Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (2)
Darius escaped death only a by a sheer of luck, because he did what Dawn told him to do without even thinking about it. It was funny how his habit of not thinking thing twice could save his life.

However, it did not end there, because the black beast touched the ground and then immediately turned around, it was obvious that Darius was his next target.

“Zen! Seriously! Couldn’t you remember me?! Damn it!” Darius scrambled to his feet, he put his hands out, telling him random thing to make the alpha remembered about him. “I am your sweet gamma, okay?! I didn’t mean to push her! I swear!”

However, the black beast didn’t seem to interest with whatever explanation that he was trying to blurt out, as he charged forward with the intention of killing him off.

Seeing this, Dawn immediately got on her feet and chased after the beast as well. Thankfully, Dawn was closer to Darius and manage to reach him.

She didn’t know what she was thinking when she put herself between Darius and the black beast. If Dawn was wrong and Zenith completely forget about her, it only meant, she would die in the hand of her mate.

However, the black beast indeed stopped and then let out the most deafening roar that they had ever heard. Dawn and Darius pressed their palms against their ears, because they were the closest to the beast.

“What the fuck!” Darius growled. He felt his ears were ringing painfully and the pain from unable to shift to his beast only intensified, it didn’t help with his situation at all, as he knelt down and whimpered.

Dawn could feel the discomfort for not being able to shift into her beast became more unbearable.

What was going on?

However, they were not the only one that felt that way, because all the shifters felt the same thing, even those who were not aware of the battle that was going on in the moonlight pack, or the shifters, who were in different continent.

They could all feel the pain, including the young shifters, who had not yet awakened their beast spirit.

Yara rushed toward the throne room just an hour before the pain started and she told the king about Zade’s weird condition, where the baby breathed heavily and Celine tried to heal him because his little lungs didn’t work.

“What do you mean?!” Zander immediately rushed toward the nursery room, where he saw how desperate Celine was to keep the little boy to breathe. “What is going on here, Celine?!”

“I am not sure,” Celine said, she was frustrated and half sobbing at this point, the light from her hands seeped through Zade’s chest. “I think he is in so much pain and because he is too young, his little body can’t bear the pain.”

Lucia and Rye followed behind them and heard what happened.

“I will go for a while,” Lucia said, she was worried about the children that she brought with her, because they had the same mark just like Zander and she was afraid something like this might happen to them as well.

Zander and Rye didn’t stop her, but Rye chose to stay in the room, as he watched Celine tried to save Zade desperately.

Right at the same time, in the woods that separated the Moonlight pack and the capital city, Zaya finally regained her consciousness, she pulled the rein of the horse that Pyro was riding and this startled the royal beta.

“Zaya!” Pyro shouted, as he held her closely, afraid that they would fall from the horse back. “What do you think you are doing?!”

“We need to go back,” Zaya said, she gritted her teeth. Because her back was against Pyro, he couldn’t see how her eyes were not the color of blue, but instead it was black. Yes. She had black color of eyes.

Her expression was hardened, as if she knew what she needed to do right now and she was in hurry, because she could be so late to save anyone.

Pyro took the rein of the horse from Zaya’s hand and then made the horse to run faster. He didn’t know what was going on, but he knew something didn’t look good.

And because the two of them were not shifters, they didn’t know that half an hour later, all of the shifters had been subdued to an excruciating pain.

Back in the palace, Celine was trying to keep Zade alive, because his lungs were collapsing and because Zander had lost his beast long ago, he didn’t feel the pain, but Rye and Yara did.

Both of them fell on their knees and screamed in pain, as the discomfort that they felt because they couldn’t shift into their beast intensified thousand times and they felt something weighing down their chest.

“What is going on?” Zander approached Yara and she only cried, saying that she was in so much pain. “Celine!”

“I can’t,” Celine said, she couldn’t stop her treatment to Zade, just in case his condition got even worst.

“Damn it!”

Zander rushed away and then found Hecate, he dragged him to come with him and tell him to do something about this.

“What should I do?!” Hecate grumbled, but he knelt down and checked on Yara and Rye. “I think something is wrong with their wolf spirit, not with their body. They felt the pain because of that.”

“Can’t you do something?”

“I can put them to sleep.” Hecate shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “But, I need to use my precious baby to put them to sleep.” Hecate immediately changed his tone when he saw the rage in Zander’s face. “Fine, fine. I will get it.”

Zander checked the other warriors and from the look of it, they were under the same excruciating pain as well, all of them fell on their knees.

They said the pain was akin to someone just ripped their chest opened and it was the same pain that Zander felt when he lost his beast.
