Chapter 58
The sun was just peeking from behind the horizon as the cool morning breeze swirled into the room through the slightly opened window of this guest bedroom.
Even though it wasn’t particularly chilly, Abby felt this need to snuggle closer into the warmth that surrounded her frame as she slept comfortably on this big bed.
Bed? She didn’t remember falling asleep on any bed. Just when this thought struck her. subconsciousness, Abby felt this comforting scent filling her lungs, making her feel especially good.
What was about this scent? It was so calming and refreshing, the girl couldn’t help but smile int
content.
However, this pleasant confusion didn’t end there. Her skin started erupting in sudden but blissful goosebumps which actually made her want to hum in delight, as the awareness started prickling her senses.
On the other hand, feeling his mate slowly come to herself in his arms, as she snuggled closer to him with each second that passed until it was impossible for anything to come in between them, including the air, the King couldn’t help but press his l*ps to her forehead as a silent sigh of relief escaped his chest.
Only he knew how confused and frightened he was when he saw her collapse in his arms within. seconds of feeling relieved to be able to hold her again after the emotional roller coaster that strange witch put him through.
Recalling that moment still made him shudder and he couldn’t help but nuzzle her cheek to wake her up completely, so that he could really breathe with ease.
And when the girl finally opened her eyes with this adorable yet confused expression on her face, the King felt this sudden urge to k*ss her all over her face.
“Good morning, little one,” he said, his voice hoarse when he had to suppress his sudden desire for his mate. “I’ve missed you.”
The sincerity in his voice was so raw, Abby felt her heart melt. Literally.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then her voice wouldn’t come out as her throat was completely dry.
Realizing her discomfort, Micah immediately reached out to the small tumbler of water on the bedside table before pulling himself into a sitting position while leaning against the headboard.
He then swiftly yet gently pulled Abby up and into his arms again until she could rest her head on his shoulder so that she could drink the water comfortably.
“How are you feeling?” The King asked the girl once she looked a little better as color slowly started returning to her pale cheeks.
Abby shook her head, indicating she was fine and when she tried to pull back from him, Micah actually tightened his arms around her, as if he did not want to let her go for even a second.

Seeing this, Abby wanted to tell him that she just wanted to look at his face but the King beat her to it as he inhaled sharply. “Just a moment. Don’t move.”
His voice left no room for negotiation.
Abby was shocked to hear his desperate tone and before she could wonder what made him sound so out of character, the King continued his plea.
“Just stay like this for a moment. You don’t know how scared I was when you didn’t wake up no matter what I did yesterday.”
Micah couldn’t help but hug her even tighter, as if he would mend her into himself if he could as he told her how helpless he felt once she fell unconscious.
Not just helplessness and fear, he also felt this all consuming rage.
If not for the fact that his little one was still clinging onto him, despite being unconscious, he would have barged into the hut to drag that witch out himself to demand an explanation.
No.
If he thought back to that point, Micah was sure he didn’t have a big enough heart or a patient enough mind to spare the witch when he recalled how Abby screamed, cried and then apologized in a broken voice in less than two hours while he could do nothing to stop it.
He would have killed her with bare hands, woman or not.
Consequences could be damned for all he cared! He wouldn’t even have given a f*ck before snuffing the life out of her.
However, before he could really go berserk and ordered for this hut to be burnt to ashes with the witch in it, he saw Mirella actually walk out of the hut with a cool expression on her face.
The woman even had the audacity to look directly into the eyes of the King when she softly briefed him with what happened to his mate, seeing the unspoken question in Micah’s eyes which were now flashing between rage and fear.
Rage at the witch for landing his mate in this situation, while fear that Abby was hurt in any way.
“Don’t ever do that again,” Micah literally pleaded Abby, his eyes mirroring the emotions he was feeling afresh.
Every time he recalled her fainting like a lifeless doll, Micah felt like destroying something.
On the other hand, the raw fear in his voice made Abby’s heart thump faster as she could feel his sadness like her own.
“I didn’t mean to faint like that,” Abby said truthfully, not understanding how to respond to his genuine confession.
Hearing her, the King couldn’t help but chuckle at her cuteness. “I know, little one. You were just
exhausted.”

Micah said as he shifted Abby until she was straddling his lap. For some reason, hugging her like this was something the King enjoyed a lot even though his lower b*dy couldn’t help but disagree with him.
It was pure torture to suppress his desire for his mate while hugging her this intimately.
So to divert himself, the King lunged back to the current topic of their conversation. “She told me a part of your memories had been sealed.”
The witch didn’t hold back at all once the King was calm enough to hear her out.
She told him how she noticed Abby’s scar was a bit unusual and made connection with the little details he provided in the secret missive he sent her.
Apparently, that sealing of memories also caused Abby to be unable to feel the mate bond between them.
But she didn’t explicitly point out her findings in front of all the warriors waiting outside. She was actually wise enough to put a small but invisible barrier around them three to keep this conversation confidential, showing how shrewd she could be.
Since the King wasn’t patient enough to follow her into her hut or somewhere far from the others. even to have this conversation, she was quick witted to think of a solution for this problem.
The King would give her that.
On the other hand, Abby couldn’t help but nod her head against his chest. “Yes. It’s still a little unbelievable.”
“I agree,” Micah said honestly, remembering what else the witch told him.
His mate was actually a magic user, who awakened her powers at a very young age.
This was really unbelievable and the King was genuinely surprised that Abby actually had the blood of a magic user.
Because Riley, Abby’s mother, was a magic user. This turn of events was something he didn’t expect
What could have compelled her to take that step?
Micah couldn’t brush this thought off so easily when Riley’s actions implied this matter was too complicated.
16:19 Fri, 8 Mar RGB.
On the other hand, the King fell silent as he hesitated a little before saying what was on his mind.
He wanted to know if she was able to feel the mate bond between them now that the seal had been removed by Mirella,
But then he couldn’t help but think that Abby was really exhausted right now to have that
The only problem was his need to get closer to her. It was overwhelming. He had to distract himself.
Micah rubbed her n*eck absentmindedly, wanting to touch her skin as he plunged deep into his thoughts. However, he didn’t notice how Abby almost gasped at their skin contact.
Abby, who was silently enjoying the love the King was showering her with, immediately started touching his bare chest as if she was trying to find out something.
