Arthur took a really hard route to pressure Micah to leave Abby, as he didn’t even hesitate to involve the entire palace, even though he would have the basic idea of the consequences of his own actions.
From what Micah told her, the former king believed her to be a complete burden for his son, influencing all his decisions, until at a crucial moment, he actually forewent his duty as the ruler of this kingdom and let an enemy
escape.
He already deemed her as someone so weak and timid, even though he wasn’t wrong about these qualities of her.
She was indeed very weak and timid, be it before she met her mate or after the incident of nearly losing the last good thing in her life, none other than Micah, when Ruby took her to the town.
She could still feel the shivers run down her spine at the memory of that day, roaming around on the streets until her footwear wore off just to catch a glimpse of the few familiar faces she came to know after coming to the capital.
Only she knew how desperate she had been to return to the palace and reunite with Micah, who claimed to be her mate and promised to love and protect her with his own life, only to be kicked down by those palace guards who called her a monster again.
She thought she could outlive that dark part of her life when Micah took her under his wings.
Only on that day did she realize how naive she had been.
And she was once again pushed back into the rabbit hole made of her insecurities, fears and longing.
So when Arthur came to meet her, she was in her worst condition possible with the thought Micah might realize he made a mistake by recognizing someone so weak as his mate, someone who was branded as a monster and killer by her own family, not to mention she herself wasn’t able to feel any connection between Micah and herself.
At that time, he told herself to leave the palace since Micah didn’t complete the bond between them before her crowning ceremony where he was supposed to mark her in front of the elders and his royal council.
He didn’t even consider that they were mates for one second or giving her some time to adjust to her life here as

he was eager to chase her out of his son’s life.

And now, he actually turned the entire palace against Micah, even though his son told him he marked her already.
If her weak and timid nature alone couldn’t be overlooked by him then, it wasn’t surprising for him to be even more dissatisfied with her after learning her origin.
On the other hand, if she stopped and thought for a second, she couldn’t blame him completely.

Apart from being Micah’s destined mate, she didn’t have any merits to rely on to fight for her own place beside her mate.
In another scenario, where Micah was an ordinary shifter, it wouldn’t even be a problem if she couldn’t have any other criteria. It wouldn’t matter even if she was a runt.
But, the problem was; Micah was the King of the werewolves. He was a ruler with zero weaknesses until now.
And she knew how all the people looked forward to the very moment when he would find his mate, when he kept searching for his destined for so many years.
Now with Arthur’s instigating, the entire palace would be disappointed in her as well.
They all would have the same concerns as him, if not more.
Even she couldn’t help but agree with them on this matter; she wasn’t suitable for the position of the queen of this kingdom.
Be it her nature or her origin, everything about her made her unworthy of that position, which was none other the second most highest in this kingdom after the king himself.
With all her shortcomings swirling in her mind, Abby felt like her head would explode.
“I think he is right,” she said at last, startling the King, who fell into a deep thought after telling her how he suspected that his father was behind the unrest among the elders and the royal council back in the palace.
“Huh?” Micah was genuinely confused with her sudden declaration, while the girl had her head hung so low he couldn’t look at her expression clearly.

“I’m not suitable to be your queen,” Abby said, her voice breaking at the end of her sentence.
“What do you mean by that?!” Micah was shocked now.

However, there was no response from his mate, who still had her chin almost digging into her chest.
The King could only take her face into his hands, and his heart skipped a beat when he could feel moisture coating her cheeks.
“What…” Micah started only to be interrupted by Abby’s soft voice.
“All your problems would be solved if you leave me like your father says,” the girl said, even though her tears wouldn’t stop flowing.
Then she continued to point out all the inconvenience she caused her since the moment he met her.

As if she couldn’t gather the courage to suggest the same thing a second time, she tried to recount how the people from the palace would be so angry right now at him for all the things he had done for someone unworthy like her.
“I only bring troubles to you,” Abby said, all the while silent sobs left her lips as she looked like she would start hyperventilating any second now.
Seeing this Micah tried to interrupt her. “Little one, it’s not…”
However, Abby didn’t give him any chance as she cried even harder while stopping him by covering his mouth. “Please, don’t interrupt. I’m afraid I can’t muster this much courage to talk about this from both sides thi

a second time.”
This effectively shut him up, even though it killed him inside to see her this heartbroken, while she still tried to put others before herself.

“So many people are angry at you, Micah,” Abby said as she searched his eyes, which looked at her with so much love, the girl felt she would succumb and plead with him to forget all what she said just now.
On the other hand, Micah felt rage filling his heart with each word that left her lips, not at her, but at Arthur for making the situation so big until his own mate thought it was all her fault.
Soon, Abby felt like she would pass out from lack of air, only then did the King leave her lips, but he wasn’t done venting his frustration.
If she hadn’t been still recovering, he would have resorted to a different kind of punishment, one that would
