His Sweet Little Mate

Chapter 27

Ruby pulled Abby to the main gates of the palace, where Abby could see two carriages waiting for them.

One was luxurious while the other was ordinary.

“You guys are finally here.” A female voice cfrom their right as soon as they stepped out of the palace gates.

Abby turned around and saw a group of three women. The three were donned in long party dresses, clearly daughters of influential families of this capital city. Apparently, these were the friends Ruby wanted to introduce to her.

“What took you so long?” Another girl asked, clearly sounding impatient.

“Oh, stop sulking. We are here now, aren’t we?” Ruby gave her a look and the woman immediately shut up.

Ruby then turned to face Abby and introduced her. “Here, these are my good friends. Leila, Gissele and Tia. And this is Abby, our king’s mate.”

Tia, who was just about to ask her where the infamous girl was, immediately bit her tongue. Even Leila and Gissele looked like they couldn’t believe their ears.

They all exchanged a look, while Abby felt even more uncomfortable.

The three women genuinely didn’t pay attention to her until then. To be honest, they were all expecting someone completely different. Both in temperament and aura.

This Abby girl didn’t look the part at all.

“She…” Leila, who talked first earlier, was cut off when Ruby interrupted her.

“Since we are all here, let’s not waste tanymore. We have to reach the restaurant in tfor our appointment. I reserved a private room for us.” Ruby pinned each of them with a look and all their questions were pushed to the backs of their minds immediately. The three silently got into the carriage.

“Con, Abby,” Ruby nudged her arm when the girl wouldn’t budge from her place, while staring at Reyna.

“She will follow us on the other one,” Ruby said as she pulled her into the carriage.

Abby could only get into the carriage. She sat by the window, beside Ruby, while the other three settled on the other side.

“So, Abby? Which pack did you hail from?” Leila asked Abby who was staring out of the window.

“I’m from the Silver Moon/pack,” Abby answered her.

“Your father is?” Gissele, who was busy talking with Tia, turned to look at Abby, prompting everyone else to look at her.

“He is the Beta of the pack.” Abby’s answer was once again short.

“You dress so simply for a daughter of the Beta of a pack.” Leila said, her eyes quickly scanning Abby’s attire.

“Oh! She must be so down to earth.” Tia observed, referring to her choice of clothes and the way she didn’t use a single piece of jewellery on her.

Both their gazes and words were polite, so even though Abby felt something was amiss, she couldn’t point out what was wrong.

So Abby only smiled, striking it off as girl-talk.

For a trip to the town, Abby was actually considered underdressed. But she couldn’t be blamed for this as she didn’t plan to follow Ruby and her high maintenance friends to the town today at all.

She just cout to the garden after having her breakfast for a walk and fell into Ruby’s hands.

“Tellabout your pack,” Tia asked her when she didn’t comment on her own dressing style.

But Abby didn’t feel like entertaining them anymore as she just nodded or shook her head whenever they asked something after saying she had an older sister.

These three girls were so gossipy they talked about all kinds of things. Occasionally, they would even praise Ruby saying she cfrom the former royal beta’s family and such.

“Ruby, no one can match your elegance in this capital city,” Gissele said as they gushed over their friend.

“No, there is actually one who can rival it,” Leila said with a knowing smile. She sounded so mysterious until all of them couldn’t help but give her their full attention. Only Tia seemed to understand her line of thought as she smiled at her friend.

“Who?” Gissele asked, feeling curious when both Leila and Tia shared a smile.

Meanwhile, Abby had long tuned out all their gossiping as she resumed watching out of the window. She couldn’t follow half of the things they were talking about as they talked about various things that happened in this capital city.

She couldn’t contribute to a conversation she could not understand, so she chose to enjoy the view of the town. Only Tia’s answer grabbed her attention again as the conversation from there turned really awkward for her to eavesdrop on.

“Of course, it’s King Micah,” Tia supplied from the side.

“Right?” Leila said while Ruby brushed them off simply,

“Don’t comparewith him. His charms are incomparable,” Ruby said, smiling a little. She sounded as if she couldn’t bother about such silly comparisons when she wouldn’t stop smiling.

Abby looked at Ruby and saw a hint of red on her cheeks. Her words and her reaction didn’t match at all.

Seeing this, Abby felt her discomfort from earlier resurface with double force.

“Speaking of charms, I saw him earlier, apparently going to the morning court. He looked so fine,” Gissele gushed, not even bothering to control the hearts in her eyes.

“He is of noble birth and it is visible in everything he does,” said Tia from the side.

Abby couldn’t help but frown as they went on and on about how the King could make a perfect. mate. And how he was an ideal mate for almost every girl in this capital.

They went as far as pointing out how mateless women always tried to catch his eye whenever he went somewhe

On the other side, with every word that left their l*ps, Abby only felt much smaller and smaller as she felt extremely uncomfortable. However, she didn’t feel comfortable expressing her displeasure either.

Meanwhile, apart from her earlier comment, Ruby made no attempts whatsoever to stop them again.

As such, Abby could only swallow her displeasure until the carriage reached their destination, which was apparently a fancy restaurant.
