His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 139

It took two weeks for the news of Abby conceiving the king’s firstborn to reach the capital, but less than twenty four hours after that, rumors spread like wildfire back in the Silver Moon pack.

“It’s as if this is all premeditated, to create pressure on both you and the Queen.” Dax clicked his tongue, feeling disgusted with their dirty tricks. “What are they even trying to do?”

He couldn’t understand the motive of the person who planned all this crap. They had their doubts and some people didn’t fit the roles at all.

“Were they being used blindly?” The royal gamma thought of a lot of things, but he still couldn’t solve this mystery.

“What if they were finally letting the power hunger consume them violently?” Micah looked deep in thought.

“Eventually it was all working in that dark sorcerer’s favor,” Dax provided his insight, his expression a mixture of scowl and chagrin.

Even a blind person could understand this, but dwelling on it was of no use. “Is there any news from Mirella?”

“She must be back soon, she said she needs a few days at least to investigate that place thoroughly before leaving,” the royal gamma told Micah what the witch told him. “How is Abby doing?”

“She still has a long way to go.” The king was being evasive, but how could his gamma not understand what he wasn’t saying?

“Give her time, she will come around.” Dax didn’t look that bothered. “She is stronger than she lets on.”

“That she is,” Micah agreed.

They both saw how the girl immersed herself in the investigation to reduce the effect of those rumors circulating left and right out there on herself.

“It will help get my mind off of it,” she said, when he asked her to just give it a rest for a few days.

However, it wasn’t easy for her even then, because no matter what she did, Abby felt like people around her were pinning her with this strange gaze.

Some at least faked decorum, but the majority of the boot lickers she accumulated since her return to her so called old pack had been evading her.

“People’s hearts are even stranger than their minds.” Abby thought to herself as she couldn’t help but shake the image of the few maid servants that were just whispering until they were going to bite each other’s ears off.

“Stop, Alyssa.” Abby grabbed her maid’s hand, because the girl looked like she would blow her top any second now.

Abby’s hearing might be normal but Alyssa’s was exceptional. Even though those three omegas behind them were talking in really low voices, until Abby couldn’t hear, Alyssa could hear most of their words and the girl was feeling indignant at them.

“It’s not worth it, let’s get on with our work,” the queen told her maid, who was accompanying Abby in this investigation since Dax was a bit busy right now.

“What are you gossiping about all day long?” A stern voice echoed behind her and immediately, Abby could see those maids jump out of their skins.

“No- nothing, nothing.” The omegas parroted, clearly scared that they were caught in the act. “Oh, we still have something to do in the kitchen, pardon us, Lady.”

“A bunch of scaredy cats,” the woman spat at them, before she turned around and floated to Abby’s side. “Don’t let anything get to you, Abby.”

“I won’t, Mirella. Thank you for just now.” The girl was genuinely grateful, because she was feeling a bit uncomfortable until a few minutes ago.

“Next time thank yourself after teaching them a lesson,” Mirella clicked her tongue, feeling Abby was too softhearted. “You are the Queen, you don’t have to tolerate anyone.”

“Okay, I’ll remember that,” Abby smiled at the witch. “So I reckon you just got back from the woods?”

“Yes, give me like…” Mirella thought for a moment, as if debating something before her green eyes flashed. “Twenty minutes. I need a nice, long and hot bath after wandering in the woods for days.”

Abby chuckled at her expression and after deciding on the place, she hurriedly called over Alyssa. “Get the kitchen to prepare something sumptuous for Mirella.”

Twenty minutes later, Mirella finally made an appearance in the now makeshift study of Abby, where she could see a mini spread of delicious food on the table.

“Wonderful, join me.” Mirella pulled Abby to the table, where she had her first proper meal in days. Seeing her eat with gusto, Abby also felt her recently dulled appetite improve again.

“I didn’t know what I expected by asking you to go there, but if you did find anything strange, we can analyze our theories now.” Abby was being genuine with the witch, when the latter asked what made her feel the urge to investigate that groove.

“That groove is the strangest place I have ever seen in my life,” Mirella began after finally pushing her plate away. “There are traces of both magic and dark energy there. It’s no wonder you were creeped out by those gates, though.”
