His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 141

“You saw who?” Abby couldn’t believe her ears, which started ringing the moment Dax disclosed the results of their mission.

“Yeah, it was him, and he didn’t look like he was under any spell,” the royal gamma said, conviction evident in his voice. “Even his sister was there, so what do you think this is?”

Treason…

But Abby didn’t dare to think in that direction, because the man she interacted with for half a month and the person Dax described now were nowhere similar to each other.

She still remembered the warmth he provided her just by accompanying her and helping her go through those stressful days when she was struggling to prepare for her ceremony.

Seeing that she didn’t look good, Micah dismissed the gamma first. “We will take care of this later.”

Dax understood why Abby felt bad upon this revelation, so he chose to give them some space to talk this out.

On the other hand, Abby was really worried right now. Her hands felt clammy when she recalled the rumors that had been wreaking havoc both in the kingdom and her heart for the past few days.

“Do you think he has a hand in the recent riots?” Abby looked at Micah beside her and just a single glance at her mate, she could tell the king was inclining toward that possibility as well.

“You need to understand that people can do anything when certain interests are involved, little one.” Micah could see that she was blaming herself for letting Ezgar get close to herself. “But, I’ll check it and we will see how much he has contributed to everything that has gone wrong since he approached you.”

This is so messed up!

She even pleaded with her mate on his behalf, believing in his crocodile tears when he came and asked for herself to spare Ruby and their mother’s lives.

“I’ve been careless.” Abby shook her head, as she clutched her hands really tightly until they turned white.

Micah noticed her inner turmoil and immediately covered her hands with his own as he pulled them apart before holding them gently. “You are just gullible.”

Abby had to agree with him, just because Ezgar acted sincere in front of her, she didn’t even stop to consider he was the brother of the woman who actively tried to find trouble with her.

To think that she even envied Ruby for having such a caring brother! Ezgar really wasn’t a simple man. He even came to find her only when Micah was extremely busy, which was thought provoking as well. There were so many signs, but she ignored them all.

“But you also trusted him, and thought he was an upright man.” Abby could immediately see regret flashing in his eyes, it was very subtle, but it was there.

“I miscalculated,” Micah grunted, unable to believe that things had turned out like this. “I had some doubts when he approached you without my knowledge, but thought I was just overthinking.”

Abby recalled how he told her to stay away from the man when she told him Ezgar approached her before the execution of his family. She didn’t understand why he went as far as punishing Ezgar so harshly by removing him from his position as the chief of elite royal warriors and made him a normal guard instead.

But now she felt his actions weren’t unwarranted.

“Who knew he would go as far as burning bridges so boldly?” Abby couldn’t help but mutter and Micah just smiled at her. But that didn’t reach his eyes, which were cold with fury.

“There are so many unimaginable things people do when they stop fearing death.”

His words implied that only death was awaiting Ezgar now that he dared to betray him and Abby didn’t know how to feel about this.

Did Ezgar really have only using herself in his mind? He had always treated her so warmly, and all of that was acting? But the evidence was right in front of her face. Abby didn’t know what was right and what was wrong anymore.

Micah could see the conflicting emotions flashing past her countenance, but he didn’t change his stance. She needed to understand that people wouldn’t always be what they tried to portray themselves to be.

Perhaps, this whole fiasco would help Abby finally realize that she couldn’t ever let her guard down with her current position as the queen of this kingdom. This is good in a way!

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

This afternoon, Abby finally decided to walk around the pack and try her luck in tracing the magic like Mirella had been doing to locate people.

Her mind was a mess since she found out about the possible involvement of Ezgar in her misery after she met him and Mirella, who had been given a brief rundown on things by the nosy royal gamma, thought of sharing her expertise over this skill to rejuvenate her spirits.

Only Abby didn’t expect to find herself in front of her old house after trying to follow Mirella’s instructions over how to trace the magic, which were quite simpler than she thought.

“Let your instinct lead you when you find the difference in the air around you, magic always leaves traces behind and if you focus enough you can feel them in your heart.”

Mirella snapped her fingers to let her fire flow out of her body first. She then asked Abby to feel the air around her, while letting her own fire flow out of her body.

Abby was fascinated when she felt flames floating around Mirella when her own fire met hers in the air.

“This is incredible,” Abby exclaimed and Mirella couldn’t help but grin seeing her so excited.

Abby grasped the feeling with both hands and tried to practice it several times, upon trying a few times, she felt this pull toward a certain direction, which led her to her old house and Abby felt conflicted just looking at this place.
