“I want to see your father, too.”


    As soon as Micah mentioned meeting her father, Abby’s face turned unusually pale. Her body switched


    to the fight or flight mode, only she didn’t have anywhere to escape when the King insisted on keeping


    her still. He was still holding on to her waist, rendering her unable to move.


    However, Micah could clearly feel how her body stiffened even more. The King couldn’t help clenching


    his jaw, sensing the visible fear in his mate’s system. He had to learn what happened to her until she


    was like this. What did they do to her?


    Meanwhile, Abby didn’t even have enough courage to refuse the King’s hand when he stood up and


    wanted to pull her out of this guest bedroom. She dragged her feet behind while the King. pretended


    not to see her obvious resistance. He didn’t want her to stay here longer than necessary. Meaning, he


    had to rush through things, so he could get her out of here as soon as possible.


    “The King is here,” a warrior rushed inside to inform Beta Ryan.


    In the next moment, Beta Ryan and Hanna could see Micah entering their house with Abby in his tow.


    Both Ryan and his elder daughter were visibly shocked to see the ambient air around the two.


    Somehow, seeing them like this only made them feel even more ufortable.

    Behind them, they could see several personal warriors of the King. One might think Micah was there for


    a fight, instead of simply taking his mate away. Maybe they were not wrong. Because, if you looked into


    the King’s eyes carefully, you would be able to sense the brewing storm in his heart.


    “My King,” both Ryan and Hanna greeted him quickly. Beta Ryan didn’t have any problem bowing to


    the King, but Hanna felt reluctant seeing Abby beside Micah. What right did this monster have to be


    chosen as his fated mate? Hanna couldn’t ept this. However, she could only swallow her grievances


    and show her respect to the King.


    It didn’t go unnoticed by Micah, though he chose to pretend that he didn’t see it and nodded in


    response. And before he could say why he was here, Beta Ryan feigned surprise and started talking


    about Abby. “Oh, Abby is here as well. Did you have a good night’s sleep, daughter?”


    Ryan tried hard to sound as normal as he could, only he couldn’t pull it off out of nervousness or


    something else, as his voice came out gruffy and he sessfully scared Abby.


    The king’s new found mate gaped at her own father in shock, not knowing how to deal with this


    situation. She came here fully believing she would be reprimanded and beaten up for not following her


    father’s order. Any other time, her father wouldn’t have hesitated to thrash her until she didn’t even


    have enough energy to plead for himself to spare her..


    But now, he was asking if she had a good night’s sleep? And was that a smile on his lips. She never


    saw her father smiling at herself after what happened ten years ago. He looked even more scary than


    when he was grinding his teeth at her.


    Yes, Ryan was trying to smile at Abby, only he couldn’t seed in his attempt as it had been a long

    time since he found her pleasing to the eye. Micah didn’t say anything. He just observed silently from


    the side. What was this beta nning? Was he trying to make himself look good in the King’s eyes to


    escape his wrath?


    Seeing that her father was about to give away himself, Hanna decided to take things into her own


    hands. She actually dared to go near both Micah and Abby before starting to get all chummy with her


    sister. “Abby, where did you go? Father has been worried about you all night.”


    She didn’t forget to steal a nce at the King, after all, whatever she was doing was to make him


    believe them.


    On the other hand, Abby was even more shocked to see Hanna act like this, She visibly flinched when


    Hanna proceeded to hug her hand as if they were some sort of best friends. What was wrong with her


    sister? Why was she suddenly being like this?


    Micah gently pulled her to his side, noticing her difort. But he didn’t do anything to stop the woman


    from touching his mate. He had to make them believe that he was buying their lies. Only then would he


    be able to make them lower their guard. Instead, he spoke to Abby in a soft voice. “Where is your


    room?”


    However, it was Hanna who volunteered to show the King the way. She cunningly tagged along. saying


    she would help Abby pack her belongings. In her haste to send them both away as soon as possible,


    she forgot the problem at hand. The room upied by Abby. Or if one could say, the room they all


    made Abby upy.


    By now, Micah got a brief understanding of his mate’s behaviour. She tended to be slow and always


    fearful of everything. So, when she didn’t say anything, he didn’t fixate on it and followed this hanna girl


    further into the house. Only the more they walked, the more his eyes hardened.


    It was clear as day that the bedrooms were on the second storey of this building. But they ended up in


    the servant quarters in the back of this house. What was even more mortifying was the shabby state of


    this part of the house. And to make things worse, there were not one but three locks to her door. What


    was with this arrangement? Did they usually lock her inside like they did in the warehouse where he


    found her?


    And the moment Hanna opened the door, Micah almost growled. This should not be called a


    room. It was so small it looked like a section in a shabby horse stable. There wasn’t even a bed here.


    Only a sorry excuse for a small closet. Even a venttor would berger than that window like


    looking thing in the far back.
