His Sweet Little Mate

"My Queen!"

Abby looked at the man, who bowed until his front aligned with the floor beneath them in a perfect parallel line, with this slight frown on her face.

"You can stop with your acting, it'll help save my time." She couldn't care less about the way the man stiffened at her words, still with his head lowered. "If you like that position very much, you can continue admiring the floor beneath your feet."

With that, she proceeded to stand up from her chair, as if wanting to leave her makeshift study in the next second. It was almost dinner time and she also needed to take her medicine later.

"NO!" The man shouted, and when he remembered he just lost his control in front of the queen, he immediately bowed again. "Please forgive my clumsiness, and give me a moment to talk to you."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He didn't receive any response this time, though, other than this sound of Abby's foot tapping away impatiently. She was clearly unhappy to have this encounter with him. But what could he do, if she left now, he didn't know when he would get a chance to clear this tense air between her and his whole pack.

All Alpha James could do was, forget his ego and focus on the matter at hand. "My Queen, the King told me to follow him to the battle with the rogues, along with Alpha Samuel. Since we are leaving tomorrow, I thought of talking to you about something."

Abby wasn't ignorant of this new change in the plan, Micah told her he would take both the alphas with him to the battle, but she didn't know how that arrangement made him want to talk to her again.

She was very happy by treating him as air until now, since Micah didn't allow anyone he deemed unworthy of her emotions to appear in front of her. However, knowing she would refuse a private meeting with him, Alpha James suddenly requested an audience with her in a high profile manner, and she had to face him again in weeks, just for the sake of appearances.

But by allowing him to bow to her twice, she had already done her part, and if she walked away right now, there was nothing this annoying alpha could do, but she still found herself talking to the alpha.

"I don't have all day, Alpha. Just say what you want to say and be done with it."

The last time he talked to her, she only felt utter disgust and unadulterated anger seeing his audacity to ask for her forgiveness. And going with the way he shuffled uncomfortably on his feet, Abby could tell he was here to sing the same tune again.

And as if just to prove her right, the next words that left his lips comprised another apology. "I hope you will find it in your highness' self to forgive me and this pack's members..."

He was cut off by a scornful laugh from the girl standing tall in front of him. It didn't match with the wretched image that got imprinted in his mind after watching her being miserable for years in this pack at all.

The girl before him was nothing similar to the naive and timid child that was abandoned by her own pack which feared its beta, who did everything in and out of his morale to make her suffer through years.

Her eyes that used to shake with fear were now slowly absorbing the coldness the world threw at her and Alpha James had to accept the fact that his apology came a little too late.

"Why are you asking to be forgiven again?" Abby wiped the corners of her eyes brimming with water from laughing too much. "After all, there are so many offenses if you include your pack as well."

Alpha James felt his cheek burn with the invisible slap he received, because she was right. His pack wasn't small to begin with. His request was clearly brazen, but he couldn't stop now.

"My Queen, you are magnanimous and benevolent, so please let us off this one time and we will be forever grateful to you."

However, his sweet words only made the girl before him look even colder, and the man started second guessing his idea to talk to her. He got flustered when she didn't say anything and just looked at him with this mocking smile on her face.

"I know it was an unforgivable sin to isolate you when you are just a child, no child should be put through what you have gone through. This pack and I are beneath you, so please grace us with this one chance. Everyone is seriously repenting for turning their back to you while you suffered under your father."

Isolated me when I was just a child? James really had a way with words. But then...

"You know it's an unforgivable sin, yet you are asking me to overlook it?" Abby would have clawed his face if she was a shifter. The alpha was fortunate that she wasn't one, but the thought of burning his face also crossed her mind.

Only the thought he was going to follow Micah to fight those rogues stopped her from doing something impulsive.

James could also tell that she was getting annoyed by his presence, but the image of Ryan's face that got burned by his own daughter wouldn't go away from his mind no matter what. If one day she decided she used up her kindness and attacked this pack, the first person she was going to settle scores with would be him and he was terrified of what kind of death that would await him if he fell into her hands.

So after thinking through, he wanted to use numbers to pressure her into forgiving him. The last time he asked for her forgiveness, she rejected him outrightly.

He didn't know why she didn't blame him and asked the king to execute him right away, when she didn't even hesitate to punish her own father. But after seeing Ryan's miserable state and also hearing that Hanna was now confined in the Red River pack under Abby's orders, he started to feel he was next.

He didn't know Abby harming Ryan was unintentional, or Hanna was still in Samuel's pack only to recover, so here he was, trying to get himself out of an imaginary soup.

"My Queen, I really regret turning a blind eye to your suffering all those years, so I beg you to please pardon me from this misery and forgive me." Alpha James had to go all in because of the goal in his mind. Abby should be able to see his

sincerity, even though it was actually fear for his own life.

However, All Abby saw was his shamelessness and brazenness. Did he even realize he was just repeating what she said to him during the first time he came seeking her forgiveness?

On that day in the back garden of this pack house, she asked him how he could turn a blind eye to such injustice and now he was using the same words to plead forgiveness from her. It was as if he couldn't really tell where he went wrong.

"Enough!" Abby didn't shout, but her voice was cold enough to stop the alpha from sputtering more insincere words. "Forgive you, my foot! You don't even know what you did wrong and came to apologize, just like that?"

He could have stopped her suffering just by a single word, but he didn't. And he only realized his mistake when she pointed it out. But still demanding her to forgive him?

"Even if a day comes in the future

where I forgive any of you, I won't forget what you all did to me, a helpless child." Abby was done with

do yourself a favor and stop reminding me things I don't want to think about by appearing in front of me."

Alpha James never saw her like this, so when she walked past him after saying her piece, he was frozen in place, still stunned. Her words clearly depicted how much she despised him and this pack.

On the other hand, Abby's whole mood ruined after that conversation and she felt like setting fire to everything in her path to push back the painful memories from resurfacing.

"How could they understand the pain of suffering alone with a massive crowd surrounding you? With a few sweet words and pretentious gestures, he wants me to forgive them all and forget everything? In his dreams!"

"What happened, little one?" Micah was waiting for her at the small table in their guest bedroom to have dinner with her. He especially made time, so he could eat together with her tonight. But he didn't expect to see her return on the verge of crying like this.

"It's nothing." Abby didn't even want to think about it, so she didn't talk about it. “Let's have dinner."

Micah knew when to push and when to stop, so he let her have a little room for the moment. At least, Abby didn't let her mood ruin her appetite as she ate normally and took her medicine.

But after she washed her face to retire to bed, where Micah was waiting to put her to sleep, sadness rushed over her frame and she started being clingy with her mate.

Probably because of the pregnancy or the fact that they were going to be apart for a few days since Micah would leave to fight those rogues, Abby wanted Micah to spend every second with her until he left the next day.

"Can you not leave after I fall asleep?" Abby wriggled in his arms a little to find a comfortable position and pressed her cheek against his steady heartbeat. This sound always managed to calm her down. "Let's just sleep like this."

"Did something happen, little one?" Micah asked her. He thought long and hard, but couldn't tell what could have triggered her current state of mind.

Abby knew she couldn't escape his observing eyes, but she didn't even want to think about it, so how would she be able to repeat what happened before her mate?

"You don't want to talk about it?" Micah asked her and her silence was loud enough. But he could tell she wasn't shutting him out. "Or you don't want to think about it now?"

This time, the girl hugged him tighter and the king had his answer. But her being sad like this didn't sit well with him.

It was clear she wanted her mind occupied with something else other than the things that were causing her to be this emotional, so Micah deliberated for a moment and then flipped them over, until he was hovering above her.

"What are you doi..." Her question was swallowed by his lips as he pressed his lower body into her abdomen, while holding her hands high above her

head.

Abby didn't know how long he kissed her, but by the time he let up, she was a panting mess as arousal coursed through her body, and then she heard his voice.

"Making you think about something else," Micah whispered in her ear and then nibbled on it before slowly sliding down her jaw and then his mark on her as he kissed her there, while entering her slowly and gently.

The girl didn't even know when her mate undressed her when he started to thrust into her, so it was safe to say he kept his word. In fact, this distraction was so good, the girl's mind turned completely blank as she succumbed to the pleasure he filled her body with.

When the tension finally left her body and he cleaned them both, Micah hugged her to sleep just like she had requested.

The next morning, Abby sent off Micah first, where she could see him leave before the first rays of sun hit the horizon with his entourage.

"Make preparations for our departure tomorrow." She threw over her shoulder as she turned around to go to her study. *****Read my new story: Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King******
