His Sweet Little Mate

Micah brought a still shaking Abby to the guest bedroom prepared for himself in this pack house. The girl was rattled to say the least and the King couldn’t help but hug her gently.

Abby felt just right in his arms and the urge to never let her go intensified in his heart. Only he couldn’t act on it right now, as he had to deal with one more thing before they could leave for the capital city tomorrow.

Even though Micah really wanted to leave as soon as possible, he wanted for Abby to regain her bearings a bit first. And after seeing the way she cried almost all day, Micah felt leaving after letting her sleep for the night would be a more wise choice.

“I’ll be back in no time, rest your head while I’m gone, hmm?” The King said to Abby after releasing her from his embrace. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead when she didn’t say anything but just nodded her head in response.

He took her hand and pulled her to the bed, before gently laying her down and covering herself with the blanket. With that, he left to attend his matters.

select a competent shifter to be your next beta. I reckon you won’t repeat your past mistake of failing to discipline your own beta.”

Alpha James received the order from the King, feeling dreadful with every word that left his lips. Gone was the patient king who spoke so gently to Abby, as he reverted back to his cold self when dealing with people like James.

“Yes, My King. I’ll finish the task by the end of the day and the chosen one will accompany me to send your highness off tomorrow morning,” James immediately promised the king.

Only when the King left the pack meeting room, could the Alpha finally be able to sigh in relief, for he believed he escaped death by a really thin whisker.

By the time Micah returned, it was well into the night. He thought Abby would be fast asleep, considering how tired she must be both physically and mentally. But he found his mate staring out the window the moment he opened the door to the guest bedroom.

He could see that she changed into the dress he prepared for herself. It was a simple white ankle length gown with a bow in the front and it looked lovely on her. Actually, he wanted her to do this as soon as they returned to their room, but she was so out of sorts at that time, he just wanted her to rest her head before anything.

Only she didn’t seem to have the same thought as it was clear that she didn’t rest at all after returning. He could say as much just by looking at the bed where he laid her down.

“You are not so obedient, after all,” Micah said so suddenly that Abby, whose mind had wandered off into the distance, got startled. The girl immediately turned around and lowered her head right after confirming it was just Micah as she didn’t know what to say in response.

Was he mad at her? Abby didn’t know if she should ask him directly.

Seeing her adorable reaction, Micah could only smile to himself, feeling helpless. He slowly approached her after closing the door behind him and dismissing his warriors. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The warriors would start guarding them in turns now as they had to catch a little bit of sleep each, after all, they had a long journey tomorrow.

Micah walked to Abby who was still silent and could sense the way the girl tried not to squirm with every step that he walked closer to herself. “How are you feeling, little one?” Micah asked her the moment he stopped a step away from her.

When she didn’t answer him immediately, Micah lifted her head to make her look at himself. However, he didn’t say anything as he waited for her, silently trying to make her understand that she was safe with him.

Sometimes, you just have to give people time to make them comfortable enough. And Micah could be patient with her however long she needed him to be. Sure enough, his gentle approach proved to be successful as Abby opened her mouth about five minutes later. All that time, the King remained silent as he looked into her eyes.

“I feel a little bad,” Abby whispered softly.

“For your father and sister?” Micah asked her knowingly.

“Yes?” Abby answered him doubtfully, because she couldn’t guess how he would react to her answer. After all, he was very angry at them earlier, even though she could tell he was only furious on her behalf.

Micah expected as much, after all, no matter what, they were still her family. She was so timid. herself but still tried to speak to himself on their behalf earlier. He could see that she cared for them even though they didn’t deserve her kindness after what they had done to her.

“Little one, Ryan told me what happened,” Micah finally said after thinking for a moment.

Hearing that, Abby immediately stiffend and Micah could see how the air around her changed. again,

“Do you mean..?” Her voice trailed off, seemingly unable to form the words when uncertainty overwhelmed her senses.

“Yes, he told me about that incident from ten years back,” Micah filled in for her and saw how she trembled at his admittance.

“Everything?” Abby asked him in an almost inaudible voice, as she felt her throat clogging in at the mention of that horrible incident.

Now, Abby dreaded his answer. Did he find out everything? Would he also see her as a monster now? A bringer of bad luck?

Abby couldn’t breath as she felt the air leave her lungs too rapidly, she started hyperventilating.

“Little one, what happened?” Micah was at a loss when he saw her like this.
