Chapter 80: THANK YOU, ZENITH

***** Zenith’s first life *****

==========================

***Dawn’s POV***

==========================

It irritated Dawn that she had to ask for permission to see her own son, but there was nothing she could do at this point. She neither had strength nor power to go against what Zenith wanted.

"Okay."

Dawn waited for Pyllo to return with her baby, but even after hours, her maid servant didn’t return and instead, it was Fern who came to inform her that the baby was currently sleeping.

"The baby is very weak, because you didn’t take care of yourself," Fern said sternly. Her eyes were ice cold. She didn’t need to say it, but she obviously blamed Dawn for what she had done to herself and the baby during her pregnancy. "It’s better you don’t see the baby for the meantime."

"When can I see my baby?" Dawn asked. She knew that she was at fault. During that time, she really thought of dying with her baby. There was nothing she could look forward to in this world, but now her baby was born, of course, she was not going to leave him behind.

"It depends on what Alpha Zenith says, after he deems you safe enough, you’ll get to see the baby."

Dawn scoffed, it was ridiculous. "Safe? What do you mean safe? Do you really think that I am going to hurt my baby?"

"You already did, Dawn. You hurt the baby and now the Alpha’s firstborn is suffering because of your actions."

Dawn bit her lip. She knew she was at fault here. "Please, tell Zenith that I want to see my baby."

Fern nodded and then left the room.

But, Dawn should have expected this, because after hours of waiting, she still couldn’t see her baby, even when weeks and months passed, the alpha still didn’t give her any permission.

"Rex..." Dawn murmured her baby’s name, because she still couldn’t see her baby. She tried to go see him, but apparently Zenith was away from the pack and to her annoyance, it was actually Aurel, who took care of her baby.

Dawn could stomach if it was someone else, but Aurel... it was akin to a slap in the face when she could only see her baby from afar, while that wicked healer played with him.

Rex was already able to walk when he was only ten months old. He had his father’s blue eyes and also his curls. Probably only his nose and lips that resembled Dawn’s.

Every time she tried to approach him, warriors would stop her and Dawn didn’t want to cause a ruckus, since she was afraid it would aggravate Zenith and he kept preventing her from meeting her son.

Therefore, she could only satisfy her desire to be with her child by staring at him from afar.

There was a day when her son stared back at her and he smiled, waving his little hand at his mother and this kept Dawn’s heart warm for days.

However, lately Aurel didn’t take her son out. She kept him inside the room and Dawn couldn’t find a way to see him.

Thankfully, three days later Zenith returned to the pack and Dawn sneaked out of her bedroom to see him. This was not the first time for Dawn to do this and she already knew this pack like the back of her hand.

Dawn ambushed Zenith on his way to his study room. By this time, her baby was already one year old and she missed all of his milestones because of him, she would never forgive him for this.

"I want to see my baby!" Dawn said, her eyes ablaze with anger.

"I will take her back to her room," Axel said. He was about to step forward and grab Dawn’s hand, but she swatted his hand.

"Let her be." Zenith stopped his beta before he tried to drag her away again. "Let’s talk inside." He walked into the study room and Dawn followed behind him.

This place and the owner were still the same as how Dawn remembered.

"Only now you asked to see your baby?" Zenith narrowed his eyes.

"Only now?" Dawn was livid. "I have been asking to see my baby for months! You kept ignoring me!"

"Is your mind clouded again?" Zenith looked tired. He seemed so done to face her. "Is the time still slipping through your mind?"

"I don’t know what you are talking about, but I have been asking for my baby for months, but you didn’t give me any chance to see him."

Zenith didn’t say anything, he stared at her for a while, but then someone knocked on the door and Dawn was distracted with this sweet scent that seeped into the room.

Aurel stepped in with a little boy in her arms. She didn’t look happy to see Dawn, but she kept her opinion to herself in front of the alpha.

Dawn burst into tears when she saw Rex. He blinked his eyes at Dawn curiously.

"What are you doing?" Aurel stepped back when Dawn wanted to get her baby.

"Give Rex to her."

"But, Alpha..." Aurel retorted, which made Dawn want to claw her face, but she restrained herself. "Rex will be scared of her, he has never seen her before."

"She is his mother." Zenith gave the healer a stern look. "Give Rex to her."

This time, Aurel couldn’t refuse anymore and put Rex down. The little boy looked at Dawn curiously. "He is going to cry," Aurel said through gritted teeth when Dawn came closer and picked him up.

Dawn hugged her son carefully for the first time, she buried her face in his neck and breathed in his scent. Calm washed over her, as tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"My son... my son..." She kept saying the same thing over and over again.

"He is going to cry," Aurel said again.

However, when they thought Rex would cry, the boy actually laughed. The little one chuckled and hugged Dawn back, as if he had known her for a long time, as if Dawn had never been absent from his life.

Seeing this, Aurel balled her fists, she gritted her teeth angrily and stormed out of the room.

She was the one who took care of him all this time! She was the one who formed a bond with him, to be a mother figure for him when Dawn was not around, but this little brat actually forgot about her entirely and readily accepted Dawn?!

What a piece of shit!

No wonder this child sucked, you should see who had given birth to him.

Meanwhile, Dawn couldn’t care less about what Aurel felt right now. For now, the most important thing for her was to be with her son.

Later on, Zenith let her stay longer with Rex, he even allowed her to bring her son to sleep in her room. This was the happiest she had been ever since she woke up.

"Thank you, Zenith," Dawn said before she took Rex with her.

And three days later, Aurel went back to the capital city and Dawn could spend her time with Rex as much as she wanted, making up for the time she lost.

Everything seemed well for the moment...
