Because of the urgency of the situation Zenith had to return to the capital city immediately, but because Dawn couldn't shift and had to take a carriage, there was only two options; delay the emergency at the palace, or Zenith had to leave her behind.
"Zenith, you really need to go now," Darius persuaded Zenith, because he chose the second option. The gamma really underestimated how much the alpha cared for his mate. "We can't delay this."
"Pyro and Lance are there." Zenith helped Dawn to stand up, they found a comfortable carriage for her and he would ride with her.
"Yes, but it's not the same."
"They are Zander's right hand men, are they not?" Zenith then looked at him sternly. "I thought you are my gamma, why do you care much about the palace affair?"
Darius knew it wouldn't work if he pleaded with Zenith, thus he changed his tactic, but before that, Zenith had warned him.
