His Sweet Little Mate

An earth shattering roar reverberated along the streets of this capital city, making everyone around feel their hearts tremble, as Micah ran through the streets in his beast form with his warriors in tow to no avail.

Even though he had scoured through the entire city two times by afternoon, which was no more than a few pitiful hours, he still couldn’t find a single trace of her.

It was as if she vanished into thin air, and the man took it hard. He couldn’t think straight anymore..

Meanwhile, the people who saw this let their imaginations run wild as the king looked like he had gone insane,‘ and Micah wasn’t too far from it.

All kinds of thoughts plagued his mind, especially the ones indicating something really bad might have happened to Abby, the moment he stopped to take a breather.

[Alan, did you find anything?] He mindlinked his royal beta, who was on the other side of this capital. [Did the Hunters find anything?]

The Hunters were the hounds, especially gifted in tracing people, through scent or other belonging of the target, and Micah didn’t think twice when he ordered everyone available to join this huge search party.

eace.

But no matter what he tried, the only outcome was Abby had disappeared without a trace. And the same was reported by Alan again, making the King explode in rage. [No, my king.]

Micah felt like going crazy with every second that passed, as the question of what his mate might be going through right now left his beast restless and feral.

Just where the hell did they take you? He wouldn’t be able to live with himself if something happened to her

again.

[Keep searching!]

Even through the mindlink, both Alan and Dex could hear how the king was on the verge of losing it. They wanted to ask him to stop, since he had been running non stop since morning, but they could only refrain themselves when they knew it would only be wasted effort.

Micah wasn’t in a mood to listen to anyone right now, even the former king couldn’t persuade him, even thoug

Emergency

his approach to the matter was really finger pointing.

But then, the king didn’t hesitate to lock his own father up, even though he put it nicely for others‘ ears saying the man just needed rest, but being told to be old was an insult in itself for Arthur, because it implied that he was no different from his mate, the former queen, who was recuperating.

They couldn’t help but worry over what else he might do, or become, if he couldn’t find Abby soon.

Things didn’t look promising with this sudden turn of events…

God help them!

Abby tried to run after the man, but Leon seemed to have anticipated this involuntary reaction from her, because he didn’t hedge for even a second before he locked the door behind him securely again once he stepped out of

this small room.

“Damned Bastard!” Abby shouted at the door, but there was no response whatsoever from him.

This room has an opened window, there was no way it was soundproofed, but she couldn’t hear a single sound

from outside whatsoever.

This was totally weird, because Abby didn’t understand how Leon pulled it off.

But then, she had screamed for someone to help her for a good fifteen minutes before Leon came to grace her with his presence, and no one seemed to have heard her at all then either.

The girl could only give up on the thought of screaming at the top of her lungs, because it was of no use, and would only exhaust the little energy she had now.

She tried to think of escaping his clutches, but it wasn’t that easy. “Once he hands me over to the rogues, I’ll be outnumbered and done for…”

On the other hand, her body protested because she didn’t eat anything other than those few pieces of candied fruit more than twenty four hours ago.

“This is absurd!” Abby officially regretted all her decisions from last night, when she felt like she would just mak it easy for those rogues to carry her away when she fainted from lack of energy.

Aside from water, which didn’t seem safe at all to drink, Leon didn’t bother to give her any food to keep her alive. Maybe he thought she did not need to eat since she was going to die anyway.

“He really was determined to end my life, wasn’t he?!”

Abby felt her eyes spinning from thinking about anything and everything, just to stay awake when she finally heard the lock being turned again.

And came Leon with four men in his tow when the sky turned really dark, making Abby feel the adrenaline rush into her veins just at the sight of his callous and cold face.

However, it wasn’t the adrenaline that woke her up completely, but the recognition that dawned on her when

this distinctive scent hit her nostrils.

“You brought rogues here!” Abby exclaimed, unable to believe that Leon dared to let them run amok in the

palace.

“Why are you so shocked? I already told you that you are going to spend your last moments with them,” the former royal beta snickered, making the girl scrunch her nose in disgust.

Leon didn’t even try to act polite, as he talked so disrespectfully toward her.

“Take good care of the queen, boys.” He nodded at the rogues, prompting them to take her away. “Show her a good time.”

The implication of his words was so demeaning, Abby felt her blood boil with rage.

She glared at them hatefully when Leon stepped aside to let the rogues enter, where they tried to jump onto her

the next second.

“Touch me, and you will die!” She promised, looking exceptionally calm in the next second.

Abby clenched and unclenched her hands repeatedly, as if she was holding back from doing what she actually

wanted to.

The screams and pleading Leon expected to hear from her were nowhere to be seen, after all, he witnessed firsthand how weak this girl was.

For a second, they were all confused why she was acting totally out of the books, but then they brushed it off as

her throwing empty threats.

“She is just a paper lion,” Leon mocked her from behind them, believing with all his heart Abby was just a good for nothing half witch. “Stop dilly dallying and knock her out at once.”

“Back off, or I’ll make you regret it!” Abby meant every word she said, but her opponents couldn’t get the memo at all.

If anything, the former royal beta looked proud of his own suggestion, maybe because he couldn’t help but recall how he managed to abduct her early this morning. After all, he didn’t even infuse much strength into the blow when he was dragging her away, and she fell unconscious just like that. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was too weak to back her own threats up, which was beyond laughable in his eyes. But he didn’t realize he had completely underestimated her, and the next second, he saw one of the rogues clutching his hand to his chest groaning like a kicked puppy.

He couldn’t process what just happened, but there was this burning smell of skin in the room.

He couldn’t help but look at Abby and the wailing rogue in turns, while the other rogues weren’t any different.

But in the next second, they all saw how Abby created fire out of thin air, which danced as twin flames on both her upturned palms.

Yes, Abby burned the rogue’s hand when he tried to grab her arm, after all she had promised to give them hell if they dared to mess with her.

“See, I can make good of my promises just fine, an admirable quality for a queen,” Abby jibed, her eyes no longer shaking with fear of uncertainty.

If anything, the girl oozed confidence and self assurance when she made another rogue fall to his knees just with a flick of her finger.

“I learned something really interesting from my last encounter with your friend,” Abby smiled at Leon, as the second rogue started writhing in pain even though they couldn’t see any fire on him. “Oh, I’m just

burning him from within.”

Yes, she figured out how to alight one from within, even though it wasn’t as detrimental as the spell Calpin cast on her or Micah.

Calpin seemed to have used forbidden dark spells to torture them that day, but Abby just tried to experiment and see if she could make her fire flow through his veins.

Even though it was just a thought and wasn’t really deadly, since she couldn’t really set his body on fire and only able to heat up his organs a little, it was enough to bring the rogue to his knees and instill fear in the rest.

And when Leon finally connected the dots, his eyes widened in horror. She was supposed to be a half witch with

pitiful magic powers, how could she control her fire so well?

He saw this disdainful smirk on the corner of her lips, as if she was saying; ‘you won’t know how to stop until

someone makes you.”

This side of her was something Leon didn’t expect at all, and it was really terrifying. Without him knowing, he started backing away from the room, but it was already too late.

After much persuasion from Alan and Dex, who collectively promise to figure out a way to find Abby, Micah dragged his feet back to the palace, only to find one of the towers inside the fortress engulfed in flames.
