Chapter 92: LITTLE LIGHT

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

"Zen! Stop it!" Darius immediately rushed to save Aurel from Zenith’s clutch. The healer would have died had the gamma been even a tad late. "No! Zen! You can’t kill her!"

Zenith had investigated what Dawn said and the truth came to light. As it turned out, she was saying the truth. Aurel had been giving her Illuptic Mushroom, just like what she said. The Luna didn’t accuse the healer, but was telling the truth.

After learning it, Zenith’s wrath reached the roof. He literally dragged Aurel to the dungeon and was going to kill her there after he tortured her. He couldn’t care less about the reason why she was here. He didn’t even think of the consequences for himself if he killed her.

The only thing that was in Zenith’s mind was the fact that Aurel had poisoned Dawn.

"Stop it, Zen!" Axel joined Darius to push Zenith away and prevented him from crushing Aurel’s neck, while the healer looked like she was going to faint at any moment. "Enough Zen!"

"Damn! Why he is so fucking strong?!" Darius groaned because he couldn’t make Zenith take even a step back, despite him using all of his strength.

Thankfully, with the joint effort from Darius and Axel, Aurel’s life was saved. But, probably it was because Darius mentioned Dawn and how Zenith had to focus on her and her health after she consumed the poison.

"Tell me now, what are the side effects of the poison?" Zenith growled. He still needed her to live to answer this question.

Aurel didn’t answer immediately. She coughed so hard, she saw black dots in her vision, while her throat burned painfully. It was so hard to breathe at this point and she felt like she was going to die at any minute.

Aurel gulped in the air greedily. She looked very pathetic, yet Zenith didn’t have a spec of pity for her.

"Nothing, there are no side effects. She will be a little bit confused, but that’s all, and once she stops consuming it, she will be fine..."

"Zen, I believe Dawn has stopped consuming that now, she will be fine. So, there is no need for this." Darius stood between Zenith and Aurel, not because he was fond of the healer, but because what she had done was completely messed up.

However, if they harmed her more than this and Zenith really killed her, they would get more trouble than they could deal with, especially if the Holy Kingdom started to get their nose into their business.

Zander would be enraged too. Zenith had compromised with their plan a lot already.

For a moment, Darius thought the alpha wouldn’t listen, while Axel immediately dragged Aurel out of Zenith’s sight, just in case seeing her would cloud his mind.

"Stay away from me," Zenith growled and then stormed away.

Anger was an understatement because right now what Zenith felt made his blood boil and his beast was beyond enraged.

Once he was in the open area, he shifted into his beast and dashed toward the forest, where he went to the Untouched Land. This area was where the monsters lived.

Their pack guarded the north because the monsters from the Untouched Land often attacked this part of the kingdom, therefore, the northern pack was the stronghold against the monsters in the Untouched Land.

No one dared to enter this area without great preparation, not to mention, alone.

However, Zenith actually visited this area more often than people knew, because only in this place he could let his beast lose whenever he was having an episode. He could tire his beast out until he could feel himself again.

And that was what he was doing right now.

He fought countless monsters starting from when the first light of the moon shone on the ground, until the first rays of sunlight filtered through the branches.

When he finally returned to the pack, his body was covered in blood.

Zenith refused to meet with anyone for two days straight, which left Axel and Darius in distress because there were a few things that they needed their alpha’s opinion on. Since they were not given a bigger picture of the plan and only got random assignments, they couldn’t guess which direction they had to head for his plan.

Thankfully, on the third day, Zenith started to go out again, but the first thing he did was to go to Dawn’s bedroom.

Axel and Darius couldn’t even complain about that, since Zenith looked like he could only hold his composure when he was around that woman.

But actually, it was a good thing, because their relationship seemingly took a better turn. They finally started to act like the alpha and the luna of the pack, not just because of the title. They even seemed genuine to each other.

"I don’t like eating alone, can you come early? At least, to have dinner with me?"

Zenith was surprised with Dawn’s sudden request. He could feel a small smile tugging up the corners of his lips when he saw the way she blushed and acted awkwardly.

By this time, Aurel had left the pack for three months. After that night in the dungeon, Axel sent her away.

"Okay." Zenith kept his promise.

She didn’t like to eat alone, thus no matter how busy Zenith was, he would drop everything he was doing and go to have lunch or dinner with her. At the very least, he would have one meal together with his mate if he was in the pack.

"You are spacing out again," Zenith stated, he stretched his hand and caressed her cheek. "Do you have something on your mind?"

Dawn shook her head and smiled at him. "No. I am happy."

Zenith was taken aback with that sudden confession, his hand stilled and right now, there was nothing more important to him than this woman.

"Can I kiss you?"

"You don’t have to ask for permission."

"I will not ask for your permission next time."

Zenith leaned over and captured her lips. She was very sweet and addicting. She was everything that he needed and wanted.

"I am happy too," Zenith said against her lips.

He hoped their happiness would last forever. And when Zenith thought he couldn’t be happier than this, one day he saw it.

He saw that little light.

He couldn’t believe it.

The concoctions and the treatment from Aurel weren’t supposed to allow him to see this kind of thing anymore. Those should calm his beast down, but somehow, he could see it.

Was it because it was his... child? His baby with her?

"You are pregnant," Zenith blurted it out when Dawn felt off with herself.

"What?"

Zenith could see the look of disbelief in her eyes, but somehow it only made her look adorable. He kissed the tip of her nose.

"How do you know that?"

"I just know." He kissed her again. "Believe me, I know." He watched the little light twirl above her head. He chuckled, but Dawn took it as though he was messing around with her.

Especially when she got the pack healer to check on herself and the woman said she was not with a baby yet.

However, what Zenith said was proven right a few days later.
