Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: THE ARRIVAL OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH
*****Author note: For readers, who confused with the new volume. This is Zenith’s first life. As you can see it’s about rebirth. The reason why Zenith felt this strong regret for Dawn and why he seemed to know her even when they just met, it’s because the previous volume is his second chance life, he turned back time to correct all the mistakes he had made.

But in this volume, it’s about his first life from Dawn’s perspective. Dawn got to see what actually happened in his first life after Zenith marked her after the royal ceremony.

Hope it helps.*******

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

***** Zenith’s first life *****

“Father, what happened? What are they doing here?” Dawn was terrified when she saw there were a lot of foreign faces entering their pack.

“It’s okay, Dawn. Stay inside your bedroom and don’t come out no matter what.” Tony reassured his fifteen years old daughter. “Everything will be alright.”

“Why? What are they doing here? Is that the Alpha from the north?” Dawn asked, she had never seen Alpha Zenith, but his cruelty was a horror story that people talked about during their free time.

“Yes, you need to greet him, okay? After that, go to your bedroom and don’t come out, Blake will accompany you.”

Dawn wanted to protest, but the look on her father’s face stopped her. Not long after, Beta Jason came with Blake, his son. The two of them had been good friends since they were little and it was not weird to let the two of them play together.

“What do you think will happen here?” Dawn asked, her face looked very worried. Based on how notorious Alpha Zenith was, it was not a good sign if he came to your pack with a bunch of warriors.

“I will tell you later,” Blake whispered back to her.

Alpha Tony, Beta Jason and Gamma Alex greeted the alpha from the north in front of the main gates. Then they introduced Dawn and Blake, who stood in the back.

This was the first time for Dawn to see Alpha Zenith and her first impression of this man was not really good. He looked very aloof and vicious. Even though he was only twenty three years old, he looked like he had gone through a brutal war for decades and the peaceful time couldn’t even shield the killing intent in his eyes.

Dawn lowered her head because she was too scared to look at the alpha for too long.

After this tension at the main gates to welcome the alpha, they finally moved to the pack house and while the high ranking shifters were having an important discussion, Dawn and Blake escaped to her bedroom.

“From what I heard, your father borrowed a thousand warriors from Alpha Zenith and because of Alpha Tony’s mistake, all the warriors died during the battle in the western part of the kingdom.”

Blake only recalled what he remembered from what he heard from his father.

The western part of the kingdom had been in conflict ever since the previous king stepped down from the throne and people thought the new king was too young to lead the kingdom, but the hardest protest came from the west.

Two years ago there was a coup which was thwarted, but this made the rebels more aggressive and Alpha Tony volunteered to eradicate these criminals, for this he received ten thousand soldiers from the kingdom, but unfortunately, one year later his efforts turned out to be fruitless while the rebels became stronger.

Instead of taking a step back, Alpha Tony actually borrowed a thousand more soldiers from Alpha Zenith, where he had to pay compensation for every life lost, but because all the soldiers died and the mission failed, now Alpha Tony had to pay for everything.

“Alpha Tony was too proud to stop when he should have taken a step back and now he was facing the consequences.”

Dawn hit Blake’s shoulder. “You are talking about my father.”

“I am sorry, but father said, Alpha Tony didn’t want to listen to my father’s advice.” Blake was also upset because his father was implicated by this.

Dawn looked worried. “What would they do to my father?”

“I don’t know. I think they will take him to the capital city and try him there.”

Dawn looked morose. And for the next three days, when she couldn’t see her father, she would alternate to go to Blake’s house or to the healer’s room. She used to spend her time with Lyra, the healer of the pack.

“What else do you want to learn now, dear?” Lyra asked, she was a beautiful woman with long hair that reached her waist and she always smelled like peppermint.

“I don’t want to learn anything, I want to see my father.” Dawn couldn’t see her father because Gamma Alex told her it would put her father in a difficult situation, but he reassured her that he would be fine. Dawn didn’t believe him.

Only a week after Alpha Zenith arrived, Dawn finally could see her father again, but it was only for a brief moment.

During this time, Dawn would avoid Alpha Zenith because she was scared of him. The people around him looked very scary too.

“Father will go to the capital city for a while, you need to be a good girl, okay? You need to follow whatever Beta Jason says.” Alpha Tony caressed Dawn’s head. “He will be in charge of the pack and you starting from tomorrow.”

“Why?” Dawn was scared, she remembered what Blake said to her. “Will the King punish you? When will you return?”

“I don’t know, Dawn, but I will return as soon as possible.” Alpha Tony kissed her cheek.

The next day, early in the morning, Dawn watched her father be taken away. He left with Alpha Zenith and his vicious warriors.

Despite her fear, Dawn approached Alpha Zenith, she wanted to beg him to forgive her father. “Can you not take my father away? My father fought in the battle. It’s not his fault if he lost the battle. He had tried his best.”

This alpha from the north had those piercing blue eyes that could remind you of the deep blue sky, filled with mystery and untouched.

How could someone have such an imposing aura?

However, the alpha didn’t even spare the young girl a glance. “Take her away.”

Alpha Zenith’s gamma approached Dawn and gave her a candy. “Here, take this and run along.”

“I am not a child!” Dawn was mad.

And that morning was the last time for Dawn to see her father, as they took him to the capital city.
