His Sweet Little Mate

Abby gave Alyssa and Reyna’s advice a really long thought.

And after thinking all night, the girl decided it would only be detrimental to herself if new rumors started to circulate just days before the ceremony.

The elders were already unhappy with her. They wouldn’t miss a chance to point their fingers at her yet again if she slipped up.

Not to mention, she couldn’t afford to anger the people as well.

So Abby chose not to meet with Ezgar.

However, she knew it would be beyond rude to let him wait for her, because she knew he would do just that.

“Can you let Ezgar know that I’m busy today and can’t make it to the meet up She asked Alyssa, who immediately agreed.

Abby just hoped Ezgar wouldn’t feel upset with her for chickening out.

She didn’t forget to teach her maid the excuse for her absence, though.

later?”

“Tell him I’m caught up with the preparations and since the ceremony was only days

away,

I couldn’t make it,” Abby said after thinking hard.

Even though it sounded so lame, she couldn’t come up with a better excuse than this.

However, she didn’t forget to remind Alyssa to convey her sincere apologies as he had to make a wasted trip. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Alyssa returned even before half an hour could pass and Abby couldn’t help but ask how he received the news.

“Mr. Ezgar didn’t look mad,” Alyssa told Abby. “He understood that you are busy with all the preparation.”

Abby felt a little relieved hearing Alysaa’s words.

She didn’t think Ezgar wouldn’t be able to realize what was going on.

It was so obvious when she sent a maid to deliver the news.

However, instead of getting upset over being turned down in this way, he chose to

understand where she was coming from.

Abby’s impression of him soared even more now. He was really a gentleman. Nothing like his manipulative sister, just like Micah said.

“You can leave now, I don’t have any plans to leave the room today,” Abby said, pointing at the papers in her hands.

After sending her away, Abby sat at the table near the window and started to come up with ideas for the speech herself.

The ceremony was only three days away and she still didn’t prepare her speech.

But she had to rectify it by h o o k or crook.

However, nothing seemed suitable yet again and Abby felt like crying.

This was going nowhere.

It was clear the speech was an important segment in their ceremony.

Moreover, the entire capital would be there to bear witness for the ceremony, not to mention the guests that would arrive from all the nine packs, including her own pack.

What could possibly be deemed suitable for her to talk about in the ceremony?

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t settle on an idea or thought and this made her head hurt again.

What should she do to overcome this hurdle?

After trying for the entire morning, Abby gave up and decided to wait until Micah to come back.

She reckoned it was better to ask for her mate’s help on this, rather than relying on

herself or the others.

So she focused on other things like her body posture, walking style for the rest of the day.

She practiced until she felt she did just how Sherianne taught her.

Even though it wasn’t really easy, she could feel she was getting the hang of it once she put all of her focus on it.,

Later that evening, she took her dinner early and then had the kitchen prepare a light meal for the King.

Only the man didn’t come until it was too late.

Even so she waited for him to come without going to bed.

Even if she went to bed, she would just be tossing and turning on it anyway until Micah

came.

So she thought it would be better if she just waited for him on the sofa.

Her plan was simple. She would ask him directly without overthinking and once he explained his idea, she would immediately stop bothering him.

However, she didn’t expect him to return so well into the night or look so tired, she could feel his exhaustion hit her.

“Micah…” Abby felt her throat clogging in seeing him like that.

On the other hand, Micah couldn’t really spare any time on things like even dinner when the reports he kept receiving from Alpha Samuel ended up taking most of his free time after his day-long meetings.

He was keeping in touch with Alpha Samuel just like they had agreed on before he left for the Capital with Abby almost a fortnight back.

He needed to be meticulous about every detail and if there was a new update on the rogues’ situation, he couldn’t miss it.

Because it would only disrupt all his plans.

So coordinating with Alpha Samuel was on top among all the other things.

That was why he had been cutting back on his sleep time and the rest as well.

“I’m alright, little one,” Micah reassured Abby. “But why aren’t you asleep yet?”

He tousled her hair as he asked her.

“I want to make sure you have something before going to bed,” Abby changed the topic as she led him to the table where a plate of dinner was waiting for him.

But it turned cold long back.

“Let me reheat it for you! Abby told him. “It will be ready by the time you freshen up.”

“I’ll take a bath before leaving in the morning, little one,” Micah pulled her back. “I don’t mind eating cold food. Go to bed first.”

He sounded tired, so Abby didn’t argue and just looked at him as if saying for him to eat first.

Micah gave in and ate before he hugged her to sleep.

However, Abby couldn’t sleep even though she was in Micah’s warm embrace.

There were only two more days before the ceremony.

It seemed only a miracle could get her out of this mess now.
