Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 153 The God of Darkness Needs a Gift

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 The God of Darkness Needs a Gift

In the bedroom, Elijah watched as the Dark Wizard rubbed the ointment onto an unconscious Haley. He dipped his finger into the silver plaster box and, bit by bit, applied the white plaster to Haley’s neck, his actions as gentle as a whisper.

Elijah’s gaze slowly fell upon the dark red pinch mark on Haley’s neck, which was as shocking as a hideous scar. He felt a pang of remorse for having nearly killed her by mistake. If it hadn’t been for the Dark Wizard’s timely intervention, Haley might indeed have perished. Her death would have left him without a right-hand woman, and besides, Haley was his own sister. Though Elijah had never loved her, he had never considered harming her.

He was furious that Haley had taken it upon herself to investigate the Dark Wizard, whom she even suspected of secretly practicing human sacrifice. Elijah disapproved of Haley’s overstepping her bounds.

She awoke and was fine. The Dark Wizard’s voice remained hoarse as he replaced the silver plaster box in his exclusive medicine chest, from which he drew a scented candle. The Dark Wizard placed the scented candle near the head of the bed and lit it, filling the room with a faint lavender scent immediately.

Elijah glanced casually at the Dark Wizard’s medicine chest. The little black box was filled with jars of various colors, the specific purpose of each known only to the Dark Wizard himself.

It had to be said that, despite his ugly appearance and voice, the Dark Wizard’s medical skills were far superior to those of the Court Physician. He crafted pills that were more effective than antibiotics.

For the dark wizards possessed magic. Elijah thought to himself that the Dark Wizard’s magic could be of great use to him.

The Dark Wizard held the black box in his hand and approached Elijah, then bowed his head slightly. "I need to speak with you, Your Majesty," he said.

"Come to my office," Elijah replied.

A few minutes later, Elijah was seated on the sofa in his office, with the Dark Wizard standing before him, as usual, maintaining a respectful distance.

"What’s the matter?" Elijah asked.

"Two things," the Dark Wizard said. "I’ve reached out to my old friend in the North, and he’s agreed to work with us, but only if we provide him with protection. Klaus is rumored to be hunting him."

"Did they finally fall out?" Elijah asked with a playful tone. "So, is he still useful to us?"

"He remained useful until Klaus killed him," the Dark Wizard said, his eyes glowing with a grim light. "Perhaps he’ll become our puppet in the North."

"Do you really think he’ll do as we say?" Elijah’s tone was filled with doubt.

"Yes," the Dark Wizard affirmed. "In that battle many years ago, I wouldn’t have had a chance to turn the tide if he hadn’t had Klaus’s mate on the battlefield."

"It wasn’t until years later that Elijah learned from the Dark Wizard that the man who brought Klaus’s mate to the battlefield was actually Dyson. Although Elijah didn’t know how the dark wizard had managed to get Dyson to do this initially, Elijah would have died at Klaus’s hands if it hadn’t been for Dyson’s help.

As for how the Dark Wizard found Dyson and convinced him to cooperate, the Dark Wizard didn’t elaborate on this to Elijah.

In short, the Dark Wizard had his own methods.

’I can protect him,’ Elijah readily agreed, and it wasn’t too difficult for him.

’What’s the second thing?’ Elijah asked.

The Dark Wizard slowly lifted his head, a strange smile playing at the corner of his mouth, ’I’ve found a way to please The God of Darkness.’

’What is it?’ Elijah sat up straight, looking expectantly at the Dark Wizard.

’Princess Haley is pregnant.’

Elijah furrowed his brow; he couldn’t fathom how Haley’s pregnancy could have anything to do with the Dark Lord. Wait, whose baby was in Haley’s womb? It certainly wasn’t his in the first place, and even though he had slept with Haley several times, there was no way he could have impregnated her.

Since Elijah was a lone wolf, he not only had no mate but also no children. So, was the baby in Haley’s womb a dark wizard’s?

’What if she’s pregnant?’ Elijah looked at the dark wizard with a hint of disgust. If the child in Haley’s womb was indeed of dark wizard blood, that child must have been hideous.

’Could it be that Haley is pregnant with your child?’ Elijah asked bluntly.

When the dark wizard heard this, he was momentarily stunned, and then he shook his head, ’That’s the baby of the undead.’

’What?’ Elijah recalled those words Haley had said to him, ’Did you really let the ghost sleep with Haley?’

It was she who had volunteered to give her body to the undead. The Dark Wizard calmly explained.

’What the hell are you doing?’ Elijah angrily confronted the Dark Wizard.

’Didn’t you ask her to come to me?’ The Dark Wizard sneered, ’Since she doesn’t accept me, then I’ll have to give her to the undead.’

Elijah knew he was wrong, and he struggled to suppress the anger in his heart. Haley was one of his possessions, and he wouldn’t allow her to be disposed of at will.

He alone had that power.

After the undead united with Haley, seeds were planted in her body. Ignoring Elijah’s anger, the Dark Wizard continued, ’The baby in her womb is the perfect sacrifice for The God of Darkness.’

’You want to sacrifice the baby in Haley’s womb to the God of Darkness?’ Elijah wondered if the Dark Wizard was insane when he allowed the Dark Wizard to sacrifice with the captives, but the baby...

’Princess Haley wasn’t carrying a real baby in her belly.’ The dark wizard explained, ’Even if she were to give birth to the child, the baby wouldn’t survive. It was doomed.’

’I don’t understand what you mean.’ Puzzled, Elijah asked, ’If the baby in Haley’s womb isn’t destined to live, why is she still pregnant?’

’Normally, women who are united with the undead don’t get pregnant easily, but Princess Haley is pregnant, which is a gift from the undead to her.’

’Is it like a client tipping a prostitute?’ Elijah said sarcastically.

’That baby is the seed of the forces of darkness.’ The Dark Wizard patiently said, ’It will become more and more powerful if it is sacrificed to The God of Darkness. Then you will receive an Undead Legion.’

As soon as he heard the word ’Undead Legion,’ the anger in Elijah’s heart instantly disappeared, ’Is what you said true?’

But Elijah thought about it again, ’It takes ten months to conceive a baby, which is too long for me.’

By the time he had the undead legion, Klaus would most likely have conquered his kingdom. He couldn’t afford to wait that long.

’It won’t take long.’ The Dark Wizard said, ’Undead babies aren’t like normal babies; they only need three months.’

’Can the time be shortened any further?’

The dark wizard thought for a moment, ’If you use magic, it should only take a month.’

’So, in a month, will I be able to own an Undead Legion?’ Elijah confirmed, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

The Dark Wizard nodded solemnly, ’Yes.’

’Very well, then do as you say.’ Elijah couldn’t contain the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose in a triumphant smile.

As long as he had the undead legion, he would be the sole king of the Wolf Clan. He would rule over the entire pack and bring all to his feet.

Elijah touched his arm, which was made of stainless steel, and the cold touch of the metal came from the tips of his fingers, but it made him feel an inexplicable power within him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a grim smile.

’It’s time for Klaus to taste what it’s like to lose everything.’ His voice, low and menacing, echoed through the silent room."
