“Can you find out where King Micah is?”
Abby got down from the bed while wiping her cheeks. Her voice came out a little too raspy, only then did she realize how parched her throat was.
Alyssa immediately thrusted a glass of water into her hands while Reyna looked at her with her. mouth agape.
They couldn’t believe their ears.
Both Alyssa and Reyna were still contemplating until a moment ago what kind of affect Arthur’s words would leave on Abby.
They knew the girl was unusually sensitive for a shifter and from the way she had cried her heart. out for an hour earlier after reaching the bedroom made them lose their hopes on any progress Abby made in her fight against her fear toward Micah. In Dax’s words.
Reyna kept asking Alyssa to let the King know while her fellow maid kept refusing to follow her idea as they didn’t know how Abby would react if Micah were to come find her about this.
That was why they couldn’t do anything about it for the last three hours while Abby stayed silent, just like she did until a week back after the incident that night.
So Alyssa and Reyna couldn’t believe what they heard when Abby asked for themselves to find out where the King was now.
In their shock, neither of them gave her an answer.
On the other hand, Abby felt her throat hurting a little when drinking the water but she couldn’t care less about it as she thought Alyssa and Reyna didn’t get her question because her voice didn’t come out right.
She quickly gulped down her drink and asked the maids the same question. “Can you find out where King Micah is?”
“Right away,” Alyssa replied to Abby, as she immediately rushed out to gather the information.
And fifteen minutes later, Alyssa and Reyna followed Abby, who looked deep in her thoughts, as they guided her to the main hall where the King was apparently having a meeting with Alan and the
others.
“Alan, what is the situation at the border?” Micah asked Alan, who just entered the main hall with. the royal gamma in his tow.
“My King, there had been two more attempts to breach the border this afternoon,” Alan reported, handing
Over a bunch of reports to the King so that he could take a look at them.
Two new places, right?” Micah asked his royal beta, as he received the reports.

“Yes, my king.” Dax beat Alan
to it, looking all serious as well. Gone was his playful behavior, as the
warrior in him made an appearance.
“As expected,” Micah exclaimed.
Even though the frequency of these random attacks increased lately, they remained honestly, random.
They were not attacking the same place twice. It would always be a new place. It was as if they were searching for something.
On the other hand, defending against these proved to be challenging when the capital city was obviously huge and it had only three official entry points, where the security would be high profile.
And due its vast span, it was impossible to fortify an entire city, let alone a city as big as their capital. The so–called borders were just geographical limits around a huge area.
And so the possibility of breaches became easy as it was impossible to post that many guards just to guard around the border.
“But there were no casualties among the common people?” Micah asked again as he fl*pped through the first report. He couldn’t understand why the attacks were happening. There was no
commodity loss, or property damage or any other kind of damage.
At this point, it seemed like they were trying to enter the capital city just to tour around a little.
“No, my king,” Alan said as he too couldn’t understand why the rogues weren’t going berserk.
They weren’t supposed to be able to sport such control at all. This alone was proof enough that these attacks were not something ordinary at all.
Micah fell deep in thought while Alan and Dax waited for his input on what they needed to do next.
“Let’s…” Micah started but stopped right after uttering his first word when an unexpected scent breached his thought process as he stood up immediately.
He rushed to the huge doors of this main hall, completely forgetting about his next in commands. and the problems of rogues, with urgency evident in his steps.
Micah almost knocked down the door in his haste to reach the other side and the sight of the other person waiting right outside the door left him breathless.
In front of him was Abby, sporting an identical expression to the frightened look she gave him the last few times he tried to approach her.
And then he noticed her complexion.
Redness spread all over her face. Her eyes, her nose and even her cheeks. Micah felt his heart thudding painfully at the sight.
She had been crying…
Why?

Chapter 44
Micah almost lost his temper again seeing her like this. The thought of herself getting hurt sent violence pulsing through his frame.
However, the amount of regret that wrecked his heart for the past three weeks for scaring her that night helped him clear the angry haze and see that she was scared by him again.
Damn!
He needed to cool down first.
Meanwhile, Abby, who just reached the main hall, didn’t expect Micah to suddenly stumble into. her vision at all.
She was busy with her thoughts, that was why she didn’t talk a syllable to either Alyssa or Reyna after asking for themselves to take herself to Micah.
There were so many things in her mind right now, completely jumbled up, so she wanted to make use of her time on her way here to rearrange her thoughts.
The discussion she wanted to have with the King was very important.
But his sudden appearance sent all her thoughts scattering again as she stood frozen before the man with her eyes wide open, like a deer in front of its predator.
It had been three weeks since she saw him without fear clouding her senses and she couldn’t help but stare at him, which forced the King to stay silent as well.
And this was what greeted Alan and Dax, who were waiting for his input until a moment ago, were speechless with his sudden actions and followed him to the door.
but
Dax was about to shout in triumph and say that he succeeded in his mission when Alan noticed Abby’s eyes and shut down the royal gamma,
Alan signalled for Dax to look at Abby carefully before pulling him away from the King and his
mate.
On the other hand, Alyssa and Reyna, who saw the King’s next in commands leave immediately while silently prompting the other warriors to leave as well, followed suit and left Abby alone with Micah.
The warriors around the main hall didn’t understand why Alan was rushing them to leave, but they didn’t dare to disobey him.
So, despite their curiosity over this sudden turn of events, they still dragged their feet away from the King and his mate, but they wouldn’t stop to turn around and look at the King every other step.
And Abby, who was the actual focus of their gazes, felt uncomfortable and cowered a little at having so many scrutinising gazes directed at herself.
Seeing this, Micah dragged her to a small room inside the main hall, so she could feel a little secure, away from prying gazes.
Abby, who was suddenly pulled inside, almost resisted him immediately, but the next moment, her

b*dy relaxed a bit as she realized Micah was just trying to provide her a more private setting.
Once inside the room, Micah immediately released her hand before stepping a little away from her, even though it took every ounce of his energy to curb his need to keep touching her. Instead, he turned back to close the door behind them.
Micah didn’t fail to notice the way her b*dy protested a tiny bit earlier, so he immediately apologized for scaring her the moment he turned around to face her.
“I’m sorry, little one, I just wanted to make you feel less uncomfortable,” Micah said in a soft voice, not forgetting to gauge her reaction to his actions.
He remained close to the door, even though his b*dy involuntarily leaned toward Abby, being overwhelmed by the urge to touch her again.
However, he already used all his strength to release her hand earlier, so if he touched her again he wouldn’t be able to let her go for a long time.
So he could only suppress the urge. He couldn’t afford to scare Abby even more.
He needed his mate and being able to look at her in a close proximity was more than enough, for
TOW.
On the other hand, hearing his apology, Abby didn’t know what to say while tears pooled in her eyes again. She was sad and the King felt his heart bleeding.
Micah had to physically stop himself from not eating up the distance between them and pull her into his arms when she looked so dejected..
It was clear that Abby had come to find himself to talk about something. So he focused on that part. not wanting to pressure her more than she already looked before she could say what she wanted to.
And it helped him to stay rooted to his place as he waited for her to open her mouth.
Meanwhile, Abby had so much to say to him, but when she finally saw him, her grievances overwhelmed her so much she started crying again the moment she opened her mouth.
Just as Micah wanted to ask what was wrong and why she had been crying, he saw Abby crying without a sound again. The sight was heartbreaking-
Watching her tear up with a pitiful look on her face, Micah couldn’t refrain anymore as he reached for her and pulled her into his arms.
She was so small and soft in his arms, Micah felt his entire b*dy thrum in satisfaction just at the feel of her against his frame.
Only he knew how much he missed her. He tried to pat her head and calm her down.
But the girl was inconsolable as she cried even harder, and in no time, the front of his shirt was drenched in her tears.
“What happened, little one? Tell me and I’ll make it right,” Micah could only say this when he couldn’t help but feel helpless as to how to console her.

Only Abby wouldn’t show him any mercy as she kept crying pitifully in his arms even though he asked her the reason repeatedly.
Finally, Micah couldn’t think of anything else to make her talk and apologized for scaring her again.
“I’m sorry,
little one, I didn’t mean to scare you that night,” the King whispered softly into the ear of the girl trembling in his arms.
Abby immediately shook her head against his chest and this left Micah confusing.
Seeing her cry this hard without saying anything. Micah thought she was still uncomfortable about that incident at the palace gates..
So when she shook her head, Micah couldn’t help pulling a bit away from her as he held her face with one hand to look into her tear filled eyes while holding her waist with the other.
“It’s not about that?” Micah thought out loud, but Abby didn’t say anything and just leaned into his hand further, seeking his touch. But he couldn’t enjoy this change in her right now.
Even though there were still tears streaming down her face, he could no longer feel any fear toward himself in her system. However, there was a new fear in the depths of her eyes and her next words left him stunned for a moment.
“Please, don’t leave me,” Abby cried, pleading with him pitifully while her hands behind his back gripped the back of his shirt tighter.
