Impudence?
Alpha James didn’t understand why the King was suddenly furious at himself. However, when he
recalled that he had been standing there like a statue from the moment he arrived at the scene without
greeting the king and showing him the respect he deserved, the Alpha immediately. apologized.
“My King, I was careless just now. I would never disrespect you on purpose. I was only shocked.” Alpha
James couldn’t continue anymore when the King wouldn’t stop suppressing his beast.
Alpha James gathered that the King was real mad then, only he didn’t know whom to me for this.
But Micah didn’t leave him in suspense for long. “Alpha James, beforeing here, I didn’t take you
for someone so ipetent,” Micah said word by word.
Alpha James was petrified at his words, he couldn’t understand this turn of events at all. But he wasn’t
one to escte a situation which was unfavorable to himself and increase problems. So, he
immediately said, “My King, I humbly request you to please let your humble subject know his
misgivings. I’ll definitely correct myself and make it up to you.”
“Do you really not know?” Micah didn’t feel the need to exin things to this ignorant alpha. He was so
ignorant he let a pack member, a woman at that, be abused for so long. And when he remembered that
Abby had been suffering from a young age of nine, Micah couldn’t help the urge to exact revenge.
Alpha James immediately felt like he missed something. He fell silent as he pondered over the King’s
words. And it didn’t take long for him to realize the crux of the issue.
His beta…
The Alpha knew how meticulous he had been from the moment the King arrived to their pack. He made
sure everything was up to if not over the standard, so that the sovereign wouldn’t be offended at any
point.
The only thing the King could possibly be angry about should be Abby, his newly found mate’s life here.
When the King asked him about his mate, he was really calm that the Alpha didn’t think Micah would
have such a strong reaction like this, though he wasn’tpletely ignorant like his stupid beta, as he
thought Micah would react in some way.
Shifters are protective in nature, possessive even. Had he been in the King’s shoes, he wouldn’t have
been so calm, for mates were really important to shifters. So, he could only imagine how angry the King
was to find his mate after so long only to learn how wrongly she had been treated all her life.
Yes, he knew what was happening and never stopped Ryan. But he couldn’t be calm anymore when
the King made this his problem until he didn’t hesitate to humiliate his beta like this. And now, even
Alpha james was implicated until he was being held ountable for Ryan’s wrong doings
“My King, my beta is insensible,” Alpha James started, testing the waters. Sure enough, Micah’s eyes
hardened as his grip around Abby’s waist tightened a tiny bit. “He should have been…”

However, his voice trailed off when the king interrupted him, “And you let him run rampant until his
insensitivity implicated others and now he is uncontroble”
Alpha James didn’t need any confirmation anymore, this was indeed about Abby, but he wasn’t stupid
to not understand the King’s stance here. The King stopped him before he could mention Abby’s name.
He was clearly being protective of her. So, he too wisely shut up and yed along with the King.
“My King, I should have been more careful. I ept any kind of punishment for not keeping my beta in
check.” Alpha James was not an alpha for no reason. He understood the gravity of the situation and
was cunning enough to extricate himself from this
was d that the Alpha was wise enough to read the situation. James understood where the
King stood in this matter. But, it didn’t mean Micah would forgive him that easily.
“Alpha James, one’s ignorance could lead not only himself to his own demise, but also the people.
around him.” It was a clear warning. Micah clearly implied that the Alpha was ipetent once again.
Even though the Alpha never actively hurt Abby, he never tried to sympathize with her either. He let the
abuse happen until Abby became what she was now.
So, Micah didn’t hesitate to humiliate the Alpha in front of his own people. This should be enough. of a
punishment for him.
“As for your Beta, he will be stripped from his position right at this instant.” The authority in the King’s
voice made the Beta in question shudder in fear.
Ryan immediately wailed, pleading for mercy. “My King, I was wrong. Spare this lowly subject of yours
onest time. I’ll definitely straighten my ways.”
He promised all kinds of things, even going as far as saying he would ept any kind of punishment.
However, just one look from Micah was enough to shut him up again. Forget his position, the look on
the King’s face at that instant made him fear for his own life.
Meanwhile, Abby couldn’t believe what she just heard, and before she could ask Micah to stop, King
made another statement. “Whip Ryan and Hanna a hundred times.”
the
By now, everyone present could tell why Beta Ryan was being punished, only they couldn’t understand
why the King was standing up for her. And why the girl was pressed so close to the King’s side. The
fact that Abby was King’s destined mate hadn’t yet been made public, so they were still clueless about
this connection.
On the other hand, Hanna and Ryan immediately started apologizing to Abby, understanding that the
King wouldn’t listen to them anymore.
“Abby, my good daughter. Father was wrong. Forgive me, will you?” He was so desperate that it
sounded like he was ordering her instead of pleading with her.
“Abby, please, don’t let thiyhappen to me,” Hanna also shed all pretenses as she too started pleading
with Abby.

Even until a few moments carlier, it never crossed either of Ryan and Hanna’s mind that they would be
punished so severely like this. This was simply unbelievable. Now, they didn’t have any other option left
but to beg Abby, the very person they stepped on until the day before.

They never thought there woulde a day, where their Gates would fall in that monster’s to be
decided upon. Being whipped a hundred times meant, to be beaten to an inch of one’s life, if not sure
death. Not to mention the fact that Ryan should kiss goodbye to his beta position.
Meanwhile, Hanna was so scared she started shaking from head to toe while crying her eyes out and
begging Abby to save herself.
“Abby, please save me, I’ll never mistreat you again,” Hanna wailed at the top of her lungs.
On the other hand, Abby couldn’t stomach either their predicament or their terrified pleas to be saved.
Her heart constricted to see Ryan and Hanna treated so harshly.
“My King, please don’t beat them,” Abby finally whispered to him when she couldn’t take it anymore. It
was so ufortable seeing them like this that Abby had to avert her eyes a few times, just to will
away the images of the desperate looks on their faces. “I don’t want to see them get beaten up.”
When Micah heard her, he wanted to make her see that their punishment was well warranted, even
though it camete. However, he couldn’t be stern with her and assert his iron fist when she looked. so
vulnerable while crying for her decade long abusers, pleading with himself to spare them.
“Please, think of another punishment.” Abby requested him with sincerity.
She was so soft hearted and vulnerable, he didn’t have the heart to deny her first request to himself.
But he couldn’t let them off that easily either.
“Do you want them dead at once?” Micah said, shocking Abby along with the other people.
The situation escted so fast, Abby felt her head spin at his words. “No,” she almost shouted.
“Please, don’t hurt them,” Abby finally said, still sounding so unsure about what to feel about this
whole situation.
It was Micah’s turn to be speechless, but he was, at least, d that Abby didn’t readily forgive them.
She only asked to change the punishment and for it to not hurt.
It seemed like even his mate understood that he had to punish them for his own piece of mind, and
even though she wasn’tpletely sure about himself being her mate, she chose to lean onto himself
and gave him the right to be protective of her.
As for the mate thing, he swore to solve the mystery why she couldn’t recognize him as her mate
immediately.
“Okay, leave it to me,” Micah told her atst before turning to the Beta and his alpha.
“Both Ryan and his elder daughter are to be exiled from this kingdom,” Micah finally announced before
the still bbergasted pack members.
With that said, Micah didn’t wait a second longer there as he left with Abby close to him, letting
Wed, 6 Mar BOD.
Alpha James deal with the father and daughter duo.
And before James could suck in a breath of relief, he was summoned by the King again, where he was
ordered to appoint apetent beta for his own pack with immediate effect. Alpha James almost
shivered when he heard the wordpetent, as he felt like he just received a second warning.
