Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: A BAD LUCK BRINGER
Dawn thought being apart from her would open her father’s eyes and he would finally realize what he had done to her all this time.

And for the first time after such a long time, he finally put her first.

However, Dawn couldn’t be more wrong. The moment his father decided it was a good idea to bring Julia and Emily, she knew that her father was far gone.

She was more disappointed in him than angry as she walked away from him. It was not a mature thing to do, but then, hating a child for his own mistake was far from being mature.

Her father didn’t really hurt her, but he didn’t do anything when these people mistreated her. He allowed them to do whatever they pleased, hurting her without facing real consequences for their actions.

When Dawn walked away, Tony was about to follow her, but Zenith waved his hand to make the guards stop him before they escorted them out of the palace.

After that, the alpha from the north followed his woman. He gave her space to calm down. Dawn didn’t even notice that he had been following her, until she finally stopped realizing that she had reached the palace gates.

“Do you want to go out?” Zenith asked, as he bent his body and talked near her ear, which startled her.

“Have you been following me?”

“No. I have just been walking in the same direction as you.”

“If you want to lie, you need to try harder than that.”

Zenith kissed her lips, which made Dawn widen her eyes, because there were so many guards and warriors around them.

“Do you want to go out?” Zenith asked the same question again.

“I don’t have money.”

“You are with a prince, Dawn. Do you think I will let you starve?”

It felt so foreign for Zenith to call himself a prince, but then he was indeed a prince. Dawn gave some thought to the offer and then nodded. “Let’s go!”

“For a while.”

“What?”

Zenith was mindlinking someone to bring them two cloaks to hide their faces.

“People know you, but they didn’t know about me, why should I wear this cloak?” Dawn was sure that she was not that famous to gain attention from the people, even though from what she heard, they had been talking about the ceremony a lot.

Zenith didn’t answer that question, he pulled down the hoodie to hide her face and took her hand.

That day, Zenith spoiled her by buying everything that she wanted and Dawn had never known that she had the ability to spend a lot of money.

At first, they went to an antique shop, where she bought three beautiful daggers. The cost of these three daggers was enough to buy a huge piece of land. Dawn was worried, but Zenith simply paid for that.

“You don’t have to buy that for me, I only admired it, it’s not like I will use it.” Dawn was panicking, she tried to stop the transaction, but Zenith pushed her face against his chest to stop her from rambling.

The next shop was a drug store, where she bought a few toxic ingredients, which Zenith didn’t understand, yet he paid for them anyway.

“For what purpose did you buy those things?”

“If someone tries to bully me again in the future, I am going to poison them.” Dawn was still upset because of her meeting with her father, though she was rather calm now.

“You need to continue your training.”

“Zenith, I am sure you will be able to tell that I am not gifted with combat power,” Dawn groaned. She needed to find a believable excuse to avoid training with him in the future.

And when it was time for dinner, they chose a tavern near the jewelry shop.

“Why don’t you eat?” Dawn asked, as she gobbled up her food, she was hungry and by this time, she had forgotten about what happened this afternoon.

“I am not hungry.” Zenith stared at Dawn’s food, the look on his face told Dawn what she needed to know.

“You are a picky eater,” Dawn said in an accusatory tone.

“That’s not a bad thing.”

Zenith didn’t even deny that, which left Dawn speechless, in the end, she couldn’t care less about that and continued to eat.

“Are you happy now?” Zenith asked when he saw her sigh, satisfied.

“Very!” Dawn exclaimed.

Zenith smiled to see her beaming. He only wanted to see her smiling like this. It upset him whenever she was uncomfortable.

“Please, remember this.” Zenith caressed her cheek and kissed the tip of her nose. “I will never hurt you. Never.”

Dawn didn’t understand what he was talking about, but it wouldn’t be long until she learned the truth behind Zenith’s weird behavior and how he knew about her even though they only met for a few months now…

Zenith only hoped by the time she learned about all of that, she wouldn’t despise him.

“Well, if you hurt me, I will poison you, too.” Dawn was fed up with being hurt. She was also not serious about what she said.

“Okay.”

“I have one request, will you allow me?”

“What is it?” Zenith narrowed his eyes, because he sensed this was not a good thing.

“I want to try that.”

===============================

Zenith learned his lesson. He shouldn’t have allowed Dawn to drink because she was a mess when she was drunk.

“I am going to beat her up! I am going to slap Julia and Emily and kick both of them and… what else should I do to them?” The drunk Dawn turned her head to look at Zenith. “Do you have any suggestions on how to torture someone?”

Currently, they were inside the carriage.

“Skin them alive?”

“Yes! Yes!” Dawn was happy. “You know what? Julia kept saying to me that I was the cause of my mother’s death and my father didn’t love me! She said that I am a bad luck bringer. I am not one, right?”

“No, you are not.”
