Chapter 90: HE LOVED HER

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

"Come here," Zenith said. His voice was deep and hoarse. Dawn might not notice this, but there was something feral about the alpha at this moment.

He wanted her. His intrusive thoughts bothered him so much, because he wanted to fuck her. He wanted to leave his mark on every inch of her skin. He had been waiting for this moment.

Zenith gritted his teeth. It took all of his self control not to get her right there and then. He wanted to taste her sweetness so badly, sink his teeth in the sweet spot on her neck, leave his mark on her, so people would know she was his.

And when he finally kissed her lips, it was heavenly. He wanted it rough. He wanted to claim her, break her and hear her scream.

Zenith fought with the devil in his head when he mated with her.

She was so sweet, her skin was so tender and the way she moaned drove him insane. He was going to lose it if she were to keep this up.

"There is no going back from this," Zenith growled against her lips. This was a warning, he would understand if he scared her and she wanted to back away, but her reply was not something that he expected.

"The past is not a place I want to visit."

She was willing to give herself to him. Zenith must be insane, but he loved her. The bond he created with Alia was not even as strong as the feelings that he had for Dawn, even though he had not even marked her yet.

He loved this woman.

"It will hurt," Zenith warned her before he thrust into her, but she looked ready for him, which made him hiss with anticipation. He wanted to lose himself in her. He wanted to forget everything and right now, it was only her that mattered in his eyes.

"Do it," Dawn said breathlessly.

And with that permission, Zenith drove himself into her, and buried himself so deep inside. He wanted to be one with her and was desperate for the bond between them. He loved her even before the bond was formed.

He didn’t know when it happened, but he realized it, he had this deep feeling for her.

Zenith wanted it to be as painless as possible for her when he marked her, but this was a serious matter and he had to be careful.

He kissed the sweet spot on her neck and gave her as much as pleasure to alleviate the pain when he finally marked her.

Out there, the night was quiet, while inside their cries and moans echoed throughout the walls.

Once Zenith was done and he saw his mark so fresh on her neck, he smiled in satisfaction, but it did not last long because his heart was gripped with anxiety when he saw how weak Dawn was.

Zenith cleaned her up before he called Aurel to look after her. The room was filled with the smell of the after sex, but the alpha couldn’t care less about that, yet the healer looked so grim.

"She will be fine in a few days." Aurel avoided his eyes.

"Okay, you can leave." That was all he needed to know.

"Zenith," Aurel said, she didn’t immediately leave. "I don’t mind being your mistress. I can do better than her." Aurel was desperate, she threw her dignity out of the window when she begged him to take her.

She could accept it when it was Alia, since she had a high position, but Dawn? She was a nobody. She was no one. Aurel couldn’t accept that she lost to a nobody like Dawn.

However, Zenith saw it as a disrespect when Aurel threw herself at him in front of his mate.

"Get out of here, Aurel, before I call the warriors to drag you out." Zenith looked very grim, his body was trembling, holding back his anger. "I don’t want to hear such things anymore."

Tears streamed down Aurel’s cheeks and she rushed out of the room, even so, Zenith didn’t care. He stayed by Dawn’s side the whole time. He only left when it was necessary.

However, something came up in the harbor of the Moonlight pack during the first week of their ceremony and he had to handle the matter, which caused him to be unable to stay with her as much as he wanted.

Moreover, it took her two weeks to finally wake up and another week to be able to regain her strength.

When it happened, Zenith wanted to introduce her to all the warriors and let her get used to them, but he was a little bit upset to see how friendly Dawn was. She looked happy, but he simply didn’t like how she interacted with them.

Even so, he said nothing.

It was Darius, who noticed that and let Dawn know how her interaction with the warriors was a bit inappropriate. Axel chimed in too. Zenith didn’t know about this.

The beta and the gamma had been feeling not so fond of her lately, because they heard about the way Dawn talked bad and cursed at the alpha from Fern before this, they also knew that Zenith changed their original plan because of her a few times.

To top it off, she didn’t act like a proper luna. Probably, they were only being biased.

Their annoyance toward Dawn only grew when they heard how she sulked and refused to eat while Zenith was literally very busy. She demanded to see the alpha all the time, but she would have this blank face and ignore his presence whenever he went over.

"What does she actually want?" Darius complained. He felt bad for Zenith. Even Axel voiced his displeasure for the way Dawn had been acting lately.

And as if Dawn really wanted to test their patience, Fern came to tell the alpha that she refused to eat again, because she wanted to see him.

"Again?!" Darius had enough of that attitude.

"She wanted to go back to her pack, Alpha," Fern said.

"What?!" Darius stood up. He shook his head, exasperated.

"She wanted to return to her pack now, right away." Fern added.

"She is crazy." Axel scowled.

"Or else, she just didn’t want to eat." Fern looked at the alpha sheepishly when she relayed this information.

This time, Zenith dropped everything and went to see her right away. He looked furious because just a week ago, Dawn starved herself and she fell sick. She just got better, but now she wanted to starve herself again?!

He had given her everything that she wanted, but it was not enough.

"Do you want to starve yourself?!" Zenith couldn’t help it and raised his voice, probably because he was under so much pressure because of a lot of trouble that was going on on Zander’s end.

Therefore, he lashed out at Dawn when she tried to harm herself in the same way as before.

"No. I don’t..."

She even dared to lie when she kept staring at her food and didn’t even touch it!

Zenith took a deep breath, he lowered his voice, because he could see that he scared her. "I will take you back to your pack, now eat your food and don’t make a ruckus."
