Chapter 17
Ryan thought he had the King all figured out, it was why he was bold enough to try and push his elder daughter onto Micah. Even Hanna thought the same as she believed the King would definitely choose herself over her monster sister. After all, who would want a freak like Abby?
However, all their fantasies came crashing down when the King didn’t even hesitate to order for themselves to be captured like some kind of rogue shifters in their very own home after Abby admitted that Hanna hurt her for real.
Even before they could get a chance to plead for some mercy, they found themselves kneeling in front of that freak. Abby. No less in front of their own house and more than half of the pack members. Beta Ryan felt utterly humiliated and enraged at Abby, but his fear for Micah overruled every other emotion as he didn’t even dare to fight back, while Hanna couldn’t even breathe properly with all the fear consuming her heart.
Meanwhile, everything after her confirmation seemed like a blur to Abby, as she was beyond shocked to see Micah react so coldly and heartlessly.
Abby couldn’t even bring herself to watch on as they begged to be spared endlessly.
“It was a one time thing… Hanna isn’t really in her right mind.” Ryan still didn’t give up as he continued to plead with Micah.
“My King, I’ll never do it again.” Hanna didn’t even dare to deny it anymore as she indirectly.
admitted to her mistake.
Hanna couldn’t care less about the people who were watching themselves being treated like war prisoners. She just wanted to escape the King’s wrath in any way possible. Ryan had the thought as he
lost all dignity since half of the pack already saw them like this.

Meanwhile, the pack members that gathered around couldn’t make heads and tails of this situation. What was with this situation? Why were Beta Ryan and Hanna being subdued? While Abby was standing with the King?
And when Micah tightened his arm around her hips and implied for Ryan and Hanna to apologize to herself, Abby felt the air almost get knocked out of her lungs.
“You should be asking for forgiveness from Abby instead.”
As soon as the King uttered those few words firmly, everyone gathered there sucked in a shocked gasp before falling utterly silent.
On the other hand, Abby, who was trying to make herself look as small as possible until then, nearly collapsed when she heard Micah. Even Alpha James who just rushed there upon the King’s order was stunned speechless.
“Apologize to that monster?” Hanna couldn’t control her mouth when she subconsciously blurted out this. Begging the King for mercy was one thing, but to lower her head in front of this freak was completely unacceptable.
Micah would have ripped her head off her shoulders, woman or not, hadn’t Abby been already.

Meanwhile, Abby didn’t know how to react when she had never seen her father get humiliated like this. A good father to her or not, Ryan had always been a proud shifter.
Moreover, they were her only family.
Micah could see that she was feeling bad for them. Sure enough, the next thing that came out of her lips was something that made the King almost growl out of frustration.
“They don’t have to, I’m fine. Really,” Abby didn’t feel fine with this situation at all. If anything, she felt uncomfortable. Especially with so many people staring at her so intensely. Out of curiosity or not, she simply couldn’t take it.
“Abby…” Micah started, wanting to make her understand that everything would be alright. Only Abby cut him off mid sentence.
“But…” Only Abby didn’t know how to make Micah understand that she couldn’t see them like this. She struggled to find it in herself to plead on their behalf when her decade long grievances wouldn’t stop resurfacing at the back of her mind, reminding her how badly they hurt her all these
years.
Micah understood Abby’s struggle and his heart melted even more for his broken mate. “They don’t deserve your kindness.” At last, Micah decided for her and chose to keep her out of this. If she couldn’t even bear to see them kneel for her, he couldn’t imagine how she would feel if he insisted on punishing them for her.
However, that didn’t mean he would spare them: Not a chance even in hell. He would make them regret it. Everything and every time they
ld hands on his sweet mate.
“Okay,” Micah said out of the blue. And this one word was so confusing, the people there didn’t know what to make out of it.
On the other hand, both Ryan and Hanna felt hopeful. This monster did something good for once. Hanna immediately thought she would be spared.
If only they knew what the King was planning, they wouldn’t have let their hopes up.
Both Ryan and Hanna almost asked the warriors restraining themselves to release them when they heard the King bellow at someone.
“Alpha James, your impudence knows no bounds!”
Everyone’s jaw dropped when they heard him shout at their alpha out of the blue.
And before anyone could collect their bearings, Alpha James found himself kneeling before Micah and Abby.
Earlier it was their pack’s beta and his daughter, now it was their alpha. The pack members were flabbergasted to witness this sudden turn of events.
Even Alpha James was clueless as to how he angered the King. His legs gave away when the King suppressed his beast with his superior alpha voice and here he was, kneeling not too far from his

own beta.
But he was wise enough to quickly realize his mistake when he thought back a little. He immediately apologized for forgetting the custom and not showing courtesy to the King earlier.
Only the King’s aim was completely different from just demanding respect from his subjects.
“I’m stripping Beta Ryan from his position,” Micah announced with authority. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
