Chapter 87: THE CHANGE OF PLAN (2)

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

"Alpha Zenith?" Lyra stood up when she saw the alpha enter the room. The healer had heard that the plan had changed and now, he was going to take Dawn instead of Emily, which was understandable because Dawn had not been marked yet.

"How is she?" Zenith asked, he walked toward the bed and stared at her sleeping face. Tears still streamed down her cheeks, even when she was unconscious.

"She is not in a good condition," Lyra replied honestly. "I don’t think she will be able to go through the storm."

Zenith didn’t give any response to that, but he asked her to leave the room, which made the healer feel uneasy.

"Leave."

In the end, Lyra couldn’t deny his order. She had no other choice but to leave the room.

Finally left alone with Dawn, Zenith sat on the edge of her bed. This must be the closest he got to her after all these years.

And here, Dawn was crying again. That little girl, who lost her mother more than a decade ago, was crying again because she lost her mate this time.

Zenith stretched out his hand and caressed her head, but he didn’t say anything. He wiped her tears and then left the room.

The alpha ignored the healer’s request to let Dawn stay in the pack until she felt better. Once the storm passed, he requested for the most comfortable carriage in this pack to bring her to the north.

She was still unconscious when Zenith carried her in his arms to the carriage and that stupid young man dared to block his way.

"If you don’t step away from my face in this instance, I am going to kill you." Zenith didn’t raise his voice, but the threat was loud and clear. He was not playing when he warned him to get out of his way.

Beta Jason immediately dragged his son, who tried to stop Zenith from taking his mate, away. He reminded Zenith that Dawn was his mate, as if it could help his case and stop the alpha from taking her away.

This was one of the reasons why Zenith wanted to take Dawn away from her pack as soon as possible. He knew Blake would harass her. Beta Jason would scheme against her and no one could protect her here.

He needed to take her away for her own safety, so she could heal faster from the rejection. Out of sight, out of mind.

Dawn would wake up a few times, or Zenith would wake her up to eat something, but she was not in her right mind. He didn’t think she realized where she was, because she didn’t even ask why she was in a moving carriage and why Zenith was the one who fed her.

Once Zenith arrived at the pack house in the north, Aurel was waiting for him. She came for their monthly ’meeting’ and also because she brought a letter from the king.

Zander had learned about the situation in the Moonlight pack, he only reminded him about their plan to kill his mate after he mated and marked Dawn.

Zenith threw the letter in the fireplace. "Go and check her condition first."

"Why should I?" Aurel was not happy because she had to check on that woman’s condition, the woman that would be Zenith’s mate.

However, one look from Zenith was enough to make her relent. She went to check on that woman, while Zenith wrote a reply to his brother.

After that, Zenith called for Fern.

"I want you to prepare two girls for Lady Dawn. They will be her personal maids." Zenith didn’t want her to be alone, thus two girls would be enough to accompany her. "I want maids, who are cheerful and obedient."

"Yes, Alpha." Fern nodded, but then she asked again. "Is she... our future luna?"

"Do what I said, Fern." Zenith didn’t reply to that question. "Let me know when she is awake."

Fern nodded her head. She did what Zenith told her to do and looked for two servants that fit the criteria the alpha mentioned. She did that and more...

"Lady Dawn was throwing a tantrum. She wanted to return to her pack and said that she was not willing to meet you, Alpha..." Fern said.

"Really?" Darius asked. "She was throwing a tantrum?" As far as he remembered, Dawn had never done something like that. He knew her enough from all the reports that Zenith received.

"Yes. She also..."

"What?" Axel prodded.

"She cursed at the Alpha. She hates you because you took her here."

"Well... I think it’s not really a wise decision to take her here without talking to her first." Darius clicked his tongue. A little bit disappointed. But then, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. They were going to kill her anyway.

"Maybe she is still shocked because of the rejection." Axel tried to reason with that.

"Let her be," Zenith said.

With that, Zenith didn’t go to see Dawn, because every time, Fern would say that Dawn didn’t want to see him and how much she hated him.

Because of that also, Zenith put distance between them.

It was his mistake for never checking on her directly, since they had never been on speaking terms. The only time they had a conversation was before she rejected Blake. That was all.

At the very least, in Zenith’s mind, he could give her some peace by not meeting her when she didn’t want to.

Fern’s words held true when Dawn avoided the areas he visited frequently. Seeing this, his beta and gamma were not happy, but they didn’t voice it. They were mostly annoyed with Dawn’s ’tantrums’.

Moreover, there was another urgent matter that Zenith had to handle. Zander had been sending more and more letters to him, asking about the ceremony for Dawn. He had to mate and mark her, only then they could kill her.

With that, they could finally start their plan in the Moonlight pack, using Dawn’s death as their leverage to intervene with the matters in the harbor.

At the same time, they could help Zenith avoid the prophecy, since they had killed his mate before she could kill him.

"We are going to leave for the capital city tomorrow," Zenith said one night to his gamma.

"Suddenly?"

Zenith didn’t answer, he was not in a good mood because he saw Dawn avoiding him yet again by walking away from his quarters.

With that, Zenith left for the capital city for three months.

However, three months became half a year, which then turned into one year. There was this main contention between Zander and Zenith, where the latter didn’t want to compromise.

"Do you like her?" Zander narrowed his eyes when he noticed Zenith’s unwillingness to mate and mark Dawn. "Did you take a fancy to her?"

"I didn’t."

"But, your actions say otherwise."

Zenith didn’t answer and Zander didn’t need to be a genius to know what he said was right. "Damn it, Zen." He shook his head and took off his golden mask. He was speechless. "Now, you are in charge of thinking of how to get the Moonlight pack under our control."
