His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 126

At least half of their pack members could be seen kneeling at the entrance gates of the Silver Moon pack as they welcomed the king’s entourage. “All hail the King and Queen!!!”

If he was given a chance, Alpha James would have even arranged a carnival, but the gloomy situation with deaths looming over their heads seemed to be the only reason that stopped him from exaggerating this visit from Micah and Abby this time around.

Even so, the pack members were dressed to the nines, as if this was the most joyful occasion since they were born and the happy smiles upon seeing their queen, who was none other than a monster until a few months back in their eyes, was a sight to behold.

Abby felt annoyed just seeing her old pack members being overly enthusiastic as they escorted them from the entrance till the pack house. If two more people hadn't lost their lives while she and Micah were on their way here, would they have been even more brazen?

Weren’t they trying too hard to please her, just because she turned out to be the king’s mate? But it actually had the opposite effect on her to see them being this nice to her all of a sudden.

Some even went as far as asking about her well-being, while some cried fake tears saying they missed her, of course, they didn’t cry in her face. They just talked to each other, ‘quietly’, right beside the carriage.

Even she could hear their so-called whispers, so how was it not possible for Micah and others, who were shifters, not to hear it. And the gist was that, wasn’t it?

To make the king and others believe that Abby had a good life here! Because, they clearly knew the girl had felt anything but good living here. Abby was simply disgusted by their actions.

Currying favor with people that had power over you was one thing, but this was on a whole new other level! How could they act like Abby hung the moon in the sky all of a sudden?

Abby counted seconds until the carriage reached the pack house, Micah didn’t say anything, so she didn’t either! But she tried to mask her thoughts as much as possible, as she kept her eyes down the whole time they took to escort them to their accommodation.

“My King, My Queen, I’ve arranged the most exquisite guest room for you,” Alpha James said, as he bowed once again when he saw Micah and Abby alighting the carriage. “And I’ve already changed everything to new in there.”

He hurriedly led them into the pack house, and Abby couldn’t help but feel relieved that she didn’t need to live in that nightmare of an old house of hers.

Only after listening to his next sentence did she learn that no one was living in their old house. “I would have prepared your old house, Queen Abby, but it isn’t in a good condition.”

And then he went on about how they would feel more comfortable in the pack house, because he arranged everything they would need here. The more James talked, the more irritated Abby felt, because the man had only one thing in his mind; pleasing her, with things she didn’t care about.

He didn’t hesitate to overdo it at all, because he even pestered the royal gamma, saying he got everything covered for their stay here and how they didn’t have to feel troubled to ask for anything.

“Alpha James, we are here to investigate the unusual deaths, not for a vacation!” Dax, who was walking behind with Samuel and Mirella, pointed out the absurdity of his behavior.

“Right, right, but you all have traveled so long, you need to rest properly before you could dive into investigation and all, even if it is for just a while.”

“Then, stop pestering us and let us rest until dinner!” Dax didn’t bother to feign any respect as he openly dismissed the alpha. Only then the man stopped harassing them and finally turned around to leave, but not before throwing the words ‘let me know if you need anything, no matter how small it is.’

“Can he be any more obvious or shameless?” Abby mumbled, so quietly, it was as if she just moved her lips, as she let Alyssa close the door behind her.

“Did you say something?” Micah asked her, because he saw her lips moving from the corner of his eyes.

“No, I didn't!” Her answer came too fast to sound convincing.

When Micah kept staring at her, Abby just brushed him off saying she was too hungry to say anything out loud at this moment. “I wonder when the dinner will be ready.”
