Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (28)
“You didn’t trust me, did you?” Nadia asked, as they entered the swamp, Zander followed behind her and this was the first time, she broke the silence and talked to Zander.

The king didn’t know where Nadia would take him, but he followed her regardless, he watched how the little wolf spirit around her followed her, being playful with one another, but it was only Zade’s wolf spirit that was being carried by Nadia. Zade’s wolf spirit looked sick and this worried Zander.

“You tried to kill me.”

“But, I didn’t. You are still alive, right now.”

Zander scoffed and Nadia stopped walking, she actually glared at him, which made him took a step back.

“I told you not to scoff at me.”

Zander was reminded of how pissed Nadia could be whenever he was scoffing at her. He didn’t do it again when Nadia gave him an earful when he did that, but just now he did it again.

The old habit returned.

“What? Are you trying to complain now?”

Nadia narrowed her beautiful green eyes. “You are already so old to act bratty, you know.”

“We are on the same age.”

“No, we are not. My time stopped when I was eighteen.” Nadia saw something in Zander’s eyes and then turned around, she continued to walk.

Zander didn’t want to be reminded of that. He didn’t want to be reminded that the woman before him had actually died.

His mind must have made a fool of him to think that Nadia was actually coming back from wherever place she went all this time.

“Where will you take me?” Zander finally asked.

“Just follow me,” Nadia replied curtly.

They walked for another five minutes in silence and none of them wanted to speak, though there were a lot of things that Zander wanted to ask to her.

They finally stopped walking when they reached a small lake there.

“I used to love the lake here.” Nadia looked at the lake with sad face, the pup around her stopped walking too and started to fight playfully with one another, as they bit or nipped at each other legs or ears. They looked happy.

Zander didn’t give any response for that comment. He knew how much Nadia liked this place and asked him to take a good care of it, but why would Zander listen to the person, who wanted to kill him?

“What do you want?” Zander stood two steps behind her, but she beckoned him to come closer to her.

“What? Are you afraid that I will bite you?”

And there, Nadia still had time to joke around with him. Zander approached her just because he wanted this to end quickly and he could hear what actually she wanted.

“Here. Hold him.” Nadia actually handed over Zade’s wolf spirit to him. Zander accepted it out of instinct, because she just shoved the little wolf into his arms.

“What the meaning of this, Nadia.”

Nadia smiled at him. “You can save your siblings, you know.” She watched how the questions started to build in Zander’s mind and before he could ask, she already explained everything to Zander.

Started from the prophecy that she saw for Zenith and the whole thing that was going to happen in this kingdom.

“You have known everything since the beginning?” Zander couldn’t believe that.

“I am a magic user, remember? But, I am also a clairvoyant. I saw it’s happening.” She stretched out her hand to touch Zade’s spirit wolf and caressed it’s ear. “Do you know that the dragon sect initially came from my tribe?”

She looked sad when she said that and gave Zander a little story about it, as the leader of the previous dragon sect was actually her father’s brother. They went separate way because they had different view on how they saw magic.

“I know how to save your brother and sister.” She smiled sheepishly at him. “I am sorry for the misunderstanding. It made me sad to see how you lived your life in the past decade. I really wished for your happiness, Zander.”

“You took my happiness away with your betrayal.”

Nadia shook her head. “I have never betrayed you. If I didn’t do what I did that night, instead of living without being able to shift into your beast, you will die.” She shook her head. “I did what I have to do in order to keep you alive and I am sorry if I hurt you.”

“You should tell me.”

“You would never agree.”

Nadia was right, whatever the reason that she gave him if it ended up with her death, Zander would never agree to any of that.

“You left me.”

“Yes, and I am sorry for that.” Nadia took a step closer toward him and this must be crazy, but Zander could smell her sweet scent. “Let’s end this chaos, okay?”

Nadia’s green eyes fell on Zade. Her eyes softened.

“You need to hurry, I don’t think he will be able to hold back longer than this. He is so brave to endure the pain this long.” Nadia lifted her head and met with Zander’s eyes. “The masked men that you have been seeing, are the people from the sacrifices, they are all needed to close the gate of hell. The children that Lucia brought with her still could be saved if you are quick enough, but them…”

Nadia waved to the little wolves around her, they were playing happily, as if they didn’t have any care for the world, but then, they were no longer in this world.

“They had died for a long time, there is no way for them to go back to the living world again.”

“How do you think I can help my siblings?” Zander gritted his teeth. He didn’t need to elaborate his question, because Nadia understood.

“This will be the last time for you to be able to shift into your wolf.” After saying that, Nadia pushed Zander down into the lake.
