Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 82

Chapter 82: I WILL FIX THIS
***** Zenith’s first life *****

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

***Dawn’s POV***

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

Blake was stunned, but there was nothing he could do against a four years old little boy, who was glaring a dagger look at him. He looked like a mini version of Zenith and one could tell that he would grow up to be a fierce alpha one day.

Seeing that, Dawn immediately picked her son up and walked away from Blake. She didn’t want to cause commotion and with that, Blake lost the only chance for him to talk with Dawn alone.

“Mama, Did that alpha bully you? Should I tell papa?” Rex cupped Dawn’s face when he talked to her. His blue eyes looked concern for his mother.

“There is no need for that, honey.” Dawn kissed his little hand. “Let’s go home now.”

Rex hugged his mother. He was a sweet boy, but he could be very fierce like his father.

With that, in the afternoon, Zenith and his little entourage departed from Moonlight pack.

Once they arrived at the north, they settled to their daily activity. Dawn rarely met with Zenith because he used to go to the capital city, but even when he was in the pack, he avoided Dawn.

She didn’t know what she had done wrong, but it was very obvious that Zenith was upset about something. He was upset with her for the reason that she didn’t know.

Since they had never really in a speaking term, Dawn didn’t think much about it, until one day Rex disappeared.

He was playing with Dawn in the garden, but suddenly he disappeared and no one saw the little boy.

Today was a busy day because someone from Karam continent came to talk about a few businesses with Zenith, some people from the capital city also came. The alpha was very busy.

Still, Dawn sought for him. Their son had gone missing, there was no way Zenith would turn blind eye for that, but that was what he did.

Zenith turned her down. He chased her out from the meeting room.

With that, Dawn tried to search for her baby with the other warriors, but when she still couldn’t find him even after a few hours, only then she went to see Zenith again.

Thankfully, this time took this matter seriously and postponed the meeting with the other people. He led the warriors to look for their son.

Dawn couldn’t breathe properly during this time, she looked for her baby, she shifted into her beast and joined the search, but to their horror, the last sign of Rex told them that the little boy had entered the untouched land.

Dawn almost got a heart attack because of that. Untouched Land was a forbidden area, where monsters lived freely there. That area was populated by so many monsters and even a strong warrior wouldn’t dare to venture too deep into the land.

“Enough! Stay here!” Zenith said angrily, as he held Dawn back. She couldn’t hold her beast form because of how exhausted she was, but she still wanted to go to the Untouched Land, which was the same as suicide.

After that warning, Zenith led his warriors to enter the land.

It took him three days and the fallen of so many warriors for him to be able to retrieve their son’s body.

Everything was a blur for Dawn, she couldn’t even feel her own body when she realized her little boy, the light of her life was no longer with her.

She didn’t cry, she didn’t move, she didn’t speak. She stayed like that for who knew how long. The funeral came and went by just like that.

Once again, Dawn felt like she was under the water. It was hard to breathe, it was a labor to even breath. The pain was too much. She didn’t even remember what she did after that.

She only remembered that she said one thing to Zenith.

“Why didn’t you believe me when I said our son had gone missing?” There was no tear in her dull eyes. “Only if you believed me, my son is still here with me now.”

That was it, after that, Dawn shut herself down. No one could reach to her, it was anguish that she felt and she thought she was going to live like that for the rest of her life.

Until one night, Dawn heard people screamed, she heard the pleas of the people in the pack. The gruesome sound when you were on the verge of death. The gurgling sound when you were choked by your own blood.

And after that everything went quiet. It was eerily quiet.

Dawn didn’t know, who had carried this massacre, but she was more than willing to wait for her turn. She waited in her bedroom. She could see the silhouette of that beast from the crack of her door. The black beast with blood dripped from its dark fur.

However, the beast didn’t do anything.

The black beast stayed like that for a long time, licking his wound.

Dawn didn’t know what happened next, everything was a blur, she only knew the light of the sun hurt her eyes and when she closed them, she was already inside the carriage, someone talked to her, but she didn’t understand what they were saying and when the carriage door opened, she was in a new place, far away from the north.

Dawn didn’t recognize anyone else, but Lyra.

Years later, she learned that alpha Zenith massacred the whole pack. In his rage, he only left Dawn untouched. He even killed his own beta and gamma.

It was crazy, the king had to give a verdict to kill his own brother.

The people, who supported Zenith scattered and turned their tune, as they pledged their loyalty again to the king and receive punishment.

Meanwhile, even after ten years, no one had ever seen the alpha from the north again.

A new stronghold was built in the north to prevent from the monsters to attack the nearby village and the story of the cruel alpha Zenith became the only topic that people talked about for years.

They were curios about where the alpha’s whereabout.

Some people said he went to the untouched land and die there, some said he fled the continent and had never returned.

But there was one thing that Dawn was certain about. One day, no matter if it was ten years or ten decades, Zenith would come to see her again.

She believed that, probably because of the mate bond that tied them together.

And she was right.

Fifteen years after the death of their son. She saw that black beast again. He shifted into his human form and under the dimly lit room, Dawn could see his blue eyes.

“I came back. I keep my promise to fix this.”

Dawn looked at him. She walked toward him and stabbed him in the chest with the dagger that she had kept with her ever since Lyra took her away from the north.

Zenith didn’t fight her back, instead, he grabbed her hand and pushed the dagger further to his chest, as he hugged her tightly.

The dagger made of silver. It could kill him.

“I will fix this…” he said.
