Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North
A smug smile appeared on her step sister's lips when she finally revealed she was actually pregnant with her mate's child. Her father's futile attempt to apologize, for ignoring her all this time, because he had his own reasons and asked her to understand. A plea of forgiveness from her mate as he begged her not to reject him, claiming it was just a stupid mistake that he shouldn't have made. And to top it off, a cursed alpha from the north, to whom her step sister was actually promised, is here to collect his debt, so she has to take her place as the sacrifice now. Darn!
A WRETCHED LIFE
"Feeling better?" Zenith asked, thick concern laced his voice when he handed her a glass of water to calm her nerves.
"Thank you," Dawn mumbled, she took the glass and gulped down the water to moisten her throat. She had been crying for two hours straight for no reason at all, but at the same time, she felt justified to feel extremely sad for the memories that flashed across her mind.
What was that? It felt like she had gone through a lifetime of misery.
"How are you feeling?" Zenith reached out to caress her head, but Dawn flinched away from his touch out of instinct. Zenith's hand stilled and then he dropped it.
"I- I am fine, but can you leave me alone for a while?" Dawn asked, as she fiddled with her fingers. She didn't want to look at Zenith. She felt this deep, intense anger rising within her.
