His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 136

“Queen Abby!!!” Nadia’s heart almost stopped beating when she saw the girl faint all of a sudden, but thanks to the royal gamma, she didn’t end up falling face first.

“Royal gamma Dax, quick, lay her on the bed!” Alpha Samuel urged Dax as he recovered from the shock finally.

Immediately, the royal healer and the others busied themselves with diagnosis of Micah and Abby.

“Royal healer Nadia, I’ll check on the Queen, you should focus on the King,” Gloria, the head healer of the Red River pack, told Nadia as she walked over to Abby’s side.

Along with Nadia, there was also the healer of the red river pack. Alpha Samuel thought the same as Alan and urged his own pack’s healer to make a trip down to this pack. But the healer of the Silver Moon pack wasn’t summoned.

Even Alpha James still didn’t know that the king and queen actually went missing. Just because they managed to bring them back, neither Dax nor Samuel were naive enough to let their guards down.

Every little slip up on their part might cost them dearly, and none of them were ready to bear consequences if things went south again. They already had enough on their plates.

“What happened to the King?” Dax asked Nadia as soon as she stood up with this deep frown on her face.

“His healing ability has slowed down for some reason. I’ll treat him for the blood loss first,” Nadia decided, feeling she would be able to tell the problem once the main issue, which seemed to be the cause of the unusual pale complexion of the king, had been dealt with.

“What about Queen Abby?” Samuel asked Gloria, when he saw his pack’s healer taking too long.

“She seemed to have over exhausted herself again, but it wasn’t as serious as the last time,” Gloria replied, as she proceeded to take her pulse next.

The last time she meant, was when Calpin drove her to the point where her power back lashed, and she fell unconscious for several days in a row.

“At least, she wasn't seriously injured…” Alpha Samuel caught himself when he saw this shocked expression on the head healer’s face.

“This is bad…” Gloria looked at Nadia. “She is pregnant.”

“It’s good news, what’s bad about it?” The royal gamma didn’t understand her words at all, while Nadia looked equally mortified as Gloria.

The royal healer swiftly rounded the bed to check on the queen. “She is indeed expecting.”

Even Alpha Samuel was confused by their reactions now, but then their expressions turned grim when the healers took turns to explain how the queen’s current condition might not be ideal for the growing baby in her stomach.

“So you are saying that her body is too weak, and the pregnancy might be unstable?” Dax’s stomach sank.

But then Nadia seemed to have remembered something. “But the fetus has the royal bloodline, so the baby would be okay as long as the queen recovers fast enough.”

Hearing this, the tense people that were holding their breaths seemed to have found a small reprieve.

“It still depends on her waking up quickly, then?” Dax lamented as his eyes landed on Micah then. “They shouldn’t be disturbed while recuperating.”

Nadia nodded her head in agreement. “But we can’t move them recklessly now.”

“I know, but it will be hard to keep the matter of them getting injured under wraps for too long.” The royal gamma didn’t dare to imagine the ruckus it would cause in the capital city.

“It’s no use bringing the unconscious king back to the capital, royal gamma.” The alpha reminded Dax. So that left them with only one best course of action.

Dax and Samuel seemed to have come to a tacit understanding about this matter before the royal gamma spoke again. “No one should know about the pregnancy.”

Apart from them both, only Nadia and Gloria were present in this room, even Alyssa was stopped outside the door by the guards when she came running after learning that Abby was back.

And upon understanding the gravity of the situation, the two healers immediately gave their word to be quiet about the whole situation.

“No matter what you need, just let one of us know, you will have everything you need to save their lives.”

Three lives were at stake now, none of them willing to gamble their luck in such a situation. And after thinking it through, they decided it would be better to keep Micah and Abby in two different rooms to help their healing process.

Only after Abby was shifted to the room next door was her personal maid finally able to go and tend to her now unconscious master.

“Alyssa, during these days, you should always be alert,” Gloria told her as she handed her a small bowl of medicinal herbs, so that the girl could feed her queen.

She treated Abby along with Nadia last time in the Red River pack, so she was more or less capable of taking care of the queen alone, while Dax thought it would be best for the royal healer to concentrate on Micah.

That way both of them could be well taken care of at the same time.

“This smells a bit different from the one you gave her before.” Alyssa’s sharp nose detected this small difference.

“I just added more effective herbs, there is nothing wrong with your master.”

Since they agreed to keep the news about her pregnancy among just the four of them, Gloria didn’t tell Alyssa either, but she still could see how much she cared for her master.

The girl was scared that Abby’s condition was way worse than they were letting on when she realized the medicine seemed different. Only with the healer’s reassurance, she could finally concentrate on her job properly again.

*****************

Two days passed since they were brought back, meaning it had been four days since they went missing and also Micah lost consciousness.

Just when Dax felt like going crazy evading everyone at the pack that kept pestering about the king’s current condition, there was finally some significant improvement in Micah’s condition.

“He will probably wake up by tomorrow evening!” Nadia declared on the third day morning.

“Has his healing ability recovered?” Dax looked hopeful for the first time in days, and her answer was akin to pouring honey in his ears.

“Yes.”

“Thank heavens! It’s high time he is back on his feet!”

“And it’s time you rest a bit.” Nadia pointed at his haggard face.
