Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North
Chapter 101: A PERVERT

Chapter 101: A PERVERT

Zenith didn’t understand a single thing about poison, but he still made it a point to taste the concoction first. At the very least, if there was something wrong with it, he would be able to detect something.

"Do you want me to teach you a thing or two about poison?" Dawn was not serious about it, it was the knowledge she learned from Lyra in her spare time, since she didn’t have a lot of friends to talk to.

However, Zenith was serious when he replied. "Yes, please do." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "But before that, you need to get better first."

Zenith helped her to drink the medicine and she lay down on the bed again. They chatted for a while until her meal arrived and she ate it. Only then did Dawn fall asleep again.

Zenith didn’t go anywhere, and his gamma became frustrated because there were several matters related to the affairs in the north that needed his alpha’s attention.

"What spell did you put on him? He doesn’t leave your side at all," Darius said. He talked in a low voice when he came to their bedroom to hand over the reports Zenith needed to check.

While the alpha was sitting on the sofa to read the reports, Darius tiptoed to the bed and talked to Dawn. He was very frustrated with Zenith.

"Really?"

"You have no idea how intense the protection around your room was during the unrest." Darius shook his head and clicked his tongue. "He didn’t even go out and help his brother during that time."

"I think he had helped the King enough all this time." Dawn shrugged her shoulders. She felt slightly better on the third day after she regained her consciousness, it was just that there were these weird memories that kept popping up in her mind.

Darius grimaced. "That was how Zenith answered too."

Dawn chuckled. "Great minds think alike." She chuckled to see the expression that the gamma made.

"Can you do me a favor and ask Zen to at least finish reading all the reports? He will not listen to me, but when you say it, obviously, it’s a different case."

Darius learned this actually right in the beginning, but the way Zenith treated her after the royal ceremony cemented his assumptions over how deeply the alpha cared for her. Not just because Dawn was the collateral damage between Zenith and Alpha Tony, but also because he truly cared about her.

"Are you trying to pass your responsibilities to me?" Dawn could see through him.

"This is what you call ’asking for help’," Darius corrected her wisely.

Both of them were startled when Zenith suddenly noticed that his gamma had scooted over to talk to his mate. "What are you doing there?"

"Nothing." Darius immediately stood up and rushed out of the room, but before he shut the door behind him, he shouted to his alpha to finish reading the reports by evening and he would come to collect them.

"What were you talking about?" Zenith came over and kissed Dawn’s forehead. He sat down next to her and checked the wound on her neck. The mark was healing really slowly.

"Nothing."

Zenith narrowed his eyes when Dawn chose to be playful, as she answered the same way as Darius did.

"He asked for my help to make sure you read those reports," Dawn said between her chuckles, she was in a good mood.

"I will change your bandage."

Just now Dawn told him not to be tardy with the reports or Darius would cry a river, but the next second the, alpha was ready to tend to his mate again.

"I can ask Celine to do it, the reports..."

Zenith pecked her lips to stop her from talking. "I will change your bandage," he stated, leaving no room for discussion.

Dawn blushed. He became very attentive ever since she woke up and she felt very spoiled by him. "Okay."

Dawn let him change the bandage on her neck, while she ate her food. Zenith was very careful and gentle with her, he would apologize if he touched her wound and made Dawn flinch.

But, what actually overwhelmed her was the part where he put the ointment on her wound and blew on it before he bandaged it.

Dawn felt like her heart would leap to her throat when his warm breath caressed her skin and he was so close to her, which led her mind astray as she remembered the time they mated for the first time. Again. It was embarrassing, but somehow, Dawn relived the memory for more times than she could count.

[If someone knows what I am thinking, will they think I am a girl with loose morals?]

"Actually, people usually think I am the one with loose morals. But, just in case, you can act like a victim."

Dawn was mortified, not because of what Zenith said, but because he actually answered the question in her mind.

"Y- You can hear what I think?"

Zenith pressed his smile to see the panic in her eyes. "We are mates now, you accepted the bond between us, so it is only natural that we can mindlink each other, no?"

Dawn froze. "How long have you been listening to my thoughts?" She didn’t think she wanted to hear the answer.

"Well, you can say that I have been reliving that mating moment alongside you." Zenith chuckled. "What do you think is the reason why I have been staying around? It’s so nice to see it from your perspective."

Dawn felt like she wanted to faint. She wished the ground would crack open and swallow her whole.

She shrieked and pulled the blanket to cover her body and face.

"Come out, you will strain your neck."

"You are a pervert!"

Zenith laughed at the accusation. "As far as I know, you are the one, who has been thinking about that moment, shouldn’t I be the one to call you a pervert?"

"Zenith!"

It’s not fair! Why couldn’t Dawn hear what he was thinking?
