Chapter 50: ATONE FOR HIS SIN
"Zenith, they are so mean to me..." Dawn wailed, while Zenith carried her in his arms. She had been complaining a lot about the mistreatment she had to endure in the last few years. "They destroyed my mother’s mementos and my father didn’t even stand up for me... hiks, hiks."
The corridor echoed with the sounds of her sobs, while the guards there tried so hard to appear not affected by this strange sight. Yet, the alpha’s focus was only on the woman in his arms. He nuzzled her nose and hugged her tighter.
"What have you done to the lady until she is crying so badly like that?" Zander appeared from the opposite direction and Zenith chose to turn to his left, taking the furthest path to his quarter, just to avoid his brother.
"Hey!" Zander immediately rushed toward Zenith and walked beside him.
"You shouldn’t be seen with me," Zenith said, grumbling because Zander took a closer look at Dawn.
"She is drunk," Zander pointed out the obvious. "How can you let a lady drink until she is like this? You are not a good man."
"I have never said I am." Zenith hastened his steps, but his brother annoyingly kept up with him. "You shouldn’t be seen with me."
Zander ignored that too. "What should I do to her mate?"
"He is not her mate."
