His Sweet Little Mate

Chapter 37 The black beast, who was none other than the King, felt an immeasurable bloodlust that couldn’t be tamed by his human side anymore. How dare a mere guard try to hurt my mate? That was the only thought in its mind and nothing but a bloodbath could appease his rage. But when Micah finally got back to his senses after getting the reminder from his royal beta, his beast forgot all about running rampant and just wanted to bask in their mate’s warm embrace. Only Micah didn’t realize how impactful his actions were on Abby, who was now shaking like a leaf in his arms, until it was too late. And thanks to all the blood on her face, Micah couldn’t clearly see her expression which was mirroring one of pure horror now. Had he looked into her eyes, even for a moment, the King would have realized that there was something with his mate right now. “Letsee if you are hurt, hmm?” He asked the girl when she didn’t heed his earlier request of letting himself look at her. On the other hand, Abby couldn’t form any words to answer the King as her mind wouldn’t let her forget the gruesscene from earlier. This was the first tshe saw someone dying from their head being severed from their body. The image of Micah’s black beast with a severed head locked in his jaw was all she could see whenever she looked at Micah, as her brain went back to that very image every other second. “I…” Abby started but couldn’t even hear her own voice. Her throat was clogged from fear and Micah couldn’t realize what was going on in her mind as he battled his beast for control. His beast was restless, so was his human mind. Micah couldn’t conclude if he was too late and whether that dead guard had done anything more harmful to Abby before he could reach the palace gates.

“What is it?” Micah asked but still there was no response from Abby. Her heart trembled every tshe felt like the sound of the dead guard’s lifeless body falling to the ground reverberated in her ears. He fell just a couple of feet from where she was lying earlier. She tried to clear her mind of these thoughts, but to no avail. In the end, all she could do was try not to let the panic overwhelm her even more. Which proved to be a very difficult task as her emotions were all over the place now. “My King, letescort Lady Abby to your bedroom first,” Alan cforward, when he saw Abby struggling. Alan could see how shook the girl was. If Micah hadn’t been clouded by anger and fear, he wouldn’t 15:05 Fri, 8 Mar DG Chapter 37

have gone for the guard first. No, making sure if Abby was fine would have been his first thought. Just like how he would always deal with a situation, calm and collected. 66%* However, the King had been high strung with fury and rage all evening while searching for his lost mate that his outburst wouldn’t give way to let him see what was right or wrong anymore. His mate’s safety stole the spot of the top most priority in his heart, especially the part that was under the beast’s control, that all reasoning was thrown out of the window the moment he saw Abby was in danger. But now, after the haze of anger cleared, Micah could finally see how his actions had affected Abby. Why his mate couldn’t talk, or make a sound while her eyes were wide open, as if she forgot how to close them…. His mate was scared. Really scared. Of himself.

Not the person he just killed or not because she was in pain. This realization made him drop his hand holding hers. It didn’t let him object to Alan when he gently pulled Abby toward the palace. “Lady Abby, it’s okay. Just breathe a little,” Alan spoke to Abby in a gentle voice as he walked the girl across the front yard. He turned around to look at Micah and nod at him one last time, to which Micah could only nod back in response. However, before Alan could reach the main doors, he saw both Alyssa and Reyna crunning toward them. “Oh my goodness, Lady Abby…” Alyssa almost shrieked seeing the way Abby looked at the moment. “Heavens, how in the world…” Reyna joined her. Only a leveled look from the Royal Beta made them trail off as they immediately shut up. “Please, take care of Lady Abby,” Alan ordered the two girls who were shocked speechless at Abby’s. condition. Alan then told them that he would send the royal healer as soon as possible. “Nadia will be there shortly to take a look at her.” “Yes, Royal Beta Alan,” they both nodded as they hurriedly ushered Abby into the King’s tower, so she could get treated as soon as possible. Having said that, Alan nodded at the two of them before bidding Abby a good bye. As they turned to leave, Alyssa couldn’t help but grit her teeth as she caught a glimpse of Ruby with her friends trembling from head to toe as they slowly slipped out of the palace gates, seeing that no 15:05 Fri, 8 Mar DG · Chapter 37 one was paying attention to them. Abby was so rattled that her maids couldn’t help but feel scared for their master. From the front yard, where they met her, to the bedroom and then the bathroom, where they tried to shake Abby out of her state, every attempt had been proven fruitless. No matter how many times they asked Abby if she was hurt anywhere, the girl wouldn’t respond in any

manner until they had to take it upon themselves to check on her. Save for a few scraps on her palms and elbows, there weren’t any other injuries on her body. The only problem was, Abby had closed herself off. The girl didn’t even stop themselves from helping herself to remove her clothes and then into the bathtub where they cleaned her off all the blood. As soon as they cout of the bathroom, they saw the royal healer waiting in the bedroom “Lady Abby…” Nadia wanted to greet her, but her voice trailed off when she noticed the vacant gaze in the girl’s eyes. She looked at Alyssa and Reyna, who shook their heads. When she checked on Abby, she couldn’t find anything wrong with her physically, save for the few scraps on her palms and elbows. They were nothing major. But what disturbed Nadia was the way Abby sat motionless throughout the whole tshe applied smedicine to her wounds. “What happened?’ The question was on the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t know if it was the right. thing to ask and trigger Abby even more. Nadia wasn’t aware of what happened at the palace gates, save for the part she got lost in the town. In the end, she gave smedicine to calm her down and waited until Abby fell asleep. “She needs to rest as much as possible,” she instructed her maids and then left. However, even before a full hour could pass, they saw Abby trembling in her sleep. Mumbling with no sound, the girl shook her head continuously, She was having nightmares. Alyssa and Reyna tried to calm her down as much as possible, but to no avail. They immediately sent for Nadia who sent smore potent sleeping potions for Abby. It was Dax, the royal ga mma, who brought the medicine to her. 15:05 Fri, 8 Mar DG. Chapter 37 66% #

“Lady Abby, I’m Dax,” Dax introduced himself to Abby, with a bright smile on his face, but then he realized she wouldn’t respond to him right now. Reyna gave him a look, hinting at him that he shouldn’t try too hard. She could see what this goofy ga mma was planning but Abby was simply out of reach for them, m tally. Dax could only give up and leave. The scontinued in the following days, while Alyssa and Reyna took turns to watch over Abby. The girls would always cover herself with a blanket from head to toe and sleep away most of the day. On the third day, when she still couldn’t stomach anything, Reyna suggested changing her diet to liquid foods completely. Abby didn’t say a word since she was found back as if she turned mute. Alyssa couldn’t help but worry even more as Abby closed herself off completely where she wouldn’t respond no matter what. Reyna shared the semotion as she bit her lips to stop herself from crying “My King.” Alyssa almost stumbled on her feet when she saw Micah waiting in front of the bedroom. She was preoccupied with the thoughts of coming up with ways to cheer up Abby, so she didn’t notice the King until she almost bumped into him. “How is she?” Micah asked her and the maid saw how his hand balled into a fist by his side. Alyssa couldn’t help but feel bad for the King. It had been a week since Abby closed herself off from the world, Micah wasn’t an exception either. The girl had actually hidden herself in the blanket even more the first few times Micah tried to approach her. And her reaction broke the King’s heart a little every night until he stopped entering his former room entirely. Now, he would always wait in front of their bedroom, every night, until the sun rose in the east. “Still the same,” Alyssa divulged with a heavy heart. It had been a week, but her nightmares wouldn’t go away while she wouldn’t utter a single word. This was really worrying.
