Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: THE CROWN
“In three weeks, there will be a clean up in the Untouched Land. Axel thought that you are ready for it, what do you think?”

Zade’s blue eyes lit up. “Really?! I want to go! I will go!” He said excitedly.

Dawn nodded. “But, you need to promise me that you will not roam around the area on your own, promise me?”

“I promised.”

Dawn felt a little bit uncomfortable to let him go to the Untouched Land, because of what happened to her son in the first life, but Zade and Rex were different. There would be a lot of people with him, he should be well protected.

And when the day came, Dawn sent all of her personal warriors to go with Zade, despite his protest. She couldn’t be at ease.

“You are being paranoid,” Darius teased her.

“Maybe,” Dawn replied softly, as she watched how Zade mounted his horse and went to the forest.

Thankfully, there was nothing happened to Zade during their ‘clean up’ in the untouched land. He actually managed to kill five monsters and look so proud of himself when he told her the story of how he killed them.

Dawn didn’t know whether he exaggerated his story or not, but when he told her what happened, Dawn felt the urge to not allow him to go to the untouched land anymore.

But of course, she wouldn’t do that, it was only her motherly instinct, who was being a little bit frantic to hear that her son was in danger and surrounded by monster.

“Is that true? What he told me was true?” Dawn asked Denzel when Zade had left with the other warriors. “Did he exaggerate the story?”

“Yes, luna. He didn’t exaggerate the story.”

Dawn glared at him. “Why did he put himself in danger? Where were you?”

“It’s okay, Dawn. Those monsters were only goblins, they were not really dangerous,” Axel reassured her. He was also there, thus he knew Zade was not in any real danger. “You don’t need to worry, he is an excellent fighter.”

Dawn glared at Axel too. “Yes, but I will prefer for him not to be in any danger at all.” She felt her heart leapt from her chest when she heard how her son fought against two goblins at the same time. She would look for those goblins and flayed them herself.

However, after some time, she realized that she was only being a little bit paranoid. Zade needed to know this and this was important for him, since he would be the alpha once he came to age. She couldn’t shelter him forever.

She loved to see how he grew up to be a strong and responsible man.

He was sweet and nice, but you wouldn’t want to see when he stopped being nice, since he would show you what fear was.

Actually, it happened once when Zade showed his other side of his sweet nature and everyone was shaken up by the sight.

At that time, Dawn was being bothered by alpha Deckan, who kept persisting to have her as his chosen mate and when Zade found all the letters, he marched toward the west and met with the alpha directly.

Long story short, the king had to come to the west to calm down his niece and prevent him from tearing the pack apart, since Zade was going to burn the entire pack in his wrath.

He was a man, who would bring you flower and give you kisses and hugs, but he was also the same man, who would show no mercy to those people, who crossed him, especially those people, who bothered people that he cared about.

At that time, Zade was only sixteen, but he was the strongest fighter from the north, a clever one to be precise.

What was more terrifying was the fact that he inherited the knowledge of poisons from his mother.

After that incident, needless to say, the letter stopped and alpha Deckan was replaced by his son.

And today, when he was eighteen, there was a ceremony for him, as he came to age, where he would carry his father’s legacy. Dawn would step down from her position and let Zade ran the pack.

“Are you nervous?” Dawn asked Zade. She came to visit him before the ceremony. He looked regal in his black attire, just like his father, but she could see her own resemblance on him.

“Not really,” Zade replied. He leaned over and gave kisses to both of Dawn’s cheeks. “They are the people that I know.”

“And there is the king.”

Zade scoffed. “What the worse thing that my uncle could do?”

Dawn chuckled. Zander dotted on Zade so much to the point it was ridiculous. It felt like Zander tried to fill the void of Zenith’s absence and did everything that Zenith would love to do with his son.

Zander had never been a king for Dawn and Zade, but a family.

“Did he still insist for you to take the throne?” Dawn asked. She neated his cloak.

“Yes.”

Zander had given this idea when Zade was still a babe and Zenith didn’t give him a definite answer for that.

“He should have looked for a chosen mate and make his own child rather than bothering me.”

Dawn caressed his cheek. “You know that he will not take anyone to be his queen.”

“Yes, I know.” Zade contemplated about it for a while, he had been thinking about this for quite some time actually. “I will consider the offer.”

“Do whatever you think is right for you.”

And after that, the ceremony went smoothly, Zade was officially the alpha of the north and half a year later, he was crowned as the crown prince, which meant, he would be the next in line for the throne after Zander stepped down or passed away.

“Don’t even think to die quickly, uncle,” Zade said in low voice when he was crowned.

“Brat!” Zander hissed, but mirth danced in his eyes.
