“How are yo


    you feeling right now, Abby?” Nadia asked, she was the healer that Abby met the previous night before


    she fell asleep, because she was very tired, she didn’t pay close attention to her surroundings and only


    realized she was in the king’s bedroom.


    “1-1 am fine.” Abby said, she stared at the beautiful healer sheepishly. “Can I go back to my home?”


    Nadia smiled helplessly. “About that, I can’t decide, because we need the king’s permission if you want


    to leave this room.” Even Nadia was having a hard time toe closer to this room, somehow, the king


    was very angry and became overly protective. He didn’t allow anyone toe near this


    arca


    Probably, this sounded ridiculous, but if you saw the nature of the shifters, especially someone with the


    highest status in this continent, you would understand how important their mate was and how


    overprotective they were to their people.


    “Oh…” Abby lowered her head again.


    Someone had brought a tray full of food, she had never seen so many food for her in the past ten


    years. She had seen how Hanna would get all the best food and as many as she wanted, but what was


    for her was only scraps.


    Abby would already be grateful if she was being fed and her father didn’t forget to leave something for


    her to cal.


    “You will be fine after some rest and then cat properly. I don’t think there is something that need to be


    worried about.” Nadia smiled, she nced at Abby’s neck, the area where her scars were. She wanted


    to say something, but she held back her tongue, thinking this was not the right timing to bring up the


    problem. “I will take my leave.”


    “Ah.” Abby stood up as well, she stretched out her hand to hold Nadia back out of instinct, but she


    retracted her hand again. People always hated it when she touched them, thus she shouldn’t do


    that.


    “Yes?” Nadia smile sweetly when she saw how Abby looked ufortable. “Is there something you


    need?”


    Abby shook her head, she looked hesitant when she wanted to speak, but then she was afraid, she


    would waste her time if she was like this for long time. “That… the thing is… the king said that I am his


    mate… I am sorry, but… I am confused.”


    Nadia sighed deeply. So, the king was really adamant to take her to the pce apparently, he even had


    told her about it, at this point, there was no going back.


    “I don’t think I have the capacity to answer your question, from what I heard, the king will meet youter


    after he finished his business with alpha James. I believe, he will exin everything to you.” Nadia


    patted her shoulder. “I will leave now, okay. You need to rest.”


    Abby didn’t want to rest, she wanted an answer, but she couldn’t be greedy.


    In the end, she was left alone in this flourish room that she had never been inside. This room was


    18.06


    wed, b Mar


    the main guest room, only an important people was allowed to be here. So important, she was


    forbidden to step in.


    647M


    But right now, she was here, doing nothing, thinking about what would happen with herter, until


    someone opened the door.


    “The king just left.” Alpha James kneaded his temple, he seemed to be in foul mood and the arrival of


    his beta didn’t make him feel better. “If you asked me what the punishment your family will get, I don’t


    know. The king only said, you will get the punishment you deserved after he asked more about what


    you have done to his mate.”


    Ryan balled his fists, he gritted his teeth. This was not the oue that he expected. He couldn’t


    believe such miracle could happen. His second daughter, the monster, was actually the king’s mate,


    not Hanna or any other normal girls.


    But, what more surprising for him was the fact that the king actually epted her.


    “Are you sure there is nothing you can do about this, alpha?” Ryan sat down across from alpha James


    and his alpha gave him a nasty look.


    “How could you treat your daughter like that? All the people here know what happened ten years ago


    and it’s obviously not her fault.”


    Ten years ago, there was fire that burned down the beta’s house, but not only that, it killed his mate


    too, while his second daughter sustained that ugly scar on her left body.


    That was the reason why she was called as monster.


    “What we should do now?”


    “You should pray that your daughter will not let the king to know what you have done to her all this time.


    Probably, your crime will be pardoned.”


    The alpha acted like there was nothing wrong with the whole situation, as if he was not involved in this


    matter, Technically, he didn’t abuse Abby, yes, but he didn’t do anything either as the leader of the


    pack. He turned blind eyes with the way Abby was treated.


    However, Ryan couldn’tin about that.


    “I think it will be better if you saw your daughter first before the alpha have a conversation with her.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “I am not allowed to meet with her.” Ryan had tried, but the royal guards turned him away. Without the


    permission from the king, he was not allowed toe near the room.


    Alpha James sighed deeply, he shook his head regretfully. “There is nothing I can do.”


    There was silence between them until Ryan asked the alpha again. “You told me the king was just here


    a moment ago, what he wanted?”


    “He wanted to take Abby to the capital city right away, therefore, the meeting about the pack needs


    33


    Wed, 6


    to be done this evening, so tomorrow, they can leave.”


    “That fast?! They will leave tomorrow?!” Ryan didn’t believe what he heard.
