Chapter 81: GOING BACK TO MOONLIGHT PACK

*****Author’s note: For readers who are confused with the new volume. This is Zenith’s first life. As you can see, it’s about rebirth. The reason why Zenith felt this strong regret for Dawn and why he seemed to know her even when they just met. The previous volume is about his second chance life. He turned back time to correct all the mistakes he had made.

And in this volume, it’s about his first life from Dawn’s perspective. Dawn got to see what actually happened in his first life after Zenith marked her after the royal ceremony.

Hope it helps.*******

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

Dawn spent most of her time with her son. Her relationship with Zenith didn’t get better, but it didn’t turn worse either. They simply lived in two different worlds.

Aurel would come every now and then, but they had never really encountered each other and it seemed, Rex didn’t remember her once she had gone to the capital city for a long time. It was a relief for Dawn because she didn’t think she wanted that woman around her son anymore.

Her mind would still be clouded with confusion occasionally, but it was not as often as before, though there were times when she felt time slip through her fingers again.

This ’losing time’ worried her the most, especially when she was with Rex. One time, she was playing with Rex, but everything turned fuzzy, her mind lost its focus out of the blue and the next thing she knew, it was already dark and she lost Rex in the garden.

Her son had wandered somewhere, but she didn’t even realize that.

Thankfully, Zenith was in the pack, he immediately deployed his warriors to search for the three years old boy, while Dawn kept apologizing and crying.

Fortunately, they managed to find Rex two hours later, he was fine but crying for his mother. People started to argue and make demands for the alpha to separate Rex from Dawn, because she was not fit to be a mother and take care of his firstborn.

However, Zenith didn’t say anything and let Dawn spend her time with Rex as usual, instead a few more warriors started patrolling around the pack house to prevent the same thing from happening again.

And for that, Dawn was very grateful.

"Thank you for letting me spend time with Rex," Dawn said one night when she met Zenith after she put Rex to sleep.

"You are his mother."

That was all Zenith told her. He seemed to want to say something more, but he held himself back and only patted her head.

"Go back to your room. It’s cold out here."

That was it. Dawn couldn’t even say that they were in a relationship. The mate bond between them was getting weaker by the day and the more she thought about it, the more it made her heart ache.

And one day, when Rex was four years old, Zenith came to her bedroom. He just returned from the capital city and informed her that her father had passed away.

"I am sorry." That was the only condolence Zenith could offer her.

Dawn didn’t know what to feel about this and she was not even sure if she should cry for the death of her father. It had been so long, a very long time, she had mourned him a long time ago and now her father was only a fuzzy memory in her mind.

However, Zenith still took her to the Moonlight pack, where they would bury the former alpha’s dead body.

It had been nine years since the last time Dawn was here. There were so many things that had changed. She could no longer recognize this place. The place where she grew up...

"Mama... are we going to see your father?" Rex asked, he sat on Zenith’s lap, as Dawn fed him fruit.

"Yes."

People talked about the reason why they were heading to the Moonlight pack, Rex must have heard that from them.

"How are you feeling?"

"I don’t know." Dawn stared at the clear sky. "Confused. I don’t feel sad anymore. Just... confused..."

Blake was the Alpha of the pack now, he got the title from his father, as Alpha Jason became the alpha not long after Dawn left the pack.

And it was not a surprise that Emily became the luna of the pack. She had three children with Blake. The oldest was only two years older than Rex.

At the entrance gates, Blake and Emily waited for them. This must be the first time for them to see Dawn again after almost a decade.

However, Dawn was not thrilled to see them. If there was someone that she wanted to meet, it would be Lyra. The healer.

"Welcome back, Dawn," Emily said, while Blake stood next to her, staring at her with that unfathomable gaze.

"Luna Dawn." Zenith corrected her. "She is my mate. The Luna of the pack."

Emily looked embarrassed when Zenith called her out. Thankfully, there were no more incidents after that. Everything went well, the funeral passed peacefully and the sky was bright. It was a perfect day for a reunion.

"Luna Dawn," Lyra called her.

"Just Dawn, Lyra." Dawn hugged the healer and introduced her son. "This is Rex, say hello to mama’s friend."

Lyra gushed over the cute little boy and then they started to have a small talk about what had happened in the past few years.

"I am glad that everything turned out well for you and you didn’t need to go to the west and look for Rye and Lucia."

Dawn completely forgot about their conversation related to that matter and only remembered it now.

"Are you living your life well?" Lyra asked with concern in her voice.

Dawn was silent for a while when she heard the question, but then she looked at her son. Rex was sleeping on her lap. "Yes."

Even after everything, her life was still well, because she had her son. Rex was the only amazing thing that happened to her after everything she went through.

"I am glad to hear that..."

Zenith didn’t want to stay for long in that pack, nor did Dawn, thus they decided to return to the north the next day of the funeral itself.

From what Dawn learned, Ava exposed Jason’s affair with Julia. To handle the situation and the backlash from the people, who had disliked Julia because of her affair with the former Alpha Tony, Jason stepped down from his position as the alpha. That was why Blake could step up, even though the pack members did not really respect him since his affair with Emily came to light.

It was true that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree...

"Dawn, can we talk?" Blake asked. He finally got a chance to meet with Dawn when Zenith was not around and gathered the courage to approach her before her departure.

"There is nothing to talk about." Dawn turned him down. She didn’t want to be seen with him.

"Dawn please," Blake pleaded, he grabbed her hand to stop her from walking away.

However, he immediately let go of her hand when Rex came to bite him. "Don’t touch my mama!" The little boy glared at him.
