Chapter 66
Right when they thought the situation could be brought under control, they encountered another problem.
Abby was just about to go to Micah’s black beast to check on him when she saw this masked man standing on a building not too far from them.
Only he disappeared in the next moment, where the flames licking his clothes and body lit
o his entire frame and the next second, they couldn’t see anyone
in his spot.
However, the King couldn’t leave it at that.
He quickly ran to his mate, still in his beast form. And after giving her a quick once over, he pushed her back a little with his head as he turned around to go to the very spot where the masked man disappeared.
‘Stay right here.’ He nodded at Abby once before he sprinted up the building, but couldn’t find anyone there.
They did see him disappearing, basically being engulfed by the fire, but Micah strongly believed he wouldn’t leave so easily like that.
He was doing all of this for a purpose. And the King could also tell it had something to do with himself.
So with his prize right before his eyes, it was impossible for him to give up so readily.
He looked over the nearby buildings as well before looking down from top of the building, where Abby could be seen worrying as she stood there wringing her hands a little.
The girl was clearly distressed as she gave up waiting and immediately ran toward this building.
Seeing this, Micah swiftly shifted into his human form.
“DON’T!” He shouted, but it was already too late as the girl disappeared under the porch in the next second.
(+5)
It was just a two storied building, so even before Micah could run across the roof and down the stairs to bring the girl back down, not wanting to put her in any unknown danger, Abby was already climbing the stairs between the second storey and the roof.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay where you are?!” The King couldn’t help but reprimand Abby as soon as she stopped in front of him.
But the girl wasn’t having it. She just hugged him without saying anything and her mate couldn’t even stay angry at her.
It had been days since he last saw her and having her in his arms again was surreal.
Only he couldn’t enjoy the moment as the girl immediately stepped back from his embrace even before he could wrap his arms around her frame.
“Something is happening,” Abby said as she looked around her frantically.
Below the building, more and more rogues were still joining the fight, but it wasn’t as overwhelming as when the King had to fight them with just Dax and ten or so warriors on his side.
So Micah couldn’t understand her words at all, however, before he could grab her and ask her what she meant by that, or why she felt that, he could see the answer with his own eyes.
Suddenly, there was this huge wall of fire that surrounded this building and the King’s mate couldn’t help but gasp as the sovereign tried to reach for her and pull her closer to himself.
They could see nothing past this wall of fire, but still could hear Dax and the others.
They were trying to get to them while asking if their king and future queen were safe.
“We are fine,” Micah shouted back as he looked around the fire soaring high in the sky. The words ‘for now‘ were at the tip of his tongue.
Only the thought of not wanting to scare his mate right now stopped him from thinking in that direction.
On the other hand, Dax immediately approached Mirella and asked her to do something about the fire.
After all only this witch was capable of walking through the fire earlier, other than Abby.
“I plan to do so,” Mirella threw back at the worrying royal gamma and Alpha Samuel.
Mirella tried to take down the wall of fire with her magic, but it didn’t seem like anything she had ever encountered as it wouldn’t budge no matter how strong of a spell she used on Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
1. it.
She even created fireballs from thin air and then threw them at this wall, and to her surprise, every time she did that, that wall only seemed to get stronger as if it was absorbing the power from every spell that she used.
The witch couldn’t help but gasp at this realization.
Just what kind of spell was this…
Whoever created this wall of fire was too strong, she wasn’t a match at all.
Even so she didn’t lose hope as she tried even harder to break the wall.
Seeing this, Dax, Alpha Samuel and the others started to feel restless.
They couldn’t see what was happening to Micah or Abby, even though they were literally a few tens of feet apart.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Abby also tried to use whatever means she could recall to breach this wall for them to go out of it, but to no avail.
She just learned she had this kind of ability and still had a long way to go and understand how it actually worked.
Right when she was in a dilemma as to how to save herself and her mate from this predicament, the masked man reappeared before them.
“Little one!” the King almost shouted as he ran toward her.
Micah quickly pulled her into his arms, wanting to protect her as he faced the masked man, who was now staring at them with this strange look in his eyes.
On the other hand, Abby couldn’t help but feel she saw this man before.
He seemed so familiar as if she saw him somewhere really important.
She raked her brains, trying to refresh her newly unlocked memories as much as she could.
And how shocked she was when she realized where she saw him…
After all, it was on the day her mother died!
