Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: MATE WITH ALPHA TONY’S DAUGHTER
FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

The only thing that Zenith looked forward when he visited the Moonlight pack was that girl’s attempt to seek for him, to ask about her father.

Her naivety and her desperation were refreshing thing to see for Zenith, because her aim was very clear, not like those people, who talked one thing, but their action aimed for different thing.

He knew, it was bad for him to keep her from meeting her father, but the situation at the palace was more complicated than a seventeen years old Dawn could understand, more so, beta Jason had been adding more proof for Alpha Tony’s wrong conduct during the unrest in the west.

The beta’s intention was very clear. He didn’t mean for the alpha to go out of the dungeon soon. That greedy beta aimed for the tittle of the alpha and his only obstacle was that young girl. She was the direct blood of alpha Tony.

She should be the next in line for the title.

However, from what Zenith heard, that girl had found her destined mate, who was no other than beta Jason’s son, Blake.

“In one way or another, I think he is going to be the alpha, either he acted as the alpha until his son is ready for the role, or he will be the one, who controlled the pack behind his son’s back,” Axel reported to the alpha after he informed him that Dawn tried to sneak into his bedroom again to see him.

“I really don’t like this beta,” Darius groaned. “Poor girl, she doesn’t know that her father’s beta has been planning to betray her father.”

Zenith didn’t say anything, he stared at the dark night, deep in thought, but neither his beta nor his gamma could tell what was in his mind. It was still a mystery.

However, after that, even when Zenith was not around, he would occasionally ask for any news related to Moonlight pack. Therefore, he knew what was going on there.

And one day, after a few months he didn’t return to Moonlight pack, he decided to go there, because there was something that he needed to do. Beta Jason was pressing alpha Tony so hard, he was going to get him hanged.

“Do you think letting her know can help with this plan?” Thean asked the alpha.

“Just tell her when she came.”

“The time is tight for you, Zen. You need to meet with Aurel.” Axel reminded Zenith. It was a regular meeting between Zenith and Aurel, the royal healer. People would be shocked to learn how often Zenith visited the palace.

However, nobody should know about this. It was a secret condition of Zenith that only a handful of people knew.

“Just do it.”

“I can’t understand with this plan,” Darius groaned.

Zenith didn’t mean for Dawn to help with anything, for him to order Theana to let her knew about beta Jason’s intention was for her to be more careful with the beta. If Jason was willing to go extra length to hurt her father and put him down, there was no way, he wouldn’t do anything to Dawn.

Just like what Zenith had predicted, Dawn came to see him again, but this time, Thean told her about beta Jason, as per Zenith’s instruction.

“Are we going back to the capital city tomorrow?” Darius asked.

“We will go tomorrow.”

The next day, very early in the morning, Zenith and his entourage left the pack, he didn’t even meet with beta Jason, which upset the beta.

Once Zenith arrived at the capital city, he went through a secret tunnel to reach an area under the place, where Aurel had been waiting for him.

“Zen, you shouldn’t have gone to Moonlight pack, you should come to me immediately!” Aurel cried to see Zenith’s condition, she looked very sad.

Zenith truly didn’t need her pity party. “Do it now.”

Aurel was used to his cold demeanor, but still it was stung to be treated this way. Her only consolation was the fact, Zenith had never treated anyone warmly and she was the closest woman to him.

“Take off your clothes,” Aurel said and she watched how graceful the way Zenith took off his clothes. His body was a perfect sculpture. The moon goddess must be in a good mood when she created this man.

Zenith took off his clothes and knelt down, while Aurel moved to his back.

On the other hand, Axel and Darius went away, closed the door behind them because they were not going to watch the whole process. It had been like this for years now.

Ever since that night when Zander’s destined mate died, the stone that the previous queen gave to Zenith to calm his beast had shattered, it had turned into dust, which put Zenith’s life at risk.

Because of that, Aurel came to help. She was from the Holy Kingdom and she was a brilliant healer. Though it was not the same like the stone that the previous queen gave to Zenith, but with her healing power and her concoction, she managed to calm Zenith’s beast down significantly.

However, it required for Zenith to have this meeting with Aurel more often than he wanted.

“I will start now,” Aurel said. She placed her palms on his back and a circle of rune appear on his hot skin.

Aurel held back the urge to caress his back and focus on her task.

After an hour, she was done. “I will get you the concoction,” she said. She staggered to get a cup of yellow liquid that she had prepared and gave it to Zenith.

By this time, Zenith had put on his clothes again and gulped down the concoction without even flinched, though the smell was horrendous. He had done this countless times.

“You need to rest. I have prepared a room for you,” Aurel said attentively, but like usual, Zenith would refuse.

With that, Aurel could only stare at his back when he walked away from her. They would meet again next month. That was her only consolation.

Days passed and the schemes in the palace only became worse. People wanted something from Moonlight pack because of its harbor. It was a crucial point to have the harbor, since it was the center of all transaction, where people from different continent came and gone.

“We need to get a hold of Moonlight pack,” Zander said. “You need to be mate with alpha Tony’s daughter.”

Currently, Zander and Zenith had their secret meeting again, under the nose of the people that supported the two of them. They thought that they could pit the two brothers against each other.

“Dawn?” Zenith raised his brows. “She found her destined mate long time ago. The rule of this kingdom will not allow it.”

It didn’t feel right for him, to get Dawn from her own destined mate. Severing someone else’s mate bond was not something that Zenith fond of to do.

“No. Not Dawn.” Zander shook his head. “I managed to get a confession from alpha Tony that he had a daughter from his affair.”

“Who?”

“Emily. I believe you know that girl.”

Indeed. Zenith knew that girl had been bullying Dawn.
