Shifters were born with remarkable healing abilities, it was almost impossible for them to bear marks


    left by wounds, let alone scars. While the scars on Abby’s body actually extended from the left side of


    her neck to her left shoulder, further spanning to her back, covering arge amount of


    skin on her back.


    Any shifter who saw it could only imagine the severity of her wounds until it left such a huge mark.


    Abby’s scars had always been a sour spot for her. That was also why she didn’t want the maids sent by


    Micah to serve her on a personal level. Only they wouldn’t listen to her no matter what she said and


    here she was, trembling out of embarrassment at their reactions seeing her scars…


    “We are really sorry, we were just startled for a sec….” Alyssa started right after a terrified scream left


    her lips.


    Reyna recovered almost immediately as well… But the damage was already done.


    Abby couldn’t help but recall all those times people saw her as a freak, a monster, for bearing these


    scars. Their words, their faces, some filled with horror while others with disgust, all hit her so hard. the


    girl started shaking.


    Her head started to hurt really badly while the two maids continued to apologize to her profusely.


    However, not even two minutester, she heard them stutter before one of them addressed the


    King.


    Abby immediately stiffened. Tension rolled off her body as tears streamed down her face when Micah


    finally approached her and rearranged her clothes.


    “It’s okay, little one,” Micah said in an apologetic tone. He was genuinely concerned about her.


    However, Abby could only hear his sympathy for her and her heart broke even more as she sobbed


    softly. She wasn’t ready for him to see her like this. She knew she couldn’t hide it forever, but she


    wanted to, at least, mentally prepare herself first…

    “You saw everything?” Abby couldn’t stop the question, knowing fully well it was a stupid one.


    Of course, he saw her. In broad daylight.


    And the way she asked the question was so heart wrenching, Micah immediately felt rage bubbling


    inside his chest. Only it was directed at himself, as he had been too careless.


    “Little one…” Micah started when he saw her crying hard as she shook in his arms.


    She was sobbing so much he feared she would start huping after choking on her own tears. She


    was beyond inconsble and Micah felt his heart squeeze at the sight.


    “I’m sorry, I didn’t think this through first,” Micah said, pressing his lips to her forehead before bending


    down to carry her out of the bathroom. Abby immediately hugged his neck and snuggled closer to him


    as she buried her face in his shoulder.


    18:08 Wed, 6 Mar 8 D.


    The girl couldn’t help remembering the fact how her life had been turned upside down in just twenty


    four hours until she found herself in this strange ce, far away from her pack, the only ce she had


    ever known in her life. Now, she was all alone here, surrounded by strangers.


    Micah carried her to the bed and gentlyid her down before joining her, trying to console her by


    hugging her tightly.


    Meanwhile, Abby couldn’t stop crying for a long time, until she ended up crying herself to sleep in


    Micah’s arms.


    All that time, Micah patiently patted her back while whispering how he didn’t find her scars bothering at


    all. But it was impossible to rece a decade long pain with a few words of reassurance. Micah knew


    that too, thus he decided to prove it to her through his actions.


    By the time Abby woke up with a splitting headache, it was alreadyte in the evening. She couldn’t


    find Micah anywhere in their room, but was greeted with two new maids who were standing just beside


    the door holding a tray each.


    “Good evening, Lady Abby,” both of them said in unison before one of them continued to talk further.


    “We brought food and drinks,” the woman said before fallingpletely silent to wait for Abby’s


    answer.


    Meanwhile, Abby, who was still disoriented from sleep, took a really long time to process their


    words.


    But then, where were Alyssa and Reyna?


    Abby once again waited for Micah to return, forcing herself to stay awake. But the King had to deal with


    so many things, he could only return really well into the night.


    “You are still awake?” Micah asked her, frowning. The girl was tired but wouldn’t rest on time. He didn’t


    like this at all. She might worsen her health.


    Abby, who was struggling not to doze off, immediately stood upright seeing him enter this room. Their


    room.


    “I am waiting for you,” Abby answered in a voice so soft, Micah doubted if she was even fully awake.


    However, a momentter, when Abby’s answer finally registered in his mind, Micah couldn’t help but


    smile. Having someone to wait for yourself toe back was an all consuming feeling after all.


    He walked over to her and grabbed her hand to pull her to the bed. “You don’t have to wait for me to


    come. I would prefer you to sleep more. You look tired,” Micah told her, gently pushing her to the bed


    until she sat on the side of the bed.


    “I wanted to,” Abby blurted out as the King settled beside her on the bed.

    And the girl was rewarded with a beautiful smile from the King, only it dropped a tad too fast. Abby felt


    disappointed she didn’t look more clearly just now.


    “I have something to say to you,” Micah said, seemingly remembering something in the next


    second.


    “Okay, Abby immediately perked up her ears to listen to him carefully.


    But what the King said in the next moment left her so shocked she didn’t even dare breathe too loudly.


    “They decided it was best for us to have our mating ceremony as soon as possible,” Micah said.
