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!
As more days passed, Dawn's mind became clearer, and so did her memories about her past life. Just like with Zenith, the memories didn't come to her all at once either.
On the seventh day, Dawn refused to see anyone, as she couldn't help it anymore. She couldn't stay inside this room, wallowing in self pity while her heart was consumed with rage.
She had been staying in this palace for some time now and she was familiar with some parts of the area, especially the secret tunnels. Zenith mentioned about them casually in their conversation, thus it was not hard for her to slip away one night without anyone knowing it, though it was still hard to avoid the guards.
After all, in her past life, Dawn used to sneak around to see Zenith. Her previous lifetime merged with the current one now.
