“Can you find out where King Micah is?”


    Abby got down from the bed while wiping her cheeks. Her voice came out a little too raspy, only then


    did she realize how parched her throat was.


    Alyssa immediately thrusted a ss of water into her hands while Reyna looked at her with her. mouth


    agape.


    They couldn’t believe their ears.


    Both Alyssa and Reyna were still contemting until a moment ago what kind of affect Arthur’s words


    would leave on Abby.


    They knew the girl was unusually sensitive for a shifter and from the way she had cried her heart. out


    for an hour earlier after reaching the bedroom made them lose their hopes on any progress Abby made


    in her fight against her fear toward Micah. In Dax’s words.


    Reyna kept asking Alyssa to let the King know while her fellow maid kept refusing to follow her idea as


    they didn’t know how Abby would react if Micah were toe find her about this.


    That was why they couldn’t do anything about it for thest three hours while Abby stayed silent, just


    like she did until a week back after the incident that night.


    So Alyssa and Reyna couldn’t believe what they heard when Abby asked for themselves to find out


    where the King was now.


    In their shock, neither of them gave her an answer.


    On the other hand, Abby felt her throat hurting a little when drinking the water but she couldn’t care less


    about it as she thought Alyssa and Reyna didn’t get her question because her voice didn’te out


    right.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She quickly gulped down her drink and asked the maids the same question. “Can you find out where


    King Micah is?”


    “Right away,” Alyssa replied to Abby, as she immediately rushed out to gather the information.


    And fifteen minutester, Alyssa and Reyna followed Abby, who looked deep in her thoughts, as they


    guided her to the main hall where the King was apparently having a meeting with n and the


    others.


    “n, what is the situation at the border?” Micah asked n, who just entered the main hall with. the


    royal gamma in his tow.


    “My King, there had been two more attempts to breach the border this afternoon,” n reported,


    handing


    Over a bunch of reports to the King so that he could take a look at them.


    Two new ces, right?” Micah asked his royal beta, as he received the reports.

    “Yes, my king.” Dax beat n


    to it, looking all serious as well. Gone was his yful behavior, as the


    warrior in him made an appearance.


    “As expected,” Micah eximed.


    Even though the frequency of these random attacks increasedtely, they remained honestly, random.


    They were not attacking the same ce twice. It would always be a new ce. It was as if they were


    searching for something.


    On the other hand, defending against these proved to be challenging when the capital city was


    obviously huge and it had only three official entry points, where the security would be high profile.


    And due its vast span, it was impossible to fortify an entire city, let alone a city as big as their capital.


    The so–called borders were just geographical limits around a huge area.


    And so the possibility of breaches became easy as it was impossible to post that many guards just to


    guard around the border.


    “But there were no casualties among themon people?” Micah asked again as he flipped through


    the first report. He couldn’t understand why the attacks were happening. There was no


    At this point, it seemed like they were trying to enter the capital city just to tour around a little.


    “No, my king,” n said as he too couldn’t understand why the rogues weren’t going berserk.


    They weren’t supposed to be able to sport such control at all. This alone was proof enough that these


    attacks were not something ordinary at all.


    Micah fell deep in thought while n and Dax waited for his input on what they needed to do next.


    “Let’s…” Micah started but stopped right after uttering his first word when an unexpected scent


    breached his thought process as he stood up immediately.


    He rushed to the huge doors of this main hall,pletely forgetting about his next inmands. and


    the problems of rogues, with urgency evident in his steps.


    Micah almost knocked down the door in his haste to reach the other side and the sight of the other


    person waiting right outside the door left him breathless.


    In front of him was Abby, sporting an identical expression to the frightened look she gave him thest


    few times he tried to approach her.


    And then he noticed herplexion.


    Redness spread all over her face. Her eyes, her nose and even her cheeks. Micah felt his heart


    thudding painfully at the sight.


    She had been crying…


    Why?

    16.15 Fri, 8 Mar RGD.


    Micah almost lost his temper again seeing her like this. The thought of herself getting hurt sent violence


    pulsing through his frame.


    However, the amount of regret that wrecked his heart for the past three weeks for scaring her that night


    helped him clear the angry haze and see that she was scared by him again.


    Damn!


    He needed to cool down first.


    Meanwhile, Abby, who just reached the main hall, didn’t expect Micah to suddenly stumble into. her


    vision at all.


    She was busy with her thoughts, that was why she didn’t talk a syble to either Alyssa or Reyna after


    asking for themselves to take herself to Micah.


    There were so many things in her mind right now,pletely jumbled up, so she wanted to make use


    of her time on her way here to rearrange her thoughts.


    The discussion she wanted to have with the King was very important.


    But his sudden appearance sent all her thoughts scattering again as she stood frozen before the man


    with her eyes wide open, like a deer in front of its predator.


    It had been three weeks since she saw him without fear clouding her senses and she couldn’t help but


    stare at him, which forced the King to stay silent as well.


    And this was what greeted n and Dax, who were waiting for his input until a moment ago, were


    speechless with his sudden actions and followed him to the door.


    but


    Dax was about to shout in triumph and say that he seeded in his mission when n noticed Abby’s


    eyes and shut down the royal gamma,


    n signalled for Dax to look at Abby carefully before pulling him away from the King and his


    mate.


    On the other hand, Alyssa and Reyna, who saw the King’s next inmands leave immediately while


    silently prompting the other warriors to leave as well, followed suit and left Abby alone with Micah.


    The warriors around the main hall didn’t understand why n was rushing them to leave, but they


    didn’t dare to disobey him.


    So, despite their curiosity over this sudden turn of events, they still dragged their feet away from the


    King and his mate, but they wouldn’t stop to turn around and look at the King every other step.


    And Abby, who was the actual focus of their gazes, felt ufortable and cowered a little at having so


    many scrutinising gazes directed at herself.


    Seeing this, Micah dragged her to a small room inside the main hall, so she could feel a little secure,


    away from prying gazes.


    Abby, who was suddenly pulled inside, almost resisted him immediately, but the next moment, her


    16:15 Fri, 8 Mar RGB.


    body rxed a bit as she realized Micah was just trying to provide her a more private setting.


    Once inside the room, Micah immediately released her hand before stepping a little away from her,


    even though it took every ounce of his energy to curb his need to keep touching her. Instead, he turned


    back to close the door behind them.


    Micah didn’t fail to notice the way her body protested a tiny bit earlier, so he immediately apologized for


    scaring her the moment he turned around to face her.


    “I’m sorry, little one, I just wanted to make you feel less ufortable,” Micah said in a soft voice, not


    forgetting to gauge her reaction to his actions.


    He remained close to the door, even though his body involuntarily leaned toward Abby, being


    overwhelmed by the urge to touch her again.


    However, he already used all his strength to release her hand earlier, so if he touched her again he


    wouldn’t be able to let her go for a long time.


    So he could only suppress the urge. He couldn’t afford to scare Abby even more.


    He needed his mate and being able to look at her in a close proximity was more than enough, for


    TOW.


    On the other hand, hearing his apology, Abby didn’t know what to say while tears pooled in her eyes


    again. She was sad and the King felt his heart bleeding.


    Micah had to physically stop himself from not eating up the distance between them and pull her into his


    arms when she looked so dejected..


    It was clear that Abby hade to find himself to talk about something. So he focused on that part. not


    wanting to pressure her more than she already looked before she could say what she wanted to.


    And it helped him to stay rooted to his ce as he waited for her to open her mouth.


    Meanwhile, Abby had so much to say to him, but when she finally saw him, her grievances


    overwhelmed her so much she started crying again the moment she opened her mouth.


    Just as Micah wanted to ask what was wrong and why she had been crying, he saw Abby crying


    without a sound again. The sight was heartbreaking-


    Watching her tear up with a pitiful look on her face, Micah couldn’t refrain anymore as he reached for


    her and pulled her into his arms.


    She was so small and soft in his arms, Micah felt his entire body thrum in satisfaction just at the feel of


    her against his frame.


    Only he knew how much he missed her. He tried to pat her head and calm her down.


    But the girl was inconsble as she cried even harder, and in no time, the front of his shirt was


    drenched in her tears.


    “What happened, little one? Tell me and I’ll make it right,” Micah could only say this when he couldn’t


    help but feel helpless as to how to console her.

    Only Abby wouldn’t show him any mercy as she kept crying pitifully in his arms even though he asked


    her the reason repeatedly.


    Finally, Micah couldn’t think of anything else to make her talk and apologized for scaring her again.


    “I’m sorry,


    little one, I didn’t mean to scare you that night,” the King whispered softly into the ear of the girl


    trembling in his arms.


    Abby immediately shook her head against his chest and this left Micah confusing.


    Seeing her cry this hard without saying anything. Micah thought she was still ufortable about that


    incident at the pce gates..


    So when she shook her head, Micah couldn’t help pulling a bit away from her as he held her face with


    one hand to look into her tear filled eyes while holding her waist with the other.


    “It’s not about that?” Micah thought out loud, but Abby didn’t say anything and just leaned into his hand


    further, seeking his touch. But he couldn’t enjoy this change in her right now.


    Even though there were still tears streaming down her face, he could no longer feel any fear toward


    himself in her system. However, there was a new fear in the depths of her eyes and her next words left


    him stunned for a moment.


    “Please, don’t leave me,” Abby cried, pleading with him pitifully while her hands behind his back


    gripped the back of his shirt tighter.
