His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 124

As Micah ordered, Alan stayed behind to take care of the palace and the royal council, while Dax followed his king and queen to the Red River pack three days later.

It took two days to reach that pack from the capital city, and Alpha Samuel was waiting for them at the borders for their carriage just like the last time to greet Micah and the rest.

However, there was no rogue attack this time and once they received them, Micah immediately called for an audience from Mirella, the witch.

“Alpha Samuel, summon the witch immediately,” Micah said, following the alpha into the strategy room of this Red River pack.

“On it, My King!” The alpha bowed to the king as he opened the door for his king and queen so that they could enter the strategy room.

“Little one, do you want to rest some more?” Micah asked Abby once they were settled at the table, to wait for the witch. They were on the road for two days straight, but Abby insisted that she would also sit through this meeting.

Even though Abby felt a little lethargic from all the journey, she still stood by her word from earlier. “We can rest once we learn the new leads.”

Abby knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep even if she wanted with the thoughts of what Mirella might have found about Calpin’s whereabouts plaguing her mind. So wasn’t it better to just wait a little more?

Micah, obviously, knew what was running through her little mind, so he didn’t try to persuade her again, but he called Alyssa over. “Go to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare a few light dishes.”

“Yes, My King!” Alyssa immediately left to get the work done so that she could go and check what else Abby might need in the guest bedroom the king and queen would stay in while they were here.

It didn't take long for Alpha Samuel and Mirella to arrive, but Abby didn’t expect she was in for a shock.

“Long live, the King and the Queen!” The witch bowed to them solemnly once she stepped into the room along with the alpha. When she stood back up, Abby couldn’t help but feel there was something off with the way Mirella looked at her.

It was only for a brief second, but Abby felt the witch definitely seemed a bit different today.

Micah too noticed it, but asked for the witch and Alpha Samuel to sit down with them first. “Your missive about information on Calpin, what exactly are your leads?”

“Word reached our ears that black magic appeared in a pack nearby,” Mirella started, but from her tone, both Micah and Abby could tell it wasn’t a case of ordinary black magic.

So Abby asked the obvious. “What sets it apart from the other such incidents?”

“There were two peculiar things about this,” Mirella started. “One is the place where it occurred and the other is the strangeness of its effect.”

“Elaborate!” Micah ordered, while Abby felt an increasingly bad feeling about this.
