Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: I WILL TAKE CARE OF HER
Yara was very upset when she learned about the rumor. They pictured the luna and the beta in a very bad light, saying that they had a special relationship.

However, they indicated that the relationship had even started when the alpha was still alive, even questioned the father of Zade, which was very stupid, since the little one had the alpha’s eyes and he looked exactly like him.

‘But, it doesn’t proof the luna’s innocent. Zade is the alpha’s son, but it doesn’t mean she has never seen the beta behind the alpha’s back in that time.’

That was the best thing that they could say.

They became this wild because Dawn was too busy with a lot of things and didn’t have time to deal with them, which they thought they could get away with what they said.

More so, they had never been led by a luna alone before, thus a woman leader was not really appealing for them. It made their pack looked weak…

“Are you asking for me, Dawn?” Alpha Tony entered the study room.

Dawn was staring at the moon, she was standing next to the window, leaning her back against the wall. Her eyes drifted from the beautiful sight out there to her father, who just entered the room.

“Sit, please.” Dawn always used this formal voice whenever she talked to Tony, creating a distance between them.

Tony had been trying to get close to her, but Dawn would always shut his attempt down. She only let him to see Zade a handful of time, but aside from that, she didn’t allow him to get close to her baby, while Emily…

Dawn didn’t allow her near her or Zade at all. Arren could play with Zade, but Emily wouldn’t be there, since there would be a lot of people around Zade and Arren, thus her presence was not necessary.

“I assumed you must have heard about my plan to send you and Emily back to Moonlight pack,” Dawn said, she walked toward the sofa and sat down. She didn’t want to be close to her father.

In the past, she used to seek for his attention, for his affection, but right now, she didn’t even want to say anything to him if it was not necessary. She felt so distance from him, even though he was her father.

“Yes, I have heard that. Axel had told me about your plan.” Tony took a deep breath, as he listened to Dawn.

“Alex has been taking care of the pack while you are here, therefore, I think this is the right time for you to leave. Emily will go with you, so did Arren. I only wanted to ask a favor from you.”

“Anything, Dawn. You can ask me for any favor.” Tony was too eager to make things right for her, thus he would agree with whatever Dawn wanted him to do.

“I want you to take Arren to Ava’s grave. She really wanted to see him for the last time.” Dawn didn’t give any detail of the story, but the next thing that she said made alpha Tony lowered his head in shame. “She fought bravely. She fought Blake, even though he was her precious son. She knew what’s right and wrong.”

“I hope I was there.”

“You were not there and you don’t need to beat yourself up for that.”

Dawn didn’t know why her father chose to stay in the north when he could come and help them, but then it didn’t matter. Having an additional one shifter wouldn’t change the story.

“Dawn, if you wanted me to leave because you don’t feel comfortable with Emily around, we can send her back to the pack. I can stay here for a little bit longer to help you to get a grasp of how to run a pack.”

“You don’t need to, Axel will help me with that. I have learned enough from you.”

“Dawn… do you still hate me?”

Dawn finally met his eyes. She took her time to answer that. “Do I hate you? Sometimes, I wondered about that too, but now when you asked me the question, I don’t think I hate you.”

Her answer made Tony sighed in relief, but it was not for long.

“But, I don’t love you either. I don’t even care about you, to be honest. It almost feels like you are a stranger for me and whatever happened to you, is none of my business.”

“Do I hurt you that deep to the point you don’t even care about me at all?”

“You had been hurting me in the past, father, but right now, what I feel about is the feeling of an indifferent.”

Tony lowered his head. He clasped his fingers together. “If I left… the rumor about you and Axel will ruin your reputation.” He was still trying to stay. He didn’t want to leave for his pack. He didn’t want to see that pack anymore. He wanted to stay here with his daughter and his grandson, he was getting old and he had no family in that pack… he would be alone and Tony didn’t want to spend his old days alone…

“I will take care of that.” Dawn leaned her back against the sofa. She crossed her arms. “I know who has started the rumor.”

Of course, she knew. Tony also knew who had started the rumor and he had talked to Emily, but she was adamant to refuse that she was the one, who had spread that nasty rumor.

“I will take care of Emily.”

“You have said the same thing over and over,” Dawn said. She stood up and then walked toward the door, she held it open. “I think our conversation is done here. I am more than capable of taking care of her.”

And Dawn proved it to him, because the next day, something big in the pack happened and all of them learned in the hardest way to never cross the luna.
