Chapter 94: REGRESSION (2)

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

Two months. Dawn had been unconscious for two months and there was nothing Zenith could do during all that time.

He didn’t even hold his baby because he didn’t feel safe to do so. His beast was still restless, but also because every time he saw the baby, he felt this extreme guilt that kept gnawing at his heart.

Instead, it was the wet nurse and all the servants that took care of Rex, his son. He had provided the baby with everything that he needed, aside from the warmth of his mother and father.

The situation in the capital city escalated, because Zander was reaching the end of his plan, where he would start to get rid of all of those pests, who had been giving them a headache. An unrest would ensue in the capital city soon enough.

Zenith readily drowned himself in all this, to help him cope up with the current situation in the pack.

He was a failure. Not only as a mate, but also as a father. He couldn’t even see his son.

"She is awake?!" Zenith immediately stood up when he heard the news from Fern, but her next words stopped him from rushing to Dawn.

"She doesn’t want to see you, Alpha. She doesn’t even want to see Rex." Fern was crying, she knelt down and looked very pitiful. "Please, don’t go see her right now. I am afraid she will lose it again and it will only do her more harm."

Everyone knew how it looked like when Dawn flipped, no one wanted to see that side of her.

"Zen," Axel said, he blocked Zenith when he didn’t heed Fern’s words and tried to go to Dawn anyway. "She just woke up, why not give her some time? Let her calm down first."

Darius didn’t say anything, he only frowned, while Fern begged the alpha to reconsider it again.

"This is for the Luna’s wellbeing as well." The old woman said, which made Zenith relent.

The unrest in the capital city finally happened and it was pure chaos there. Much to his chagrin, Zenith had to play a double role in this mess, where he had to be careful not to alert the people that supported him, but at the same time, not to let Zander have a reason to behead him.

The atmosphere in the capital is very tense at the moment, until all the traitors were caught and finally Zenith and Zander managed to take them down. People started to learn how deliberately and meticulously both the royal brothers schemed against their enemies.

It was quite shocking, because they all used to think how the king and the alpha from the north were at each other’s throats all the time.

Even though the capital city was in chaos, it didn’t reach the north, since this place was far too away from the chaotic events that happened there.

And once Zenith finally returned to the north, the first thing that he noticed was the fact that his son had grown up. He was walking. That little baby grew up and now, he could see Dawn’s resemblance whenever he was smiling.

He missed so much time. He missed all of his son’s milestones. He didn’t know where everything went so wrong. He used to have everything under his control, but not with Dawn.

When it came to her, everything was out of order.

And on the third day of his return, Dawn came to him. She looked haggard, but her eyes were ablaze with anger.

"I want to see my baby!" She demanded. She looked very livid.

The way Dawn came to him and made this demand made Zenith frown and he told Axel to back off when his beta wanted to take Dawn away.

"Let her be."

There was something wrong. The way Dawn wanted to see her baby was not what Zenith expected, because all this time, he was told that Dawn didn’t want to see their baby.

Zenith never forbade her from seeing their child. This didn’t make sense at all.

"Let’s talk inside." Instead, Zenith took her to his study room. "Only now you ask to see your baby? Did your mind get clouded again? Is the time still slipping through your mind?"

Zenith wanted to gauge her reaction and what actually had happened when he was not here.

And that was it, the answer that Zenith wanted to hear from her mouth. Dawn looked fed up. She was livid, because she thought he had kept her away from her baby. She wanted to see her son and the people around her stopped her from doing so.

"Bring Rex here."

Zenith tried to compose himself. He couldn’t let his anger get the best of him. Everything made sense in his mind right now, as if the puzzle pieces finally fell into the right place.

His body was shaking because of the rage that he tried to hold back, it became more difficult because it was Aurel, who actually brought Rex here.

"Give Rex to her." The alpha’s voice was eerily calm, none of them must have realized it. "She is his mother," he said again. His voice was even.

And there, before his eyes, Zenith watched how Dawn cried her heart out when she was finally able to hug their son for the first time.

And again, Zenith was racked with guilt.

"My son... my son..." Dawn cried so hard, as their little boy looked at his mother with confusion, but he didn’t cry, as if he knew that she was his mother all this time.

"Thank you, Zenith."

Seeing Dawn being very grateful hit Zenith so hard. She shouldn’t have to thank him for letting her see their son. What had he done?

After this, Zenith didn’t let anyone take Rex from her.

Unfortunately, Zenith couldn’t kill Aurel. He could only send her back to the capital city, which meant he had to endure exercising crazy control over his beast.

Everything went well. His relationship with Dawn couldn’t be said to have warmed up, but it was fine. Still, Zenith held a huge resentment at himself for letting her down.

He couldn’t bring himself to get close to her and even when they had to go to the Moonlight pack for the funeral of Alpha Tony, he couldn’t offer his proper condolences and be a shoulder for her to lean on.

It was so weird how emotions worked, because instead of trying to get close to Dawn, Zenith’s guilt made him distance himself from her.

And one day, that nightmare finally came.

Today was a busy day because someone from the Karam continent came to talk about important things. This was a very important meeting, since a few people from the capital city also came.

Knowing Dawn didn’t like this kind of gathering, Zenith didn’t involve her, but he let her know that he couldn’t be disturbed, no matter what the reason.

Recently, Dawn had another episode, even though it was not as often, Zenith could notice her peculiarity. Not only that, he also noticed how she hallucinated on a few occasions.

However, despite his warning, Dawn still came to seek for him, telling him that their son had gone missing.
