“I’m really a monster, right?” Abby uttered, her face a mirror of horror as she continued, “I killed her… I


    killed my mother…” Her voice broke toward the end of her sentence.


    She was ming herself for that incident, or more precisely, her father and sister abused her so much


    that Abby couldn’t even recall how she herself was clearly a victim of that fire ident.


    “No, Abby. It was just an ident. Wrong time, wrong person, wrong ce and wrong everything else,”


    Micah stressed each and every word, but Abby was so lost in her own misery and self ming parade


    that she wouldn’t stop shaking.


    “No, My King, it was because I am a bringer of bad luck,” Abby was so caught up in her own fear of


    being abandoned by the one person who stood up for her in so long she couldn’t think straight at


    all.


    “No, my sweet little one, you were not at fault. You were a victim yourself,” Micah didn’t have any other


    choice but to hold her face with both of his hands so she would only look at himself when he told her


    that.


    She was a victim but her cunt of a father made her believe otherwise. She suffered at least a few third


    degree burns from her neck to her left shoulder for crying out loud. At the tender age of nine no less.


    And it left a huge fucking scar when she was a shifter. While shifters were known for their remarkable


    healing abilities.


    “But I killed my mother…” Abby couldn’t help but cry. Her father and sister told her that she killed her


    mother for ten years almost on a daily basis that it engraved deeply in her mind.


    “Yes, she died. But it was not because of you…. even if it was, it wasn’t enough of an excuse for your


    father and sister to hurt you. For ten years at that,” Micah patiently coaxed Abby to make her


    understand that what Ryan did was uneptable.


    As her father and only living parent, Ryan should have taken her into his arms when she lost her


    mother. Instead, he chose to pin the me on herself until she lost her other parent as well.


    “He only lost his mate, Abby. But you lost your whole family on that day,” Micah said, wiping her tears.


    “His punishment was nowhere equal to the amount of abuse he forced upon you. The same goes for


    your sister.”


    Micah was so patient with her, Abby couldn’t help but lean into his touch as she basked in the warmth


    he provided her. He was nothing but gentle and warm to her from the moment they metst night.


    Micah could sigh in relief when Abby gradually stopped self ming herself and whatnot as her


    inaudible sobs died down simultaneously,


    He could see that she was really tired, but she stubbornly waited for him to return so that she could talk


    with him. Only the topic of conversation was not something appealing to the King, though he was d


    that some weight on Abby’s shoulders would be eased after this conversation.


    Meanwhile, Abby was really sleepy and almost dozed off, feeling oddlyfortable in his presence


    when Micah said something and her body stiffened slightly.

    “Sleep early, little one, we have a long journey tomorrow,” Micah was now holding her hand with one


    hand while his other hand was still caressing her cheek in soft circles.


    “What happened?” Micah asked her when she looked like a deer in headlights, saying nothing.


    Again, instead of answering him, Abby searched his eyes and Micah didn’t have a choice but to repeat


    his question one more time before falling silent to wait for her answer.


    “We..?”


    Abby just said that single word as if she heard it for the first time in her life. And Micah. immediately


    understood what was wrong.


    “We are mates, Abby. So we will stay together. For that, you will follow me to my home tomorrow,”


    Micah said, understanding her dilemma. Even though she followed him around like a lost puppy today,


    it was only because of her special situation.


    Abby could ept him as her savior because he stood up for her and took care of both her and her


    feelings. But she still couldn’t feel the mate bond between them. And she couldn’t readily believe him


    even though he continuously proimed to be her destined mate.


    “But I don’t feel anything. Maybe you are wrong. Abby finally admitted.


    “No, little one, I’m a hundred percent sure about it. You are my mate, someone I’m going to spend my


    life with.” Micah could see that she was scared. But she didn’t have to be. He meant every single word


    he said. His beast could vouch for him.


    Abby felt touched hearing his words, but then her expression fell again. She felt self conscious as she


    remembered her scars as she couldn’t help but touch them.


    Her scars were so horrible to look at until people really saw her as a freak. She didn’t believe Micah


    would feel otherwise.


    wever, Micah beat her to it when he dropped his hand from her cheek to her neck and continued in a


    love filled voice, “You are someone I want to cherish.”

    His solemn promise was so sincere, Abby felt herself nodding, even though she was only half


    convinced by him.


    Micah understood that it was hard for her to believe himself whom she met only for one day. So he


    decided to give her the night to sleep on it. He was sure she would eventuallye around. With that


    thought, he proceeded to pull her to the bed.


    “Can you sleep now?” Micah changed the topic and Abby felt relieved that he didn’t call her on her


    uncertainty.


    “Yes,” Abby started, but she got a doubt halfway to the bed. “Where will you sleep?” Abby doubted if


    the King would want to sleep with her, since he believed she was his mate. What should she do then?


    Abby couldn’t help biting her lips at that thought. Moreover, this room was actually prepared


    for him.


    Micah could see how awkward she sounded when she asked him that question as her face started

    Abby, who was still thinking of ways to push the Kung away, didn’t realize the man was already by the


    door, ready to leave when she realized he was not touching her anymore.


    She opened her eyes and saw him opening the door. “You are leaving?”


    “Why? Want me to put you to sleep” Micali raised a brow, only then she realized the King was just


    teasing her


    And her response of burrowing further into the nket made Micali ckle as he closed the door


    behind him, shaking his head


    His mate is adorable. Period;


    However, when he thought about the people back from the pce, Micah’s expression hardened again.


    It would be hard for his timid mate to survive there. They would haveints to ept her as the


    Queen. Not to mention her scars. Abby could really use a good night’s sleep.


    The next morning. Abby woke up to the gentle knocking on the door and in the next moment, she saw


    Nadia, the royal healer, enter the guest bedroom.


    “Good morning, Lady Abby,” Nadia greeted her as she walked up to the bed before proceeding to


    check on her. She was here to make sure Abby was fine for the long journey ahead as it would take


    about two weeks to reach the capital city.


    “I’m here to check on you.” Nadia told her gently while Abby nodded at her in response to her and Jet


    Nadia do her job. But her eyes wandered to the door.


    “The King is waiting for you in his room,” Nadia supplied from the side


    Abby immediately lowered her eyes, seeing this, Nadia similed and fell silent.


    And an hourter, Abby was all set to leave. She could see Micah waiting for her right outside the


    door


    Together, Micah and Abby walked out of the pack house toward the waiting entourage. Abby could.

    Apparently, they all came to send the King off.


    Under everyone’s gazes, Abby was walking behind the King with her head lowered when she heard


    someone address her.


    “My child, Abby. I am wrong for turning a blind eye to your suffering all these years.”


    Abby heard Alpha James‘ voice, and immediately stopped in her tracks.


    However, she resumed walking in the next second, as if she didn’t hear anything.


    Seeing this. James wanted to stop her again, only he was greeted with the King’s angry re, which


    sessfully halted him in his tracks.


    And when the pack members tried to approach Abby, the royal warriors stepped forward to prevent


    them from bothering their future queen.
