His Sweet Little Mate

he should be in a meeting with the elders.”

With the elders? Then he must be talking about the ceremony as well along with all other things.

As this thought flashed in Abby’s mind, she saw Alyssa smiling at her mischievously. Abby. immediately felt this servant of hers was planning something.

And sure enough, Alyssa didn’t disappoint her. “How about you pay him a surprise visit?” Alyssa almost wiggled her eyebrows as Reyna’s face lit up.

“You should definitely do it.” The girl nearly jumped as she persuaded Abby together with Alyssa.

And fifteen minutes later, Abby found herself walking toward the great hall where the King was discussing the affairs of his kingdom with the Council of Elders.

She didn’t know how to refuse someone at all.

Micah was about to say something to his royal beta when he caught his mate’s scent, which made. him change what he was about to say to ordering Alan to finish the meeting in his stead.

“Royal Beta Alan will take over from here,” Micah pushed Alan to the elders, not even hesitating for a second.

He dashed to the door and immediately saw his mate timidly following her two maids all confused. and adorable looking. And the way her eyes widened when she saw himself walking toward her made his own eyes soften.

“Touring around the palace?” He asked, taking her hand as she nodded like a kid caught stealing sugary goodies.

On the side, the two culprits, who pushed Abby into this situation, were grinning like two naughty. kids. Their faces gave away that this was their idea and the King didn’t mind it one bit.

“Had lunch?” Micah asked her and saw how the faces of her maids paled in the next second.

Heavens! They completely forgot about it. They actually dragged Abby around the palace with an empty stomach.

Would they be reprimanded again?

Abby felt Micah’s grip on her hand tighten at their reaction. “I think it just slipped their minds,” she involuntarily defended them. “Moreover, I’m not hungry yet.” She whispered to him, grabbing his hand that was holding hers with both hands while looking at him in all seriousness.

Micah, who was about to lash at them, softened when she heard her.

“Don’t repeat it,” he said while the two girls bowed their heads, nodding profusely.

“This will be the last time.” They swore as Abby relaxed on Micah’s side.

Only he said something in the next moment, catching Abby completely off guard. “You can leave

now.

Abby’s heart nearly dropped when she realized Micah was actually looking at Alyssa and Reyna. She thought he was dismissing her. But that didn’t seem to be the case. However, in the next second, she couldn’t help but dread what the King had in mind.

“I wil..”

Abby was about to say she too wanted to leave when she saw the culprits of her predicament running away like someone chasing them.

How could they not run when they just dodged a bullet? Abby couldn’t possibly blame them when she herself was also thinking about running away from him just a few seconds ago.

“Have lunch with me?” Micah said, as he saw her giving in to him. He could understand her fears, that was why he would be the one to dislodge them all. Slowly but surely.

Abby, as usual, couldn’t refuse the man and let him pull her toward the back of the palace, from where they walked toward the rows of trees lining the back garden.

“This…” Abby started, noticing what was awaiting her behind the densely packed trees. “My king. this place is beautiful.”

Micah smiled when he saw the pleasant surprise in her eyes. He knew she would like it.

He brought her to the lake behind the palace where he already arranged for someone to set a table under the biggest tree there. He mindlinked his warriors the moment he dismissed Alyssa and Reyna.

When Abby saw the table with two chairs by the lakeside with no one around, she immediately relaxed. He was really thoughtful and prepared. She couldn’t help but feel grateful.

“Let’s eat,” Micah said, pushing her to sit on one chair before settling on the other.

Abby was presented with a three course meal enriched with a few meat dishes.

“Thank you for the meal,” Abby said innocently, which made him smile at her cuteness. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The sun wasn’t really harsh this particular afternoon, as the girl started enjoying a pleasant meal under the shadow, feeling the occasional afternoon breeze caressing her face.

This place was both beautiful and peaceful..

“So, how did your appointment with Ella go?” Micah asked as he proceeded to pour a bit more soup into her bowl as she seemed to like it more than the rest of the dishes. “Did you finalize your dress for the ceremony?”

When Abby was about to answer him, she saw someone approaching them from the corner of her

eyes.

18:09 Wed, 6 Mar DD ·

It was a young woman looking elegant and poised in her navy blue ankle length dress that accentuated her curves. At one glance, Abby could tell she was someone with high status.

“My king,” the woman called Micah, her voice dripping with familiarity as she flowed to the table with her maids trailing behind her.

Her name was Ruby. She was the daughter of the former royal beta. She had been friends with Micah since they were kids as they basically grew up together.

“Ruby.” Micah acknowledged her presence, which prompted her to walk nearer to the table.

Only her movements looked well practiced when she stopped on his left side, just short of touching him and Abby couldn’t help wondering who she was and what his relationship with her was.

Ruby exchanged pleasantries with Micah before her eyes landed on Abby, who was subtly observing their interaction while chewing her food. “Oh, this is?”

Abby lifted her head when the girl mentioned herself, and saw Ruby throwing a business smile at

her.
