“I want you to mark me.” Abby murmured against his lips, wanting to convince the King at any cost.


    She knew she was being selfish for asking him to mark her out of the blue like this and trying to tie


    himself to her.


    But the thought of everything turning upside down if an unknown variable came along and Micah was


    pushed into a situation where he had to chase her out outweighed everything else.


    She didn’t want to find herself living a miserable life again. She didn’t think she could endure what she


    had right now being taken away from her.


    And a miserable life was what would await her if her worst fears were toe true and Micah ended


    up thinking he made a mistake of believing in herself to be someone suitable to stand beside him


    and rule this kingdom before she could even get a proper chance to try and prove she was worthy of


    the King.


    If one didn’t taste sweetness, they wouldn’t crave for it. Abby’s situation was no different from this.


    After experiencing Micah’s love and kindness, no less post to a decade of suffering under the hands of


    the very people who were supposed to love her no matter what, the girl found herself craving it all the


    more like an addict.


    She didn’t dare imagine how to cope up if she was really deprived of his affection one day, since he


    was the only person she could rely on in this whole world right now.


    Just the thought of him abandoning her was enough to make her forget her reservations as she


    clumsily kissed the King while pulling him closer to herself.


    The girl


    even didn’t hesitate to press herself against the King, until her heated core was flushed against his


    length.


    However, the size of his member sent her heart beat rotcheting, as it grew hard against her thigh. Only


    she didn’t let it intimidate her as she tentatively bit Micah’s lips, making him growl dangerously.


    She had only one thing on her mind right now, and her fears wouldn’t let her deviate from achieving her


    goal tonight.


    Meanwhile, Micah, who was stupefied by her sudden boldness and active seducing, felt his hard.


    earned self control crumbling in an instant.


    But somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew where Abby wasing from. So even though he


    was having a hard time controlling his ring desire for his mate, he willed his hardness to go down as


    he tried to detach his lips from hers first.


    “Abby, little one, Micah nearly growled her name when the girl was almost in a trance until she couldn’t


    remember her surroundings anymore, with only bing one with him kept racking her mind.


    To top it off, Abby actually whined when Micah was struggling to pull away from her sweet

    temptation. She wasn’t loud enough, but to his extra sensitive ears right now, it felt like a siren call and


    Micah almost glued his lips to hers once again.


    Only the realization that Abby was only being like this because of her fears stopped the King from


    ripping her dress apart and ravaging her like he intended to from the first time he tasted her sweet lips


    on their first evening in their current bedroom which was also his former bedroom.


    He thought refraining from touching her for the past three weeks was the hardest thing he had ever


    done. Only at this moment did he realize how wrong he had been.


    The agony he felt pulling himself away from her was simply iparable. Her lips were the sweetest


    thing he had ever got a chance to taste, while the spark that followed everysh of her tongue against


    his firmly closed lips was easily the next thing he wanted to live for.


    And to make things worse, her sweet arousal, even though faintpared to his own raging desire for


    her, chose this moment to hit his senses and drove him insane further.


    This was pure hell. The King couldn’t help but curse under his breath.


    But he couldn’t afford to hurt her. He needed to stop her right now.


    Her body was in no condition to go through the marking process with him for now, especially when she


    was this distressed.


    However, his little mate didn’t seem to have any survival instincts at all as she continued to y with


    fire. Literally


    “Please, mark me,” Abby pleaded with him, her voice almost inaudible from the embarrassment she


    was trying to suppress. If she stopped even for a second, it would catch up to her and her momentary


    courage would end up going up in smoke.


    Meanwhile, the King didn’t know how to calm her down when he couldn’t even control himself.


    She was clearly inexperienced and awkward, but it only added to her innocently adorable charm and


    the King swore she was going to be the death of him.


    On the one hand, only he knew how badly he wanted to im her from the moment heid his eyes on


    her. Of course, apart from his beast that would constantly whine for himself to mark Abby and make her


    his.


    On the other hand, he couldn’t give into the temptation and mark her. She was only fuelled by her fears


    of being abandoned by him and living a lifepletely alone.


    Not to mention the King didn’t know how to avoid hurting her if she thought he didn’t want her if he


    pushed her away actively.


    So he held her head with both palms as he kissed her forehead to help her calm down first.


    “Little one, listen to me first,” Micah’s voice came out strained as he spoke against her skin.


    Even though sitting separately would help him keep control of his desire more efficiently, his need to


    hold her close wouldn’t let him stop touching her.

    So he endured the sweet agony while talking to Abby.


    “Nothing you are afraid of is going to happen,” Micah started, hitting right on the head of the nail of her


    fears and leaving her stunned.


    Abby stiffened a bit at his words while the King let her digest his words for a second. “Don’t let your


    fears cloud your judgment and make you act rashly.”


    Micah inhaled deeply once, filling his nostrils with her sweet scent and then spoke to her in a gentle


    voice as he pressed her head to his chest before proceeding to rub her neck with one hand while


    holding her close to him by her shoulders.


    He could understand she was only acting out of impulse, so he chose to help her clear her head while


    trying to make her understand this was not the right time.


    “Moreover, you are not ready yet, Micah continued as he started exining why it was a bad decision


    right now.


    “The process of marking is very dangerous and the changes it brings to your body are no joke.” The


    King continued in a soft voice as he told her that he understood her fears. And that there was nothing


    she needed to be worried about.


    Only the more Micah talked, the more Abby stiffened. But the King didn’t let her over think when he


    lifted her head to look into her eyes directly.


    His eyes were filled with love when he solemnly dered. “I am more than happy to wait until you are


    truly ready.”


    Even though he repeatedly told her that his patience for her had no end, Abby couldn’t help but give


    space to the fear that one day he would be really fed up with her just like Arthur said.


    His words were also what made Abby think Micah could easily walk away from her if they didn’t


    complete the bond as soon as possible until she had resorted to forcing Micah to mark herself.


    “Let’s take things slow, my sweet little one,” the King finally said when he saw that his mate had calmed


    down considerably.


    On the other hand, Abby couldn’t say anything anymore when he put it that way, despite her worries


    still kept eating away at her.


    She couldn’t push him in fear it would annoy him, when she had already offered herself to him despite


    her insecurities about her own body.


    She tried her best to not let the fact that he didn’t mark her right away influence her emotions as she


    nodded yes to his request.


    Right at that moment, her stomach growled and Micah couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “You missed dinner.”


    Micah’s question came out as a statement while Abby lowered her head, embarrassed a little. The King


    didn’t even need to question her why as he pulled himself to his feet with Abby in his arms.


    16:16 F, B Mar R


    It was nearly midnight and she was very weak to begin with. Moreover, she exhausted herself so much


    tonight on an empty stomach.


    But he didn’t say a word to her as he carried the girl to their bedroom, where she saw a big tter of


    fruits waiting for her.


    Apparently, the King mind linked someone to send some food to their room.


    Micah walked them both to the bed directly and sat her down after stacking a few pillows behind her


    back against the headboard.


    The King then fed his mate who didn’t say anything, maybe out of embarrassment after what she tried


    to pull earlier, while Micah chose to not talk about it lest it would make her ufortable.


    He then proceeded to hug her to sleep, where the girl fell asleep in no time.


    “Good night, little one, you have had a long day,” Micah murmured against her cheek as he inhaled her


    sweet scent and fell asleep with her,


    By the time Abby woke up the next day, Micah was long gone. Instead, what greeted her still sleepy


    was her maids‘ twin smiling faces, as they smiled from ear to ear.


    “Good morning, Lady Abby.” Both Alyssa and Reyna wished her as soon as she opened her eyes,


    Abby felt a little disoriented after waking up, she couldn’t respond to her maids immediately.


    The emotional roller coaster she experienced the day before seemed to have taken a toll on her until


    she needed to gather how she fell asleepst night.


    Then she remembered hering trip with Micah to the Red River pack, and a beautiful smile


    blossomed on her lips.


    She was excited about this trip, as it would be her first time going out of the pce after literally being


    cooped up in this room for almost a month.


    Micah said they would leave as soon as possible and Abby couldn’t wait to explore one more new


    ce.


    Seeing her smile so happily the first thing she woke up, made a simr smile appear on both Alyssa


    and Reyna’s countenances.


    “Lady Abby, did something good happen?” Reyna couldn’t hold back her curiosity, looking at Abby’s


    smiling face.


    Abby looked at Alyssa and Reyna with excitement evident in her eyes. “I’m just happy that I’m going on


    a trip soon.”


    Abby told them vaguely as she didn’t reveal the main reason for their departure.


    sa


    It was a tacit understanding between herself and Micah to not talk about this to anyone. The less


    people knew about this strange situation, the less troubles they would have to face.


    After all, if people found out about this, there was a high possibility of them thinking that the King. was


    being cheated out of his feelings, or otherplicated stuff. So it was better to keep this piece. of


    information in between them.


    On the other hand, her maids didn’t find anything odd with her vague answer as they thought the King


    was simply being romantic and wanting to spend quality time with his mate.


    The two of them were very happy that the King was finally spared by Abby andughed with Abby. as


    they shared what little they knew about the Red River pack.
