His Sweet Little Mate

"Alan, Dax!" The relief which flooded her veins seeing the royal beta and royal gamma arrive in their beast forms was something she couldn't describe.

Alyssa was badly injured while Mirella was having a hard time fighting the two beasts alone, because she stopped Reyna from lunging forward after seeing her other maid get hurt.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Everything happened in a span of mere minutes after those beasts broke in through the window. Mirella burning the grayish brown beast's legs, Alyssa getting clawed and then those beasts turning even more feral. Abby half believed she was going to lose her life tonight. So when the royal beta pounced on the two beasts along with Dax, the queen was still in shock.

It was Reyna who came to her senses first as she rushed toward Abby, who looked like she was about to collapse where she was standing.

[My Queen!] The girl shifted back in a flash, but because of the fact she was not used to this whole shifting process, she took a second longer. However, Mirella was there to save the day.

Seeing their aid arrive, she immediately put out the flames raging over the furniture across this patch of bedroom, before turning around to Abby. "Abby!"

The witch swiftly dashed to the queen, ignoring her own exhausted body, as she supported the fainting woman, before carrying her deeper into the room and away from the beasts grappling on the floor before the sofa.

Mirella laid Abby on the bed before turning to Reyna, who was now helping Alyssa. The girl couldn't shift back because of the wound near her neck, that still hadn't started closing.

"She is losing too much blood!" Reyna felt her blood draining from her face as she cradled her fellow maid in her lap.

"Let's bring her away from the fight first, here," Mirella said, as she helped Reyna drag Alyssa away just as Alan and Dax managed to suppress the beasts until they turned back to their human forms.

"Call Nadia over!" Mirella bellowed once the royal beta turned around to check on Abby, who was now frowning deeply. Even though they couldn't sense any wounds on her, her fainting from shock wasn't something they could ignore now that she was heavily pregnant.

Immediately, Dax and Alan jumped into action as Dax mindlinked the warriors they brought with them to send summons to Nadia while Alan shifted back to aid Alyssa shift back as well.To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i'b.com. The quiet night that turned chaotic in the span of a mere twenty minutes when Arthur's scheme to get rid of Abby almost succeeded finally regained some semblance of peace as the royal warriors that had partaken in the coup were finally subdued by Alan and the warriors he brought.

As soon as the situation seemed a bit calm, the royal healer rushed to the king's tower to check on Abby, who was currently unconscious. "Alyssa..." Abby gasped as she came to herself and her unfocused eyes slowly refocused, where she could see the royal healer fussing over her. "She is fine, the wound has closed and she is healing." Nadia reassured her, when she saw Abby was about to jump to her feet to run to Alyssa.

The main reason for the failure of her wound closer was the location of the injury, the beast's claws lacerated Alyssa's neck quite closely to her jugular, which ruptured quite badly and this resulted in the continuous loss of blood.

It was really a miracle for her to hold onto her consciousness until Nadia and her assistant arrived, or else the girl would have lost her life today.

Alan speeding up her shifting back also helped a little, and now she was shifted to another room, where Efrem, Nadia's assistant, was taking care of her.

Abby calmed down for a second at the news before her face morphed into a picture of pure terror. "My baby!"

"Calm down, My Queen! Your baby is fine. You fainted from shock, and once you calmed down, you will be alright." Nadia hurriedly explained and only stopped when Abby finally realized on her own that the baby was fine.

Abby's eyes brimmed with unshed tears when she felt her baby kick before it moved around a little in her womb. Relief washed over her as she caressed her bulging stomach over and over again.

It was a really close call tonight! She didn't expect Arthur to forget everything and risk executing such a reckless ambush.

Had she been too pliant that he thought she could be pushed around? He even dared to harm her baby! She had been lucky enough this time, but she wasn't naive enough to think this would be the only time Arthur would do something like this. Hell! He couldn't even stop to consider that she was carrying Micah's blood and flesh! Would there be anything that could possibly make him see reason?

This shouldn't be left unapproached. With her decision made, Abby immediately turned to Alan and Dax. "Gather the royal council!"

Alan and Dax immediately sucked in a cold breath.

"What are you thinking about doing?" Alan was the first to come to his senses as he looked at Abby in a new light. Determination and rage, a reckless combination in any situation, oozed out of her, making him dread why Abby wanted to call this sudden meeting. Instead of answering him right away, the queen posted him a question of her own. "Royal Beta Alan, how many guards lost their lives tonight?"

This made the man exchange a look with the royal gamma, who looked as confused as the former as to where this conversation headed.

"Answer me, Alan! How many?" Abby didn't raise her voice, but the intensity in her tone made it sound like she did anyway.

Alan was momentarily stunned at the authority rolling off her body. The woman before his eyes looked completely different from the scared girl that pleaded Micah all those months ago, where she shook just at the thought of her father finding out she crossed a line Ryan set for her. Involuntarily, he answered her, his voice turning a bit somber at the image he was greeted with the moment he reached this part of the king's tower.

"Everyone stationed around this wing."

Since it was the King's sleeping quarters, there would be comparatively more guards patrolling this part of the palace, not to mention Abby was pregnant and needed more protection.

"Tell the warriors to leave the bodies untouched until I say so." Abby ordered, her expression still grim. "And I want everyone to gather in the great hall in half an hour."

By everyone, she meant the nineteen members of the royal council, those ten elders and the nine representatives from all the packs.

"But why?" Alan asked, unable to hold himself back. He couldn't really understand why Abby was insisting on this.

"I'm going to announce that there has been a coup against me!" There was no hesitation in the girl's voice, as she hugged her baby, showing she wouldn't budge from her decision. "I want everyone to know how this palace has been treating their queen." "You want to announce what?" Dax repeated, feeling perplexed about the repercussions of the news. of this coup getting out there.

"Calm down, Abby! If this gets out, it can go two ways..." Alan began, wanting to point out that her adversaries might turn even more brash with their cards laid out there for everyone to see.

"How worse can it get, Alan?" Abby looked at Alan with sharp eyes, she was really fed up with the court politics now. "Alyssa almost lost her life tonight."

"But, we can handle them for you. We can take measures like strengthening the protection around you."

"It will only cause more deaths, even more than tonight." Abby stood up from the bed. "I don't want a repeat of tonight. Even if our warriors have to die, it should be on a real battle field, fighting enemies, not in the crossfire of noxious royal politics" Abby's stance was clear, but the royal beta didn't feel it was a wise decision.

"I don't think they would see it as a warning, but as a chance." Dax agreed with Alan. "If you announce this news to the public, it would be no different from waging an open war with them."

At least, in the veil of amiability and decorum, her adversaries could be restrained a little now, but if word got out and people found out the constant life threats Abby was facing, they might spiral which would only leave the court even more tumultuous. But they had forgotten something. "The moment they started spreading those odious rumors, the war had already started."

Hearing her, Alan felt his throat tighten at the reminder as Dax stiffened beside him.

"Moreover, it might have been me in Alyssa's place tonight. She managed to hold on because she was a shifter. Had it been me, what do you think you would be doing now?"

Her tone was completely even, she was being neither servile nor overbearing, as she just wanted to make them understand how far the situation had already escalated.

"But there will be no coming back from this." Alan was convinced already, but the thought of putting Abby and her baby at even more risk made him feel like his hands were tied.

"They tried to kill me, not even thinking of sparing the little life in my womb. What else is there to think about, Alan?" She looked furious now. "I don't want to hide anymore. The more I hide, the more they think that I can be pushed around. I'll not forgive them." Her tone left no room for negotiation.
