Chapter 91: WHETHER I NEED YOU OR NOT

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

After Zenith promised Dawn that he would take her back to her pack, he could feel his wolf was acting up again.

It was not even a month before the last time he met Aurel. From the looks of it, that darn healer had lowered the dosage of the concoction she gave him, so he would look for her more often.

Recently, she had been very aggressive with her advances, but every time, Zenith would put her in her place, which made her unhappy and this was her way of sulking.

Actually, there was a way to get the ingredients of the concoction she made for him, but he didn’t want to resort to that extreme method... at least, not yet.

Zenith couldn’t stay there for long. He needed to find Aurel. Therefore, before he could listen to Dawn’s answer or before she could explain herself, he left to find Aurel.

However, that woman had the audacity to reject him. She refused to meet with him, just like how Zenith didn’t want to see her.

"Should I drag her here?" Darius suggested. He was annoyed by the way Dawn was acting out, but even more with Aurel’s childish behavior. She actively put the alpha in danger.

Meanwhile, Axel didn’t say anything, he glanced at Zenith, who then stood up and went to get the healer himself.

"That healer is getting more and more bold." Darius clicked his tongue. "Just because she knew how to tame Zenith’s beast, she thinks she is someone important. Really, if there is a way to go on without her help, Zenith should just do it."

"There is a way," Axel said, he gave Darius a meaningful look and the gamma understood.

"Well, that will be the last resort. If she kept going on like this, I am sure, once Zenith got fed up, he was going to resort to that way eventually."

"Yeah. That day will come sooner than expected if she keeps testing the alpha’s patience." Axel agreed. His only worry was the aftermath of it, because it would be ugly.

Meanwhile, Zenith went to Aurel’s bedroom. She refused to see Zenith and said if the alpha needed something from her, he would be the one who came to look for her, not the other way around.

Zenith entered her room. There was no knock on the door or anything, he simply opened the door and went inside to find Aurel lounging on the sofa, she was startled and immediately stood up.

No matter how cocky she was, it was still terrifying to see the look on Zenith’s face right now.

"Are you going to do it this way?" Zenith asked. He slammed the door behind him so hard, it creaked in protest and made Aurel jump in fear.

"Z- Zenith..."

"Do you want me to write to Holy Kingdom?" Zenith leaned his back against the door. He didn’t want to enter this room further. This room was thick with her scent and it was really disgusting. "If you refuse to do this when it’s the only thing that you are useful for, then there is no need for you to stay here. I expect you to leave this pack as soon as possible. Don’t let me see you in the morning."

It was not every day Zenith would talk to Aurel this long, but this time, he put a little bit effort just to make himself clear. Aurel was too stubborn to see what was right for her.

"Zenith..."

"I am an alpha, address me properly."

After saying that, he turned around. If Aurel thought her petty tricks could make Zenith beg her, there must be something completely wrong with her mind. Zenith would never lower himself to beg someone.

He was not only an alpha, he was part of the royal family, even among the alphas, he had the higher status and was only second to the king.

For Aurel to call him by his name alone, because she thought she was on the same level as his beta and gamma, had already crossed so many lines, but then Zenith was not someone who liked to argue about such trivial things.

"I- I will do it! I will do it! I am sorry..."

Zenith glanced at her and then went away. He waited for her in the empty room next to her room, while Aurel prepared the concoction. He could feel his beast become very restless and he instructed all the warriors to leave the area.

It took some time for Aurel to prepare the concoction and when she was done, she came to the room.

"Take off your clothes," Aurel said. This was the same ritual that Zenith had grown sick of. His mind darted to kill this healer.

With his back to the door, and because of how restless he was whenever he was during his episodes, he didn’t realize there was someone who was watching this....

The next few months, Aurel was well behaved, she no longer pulled such petty tricks, which usually upset Zenith. She was more likable than usual, at least Darius and Axel felt so.

However, the alpha remained unfazed like usual. The only thing that he noticed was the fact that Dawn spent more time in the greenhouse. Fern said that she was doing idle things with the plants there and she still refused to see him.

Not only that, he also learned that she had been acting out lately from Fern. She slapped her two personal servants and tried to harm herself. Zenith didn’t see it for himself because he was away when she tried to harm herself, but the news really pissed him off, especially when several servants vouched for Fern.

But then, one day she came to him with an accusation against Aurel that she had been poisoning her.

"The mushroom will make you have illusions, Zenith you need to believe me!"

Zenith could see the desperation in her eyes, but he was not sure how to believe her after all the things that she had done. She would be spacing out time and again and then act out, but then calm down again.

What now? Was she trying to frame someone now? Because acting out was not enough for her to get his attention?

"I didn’t slander her name! She did give me Iluptic Mushroom! You need to ask someone to check on it!"

Darius and Axel looked so done with her. The two of them felt annoyed with the way Dawn behaved and how she didn’t live up to her title as the Luna of the pack.

But, Zenith did exactly that, though he didn’t let her know about it.

"So, her accusation is right?" Zenith asked coldly. He had his hand wrapped around Aurel’s neck tightly. It only took a little bit of pressure and he would be able to snap her neck.

"Alpha... please... you need me... you can’t kill me."

Zenith smirked, but Aurel could feel a shiver run down her spine when she saw that smirk. This was not something that you wanted to see after all.

"Let’s see, whether I need you or not." Zenith put more pressure on her neck.
