Chapter 25: NOT BAD
"They are at it again," Axel said, feeling irritated when he saw a letter from the palace bearing the king’s insignia. This was not the first letter that King Zander sent to them. His order was still the same; take care of the monsters that managed to ’escape’ the untouched land and keep destroying the border in the north.
It caused turmoil in the whole continent, because the north pack served as the first line of defense against monster problems.
But, the reply that came from Zenith was the same; he would try his best to deal with it.
Not only did this matter cause rippling anxiety in the people of the kingdom, but it also gave the king a headache. Zenith was still pissed because his brother sent someone to blatantly kill his mate.
"I think this will last for another two months," Darius said. "Zenith purposefully weakened the protection around that spot."
"I know." Axel frowned. "Why do you think the King wants to kill that woman? I know they disagree on a lot of things, but the King doesn’t have any reason to interfere with the mate Zenith chooses."
"I am not sure either." Darius took the letter and opened it. "Why didn’t you open this?"
"It will be the same nagging letter about how we need to strengthen our protection." Axel didn’t want to read the same thing over and over again.
However, reading its content, Darius frowned. "No. This is not about that." He handed the letter to Axel. "We need to inform the Alpha about this letter."
Meanwhile, after that attack, Dawn was sleeping in Zenith’s bedroom. The alpha also appointed someone to follow her anywhere she went, aside from Kynes and Pyllo. Zenith also made the seamstress come to her room, instead of her going to the village.
This level of protection started to feel overwhelming for Dawn.
