His Sweet Little Mate

Alan had this grim look on his face as he listened to the report from a trusted warrior, whom he sent to ask around the palace to find out who started to spread the rumors.

After a simple investigation, they found out that the people out there had actually heard the gossip from trusted sources in the palace, which prompted him to focus on the royals and the elders.

With this revelation, it was obvious that Leon alone wasn’t the spy that had worked for Calpin. There were more people who wanted to stir trouble for the king.

“Those accusations were not light, but at the same time, the person surrounded by them was not ordinary either, so it was easy for them to spread like wildfire in a really short time…

“The King not coming forth to announce the news only served to turn them to believe that there was some truth to the rumors.” The warrior couldn’t help but frown as he recounted what he heard people talking in and out of the palace.

It was just like the saying, no smoke without fire.

Especially when the rumor was started by the people belonging to someone who had the most power among the royal councilors.

“Okay, I understand, you can go now.”

“I'm sorry, my queen, I can't accompany you today.” Alyssa looked a little apologetic when she told Abby that she couldn’t follow her around the pack house today.

“That’s what you usually do, Alyssa,” Abby said, looking a little puzzled. “Or are you feeling unwell?”

But her maid shook her head.

“Then why?”

Did someone bully her for being Abby’s personal maid? She wouldn’t put it above her disgusting former pack members.

However, she was just over thinking, because the next second she could see her little follower smile like a Cheshire cat.

“Because someone else wants to do it today.” Alyssa was beaming from ear to ear now.

“Huh?”

When she was still trying to make heads and tails of her behavior, she heard someone call for her.

“Little one, you ready?” Micah approached his dumbfounded little mate.

“It’s you?”

“Yeah, it's me,” Micah answered out of habit and then saw Alyssa covering her face to hide her smile.

It seemed his little one found out about this just now.

“Get used to it, I'm going to accompany you today,” Micah said, as he pulled Abby, who still couldn't believe her mate was doing this for her.

Because during the three hours she spent running around the pack, he was there with her, silently supporting her morale, which took a nosedive after those nasty rumors hit the Silver Moon pack.

And with him beside her, no one even dared to look at her in the wrong way, let alone gossip behind her back.

Just like that, the king followed his queen every other day, protecting both her and her feelings, which made the pack members slowly realize how stupid those rumors were.

“He clearly loves her, if she is pregnant with another man's child, why would he do so much for her?”

“I know right, just because she was spotted talking with someone, people did her dirty.”

Voices like these rose here and there when they saw how affectionate Micah was with Abby whenever they went out together.

This also made them remember how he held her on the high pedestal since they started staying in the Silver Moon pack so they could investigate those unusual deaths.

Those displeased voices got suppressed without them realizing it slowly.

************************

“Alan is quite efficient.” Dax looked at the unopened missive on the table in front of the king.

But when Micah didn’t say anything, it was Alpha Samuel who took the lead to walk out of this strategy room, even though he was here to report something to the king first.

“You can go first, royal gamma, I’ll wait outside!”

Dax patted his shoulder as the alpha passed by him and closed the door behind him, only then did Micah finally open the folded paper.

“There’s no surprise here.” The king slid the paper toward Dax, who had the opposite reaction.

While the king looked like he had already guessed the name, the royal gamma was a bit shocked to find out that Micah’s hunch came true.

“Just because he is your father, he didn’t even bother and try to be covert, huh?” Dax was amazed by the former king’s boldness. “He actually started the rumor from his old tower.”

Yes, it was Arthur, who started this mess. He let the servants and guards from his old tower gossip with the rest of the people in the palace and then it spread to the entire capital city.

“What will you do now?” The gamma looked at the king, who looked deep in thought, when in fact, he thought he would shake with anger like the last time.

“Send this to Alan.” Micah handed Dax a paper. “He’ll know what to do.”

The content of the missive was simple. Micah just ordered Alan to keep an eye on Arthur. And this confused the gamma even more, he couldn’t understand his actions at all. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Call Alpha Samuel in, he seemed to have some news on the rogues,” Micah said next, forcing Dax’s question down his throat, as he nodded in compliance.

He stuffed the missive away, before calling the alpha in.

**********************

“So, what's the plan, Alpha?” Dax walked to where the alpha was talking to Mirella after he got permission from Micah to go on this impromptu mission.

“Quite simple, we'll follow her lead and the witch will take care of the rest,” Alpha Samuel said, looking quite confident in Mirella.

“Do you think this will work?” The royal gamma looked a bit skeptical. “Not to mention we are going incognito.”

Alpha James still wasn't aware where they were going or what the king was planning to do next. But he didn't dare to complain and just focused on being content with the fact that the king came down to his pack to help.

“This is just a theory. We don't need to be high profile while trying our luck. Let's just see how this turns out,” Mirella explained to the gamma patiently.

“Yeah, let's just hope that dark sorcerer used his magic somewhere nearby.”

Mirella looked at Alpha Samuel at Dax’s words, after all, this was his idea.

“If he wants to attack, he is probably somewhere nearby...”

“Okay, let's make a move first.” Mirella took the lead, prompting both of them to follow her.

However, once they set off, neither Samuel nor Dax opened their mouths again, so that the witch could concentrate on her thing.

Alpha Samuel thought there must be a magic user with the rogues to make their movements easier and Micah immediately summoned the witch to hear her view on this.

Mirella immediately sorted her thoughts out. “If there is indeed one, I think I can trace them back…”

As such, they set off on this journey. However, they couldn’t believe they would succeed with this little plan and really locate some rogues.

“Let’s observe them for a moment.” Mirella pulled back Dax when he was about to rush over seeing that there weren't many people there.

“Why does he look familiar?” Alpha Samuel pointed at a man, and Dax’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets upon realization.

Because before him, when the rogues made way for someone, he could see Ezgar, a former chief of the elite royal warriors and the son of that traitor Leon.

Behind him was his sister, Ruby!

“What the fuck?!?!”
