Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 235

Chapter 235: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (27)
With how crazy the sky was and how it looked like it was in eternal flames, they didn’t know whether it was night or day or even how many days they had been in this battle.

They were tired, exhausted and the end of the battle was not even near. They didn’t know when it would end if it would end at all.

Things didn’t become better, if anything, it kept getting worse. When they thought it wouldn’t get any worse, the universe proved them wrong and showed how it could escalate into the night of terror.

The worse part came when they started to see the people that they knew. The knight who died during the war, the people that dear to them, who left them long time ago, this didn’t look good at all to say the least.

And Rowan saw his father…

The previous king had a huge wound on his chest, the same spot where Rowan carved his heart out. He killed the previous king, his own father and also two of his older brothers, who would become the successor of her father.

He was third in line for the throne, but he killed them all to be the king.

He pressed his lips. “Shit. Not this.” He grunted. He hated to see his father again. He didn’t enjoy this sight at all. “I killed you once, do you think I will not kill you twice or thrice?” Venom on the tip of his tongue, as he swung his sword and cut the head of the previous king and kicked him back to the craters.

Rowan hated to see his father.

As the third son, he had never been treated good. His father had his heir and spare, thus he was not even a spare for a spare in his father’s eyes, no matter how he proved himself.

However, what drove him to do what he had done was not because of the lack of attention from his father or how bad his brothers treated him, it was because he couldn’t stand his father’s regulation. He made people in their kingdom’s miserable.

Ever since he was little, Rowan would go out of the palace and played with the commoners, since it was easy for him to do that, because his father didn’t pay close attention to him, to the point he didn’t care.

Because of that as well, he watched closely what his father’s regulation had done to the people, throughout the years, he tried to make his father to change his mind.

But the last straw was when a family of his close friend was killed because they couldn’t pay tax and their land seized by the royal because it would be given to one of the king’s supporters.

Rowan was mad.

Rage was an understatement to describe how he felt at that moment when he watched how their dead bodies were left in the woods and let the wild animal to take care of it.

He and the other friends buried them.

Rowan killed his two older brothers because they were nothing good. They tried to get the commoner women and bedded them, leaving them on the street the next morning.

Most people said that Rowan wanted to ascend the throne because of his ambition to be the king and probably they were right, because there was some truth in it.

Since he realized, he couldn’t help anyone if he didn’t hold any power.

“Rowan!” Addie shouted when Rowan’s mind was not present, he threw the dagger toward him, but it passed his ear and cut small part of it, but Addie’s aim was obviously the creature behind him.

“You just cut my ear,” Rowan said, he touched his ear, it was bleeding, but he had so much blood in his hand already at this point.

“Hey, you should thank me, you know. I just saved your life!” Addie protested. “Focus! I don’t want you die and then have to kill you again.” He shuddered, his stomach was queasy to fight these dead people.

However, Rowan was not the only one who saw the people that he knew came to live in the worse condition ever.

But, Dawn saw her son too… she saw his tiny little body, she couldn’t believe her eyes at first, because there was no way he died when he shouldn’t have been born at this timeline.

“No way…” Dawn was having a hard time to stand up, she watched one of the knights swung his sword toward his little body and pushed him back to the craters. “NO!” Dawn screamed on the top of her lungs, but Darius stopped her when she was about to rush out of the shield.

“Calm down, what happened?!” Darius gritted his teeth, the pain was still unbearable, but he got used to it now.

“They killed my baby!” It was baby Rex. Her baby in her first life with Zenith. She remembered him. Even though it was only a glimpse of him.

“Who? What? Zade?”

Dawn dreaded the thought if it was Zade even more, but she shook her head. “My baby… baby Rex…”

Darius tried to remember who was Rex, but he couldn’t recall, probably because he was in pain and the chaotic situation turned his mind into a mess, but he reminded Dawn that those people had died already.

“You don’t need to feel bad, Dawn, they died already all of them had died. There is nothing you could do.”

Darius was right. Baby Rex had died, but to watch how your baby was being slashed into two and was pushed over the crater, it was still a devastated sight.

However, Dawn not only saw her baby, but she also saw her mother… she cried so hard when one of the warriors ‘killed’ her too. She remembered that day when her mother was killed by the rogue.

Everything was too much for her and she couldn’t take it any longer. She wanted this to end…
