Chapter 5
“She is under a spell, My King. I need to put her to sleep because she is too tense.” Nadia, the royal healer, checked on Abby. She looked so young to be a royal healer, but she was the best healer this
continent had.
She stretched out her hand to push away the few locks of hair covering Abby’s face and grimaced at the sight of the scar on her face.
“My King.” Nadia lifted her head to gauge the King’s reaction. “Are you sure she is your mar
The burn scar didn’t look good on Abby. It spanned from her neck to her shoulder and probably more if you opened her clothes. Her face was fine, but you could see a little scar on her left check.
Without the scar, she would be a beauty, but then… how could the King have someone like her as his queen? This was not the Queen the people expected or imagined.
“Without a doubt.” Micah’s eyes turned very dark when his gaze landed on the burn scars on her neck. He didn’t realize it before because the other side of her neck was fine.
“My King… you don’t need to announce this immediately. You need to think about it carefully.” Nadia didn’t mention what she actually meant, but Micah could understand what she was going to
say.
How could someone like her be the King’s mate?
Micah could reject her and go back to the original plan, Choose a mate since he couldn’t find his destined mate. No one needed to know about this and he would be saved from the humiliation of
having a mate like this.
Alan stared at Micah, he wanted to voice his opinion, but a warrior had knocked on the door and informed them the Alpha and the Beta were there to meet with the King.
“Micah, what are you going to do?” Alan stopped Micah from leaving the room. They really needed to talk before he made a rushed and impulsive decision.
Micah should have known his options but the fact he didn’t immediately reject his mate, meant, he was weighing the other option.
“Back off, beta.”
Alan was startled to see the animosity in Micah’s eyes, he had never seen him lose control like this. He was someone always calm
and collected, thus to see him in such a dark mood scared him.
Alan followed Micah to meet with Alpha James and Beta Ryan. He needed to know what kind of decision the King would make. He had never seen Micah so mad like this before.
“My King.”
“My King.”
Both the Alpha and his beta looked uncomfortable when they saw the King enter the room and take

a seat.
However, before they were given permission to sit down, they needed to stay standing up. That was the rule and based on that, they couldn’t sit until told otherwise, while the King didn’t say anything and only threw them a dagger look.
“My King, my apologies for this inconvenience.” It was Beta Ryan who started to speak first. He was so mad when he learned what happened from Hanna, but he needed to mask it well and think of a way to get less punishment for what Abby had done.
“Elaborate on the said inconvenience.” Micah leaned his back against the sofa and crossed his arms, as he stared at the two of them. Unadulterated rage rolled off his body and this made the Alpha and Beta before his eyes shiver in fear, trying to figure out how to get out of this ordeal.
“You’re not supposed to meet with her, My King.” Beta Ryan tried to explain the problem hastily, he was still trying to weigh his options over how he would address Abby. Who she was and why she was there.
He was thinking about lying, but Alpha James was against it, because lying to the King would bring a whole new set of problems for them.
“And why not?” Micah clenched his jaw. His expression was unreadable. “Who is she?”
“She is… my daughter, My King.” Beta Ryan felt like he just swallowed sand when he called Abby as his daughter. It had been more than ten years since he thought of her as his daughter.
Micah raised his brows. “But your other daughter said she is a servant.” He knew Abby must not be someone with a lower status.
Alan shifted behind Micah, he was standing behind the King. He frowned when he heard that. He thought the Beta only had one daughter.
“I am sorry about what my other daughter said, but she must have panicked at that time. Because we don’t think a monster like her is part of our family.”
“A monster?” Micah balled his fists tightly when he heard the way this man addressed his own daughter. “You call her a monster because she has that burn scar?”
“My King, please, give me back my daughter. I will teach her a lesson for bothering you. You don’t need to worry about this.” Beta Ryan lifted his head and braced himself to look the King in the eyes, so he would know how remorseful he was for letting Abby bother him. “I will take care of her. I am
for the inconvenience. You are too kind to her.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
sorry
Inconvenience.
So, this was what he meant by inconvenience… he felt embarrassed to let other people know that she was his daughter.
And even now, Micah did not yet know his mate’s name.
However, a second later, something clicked in his head and he abruptly stood up, which forced the Alpha and the Beta to take two steps back because of how intimidating the King was.

“Teach her a lesson? Did you beat her? You were the one who had beaten her and locked her inside the warehouse.” That was not even a question, but a statement.
“Yes.” Beta Ryan nodded. “She is quite dull and often needs to be taught a lesson or two.”
