Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: MOURNING
“Hm? What happened with her?” Darius caught a sight of Emily, she kept sneezing. “You did something to her?”

Dawn shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She didn’t answer the question, but Darius knew she had done something to that woman and he was right.

It was not something fatal. This was something that Hecate gave to her before she left for the north. She had asked him to find an item to create a concoction, which she would give to Emily.

The concoction would make Emily has an allergy to winter. She would keep sneezing until winter ended. It was not something fatal, but it would be so annoying.

“Zaya will leave to Marca El in two months, are you going to see her off?” Darius reminded her about the last letter that Zaya wrote for her.

Dawn thought about that for a while. “No. I think I will skip that. I will write for her to apologize for my absent.”

Dawn didn’t want to go to Moonlight pack. She didn’t want to be there at all, because there were so many memories that would bring her to the edge.

Moonlight pack was the place where she lost her mate, she still remembered every moment of it. She remembered how Zenith’s warm blood in her hands and how the black beast fell to the crater.

No one knew about the detail of what happened, aside from those people, who saw it, therefore, they didn’t know the fact that she was the one, who had stabbed the alpha.

Zander decided it would be a secret, because people would try to twist the fact and it would put Dawn in dangerous position, especially when they learned that Dawn’s mother came from the west and she originally was a spy in Moonlight pack.

Thing would get out of hands and people’s hearts were so fickle.

Based on that, they only said that Zenith died during the battle. That was all.

“Are you, okay?” Axel asked one day.

“I am fine.”

“You don’t look good.”

Dawn chuckled. “Stop nagging at me. I am fine.” She smiled at the beta, as she retracted her gaze from Zade, who was playing with the other children. He was nine years old now.

Day turned into months and now years had passed since the battle in the moonlight pack, but Dawn felt she was stuck in the past.

It had been a decade since what happened and Dawn felt time moved very slow, but at the same time, it moved very fast, since she saw her son was already so big. Zade refused to be kissed in public now because it would ruin his image as an alpha of the pack, though in private he would still ask for a hug or two from his mother.

Zade was a sweetheart. He learned so fast and excelled in his training.

“I have a headache with these.” Dawn flicked the letters from Alpha Deckan. He was the alpha from the west.

Axel glanced at the letters and immediately knew what she meant. He chuckled and threw a sympathetic look toward Dawn.

“You need to consider that.” Axel put another report on her desk. “We need to do clean up in the untouched land, there are so many monsters now. I think it’s time for Zade to come and see how it’s done.”

Because they couldn’t shift into their beast anymore, they adopted the fighting style from Marca El people and used sword to fight like those knights.

Axel refused to use the sword, many warriors refused to do that because it hurt their pride, but as time went by, the idea was not really bothering them anymore and now Axel had one. A sword and a dagger always strapped around his waist now.

“Consider?” Dawn scrunched her nose. She didn’t want to consider anything. She didn’t even want to think about that at all. “There is nothing to be considered.”

Axel flicked his gaze at her black dress. “Don’t you think it’s time for you to stop mourning?”

Dawn’s expression turned solemn. “I don’t see the point why I should stop mourning when I can do my daily activity just like any normal people and go on with my life.”

“You are not going on with your life, Dawn. You only wait for your time to end,” Axel said. “Let it go, Dawn. I am sure Zenith didn’t want you to go on like this.”

“No. No one will know what exactly in his mind.” Dawn pushed away the letters from alpha Deckan, who asked her hand. They met once and he wanted her to be his chosen mate, to strengthen the power of two packs.

Dawn didn’t need that, under her reign, the north was as strong as when Zenith was the alpha.

“I have Zade, I have my pack and I have everything that I need here. I don’t want to change anything.” Dawn looked at Axel. “There is nothing wrong with me waiting for my time to end, all of us do the same thing, right? We only wait for our time to end. It’s not like I am sitting idly while waiting.”

Axel didn’t know what to say anymore and then dropped the topic, he always knew that Dawn was very stubborn and he didn’t want to bother her.

Not long after, Zade entered the room. He greeted Axel and then went to his mother with a bouquet of wild flowers.

“Mother, I found these beautiful flowers,” he said, as he handed the flowers to Dawn.

“Thank you, my love,” Dawn said, as she gave a kiss to Zade’s cheek, but he dodged it.

“I am big already, mother. You can’t kiss me in front of other people.”

“I am not ‘other people’,” Axel chimed in. “Promise, I will not say anything.” The beta chuckled when Zade glared at him.

“Give me a hug then if I can’t kiss you.”

Zade thought about that for a while and then leaned over to give her a hug.
