Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 230

Chapter 230: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (22)
There must be a solution for this situation, but what? What she could do? What happened in the past?

Kill him.

The prophecy.

The prophecy that Zander believed about her killing Zenith, that was one thing that had not yet happened.

Dawn shuddered, she felt this another pain in her heart when she thought about that. Called her selfish, but she would choose to die even she had to kill Zenith with her own hands.

She couldn’t watch this…

“Dawn…?” Darius seemed to notice that Dawn was thinking of something. “What is it? What is in your mind?”

Dawn shook her head, she didn’t want even talk about this with Darius, because she didn’t want anyone to have that idea in their mind, especially when Darius also knew about the prophecy. She wouldn’t be able to stand it if he thought that it would be best for them to kill off Zenith to save all of the shifter kind.

She must be the most bitter and selfish person when she thought, she would rather to have the whole shifter to die rather than to kill her own mate.

Let them all die together if it had to come to that.

“Dawn?” Darius grew puzzled, the pain was unbearable, but he tried to stay focus on their current situation and obviously, Dawn knew something that he didn’t. “Did you get another memory? There is a way to stop this?”

“No.” The answer was so curt to make that sounded believable, but the pain only became worse and they couldn’t even think of anything else, but the pain and the battle between the black beast and the knights.

Meanwhile in the palace, the situation there was not particularly good, it was only getting worse as well, especially when Celine cried out loud.

“He is not breathing!” Celine was trembling in fear when it became even harder to keep Zade’s little lungs to work and now, he was not breathing at all, despite Celine’s crazy effort to keep him alive.

Zander immediately rushed to the bed and check on Zade’s pulse. He was still alive, but he wouldn’t for long if this kept going on.

“Fuck.”

Zander gritted his teeth, he didn’t know what to do to fix this whole situation. He wanted to rip his head so he could find a solution.

He was so dumb. How could he let thing escalated this far? How could he not see it? He couldn’t save his kingdom and his siblings and now their child was dying under his care.

“Hecate!” Zander shouted his name and the man immediately rushed toward him. “Do something!”

Hecate checked on the little one, but he was trembling too, he was afraid of the king because he looked like he was going to kill him if he told him the truth.

“There is nothing I could do, my king,” he said in small voice.

“What do you mean with that?!”

Zander was frustrated, he felt useless. All of the negative feelings that he felt the moment he stepped on the throne rushed back to him.

How useless he was and how he didn’t fit to be the king, how he couldn’t even save anyone. He was weak and stupid. He was nothing like his father.

People always said how great his father was and how he could solve all the problem and him? He created only problem and dumb mistake. He was not a planner, neither he was a fighter.

He lost his beast, he couldn’t even call himself as a shifter, but it was hypocrite of him to rule those shifters.

Zander balled his firsts tightly.

He was useless and stupid.

“This is beyond me, my king,” Hecate said politely and it seemed, he knew there was something off with Zander, the king was over the edge and if he pushed him a little bit, he was going to explode, therefore, he minded his own manner and the way he spoke.

The sight of Zander must be very terrifying for him to be willingly polite with the king.

“This is something that couldn’t be cure with herb or anything, this is the power beyond my knowledge,” Hecate said regretfully.

Zander didn’t say anything, he turned around and then left the room. He needed to calm himself down and shut down all the negative thoughts that kept plaguing his mind because it wouldn’t do any good on him.

It wouldn’t help him to make a decision or to decide what he would do or what he need to do next.

Zander closed the door behind him and closed his eyes to think of a solution. His mind wandered all of the possibilities that could happen and what he missed.

But then, it something crossed his mind.

He stared at the distance, as if there was something that intrigued him, but at the same time, he didn’t see anything in particular.

But then, slowly, he took off his mask. He let his face to be seen and just like usual, those masked men started to notice him.

They turned their heads toward him and approached him.

They were not walking, they were gliding, as if their body made of paper, but then they didn’t have body. They were akin to ghosts.

They were not even alive…

All this time, Zander was always ‘hiding’ from them, because he didn’t know what these creatures wanted from him and why he was the only person, who could see them, until those children with the mark came and said the same thing.

Zander didn’t want to talk about this even to Zenith, because, in his mind, it only added to his ‘weakness’.

He always thought that Zenith was the person, who suited to be the king, he fit more to be the king. Often time, he agreed with Zenith’s supporter that his twin brother was way more capable to be the king than he did.

“What do you want now?” Zander asked these ghosts…

All of them approached Zander now.
