Chapter 100: SHE WAS AWAKE

Chapter 100: SHE WAS AWAKE

"Thank heavens, you killed her in your previous life." Zander didn’t really like Aurel. He only hated her more when she started showing interest in Zenith, because she had crossed so many lines by doing so.

However, because her role was crucial in taming Zenith’s beast, the two of them couldn’t do anything about it.

"Why only now? We could have gotten rid of Aurel quickly if you don’t need her."

They could use another healer for the healing power that Zenith needed alongside the concoction, thus without Aurel around they would be fine.

Their problem was; Aurel had been withholding the ingredients for the concoction, because she knew, without it, she was useless to Zenith.

"I only remembered it now," Zenith replied. He only remembered the ingredients for the concoction when he almost forced a mark on Dawn two weeks ago.

"Are there more memories that you still couldn’t remember?"

"I am not sure."

Zenith didn’t have any desire to remember anything at this point, he only wanted to make sure that his mate would wake up soon. That was all he was concerned about now.

"Zen, do you think there will be a consequence for this?"

Zenith glanced at him. "I don’t know." He didn’t even think about the consequences. Everything was fine with him as long as he could obtain her forgiveness.

Yet, how could he ask for her forgiveness? By telling her about their first life? Would that help? Or let her be in the dark, because this kind of story was not something that you would be fond of.

He didn’t need to cause her heartache by telling her about the life she didn’t experience in this lifetime.

"We really need to write for Zaya to return."

Zenith didn’t say anything.

And when Zander stood up from his chair, the sky had turned so bright. They spent the entire night discussing this matter.

"What about the councilors and the elders? What are you going to do about them?"

"What did I do in your first lifetime?"

"You killed them all."

"Well, that’s what I am going to do now." Zander stretched his body. "They had been a pain in the ass for so long. It’s time to put the gallows for good use."

With that, Zander left the room and issued an order to kill all the people who got involved in the coup. The investigation about it was still going on and there were many people being captured every day.

There were around a hundred people, who would be hanged a week from now and it would be done in public, so people could see what kind of punishment they would get for committing treason.

Three days later, Dawn finally opened her eyes. She looked pale and lethargic.

"I will call a healer," Zenith said.

Despite the uproar out there, the alpha couldn’t care less about anything. His role to help Zander was done. They reached their goal.

As for the mess in the palace, he burdened Zander with it fully, since he was the king.

Right now, Zenith only wanted to focus on his mate.

"How is she?" Zenith asked Celine, she was Lance’s mate, but as a healer, her power was not really remarkable compared to Aurel, but she was the only healer available right now aside from Aurel.

"She will be fine," Celine said, she smiled at Zenith and resigned herself. She was going to make a concoction for her.

"How do you feel?" Zenith sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand gently, as if she were so fragile and a little bit of pressure would break her.

He was not exaggerating, because right now, Dawn looked really weak.

"Thirsty..." she said in a hoarse voice.

Zenith immediately went to pour a cup of water for her and helped her to sit down, so she wouldn’t choke when she drank.

"I had a nightmare."

The cup stilled mid air, Zenith felt his heart stop beating for a second. "What nightmare?" He resumed helping her to drink.

Dawn drank the whole cup of water and when Zenith offered to get more for her, she rejected it softly and continued with her statement about the nightmare.

"It’s very sad... I feel like my heart will burst with sadness..."

Zenith gritted his teeth. He put down the empty cup and held her hands again. "What made you sad?"

He was still unsure about telling her about their first lifetime, but now, Dawn saw it on her own. She lived in those memories during her unconscious state after being marked? Was that how it worked?

Zenith couldn’t say for sure.

Zander was right, they really needed Zaya to return. Their little sister had spent almost all her life in the Holy Kingdom. She was more knowledgeable about magic than anyone else here.

"I feel like I lost something... something precious to me, something so dear to me..." Dawn frowned. "But, I can’t remember what it was."

Suddenly a tear fell down her cheek and she chuckled awkwardly, as she wiped her face.

"Oh, why am I crying?" Dawn looked surprised with her own reaction, but all she knew was her heart was in so much pain. "I don’t even remember what I dreamt about, but I feel so sad."

Carefully, Zenith hugged her, as Dawn cried for an hour straight about something that she couldn’t remember clearly.

"I am sorry, I am really sorry..."

Dawn didn’t know why Zenith kept apologizing to her, but she felt his apology was really comforting, somehow, it resonated so well with the weird sadness that she was feeling right now.

Once Dawn had calmed down, Zenith tucked her in and Celine came in with a concoction for her.

"You don’t think she will poison me, right?" Dawn asked, after crying for so long, she felt her heart was a little bit lighter.

She teased Zenith when she saw him taking a sip of her concoction.

"Do you even know whether it’s poisoned or not?"

Dawn was right. Zenith didn’t know.
