Chapter 10
Abby’s entire body went stiff when she heard someone opened the door and watched the king stepped inside. His aura and his presence were really intimidating, it made this room felt so tiny and narrow.
Abby lowered her head, she was trying to make herself small, as though by doing so, she could make the king not be able to see her. Of course, that was a crazy idea if something like that could actually happen.
“Are you eating well? Micah asked, he glanced at the tray, but there were still a lot of leftover. “You don’t like the food?”
Abby shook her head and quickly explained. “I already ate a lot. The food that was given to me was too much. I can’t finish all.”
“You can’t finish that all?” Micah narrowed his eyes at the tray of food. He couldn’t believe she ate very little, because that portion was the same portion for him, some time, he would eat more. “That’s not a lot.”
Abby gave disapproving look, but she lowered her head again, afraid she would make a mistake by giving the king such look.
“I am sorry.” Abby said timidly.
Micah closed his eyes. He sighed deeply before he knelt down in front of her and made Abby freaked out, since it considered very rude to sit higher than the king, more so, how she could let the king knelt down in front of her? She could be killed for this rude behavior.
However, Micah put his hands around her hips, steadied her so she wouldn’t be able to move. “Still. No. Still, Abby. Don’t move.”
“Bu
“Can you please relax? You are very nervous around me. I don’t like it.”
“I am sorry…”
“You don’t need to be sorry to me, Abby.” Micah pressed her body down when she tried to struggle again, until she sat still, but it was clear to see that she was very uncomfortable in this position. “I have never heard someone apologized so much in such short period of time we meet.”
“I am sorry…”
Micah gave her a stern look and Abby immediately realized her mistake, she clamped her mouth. when she was about to apologize again.
“I think there are a lot of things that we need to do with you, Abby.”
Obviously, this kind of personality wouldn’t suit the life that she would live in the palace, she was so far from being the proper queen in all sense, aside from being his destined mate.
Moon goddess must have her own plan to mate the two of them, to put the sacred bond for the king and her, but Micah still couldn’t figure out what was that.
The road ahead from them would be more difficult and complicated than his worst imagination.
“Abby, first thing first.” Micah’s voice was gentle, but there was a tinge of helplessness too, as he had never been in this kind of situation, not even in his wildest imagination. “You need to accept that you are my mate.”
“H–how? But, how can I…? That’s so rude… there is no way a king will mate with someone like me..” Abby replied carefully, because she was afraid, she would answer it wrongly.
“I don’t know why the moon goddess chose you to be my mate. I don’t have the answer for that. But, you must be the best woman for me to have this sacred bond with.”
Abby was trying to denial it again. “No… there must be a mistake, you can’t have me as your mate, my king…”
“Why not?” Micah put his finger under her chin to lift her head, so she could meet his cycs. “Why not, Abby?” He repeated the same question.
“My king, maybe you are not aware of this, but you should know what people in this pack called
me…”
“Monster.”
Micah didn’t need for her to say the word, he had his be dug more information about Abby and what the reason of her scar. He had not yet received a full report for that, but he knew a thing or two about how the people in this pack had been treating her.
It saved to say that tiny bit of information was already boiled his blood with anger, he didn’t know what to do if he received full information about what he needed to know about her.
On the other hand, Abby gasped when the king said it, she felt embarrassed, humiliated and wanted to cry, but she couldn’t. She needed to hold back her tears like she used to.
“There is nothing wrong with you. It’s them, not you. It’s fuck up for them to treat you like that when you are part of this pack too.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Abby flinched when she heard the king cursed, because her father used to use such fault words whenever he talked with her.
This subtle reaction didn’t go unnoticed by Micah. It seemed, started from now, he needed to watch the words he said. He didn’t use to curse, but somehow, this situation made him frustrated.
“I will take care of the rest. We will go to your home now and you can gather your belongings.” Micah caressed her cheek. He wanted to kiss her lips so badly, but he needed to hold himself back, because it was apparent that his mate was still scared of him.
“Why?”
“Because I will take you to the capital city tomorrow morning.”
Abby widened her eyes in disbelieve and Micah had to say how adorable she was right now when she was this shock. She was beautiful, even with her scars, she was beautiful.
She was like a fragile glass that had a lot of crack, a little bit pressure would break her, but somehow, those cracks made her beautiful.
“B- but
Micah stood up, he took her hand. “Let’s go, we will go to your house. I want to see your father too.”
