Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: THE DEEPEST REGRET
“Why did he put him in the dungeon?” Zander was shocked upon hearing the report from Lance about what Zenith had done. He put Blake inside a jail. “For what crime?”

“Coveting the woman of a royal family member.”

Zander clicked his tongue. “He only uses his status when it’s convenient for him.”

“So, what are we going to do now?” Lance then told him about Alpha Tony and Beta Jason, who came the other day.

“Put him on trial.” Zander didn’t seem to care.

“Alpha Tony is the alpha of the Moonlight pack, Zan, he can do something with the harbor there.” Lance reminded him. “We are still investigating the harbor and we will need his cooperation in the future.”

Zander glanced at him. “Well, too bad. If he doesn’t want to cooperate, I can put him down and replace him with someone who has no problem cooperating with the King.”

Lance threw his hands in the air, giving up. “Okay, okay.” For Zander, if the gentle way didn’t work, then he would take the harsh way.

“What about the preparations for the ceremony?”

“We sent out the invitations yesterday.”

A month from now, the first royal ceremony in three decades would be held, therefore, people were very excited. You could feel how different the atmosphere was when you walked in the streets and all the people talked about the new princess of the kingdom.

However, the more Emily listened to it, the more furious she was. She couldn’t stand still and was drowning in jealousy.

It should have been her! It should be her that people were talking about!

Currently, she was sitting on the windowsill, staring into the distance and hating herself for listening to her mother. She glanced at her bulging stomach and hated it even more, because this was a reminder of Blake.

What a coward! And now she was pregnant with his child!

Six months! She was currently six months pregnant and when she attended the royal ceremony, she would be seven months along. Her body would get bigger and she wouldn’t look pleasant. She hated it.

“Get out!” Emily hit her stomach. She wanted this baby to get out of her body quickly.

“Emily! What are you doing!?” Tony caught her hand and scolded her for trying to harm herself and the baby.

“I don’t want to birth that bastard’s baby!” Emily shouted back at the alpha.

They were in the living room of the inn and Tony was having a conversation with Jason about what to do, while Julia and Ava were in the other room.

“Lower your voice! Don’t be stupid!”

“Why? Why do you care? You are not even my father!”

Tony felt like he wanted to slap her across the face, so she could get back to her senses. The regret he felt toward Dawn deepened. How could he trade his own daughter, his own flesh and blood, for this ungrateful bitch?!

Hearing the commotion, Jason, Ava and Julia came to check, as they watched the screaming match between Tony and Emily.

“You don’t care about me! You only wanted me to replace Dawn to be with Alpha Zenith! But, you know what?! I would rather have Alpha Zenith as my mate than that coward of a man! It is very disgusting to think I am pregnant with his child!”

And before anyone could react and discern what Emily was saying, Ava had rushed forward and slapped her so hard, Emily fell to the floor and wailed in pain.

“How dare you badmouth my son?!” Ava growled, she was only a step away from shifting into her beast and mauling this bitch! “You were the one who seduced my son! You were the one, who brought chaos to his life! You were the one, who was very shameless to throw yourself at him! You are nothing, but a useless bitch!”

Ava screamed at the top of her lungs, until the people from the next room could hear her.

“Dawn is a thousand times better than you! You are not even worth holding a candle to her! It’s bad luck for my son to even know you!”

Julia was furious to hear the insults hurled at Emily. And her heart ached to watch her precious daughter wail in pain.

“How dare you talk down to my daughter!?” Julia jumped in. She shifted into her beast and was ready to attack Ava.

With this, the situation escalated very quickly, Tony and Jason were on alert, they tried to calm the women down before blood was spilled.

“Shift back!” Tony used his alpha’s voice, which made the beast back off, but she was still not willing to shift back. “SHIFT BACK!”

The alpha’s voice boomed inside the room and this caused pain to anyone who heard it. Unable to bear the alpha’s wrath, Julia shifted back into her human form, she glared dagger at Ava, who was being held back by Jason.

“She hit our daughter! Don’t you want to do anything?! Will you stand there like a coward when you see your daughter being hit?!” Julia was on the verge of crying because Tony didn’t stand by her side.

However, Tony’s answer silenced her. “Didn’t she say it herself that she didn’t see me as a father? I am not a father to her.”

Emily was stunned.

And then, there was a knock on the door. It was a royal messenger. He was here to deliver the invitation for the ceremony that would be held within a month.

Because they were spotted in the capital city, thus it was not hard to find where they were staying.

“Lady Dawn also invited you for an afternoon tea tomorrow. Will you give the answer right away?”

Tony was surprised that Dawn wanted to see him privately, of course, he wouldn’t miss this chance. “Yes. I will go to the palace and meet with her.”

Tony felt anxious about their meeting tomorrow. He would take her away if that was what Dawn wanted.
