The moment Mical left the carriage, Abby felt her surroundings closing in on her as the vicious growls


    reverberated in the fight that was happening right outside this carriage echoed through the walls of this


    and the sounds reminded her of the moment the King killed that guard.


    The same moment she opened her eyes only to find a severed head mped between Micah’s ck


    beast’s canines as blood dripped down the fur on his front, as he growled low under his breath.


    When the horrifying images from that night reyed in her mind without her interference, the girl


    couldn’t help but cower into a corner and hug herself tightly,


    Abby didn’t know how to stop the images from racking her consciousness when the growls and shouts


    of killing each other out there kept ringing in her mind.


    Moreover, this was the first time she had ever heard how rogues fought, with no restraint and care


    while the sound of beasts tearing flesh and limbs apart from body’s so vivid in the clear evening wind,


    her whole body started shaking.


    She curled herself into a fetal position and closed both of her cars with her palms as hard as she could,


    wanting to block out those horrifying sounds, but there was no use.


    And this was the same position the King found his mate in, the moment he hurried back to the carriage


    to check on her.


    Only Micah knew how surprised he was when his mate broke into silent sobs as twin streams of tears


    flowed down her eyes the moment he tried to get her attention to tell her that the threat had


    been removed.


    “Abby, little one,” Micah called her as he pulled her into hisp just as he settled beside her.


    Only the girl was inconsble as she wouldn’t stop crying her eyes out. And this left the King helpless.


    “Little one,


    did you get hurt somewhere?” He asked her softly as he rubbed her head and back while hugging her


    close.


    He knew there wasn’t a chance for her to get hurt. Dax literally guarded the coach like a watchdog to


    ensure his future queen’s safety, not to mention it was a direct order from his king.


    However, in response to his question, the only thing he got was a subtle head shake from the shivering


    mess in his hands. Had her head not been pressed to his chest, he would have missed her


    answer.


    But learning she didn’t get hurt wasn’t enough for his worries to disappear, while the girl would say


    nothing but hug him tighter with each second that passed.


    Maybe because she was frightened by the fierce battle just now, she was having a breakdown like. this.


    On the other hand, Abby didn’t know how to answer his questions while the urge to crush herself to


    16:16 Fri, 8 Mar RGB


    him only intensified with every breath she took.


    How could she not hug him closer when the thoughts of losing him kept racking her mind?


    Yes, Abby was scared that she would lose Micah.


    60%


    She saw how he was strong enough to kill a warrior in one swift move. Moreover, he wasn’t the King of


    this Kingdom for namesake.


    He was both able and capable.


    However, the stories she heard about the rogues killing people with no rhyme and reason if they turned


    feral took the major seat on her fears and the thought they might kill Micah wouldn’t let her wait in


    peace just like the King expected her to.


    He was the only person she had left in this world, and if he too left, her life would only be more


    miserable.


    On the other hand, Micah could only try to calm her down when he didn’t have any idea why she was


    crying hysterically until she felt short of breath.


    It took a while for Abby to calm down, but when the king tried to ask her what happened or sit her


    beside him, she clung to him like a baby ko and Micah could onlyugh at her sudden


    protectiveness.


    Hugging him like that, she fell asleep once her tears dried up, not willing to loosen her arms around his


    waist even in her sleep. Like he would disappear from her sight if she didn’t hold him. tight enough.


    Disappear?


    Micah looked at the sleeping girl in his arms, only then did he understand why she was this afraid; it


    was not because she got hurt or that she had been frightened by the fight out there.


    It was because she thought she might never see him again. She cried for him.


    The King felt this warm and fuzzy feeling tickling his heart when he thought back to the moment she


    started crying. It was out of relief, even though it seemed a little silly.


    However, Micah couldn’t deny one thing. No matter who, no one ever felt this scared to lose himself.


    And this thought made him smile as he kissed her forehead before mindlinking Dax that they were


    ready to go.


    Because of the rogue attack, they could only reach the premises of the Red River pack just before the


    sun rose on the third day since they started from the pce.


    However, Alpha Samuel, the Alpha of the Red River pack, who received a secret missive that the


    sovereign had nned to drop by his pack beforehand, came down to the borders of his pack’s territory


    to wee the King and his entourage when he learned that the sovereign got dyed on

    his way here.


    “My king.” Alpha Samuel knelt before the King’s coach as the few warriors he brought with him.


    followed his cue and showed the courtesy the King deserved. “I’m terribly sorry that you have to


    experience this kind of thing while you were on your way to our pack,” Alpha Samuel, along with his


    warriors, kowtowed to the King as he apologized profusely.


    Micah didn’t bother to greet the Alpha in return as several other things upied his mind right now. He


    just nodded his head once before joining Abby who just woke up only to find so many warriors kneeling


    in front of their carriage.


    When they all greeted her, addressing her as ady, Abby almost cowered back again. But her promise


    to Micah kept her frompletely giving away herself as she managed to nod at them a little.


    Before she could even think of asking them to get up. Dax beat her to it as he narrowed his eyes at the


    Alpha. “Instead of wasting time like this, why don’t you show the way to your pack house so that we


    can interrogate those pieces of trash?”


    Dax had this sinister smile on his face and the Alpha couldn’t help but tremble at the viciousness in the


    royal gamma’s voice.


    This interrogation was going to be very creative.


    Once they reached the pack house, Micah told Abby to stay put in the guest bedroom prepared for


    them. Her maids would keep herpany while the King had to go away to deal with something.


    Even though Micah didn’t let up anything, so as not to worry her, Abby could still put two and twor


    together.


    Micah was going to interrogate those rogues himself.


    Screams and growls filled this dark dungeon as the rogues alternated between pleading for mercy and


    threatening to kill their torturers who wanted to make them talk.


    They were stubborn enough not to submit even when they were beaten to an inch of their lives.


    Watching from the side, Dax couldn’t help but admire their resolve since it was something rare to be


    seen in rogues.


    Rogues were generally uncontroble, yes, but they were not suicidal. And the rogues that had been.


    attacking the capital city for the past few days had been nothing but suicidal.


    Moreover, these few were so different from the rogues they encountered usually in several other


    factors. They were organized, moved ording to a n, the most important anomaly of all, they were


    coordinating in groups while cooperating with each other.


    Rogues couldn’t do any of these things.

    The more he thought, the more he felt how odd this situation was.


    And such variation must definitely be dealt in an equally cruel way. Usual torturing techniques. brough


    no fear out of them.


    The royal gamma felt the need to take the things into his own hands.


    60%


    However, just as Dax was about to step forward, he saw Micah walking into the dungeon with Alpha


    Samuel in his tow.


    Now, this is going to be interesting.


    “Did they say anything?” the King asked his royal gamma, his eyes hard and fixed on the rogues that


    were snarling with reddened eyes.


    “Not yet.” Dax said with a knowing smile. “Maybe they need a touch of royal treatment,” he smirked.


    The King looked at his royal gamma, but thetter just shrugged. He even opened his hand as if to


    offer the stage to the sovereign.


    On the other hand, Micah was more than happy to extract information from these bastards.


    Everything about these rogues was out of norm, while there was nothing ordinary to this situation.


    Moreover, how did they end up attacking an ordinary looking carriage that took that routest night of


    all ces? Not to mention it was around two days of journey from the capital, where they were


    attacking the most recently.


    Since their trip was supposed to bepletely confidential, how did the rogues end up attacking them


    so urately?


    Was it purely coincidence? Or did they have prior information!


    These few questions had been circling his mind since the attack and his blood would boil everytime he


    went back to the thought Abby would have been implicated or even injured, had they seeded and


    got to her.


    He had been holding back from exploding from the fury he had been bottling up as he still had to take


    care of Abby. But the girl was now secure and he didn’t have to refrain from doing what he wanted to


    do.


    “I’m not particrly feeling patient right now. So, what else should being out of your mouths other


    than mindless garbling?” Micah’s voice was even, but his words were enough to make the rogues


    shudder a little, as the aura around the King’s frame turned particrly dangerous at this


    moment.


    He walked to the rogue with the least wounds among them as his beast emerged to the surface. before


    razor sharp ws elongated from the tips of the fingers of his half shifted hand.


    “So, were you guys aware I was in that carriage?” Micah said, but before he hadpletely uttered the


    last word, the other rogues watched as he crushed the head of the rogue before his feet swiftly.


    4/5


    5/5


    Blood sttered everywhere while the other rogues kept snarling at the king.


    Because they were made to eat the crushed Rottingbane leaves, they couldn’t shift and could only fight


    in their much weaker human bodies.


    On the other hand Micah waspletely calm as he shook off the gray matter from his ws as he


    proceeded to lock on his next target.


    This time, he swiftly cut off two rogues‘ heads before turning to the others.


    “Still no one wants to speak?” Micah casually dropped this question as he drove his ws into his next


    target’s eyes, finishing him off in an instant.


    Dax almost bumped his fist into the air when he saw how the remaining rogues dropped their jaws


    while their eyes widened at the King’s disy of strength.


    “They finally understood whom they were dealing with,” Dax smirked as he whispered to Alpha Samuel


    excitedly, while thetter remained silent.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    In a matter of few seconds, nearly five of the rogues were killed in the most brutally possible ways until


    only four left.


    As such Micah’s approach didn’t take long to yield results as the smallest of them all finally caved in.


    “W–we we–were aware,” he said, his voice almost inaudible.
