Alan had this grim look on his face as he listened to the report from a trusted warrior, whom he sent to ask around the palace to find out who started to spread the rumors.
After a simple investigation, they found out that the people out there had actually heard the gossip from trusted sources in the palace, which prompted him to focus on the royals and the elders.
With this revelation, it was obvious that Leon alone wasn’t the spy that had worked for Calpin. There were more people who wanted to stir trouble for the king.
“Those accusations were not light, but at the same time, the person surrounded by them was not ordinary either, so it was easy for them to spread like wildfire in a really short time…
“The King not coming forth to announce the news only served to turn them to believe that there was some truth to the rumors.” The warrior couldn’t help but frown as he recounted what he heard people talking in and out of the palace.
It was just like the saying, no smoke without fire.
Especially when the rumor was started by the people belonging to someone who had the most power among the royal councilors.
“Okay, I understand, you can go now.”
**********************
“I'm sorry, my queen, I can't accompany you today.” Alyssa looked a little apologetic when she told Abby that she couldn’t follow her around the pack house today.
“That’s what you usually do, Alyssa,” Abby said, looking a little puzzled. “Or are you feeling unwell?”
But her maid shook her head.
“Then why?”
Did someone bully her for being Abby’s personal maid? She wouldn’t put it above her disgusting former pack members.
However, she was just over thinking, because the next second she could see her little follower smile like a Cheshire cat.
“Because someone else wants to do it today.” Alyssa was beaming from ear to ear now.
“Huh?”
When she was still trying to make heads and tails of her behavior, she heard someone call for her.
“Little one, you ready?” Micah approached his dumbfounded little mate.
“It’s you?”
“Yeah, it's me,” Micah answered out of habit and then saw Alyssa covering her face to hide her smile.
It seemed his little one found out about this just now.
“Get used to it, I'm going to accompany you today,” Micah said, as he pulled Abby, who still couldn't believe her mate was doing this for her.
Because during the three hours she spent running around the pack, he was there with her, silently supporting her morale, which took a nosedive after those nasty rumors hit the Silver Moon pack.
And with him beside her, no one even dared to look at her in the wrong way, let alone gossip behind her back.
Just like that, the king followed his queen every other day, protecting both her and her feelings, which made the pack members slowly realize how stupid those rumors were.
“He clearly loves her, if she is pregnant with another man's child, why would he do so much for her?”
“I know right, just because she was spotted talking with someone, people did her dirty.”
Voices like these rose here and there when they saw how affectionate Micah was with Abby whenever they went out together.
This also made them remember how he held her on the high pedestal since they started staying in the Silver Moon pack so they could investigate those unusual deaths.
Those displeased voices got suppressed without them realizing it slowly.
