Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North

Stirring this concoction was not as easy as it seemed, you have to know when you have to stir it slowly or fasten your movement, and to top it, you need to control the fire as well. It couldn’t be too small, but couldn’t be too big either, because it could spoil the concoction.

In other words, within those three hours, you need to focus on the concoction alone and must not get distracted. This was the most tiring part and when the healer in her pack taught her this concoction, Dawn felt like giving up and forgetting about it several times.

Thankfully, she didn’t.

"You have to keep the color dark green like this, if the color changes into light green, you need to add salt and if it turns to a darker shade, you need to check the fire and slow down the stirring."

Dawn explained all of this to Zenith, when he insisted for her to let someone else do it.

"That’s why, I can’t let anyone else do it," Dawn said, she added a pinch of salt because the color changed.

Zenith was not happy with this, but there was nothing he could do when he knew nothing about the concoction while his brother’s life was on the line.

And after three hours of boiling the concoction, finally it was done. She got only two bowls of it.

"Let’s go," Dawn said, she massaged her hand, which felt so numb. She was tired and wanted to clean herself because she was sweating.

But, before Dawn could take the tray, on which she put the two bowls of concoction, Zenith stopped her. "Let someone else bring this."

Zenith then called one of the omegas to bring the tray to the king’s bedroom, but she didn’t enter the room, because Zenith took it from her hands and dismissed her.
