Chapter 102: MEMORIES OF THE PAST LIFE

"How do you block your mind?" Dawn asked. She was afraid that Darius might be able to hear what she was thinking, but Zenith reassured her that the gamma couldn’t do that because the two of them were not that close just yet.

"Have you never used mindlink in your pack?" This came as a surprise to Zenith. Now he noticed how they had never had a mindlink between the two of them in his first life.

"I remembered that I used to be able to mindlink my father a few years after I shifted for the first time, but after that, I couldn’t do it anymore."

"Don’t you feel a little bit odd about not being able to do it?"

Dawn thought about that for a while, but she shook her head. "No. I didn’t talk to him very often. I don’t think losing my ability to mindlink with him bothered me, so I have never noticed if it’s something important."

Zenith then explained to her the reason why she couldn’t use the mindlink anymore, it was because the bond between them had faded away. They were emotionally detached from each other.

"Well, that makes sense." Dawn was still hiding under the blanket, only her eyes could be seen, as she sang a lullaby in her mind to distract herself from thinking something that would make her embarrassed. "How to block my mind now?"

Zenith laid next to her. "Why should I teach you when I enjoy listening to what you are thinking?"

"Zenith, you can’t do that to me!" Dawn was so upset, she came out from under the blanket and bit his arm. "I will not let go until you tell me how."

"You can bite me as long as you like, Dawn, I don’t mind it," Zenith said, as he caressed her head. "But, don’t strain your neck, your wound still has not properly healed yet."

Dawn gave up. She was not serious when she bit him and he knew that, but in the end, Zenith told her how to do it.

It was a pretty simple technique, you only needed to concentrate, but if you did it often, you would be able to do it naturally without even thinking about it, just like breathing.

It took Dawn a whole two weeks to be able to come out again and she felt better. The wound on her neck had healed by this time too and she would often stare at the mirror, admiring the mark on her neck.

"Do you like it so much?" Zenith asked, he hugged her from behind, while Dawn was still wrapped in the towel after taking a bath. He nuzzled her neck and it made Dawn moan when he kissed the mark on her neck.

"It looks good on me," Dawn answered sheepishly and Zenith liked it.

"Have you cleaned your body thoroughly?" He asked slyly.

"Of course."

"Hm. I doubt that..." Zenith turned her body around and took off her towel smoothly, Dawn didn’t have time to defend herself. "I need to check."

Dawn gasped when her naked body was exposed before her mate’s eyes. Zenith had always been playful and teasing her mercilessly recently, it almost felt like he had been in a very good mood lately.

Usually, Dawn would cower away, but not this time. She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes.

Well, two people could play this game, right?

"What? Do you like what you see?" Dawn wanted to kick herself for using that cheesy line, but since she couldn’t take back what she said, she would just go with it.

Lust flickered across Zenith’s eyes and the alpha was not shy about it, which left Dawn flustered. A fiery flush crept across her face, down to her neck and her chest.

"Hm. I am not sure. Let me inspect closely." Zenith took a step closer and pinned her to the wall, as he caressed her body. Dawn could feel his hardness against her stomach. "Your neck is fine," Zenith said, as he kissed her neck and then down to her breasts. "Your breasts were fine too... You armpits too."

"Zen!" Dawn laughed because it was ticklish.

"Be good, I am not done yet." And now Zenith was kneeling down in front of her. "Let me check down here..."

"Zen!" Dawn’s laugh died in her throat, as she looked mortified when Zenith kissed her down there. How could he do that! Was it even appropriate to do that?!

She could feel his warm breath between her legs as his warm tongue pressed against her opening. This left her breathless. There was this tension that knotted in her stomach.

"This is... this is not right..."

Was this right? Were people used to doing it this way? Dawn didn’t know, she had no idea, nor did she have any experience about it.

But... It felt good.

Dawn slipped and now Zenith could read her mind and was no longer hesitant to please her. She grabbed his shoulders to steady herself, but her claws accidentally elongated and stabbed him, yet Zenith didn’t seem to care, as he knew she almost reached her climax.

And when she came undone, there was this vivid memory that rushed back as well.

The memory of pain. Her pain of losing her son. This was the forgotten dream that she kept having every night since she woke up.

But now, it became clearer, as if it was not only a dream, but something that she just experienced. For a moment, Dawn was caught between the pleasure and the pain, the agony and grief.

She saw with her own eyes the bloody cloak, with which Zenith brought back the remains of her son. She remembered how people scowled at her. The people in the north, the people in the Moonlight pack.

"Dawn! Dawn!"

Zenith shook her body, he was already standing and looking at her face. Tears streamed down her cheeks and through the mate bond, he could see how the memories of their past life flooded her mind.
