His Sweet Little Mate

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

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

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 of comfortable 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 to come, 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 the latter 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 suggestive comment.

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 elaborated 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 to laugh when the girl slipped out of the bathroom in a flash 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 I come 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 exclaimed 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 welcome 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 lullabies 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 lullabies.

Power.

He wanted to become 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 Mirella 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 Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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

When Abby gathered all the memories of her mother with Mirella’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 to come 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 was completely 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 place 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 a complete coincidence. They both happened to have similar 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 really late, 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.
