Chapter 82: I WILL FIX THIS
***** Zenith’s first life *****
==========================
***Dawn’s POV***
==========================
Blake was stunned, but there was nothing he could do against a four year old little boy, who was glaring daggers at him. He looked like the mini version of Zenith and one could tell that he would grow up to be a fierce alpha one day.
Seeing that, Dawn immediately picked her son up and walked away from Blake. She didn’t want to cause a commotion and with that, Blake lost his only chance to talk with Dawn alone.
"Mama, Did that alpha bully you? Should I tell papa?" Rex cupped Dawn’s face when he talked to her. His blue eyes looked concerned for his mother.
"There is no need for that, honey." Dawn kissed his little hand. "Let’s go home now."
Rex hugged his mother. He was a sweet boy, but he could be very fierce like his father when he wanted.
With that, in the afternoon, Zenith and his little entourage departed from the Moonlight pack.
Once they arrived in the north, they fell back into their old routine. Dawn rarely met with Zenith because he often went to the capital city, but even when he was in the pack, he avoided Dawn.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong, but it was very obvious that Zenith was upset about something. He was upset with her for a reason she didn’t even know.
Since they had never really been on speaking terms, Dawn didn’t think much about it, until one day when Rex disappeared.
He was playing with Dawn in the garden, but suddenly he disappeared and no one saw where the little boy went.
Today was a busy day because someone from the Karam continent came to talk about a few businesses with Zenith, and some people from the capital city also came. The alpha was quite busy.
Still, Dawn sought him. Their son had gone missing, there was no way Zenith would turn blind eyes to that, but that was what he did.
Zenith turned her down. He chased her out of the meeting room.
Left with no other choice, Dawn tried to search for her baby with the other warriors, but when she couldn’t find him even after a few hours, she was forced to go to Zenith again.
Thankfully, this time he took this matter seriously and postponed the meeting with the others. He personally led the warriors to look for their son.
On the other hand, Dawn couldn’t even breathe properly, but she kept looking for her baby. She shifted into her beast and joined the search, but to their horror, the last sign of Rex told them that the little boy had entered the untouched land.
Dawn almost got a heart attack hearing that. The Untouched Land was a forbidden area, where monsters lived freely. That area was populated by so many monsters and even a strong warrior wouldn’t dare to venture too deep into the land.
"Enough! Stay here!" Zenith said angrily, as he held Dawn back. She couldn’t hold her beast form given how exhausted she was, but she still wanted to go to the Untouched Land, which was practically suicide.
After that warning, Zenith led his warriors to enter the land.
It took around three days and the fall of so many warriors for him to be able to finally retrieve their son’s lifeless body.
Everything was a blur to Dawn, she couldn’t even feel her own body when she realized her little boy, the light of her life, was no longer with her.
She didn’t cry, she didn’t move, she didn’t speak. She stayed like that for who knew how long. The funeral came and went just like that.
Once again, Dawn felt like she was under the water. It was hard to breathe, it was a labor to even breath. The pain was too much. She didn’t even remember what she did after that.
She only remembered that she said one thing to Zenith.
"Why didn’t you believe me when I said our son had gone missing?" There were no tears in her dull eyes. "If only you had believed me, my son would still be here with me now."
That was it, after that, Dawn shut herself down. No one could reach her, it was anguish that she felt and she thought she was going to live like that for the rest of her life.
Until one night, when Dawn heard people scream, she heard the pleas of the people in the pack. The gruesome sound when you were on the verge of death. The gurgling sound when you were choked by your own blood.
And after that, everything went quiet. It was eerily quiet.
Dawn didn’t know who had carried out this massacre, but she was more than willing to wait for her turn. She waited in her bedroom. She could see the silhouette of that beast from the crack of her door. The black beast with blood dripping from its dark fur.
However, the beast did nothing.
The black beast stayed like that for a long time instead, licking his wounds.
Dawn didn’t know what happened next, everything was a blur, she only knew the bright light from the sun hurt her eyes and when she opened them, she was already inside a carriage. Someone seemed to have talked to her a couple of times, but she didn’t understand what they were saying and when the carriage door finally opened, she was in a new place, far away from the north.
Dawn didn’t recognize anyone else but Lyra there.
Years later, she learned that Alpha Zenith massacred the whole pack in his rage. He only left Dawn untouched. He even killed his own beta and gamma.
It was crazy, the king had to pass a verdict to kill his own brother.
The people who supported Zenith scattered and changed their tune, as they pledged their loyalty again to the king and received punishment.
Meanwhile, even after ten years, no one had ever seen the alpha from the north again.
A new stronghold was built in the north to prevent the monsters from attacking the nearby villages and the story of the cruel Alpha Zenith became the only topic that people talked about for years.
They were all curious about the alpha’s whereabouts.
Some people said he went to the untouched land and died there, some said he fled the continent and had never returned.
But there was one thing that Dawn was certain about. One day, no matter if it was ten years or ten decades, Zenith would come to see her again.
She believed that, probably because of the mate bond that tied them together.
And she was right.
Fifteen years after the death of their son. She saw that black beast again. He shifted into his human form and under the dimly lit room, Dawn could see his blue eyes.
"I came back. I promise to fix this."
Dawn looked at him. She walked toward him and stabbed him in the chest with the dagger she had kept with her ever since Lyra took her away from the north.
Zenith didn’t fight her back, instead, he grabbed her hand and pushed the dagger deeper into his chest, as he hugged her tightly.
The dagger was made of silver. It could kill him.
"I will fix this..." he said.
