed for the leader of the dragon sect. The magic users tried to stop the beast, but it was a futile attempt, since technically, their power came from the same source of magic, which was very ironic.

Dawn stared at the black beast that fought against Jared. That man was insane, he was powerful enough to be able to hold a fight against the black beast, but probably because he had consumed enough black magic from Zenith that was why he was so powerful right now.

The wind became more and more hot, it was suffocating and her dress stuck to her skin, which made her felt like she needed to peel it off if she wanted to take it off.

“Dawn!”

Dawn startled and saw Darius rushed toward her. He looked fine, it seemed, the venom from the snake had worn out and he looked like a brand new.

“What happened here? What did I miss?”

“A lot.” Dawn then gave him a brief summary about what was going on and how the situation could escalate to this point.

“I think it’s good if Zenith fought those black magic user, especially Jared,” Darius said, his voice laced with proudness, but he missed the big point here. “I think he can kill Jared and we can go back home quickly.”

Dawn shook her head. “Zenith is not in his right mind, after he killed Jared, who would guarantee that he wouldn’t kill us too?” She looked at Darius and watched how the realization finally came to her mind. “He had killed three knights in his beast form. He doesn’t see us as friend or foe, he only moves out of instinct and his main instinct right now is to kill.”

Darius pressed his lip. “Do you think his outburst will run it course after some time? I meant, I happened to see him lost control over his beast, but there is some point where he had this clarity and then regained his control back. Don’t you think we only need to wait?”

That made sense.

“Let’s see,” Dawn said, unsure. She felt her heart ached so bad to see how Zenith didn’t even remember himself at this moment. She wanted to reach to him, but then she remembered one more crucial thing that she overlooked, because there were a lot of things that was going on in her mind right now.

She was the one, who killed Zenith in their first life.

And the prophecy…

In a way, the prophecy was right. She killed Zenith.

Zenith tried to avoid the prophecy by taking another woman as his mate in their first life, but apparently, it didn’t work that way. Dawn still ended his life.

Would that be the same right now?

“Dawn… what do you think he is doing?” Darius asked when Jared let out a shrill scream when the beast managed to bite down his shoulder. They saw there were something so red shoot up like a shooting star that entered to his body. There were a lot of it and it came from the direction of the safe place.

“Oh no…” Dawn recognized that. “He took the soul of those who had been marked as the sacrificed.

It would enhance his power and with there were a lot of them, she was sure all the people inside the safe place had been marked as the sacrifice.

It clicked in Dawn’s mind now about why they would take the pain to save them in the first place when they appeared couldn’t care less of taking someone else’s lives, but as it turned out, they saved them as their back up power.

This was the reason why they saved them. Dawn explained it to Darius.

“That’s disgusting.”

But, little did Dawn know, her own son had the same mark too, along with a few other children who had been saved by Rye and Lucia from the West.
