Chapter 97: DEATH SENTENCE

FIRST LIFE

(((ZENITH’S POV)))

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

The Ogregon continent was in utter chaos again, but this time the eye of the storm was the north. Alpha Zenith massacred all the people in his pack and only left his mate untouched after the death of his son.

People talked about this and the rumors that spread around only went farther and farther from the truth.

They were mortified with the fall of the northern pack, but at the same time, they wanted to hear more about what happened to the alpha, who went insane in grief.

This would be recorded in history and there wouldn’t be any justification for what Zenith had done.

However, after that night, the alpha was nowhere to be found. He vanished. No one knew about his whereabouts. A lot of the royal warriors had gathered in the north, but they couldn’t find him at all. There was no sign of him and there was no clue about where he had gone.

People were scared, because they believed the alpha had gone crazy and would start his killing spree again.

Everyone demanded for the king to give a death sentence to his own brother. Despite the revelation and the fact that they had been working together all this time, people didn’t trust Zenith anymore. They wanted him to be dead.

There were so many conspiracy theories that circled around among the people.

The tension and the demands didn’t cease at all ever since they learned about what happened in the north.

Three months later, the king finally issued his verdict to kill Alpha Zenith.

"I have told you so many times not to make me issue a death sentence to my own brother," Zander said grimly, as he stood in front of Zenith.

The wind from the harbor blew coldly and in the distance, they could see the ship that was approaching.

"How did you end up like this?" Zander couldn’t understand.

Zenith didn’t need to kill his whole pack, he only needed to kill those who were responsible for the death of his son.

Apparently, it was his own warriors that had done it. They didn’t know the result would be like this, because in their minds, they were helping Fern save their future alpha from the clutches of his abusive mother.

Yes, people thought Dawn was abusive because Fern had spread the rumors.

Apparently, two of the warriors took Rex near the forest when he played hide and seek with his mother and told him to hide there, while they waited for Fern, so the old lady could come play with Rex, but they didn’t realize when Rex wandered off and entered the forest grounds alone.

Fern did show up, albeit very late, because Dawn made a big ruckus when she figured Rex was nowhere to be found and after that, the situation just escalated out of control.

"Dawn?" Zenith asked.

His face was hidden under the hoodie of the thick cloak that he was wearing. His ship was already here and probably this was the last time he would be in this continent.

"She is in good hands. Someone from her pack took her in." Zander glared at Zenith, he didn’t know whether he had to hate his brother for his impulsive actions, or he had to remind him about the prophecy.

Yes, he was not literally dead, like what was mentioned in the prophecy, but it seemed death would sound more merciful for him right now.

"Don’t you have anything to say?" Zander asked when Zenith turned around to leave.

But, he got nothing. Zenith didn’t want to say anything. He only had one goal in his mind; to find Aurel. That wench was the main reason for all these misunderstandings and all the unnecessary pain that he and Dawn had to endure.

The healer returned to the Andelus continent the moment she learned that Zenith had killed the whole pack within one night.

Probably, she could sense his wrath from afar and no matter how much she loved him, there was no way she would wait for him to hunt herself down.

Call this an intuition, but Aurel seemed to know that Zenith would come after her.

The reason Zenith had to leave this continent was not only because he needed to avoid Zander’s death sentence, but also because he needed to get his hands on her.

"I guess not." Zander clicked his tongue, as he watched Zenith’s retreating back. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Tonight was a full moon and the reflection of the moon could be seen on the surface of the dark sea. Once again, Zander lost one of his people...

"Am I cursed to be alone?" The king wondered.

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

It took seven days for Zenith to reach the Andelus continent. Thankfully, he paid close attention to his lessons on the Andel language when he was little, therefore, there was no problem for him to be here on his own.

This continent had changed since the last time he was here... was it twenty years ago? Twenty two years ago? Zenith couldn’t remember, but it didn’t seem like it would matter anymore.

Zenith sat in a restaurant in his inn and chose a table close to the window, where he sat waiting for someone.

It had been so long since the last time he met her or even wrote to her.

And there, someone entered the restaurant, her scent reached him first and when he turned his head, he saw a young woman, with bright blue eyes and curly, auburn hair that reached her waist, breeze in.

She looked regal, calm and composed, as if there was nothing in this whole world that could disturb her peace.

Her scent felt very familiar and he sensed this feeling of longing. It was so weird, since he had not felt anything ever since that bloody night.

However, instead of a warm hug or anything like that, that woman actually kicked his leg when she finally reached him. She looked so mad, but worried at the same time.

"What have you done, Zen?!" She hissed in a low voice and scooted over to sit next to him, so she could pinch or punch him as she pleased, showing how mad she was.

"Long time no see, Zaya."

"Long time no see, my ass, you just annihilated your whole pack! How could you do that?!" Zaya gritted her teeth, but when Zenith didn’t say anything, she took a deep breath to calm her emotions and then gave her big brother a brief once-over. "Are you okay?" Concern laced her voice.

No. He was anything, but fine.

"Tell me where Aurel is. She returned around three weeks ago."

Zaya narrowed her eyes, her blue eyes looked very sharp and despite how docile she appeared, one should know better than to mess with her.

"What? Do you want to kill her?"

Zenith looked her dead in the eyes and replied. "Yes."

"Reason?"

Zenith didn’t want to recall what happened, but Zaya wouldn’t budge with a simple explanation and currently, she was his best bet.

"You are so stupid, Zen. I have told you that you are very trusting. People have their own minds. You are just like Father."
