Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: IT’S OVER
Zander held Dawn close to him, because he didn’t want them to be sucked into the hurricane that Zaya created.

But, Pyro rushed toward him and created a shield around them. He used his last magic stone to do so.

In this case, he had created two spots of shield, which exerted so much of his energy. The other spot was to protect the knights and the warriors.

“How is she? Is she alright?! Where is Zen?!” Pyro had to raise his voice above this loud and harsh wind. He looked at Dawn with concern in his eyes. “Is she alright?!”

“No.”

Physically, Dawn must be very exhausted, but mentally, it would take a long time for her to be alright… Zander knew that. He knew the real agony would come to her the moment she opened her eyes and faced the reality.

“Where is Zenith?” Pyro asked again, but from the look on his face, it seemed, he already knew what the answer could be. He gritted his teeth and didn’t ask more question, as they watched how Zaya unleashed the power of black magic, sent it back to the underworld, where it belonged and no one should ever touch it again.

The wind was so harsh, but it was not as hot as before and the sky slowly returned to its color. It was early morning, as they could see the soft light of the sun.

But, Zander’s eyes found something else. He caught a sight of Nadia.

She was standing not too far from the crater, the masked men behind her and the little wolves spirits around her legs. She smiled at him.

“Look after her,” Zander said as he handed over Dawn to Pyro and step out of the shield.

“Zan! Where are you going?! Come back here! Why are you going?!” He looked panic because he was afraid that Zander would do something reckless. He wouldn’t put it passed him if he wanted to jump over the crater.

But, he couldn’t leave Dawn alone.

“Zan! Don’t be stupid! Come back here!” Pyro called him frantically when he saw Zander walked over to the edge of the crater, but he stopped a few steps away from there. He simply stood there in the harsh winds. “What are you doing there?!”

However, Pyro couldn’t see what Zander could see. The royal beta was unable to see the masked men, the wolf spirits and the woman that should be the queen of this kingdom.

This sight only appeared in Zander’s eyes, it was only him, who could see this.

“Is this a goodbye?” Zander asked, his voice was barely a whisper against the howling wind and Nadia smiled softly at him. “There are a lot of things that we should talk about.”

“I know.” Nadia nodded, she took a step forward to him.

“Can I touch you?” Zander asked softly. He raised his hand, but stopped before he could touch her. “Or are you going to disappear if I touched you? Or maybe I will not feel anything, but the wind?”

Nadia smiled brightly, she giggled. Zander felt like he was going to go crazy with the need to feel her.

“Why don’t you find out?” Nadia tilted her head and allowed Zander to touch her cheek.

Zander gasped when the flesh under her fingers was solid. She was real. She was not only in his imagination, though it was only him, who could see her, who could confirm that she was there, standing in front of him.

Her skin was smooth and the heat was real, as if her blood rushed in her veins.

“How this could be…”

Nadia winked at him. “Magic.”

Zander felt like his heart was going to burst. “Could this magic make you stay with me?”

Nadia wrinkled her nose, her gaze turned sad. “Unfortunately, no. It’s best for all the dark magic to disappear from this realm.”

“You are going to disappear too.”

The word left his lips and he knew that was true. He knew that this was not a second chance or anything like that. Nadia had died and the woman before him was only a vivid hallucination of what remained of her.

She was a powerful magic user, a clairvoyant and she knew from the beginning they wouldn’t be together, therefore she would say something so strange during their time together.

“Our time was very short,” Nadia said. “Don’t you think?” She took a step closer toward Zander and caressed her cheek. “I don’t know that I will leave you like this with so much pain and I am really sorry for that.”

“What is so great about magic when you couldn’t even stay?”

Nadia shook her head, she then leaned over to rest her head against his chest and Zander caressed her nape. She liked it when he played with her hair.

“You are so real. I can touch you and I can smell your scent. Why couldn’t you stay?”

“You know the reason why.”

She used black magic too and in order to get rid all of the black magic from this realm, she needed to be disappeared as well, more so, she died already. Her place was no longer here.

“Thank you for everything, Zander. I really loved the time we spent together.” Nadia lifted her head and looked at him with her beautiful green eyes. “That’s the highlight of my life.”

Zander gritted his teeth, as he leaned over and kissed her lips. She was very real, even her lips were real. Why she couldn’t stay?

Nadia reciprocated the kiss, but then she pulled away gently. “It’s time.”

And with that, she went toward the edge of the craters, followed by the rest of the masked men and the little wolf spirits.

The moment her body disappeared, the crater was closed and the sky turned normal, as the wind stopped.

The black magic was gone from this realm as well and cool wind blew from the west. Everything was over now.
