His Sweet Little Mate

Chapter 9

“How are yo

you feeling right now, Abby?” Nadia asked, she was the healer that Abby met the previous night before she fell asleep, because she was very tired, she didn’t pay close attention to her surroundings and only realized she was in the king’s bedroom.

“1-1 am fine.” Abby said, she stared at the beautiful healer sheepishly. “Can I go back to my home?”

Nadia smiled helplessly. “About that, I can’t decide, because we need the king’s permission if you want to leave this room.” Even Nadia was having a hard tto ccloser to this room, somehow, the king was very angry and becoverly protective. He didn’t allow anyone to cnear this

arca

Probably, this sounded ridiculous, but if you saw the nature of the shifters, especially someone with the highest status in this continent, you would understand how important their mate was and how overprotective they were to their people.

“Oh…” Abby lowered her head again.

Someone had brought a tray full of food, she had never seen so many food for her in the past ten years. She had seen how Hanna would get all the best food and as many as she wanted, but what was for her was only scraps.

Abby would already be grateful if she was being fed and her father didn’t forget to leave something for her to cal.

“You will be fine after srest and then cat properly. I don’t think there is something that need to be worried about.” Nadia smiled, she glanced at Abby’s neck, the area where her scars were. She wanted to say something, but she held back her tongue, thinking this was not the right timing to bring up the problem. “I will take my leave.”

“Ah.” Abby stood up as well, she stretched out her hand to hold Nadia back out of instinct, but she retracted her hand again. People always hated it when she touched them, thus she shouldn’t do

that.

“Yes?” Nadia smile sweetly when she saw how Abby looked uncomfortable. “Is there something you need?”

Abby shook her head, she looked hesitant when she wanted to speak, but then she was afraid, she would waste her tif she was like this for long time. “That… the thing is… the king said that I am his mate… I am sorry, but… I am confused.”

Nadia sighed deeply. So, the king was really adamant to take her to the palace apparently, he even had told her about it, at this point, there was no going back.

“I don’t think I have the capacity to answer your question, from what I heard, the king will meet you later after he finished his business with alpha James. I believe, he will explain everything to you.” Nadia patted her shoulder. “I will leave now, okay. You need to rest.”

Abby didn’t want to rest, she wanted an answer, but she couldn’t be greedy.

In the end, she was left alone in this flourish room that she had never been inside. This room was

the main guest room, only an important people was allowed to be here. So important, she was forbidden to step in.

But right now, she was here, doing nothing, thinking about what would happen with her later, until someone opened the door.

“The king just left.” Alpha James kneaded his temple, he seemed to be in foul mood and the arrival of his beta didn’t make him feel better. “If you askedwhat the punishment your family will get, I don’t know. The king only said, you will get the punishment you deserved after he asked more about what you have done to his mate.”

Ryan balled his fists, he gritted his teeth. This was not the outcthat he expected. He couldn’t believe such miracle could happen. His second daughter, the monster, was actually the king’s mate, not Hanna or any other normal girls.

But, what more surprising for him was the fact that the king actually accepted her.

“Are you sure there is nothing you can do about this, alpha?” Ryan sat down across from alpha James and his alpha gave him a nasty look.

“How could you treat your daughter like that? All the people here know what happened ten years ago and it’s obviously not her fault.”

Ten years ago, there was fire that burned down the beta’s house, but not only that, it killed his mate too, while his second daughter sustained that ugly scar on her left body.

That was the reason why she was called as monster.

“What we should do now?”

“You should pray that your daughter will not let the king to know what you have done to her all this time. Probably, your crwill be pardoned.”

The alpha acted like there was nothing wrong with the whole situation, as if he was not involved in this matter, Technically, he didn’t abuse Abby, yes, but he didn’t do anything either as the leader of the pack. He turned blind eyes with the way Abby was treated.

However, Ryan couldn’t complain about that.

“I think it will be better if you saw your daughter first before the alpha have a conversation with her.”

“I am not allowed to meet with her.” Ryan had tried, but the royal guards turned him away. Without the permission from the king, he was not allowed to cnear the room.

Alpha James sighed deeply, he shook his head regretfully. “There is nothing I can do.”

There was silence between them until Ryan asked the alpha again. “You toldthe king was just here a moment ago, what he wanted?”

“He wanted to take Abby to the capital city right away, therefore, the meeting about the pack needs

to be done this evening, so tomorrow, they can leave.”

“That fast?! They will leave tomorrow?!” Ryan didn’t believe what he heard.
