Chapter 83

Arthur took a really hard route to pressure Micah to leave Abby, as he didn’t even hesitate to involve the entire palace, even though he would have the basic idea of the consequences of his own actions.
From what Micah told her, the former king believed her to be a complete burden for his son, influencing all his decisions, until at a crucial moment, he actually forewent his duty as the ruler of this kingdom and let an enemy
escape.
He already deemed her as someone so weak and timid, even though he wasn’t wrong about these qualities of her.
She was indeed very weak and timid, be it before she met her mate or after the incident of nearly losing the last good thing in her life, none other than Micah, when Ruby took her to the town.
She could still feel the shivers run down her spine at the memory of that day, roaming around on the streets until her footwear wore off just to catch a glimpse of the few familiar faces she came to know after coming to the capital.
Only she knew how desperate she had been to return to the palace and reunite with Micah, who claimed to be her mate and promised to love and protect her with his own life, only to be kicked down by those palace guards who called her a monster again.
She thought she could outlive that dark part of her life when Micah took her under his wings.
Only on that day did she realize how naive she had been.
And she was once again pushed back into the rabbit hole made of her insecurities, fears and longing.
So when Arthur came to meet her, she was in her worst condition possible with the thought Micah might realize he made a mistake by recognizing someone so weak as his mate, someone who was branded as a monster and killer by her own family, not to mention she herself wasn’t able to feel any connection between Micah and herself.
At that time, he told herself to leave the palace since Micah didn’t complete the bond between them before her crowning ceremony where he was supposed to mark her in front of the elders and his royal council.
He didn’t even consider that they were mates for one second or giving her some time to adjust to her life here as
Emergency calls only
he was eager to chase her out of his son’s life.

And now, he actually turned the entire palace against Micah, even though his son told him he marked her already.
If her weak and timid nature alone couldn’t be overlooked by him then, it wasn’t surprising for him to be even more dissatisfied with her after learning her origin.
On the other hand, if she stopped and thought for a second, she couldn’t blame him completely.
Apart from being Micah’s destined mate, she didn’t have any merits to rely on to fight for her own place beside her mate.
In another scenario, where Micah was an ordinary shifter, it wouldn’t even be a problem if she couldn’t have any other criteria. It wouldn’t matter even if she was a runt.
But, the problem was; Micah was the King of the werewolves. He was a ruler with zero weaknesses until now.
And she knew how all the people looked forward to the very moment when he would find his mate, when he kept searching for his destined for so many years.
Now with Arthur’s instigating, the entire palace would be disappointed in her as well.
They all would have the same concerns as him, if not more.
Even she couldn’t help but agree with them on this matter; she wasn’t suitable for the position of the queen of this kingdom.
Be it her nature or her origin, everything about her made her unworthy of that position, which was none other the second most highest in this kingdom after the king himself.
With all her shortcomings swirling in her mind, Abby felt like her head would explode.
“I think he is right,” she said at last, startling the King, who fell into a deep thought after telling her how he suspected that his father was behind the unrest among the elders and the royal council back in the palace.
“Huh?” Micah was genuinely confused with her sudden declaration, while the girl had her head hung so low he couldn’t look at her expression clearly.

“I’m not suitable to be your queen,” Abby said, her voice breaking at the end of her sentence.
“What do you mean by that?!” Micah was shocked now.

However, there was no response from his mate, who still had her chin almost digging into her chest.
The King could only take her face into his hands, and his heart skipped a beat when he could feel moisture coating her cheeks.
“What…” Micah started only to be interrupted by Abby’s soft voice.
“All your problems would be solved if you leave me like your father says,” the girl said, even though her tears wouldn’t stop flowing.
Then she continued to point out all the inconvenience she caused her since the moment he met her.
As if she couldn’t gather the courage to suggest the same thing a second time, she tried to recount how the people from the palace would be so angry right now at him for all the things he had done for someone unworthy like her.
“I only bring troubles to you,” Abby said, all the while silent sobs left her lips as she looked like she would start hyperventilating any second now.
Seeing this Micah tried to interrupt her. “Little one, it’s not…”
However, Abby didn’t give him any chance as she cried even harder while stopping him by covering his mouth. “Please, don’t interrupt. I’m afraid I can’t muster this much courage to talk about this from both sides thi

a second time.”
This effectively shut him up, even though it killed him inside to see her this heartbroken, while she still tried to put others before herself.
She brought her right hand to his face as she traced his features lovingly, as if this would be the last time she would get a chance to do this and this broke the King’s heart. He was hurting her again, even though not directly.
With her left hand, she tried to wipe her tears, but to no avail. Her heart was aching so much to ask Micah to leave herself, to take away the only warmth she got after ten years of suffering with her own mouth, her eyes couldn’t take the memo that they shouldn’t distract herself from her thoughts.

Her face reddened with each second that passed as she started to hiccup.

However, she didn’t have the thought to stop. She knew she could only do this once. She wasn’t that selfless to sacrifice something so precious to herself time and again.
And Micah’s love was something that meant more than precious to her.
“So many people are angry at you, Micah,” Abby said as she searched his eyes, which looked at her with so much love, the girl felt she would succumb and plead with him to forget all what she said just now.
But then, she hardened her heart and uttered one last sentence. “Everything will go back to normal if you just listen to them.”
On the other hand, Micah felt rage filling his heart with each word that left her lips, not at her, but at Arthur for making the situation so big until his own mate thought it was all her fault. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Over my dead body,” Micah spat with such venom, Abby stopped crying for a second. “No one can tell me whom to choose as my queen.”
Abby was shocked by the anger that rolled off the King, but then she was even more flabbergasted when her mate punished her with a rough kiss. “Not even you.”
He said in between their kiss as he bit her lips for saying something so stupid as leaving herself.
“Micah,” Abby tried to protest, pushing his body away, but the King wasn’t having it.
“No, I heard all your silly ramblings. Now it’s time you hear my decision.” Micah refused to stop as he kissed her until her lips turned even redder than her face.
In no time, Abby turned soft in his arms as her legs gave away when he didn’t show mercy on her while stealing all her breath.
Soon, Abby felt like she would pass out from lack of air, only then did the King leave her lips, but he wasn’t done venting his frustration.
He attacked her neck then, where her scar from years ago was, as he nibbled on it until he deemed it was time to kiss her again before he returned to sucking her tongue again.
If she hadn’t been still recovering, he would have resorted to a different kind of punishment, one that would

leave her panting and thrashing on the bed under him.

He would have shown her just how much he wanted her with his body, mind and soul until she couldn’t think of asking him to sacrifice herself for others sake ever.
How could she think that he would be able to live without her?
From the moment he laid his eyes on her, she was his. No one could say otherwise. Not his father, or the elders or anyone else. Not even her.
Soon, all her tears were forgotten as Abby struggled to keep up with her man. At some point, his kisses turned a little less punishing, but the love he expressed was still strong as ever, overwhelming the girl as she couldn’t help but feel touched.
Micah only stopped when he felt he punished her enough.
“Listen to me carefully. I only want you as my queen. I don’t care about others‘ problems. They can try all they want. But I’ll not let anything or anyone take you away from me. I’ll do anything to keep you by my side,” Micah swore and a fresh set of tears brimmed from Abby’s eyes.
When she didn’t say anything for a long moment, while tears hung onto her eyelashes, the King proceeded to nip at his mark on her neck, making her hiss a little. “Do you understand me?”
Abby could only nod obediently in the face of his love.
“I’m sorry, I got carried away.”
Micah looked a little apologetic when he noticed her swollen lips and hugged her closer.
How could she not be selfish and wish for his care and affection when he loved her like this?
It had been years, precisely a decade, since someone showed her anything remotely considered care after her mother died.
Before her mother died, her family was very happy. Her father loved both Hanna and her equally, next only to their mother. But, everything came crashing down with her mother’s death and she was deprived of love.
Her own family never hesitated to hurt her, while the others in the pack didn’t dare to go against the Beta, who had the backing of the Alpha.

But Micah, even though she doubted their bond because she couldn’t recognize it at first, had always been
patient with her, showing only love and taking care of her. He even avenged her by actually exiling her father and sister, and then by punishing his friend since childhood.
Thinking all of this, Abby hugged Micah tightly as he kissed her forehead.
She shouldn’t think of the easy way out like this when Micah was doing so much for her.
Abby thought long and hard and promised to herself that she would become a proper queen for him.
Yes, this was the right thing to do.
She would take her etiquette lessons seriously once they were back in the palace and keep up with everything as much as possible. She was determined to learn everything that could help her become equal with Micah. Someone worthy of him.

“No, I’m sorry for suggesting something so silly,” Abby admitted truthfully as her eyes moistened once again.
