“The two of you are really on fire,” the royal gammamented, eliciting a deep growl from the King.


    Abby felt so embarrassed, her cheeks immediately turned pink at hisment.


    Even though she was still fully clothed, her dress was beyond disheveled from their almost rendezvous


    earlier and coupled with her messy bed hair and reddened cheeks, she looked far from presentable.


    Micah’s state wasn’t any different from hers. To be honest, he was actually shirtless, as he tossed the


    sleeping robe aside in the heat of the moment earlier, leaving him in a pair offortable pants.


    One look at them, and the royal gamma could immediately tell what happened until a moment before


    the King called him to put out the so–called fire.


    Abby felt like crying when she realized how embarrassing it was to be caught red handed like this.


    She immediately cowered behind the King as Micah stepped in front of her, so that she could rearrange


    her dress.


    He didn’t have time to think about their appearances when he called for his royal gamma toe, as


    all he had in mind was to take Abby to safety, away from the fire his mate created herself


    unconsciously, as soon as possible.


    On the other hand, Dax’s face was full of mischief as he turned around to throw a look at the Alpha


    behind him, as he wriggled his brows for no reason, while thetter stood there with a neutral


    expression on his face.


    Micah could hear Dax’s thoughts from a mile. This trouble maker of a royal gamma didn’t seem to


    have any intention to stop after a whistle and a suggestivement.


    But he couldn’t let him open his mouth one more time when his little one was about to fold into herself.


    So when the royal gamma turned around to face the King, wanting to walk into their bedroom, Micah


    stepped back a little and shut the door in Dax’s face before shouting, “Scram!”


    Dax, who got a door shut in his face, was stunned for a short second before breaking into peals of


    laughter.


    Micah heard him say something along the lines, ‘I really didn’t see anything. It was followed by his


    laughter which echoed in the corridor outside.


    Micah could only shake his head at this turn of events as he turned to Abby, “Little one, would you like


    to change your dress first?”


    Abby couldn’t understand why he asked her this all of a sudden, so when she looked confused the

    King borated further.


    “Let’s shift to another room.”


    Immediately, Abby scrambled to the bathroom as if the hem of her dress was on fire.


    Micah chuckled at her reaction as he shouted after her, “You forgot your dress, little one.”


    And then he continued tough when the girl slipped out of the bathroom in a sh to get her dress


    before hurrying back into the bathroom.


    Micah had to take care of something after he took Abby to their new room where he left her with her


    personal maids.


    But it took him an entire day, and by the time he returned to their new room in the evening, the sky was


    completely dark as the sun was long gone.


    He dismissed the maids at the door itself, wanting to make sure Abby was alright first.


    However, the girl was nowhere to be seen.


    But then her scent told him that she was really nearby.


    Following her scent, he realized she was in the room adjacent to the connecting bathroom, where they


    could dress up after bathing, but there was no movement from inside.


    “Little one, can Ie inside?”


    Even though he didn’t need to be so conscious like this, the King still asked for her permission, not


    wanting to startle her out of the blue.


    Only Abby didn’t answer him immediately with a yes or no like he expected her to.


    Being left with no other choice, Micah entered the room, but the girl still didn’t notice him.


    “Little one,” the King called out softly, when he saw her standing still in front of the mirror.


    As soon as he saw her standing still like that, the King thought that she was still embarrassed about the


    fire in the morning and was hiding even from her maids.


    But, when Abby finally turned around to face himself, hearing his voice, he noticed that she actually


    looked thoughtful.


    “Micah, you came just in time!” Abby eximed and the King couldn’t help but smile at her happy face


    the moment she realized he was back.


    Coming back to their room for this kind of wee from her was something he could get u


    used to.

    “What happened, little one?” Micah asked her as he walked closer to her until he was just an arm’s


    length away from her.


    “I just recalled something.” Abby said, before pulling the King back to the sleeping space in this


    room.


    Micah followed his little mate as she pushed him to sit on the bed and then proceeded to sit next to


    him.


    “You recalled something?” The King promoted Abby as soon as she sat and saw how the girl nodded


    her head.


    “My mother told me about a bad guy when I was younger,” Abby started and saw Micah frowning


    his brows.


    “A bad guy?” Micah felt like pinching her cheeks when Abby put it like that. She was talking like a ten


    year old.


    On the other hand, Abby didn’t find anything wrong with her way of talking as she focused on recalling


    the exact words her mother told her.


    “Yes,” the girl answered seriously as she proceeded to tell the King about the bad guy Riley told her


    about through lubies and some bedtime stories.


    Yes, Riley didn’t tell little Abby directly about that man anything. She only told her some things. about


    this bad guy and how he wouldn’t stop at nothing to gain what he wanted through some lubies.


    Power.


    He wanted to be the most powerful being in this realm and did all kinds of bad things.


    Even though Abby knew all mothers told their children some stories to teach them fear and whatnot,


    what made Abby tell this to Micah was the name of that man.


    “Calpin,” Abby told Micah with this serious look in her eyes.


    “Calpin?” The King couldn’t help but repeat after her.


    However, Abby realized he didn’t make the connection.


    “Don’t you think he has the same name as the person who is using those rogues?” Abby could only


    point out directly.


    When Mire helped unlock her sealed memories, Abby remembered all the times Riley subtly warned


    her about bad people.


    How one’s greed for power could make them do things deemed unthinkable by most of the others.


    Even though Riley made them sound like some bedtime stories, Abby couldn’t help but notice how


    35


    73% M


    the bad guy’s name in every story of hers would always be Calpin.


    When Abby gathered all the memories of her mother with Mire’s aid in her hut the day before, she


    felt she heard the name Calpin before.


    But because she was too exhausted at that time, she didn’t have the energy to strain her brain and


    think about the things Micah told her after interrogating the rogues they captured on their journey to the


    Red River pack.


    However, amidst her small talk with Alyssa and Reyna before dinner earlier, she came to learn that the


    rogues had been dealt with.


    The girls didn’t go into the details but said what they heard the warriors had been talking about the


    captured rogues.


    And when she was reminded of those rogues, Abby suddenly felt like she forgot something important.


    Only when she came to wash her face after dinner, so that she could wait for Micah toe back. did


    she make the connection finally.


    Calpin.


    Wasn’t it the name of the person who was directing the rogues? Micah told her when she asked him.


    So when she finally made that connection, she tried to recall everything her mother told her about this


    Calpin guy.


    “My mother told me that he used dark magic to enhance his powers,” Abby said, shuddering a little at


    the possibility of someone from a story being real.


    On the other hand, Micah didn’t interrupt Abby once she started reiterating whatever she could


    remember.


    Apparently, Calpin waspletely blind by his greed for power, he resorted to using even dark magic.


    But then, a powerful witch stepped into the picture and confined him to a cave in a deserted ce after


    fighting him about a thousand years ago.


    That powerful witch sealed the cave and started this custom of guarding that cave so that the immured


    dark magic user couldn’t escape.


    After her, the duty of guarding that cave had been passed down through generations after generations


    of her family.


    “He seemed like a really bad guy,” Abby concluded, as she stared into Micah’s eyes seriously.


    “Yeah,” Micah agreed with her, but he didn’t think it was the same person.

    It seemed like aplete coincidence. They both happened to have simr names and were bad


    guys.


    With this thought, Micah told her not to worry too much. “It’s just a coincidence.”


    However, before he could end this conversation and put her to sleep as it was reallyte, he heard


    heavy footsteps approaching their bedroom.


    After a few seconds, Dax’s voice could be heard from outside as he knocked on their current bedroom


    door.


    “My King, there is another attack by the rogues!” The Royal Gamma shouted as he wanted to inform


    his King as soon as possible.
