His Sweet Little Mate

Calpin was inside Micah, that was why he was exceptionally strong. He even healed faster than usual. It didn't even take a full second for his wounds to disappear, no matter how big they were. Even the wound from the fire Abby blasted at him after he bit her didn't manage to harm him for more than half a minute.

However, Alan managed to drop a few blows on him while Micah's beast recovered from Abby's fire. The royal gamma lent Alan a helping hand as they rained blows on their king non stop.

It would have been to their advantage if his wounds didn't heal in the blink of an eye, though, so the outcome was still the same.

Even combined, both Alan and Dax weren't a match for Micah. They couldn't subdue him.

[He will regain his full strength in a few seconds.] Alan told Dax, feeling dreadful when he realized the wound from Abby's fire quickly healed. It slowed him down considerably, though, which allowed them a few seconds of reprieve. [But we can't stop now.] Dax replied grimly. Because while fighting they had moved into the inner part of the palace.

This fight took up quite a large space that people were brawling in almost every corner of the first few towers in the palace. If they let Micah and the dark magic users oppress them, they would lose control of the palace. Limbs flew across the air, blood flooded the ground beneath their fight. Rogues fell faster but the royal warriors weren't doing too good either.

More and more people lost their lives, while those vile dark magic users managed to escape death mostly, even though a few of them met their demise when the elite warriors and the royal warriors caught them off guard.

Still, Abby and the rest were greatly outnumbered, which resulted in their enemies advancing further into the palace with each soldier of theirs that left their last breath.

With their numbers dwindling consistently, Micah would gain the upper hand in no time. They couldn't let him ruin their kingdom.

However, before Dax and Alan could sacrifice themselves and fight Micah to death, Micah's attention was snagged by a woman carrying a baby. [Damn it, Arlo is exposed to the fight.]

Both Alan and Dax felt their hearts stop beating when they realized Micah was quickly making his way to the baby. Because of the chaos caused by the rogues, some of the dark magic users managed to sneak into the inner parts of the palace and with the ongoing battle, they had enough time to sniff out the baby.

They barged into the old tower after finishing off the guards stationed there, both in open and secret, forcing Deion to come out of the tower with the baby. Staying behind was not a choice anymore when you were facing the fire wielding dark magic users. Left with no other choice, Deion let Neesha carry the baby. "Madam Neesha, you need to pull yourself together and keep Arlo safe at any cost."

He would have locked the baby up if it was possible, but Arlo was still just days old, so it wasn't wise to leave him to his own devices.

That was how Micah found the baby and was now rushing toward him, the murderous intention flooding his surroundings since he appeared before the palace gates still in place. If anything, it only intensified with each step that he took toward baby Arlo. On the other hand, Abby quickly explained how she realized what was wrong with Micah to Mirella. Just before he bit into her neck, Abby felt another person's aura inside him, it was none other than Calpin, and when he bit her finally, she could feel the same in her bones.

Calpin had possessed Micah consciousness, he was inside her mate now. That explained how he was able to dodge the spells Mirella used on him and also the sudden burst in his own strength.

What was even more shocking was the revelation that hit her when Calpin let her harm Micah. He actually didn't dodge her blast when he could perfectly deflect it and kill her instead.

"He wants me to kill Micah." Abby was horrified by this revelation. Everything made sense now. "Mirella, please find a way to take him out of Micah."

"There is no way other than killing him, Abby!" Mirella felt like she was swallowing iron nails while confessing this harsh reality to Abby, but it was the truth. "There is really no other way."

"No, Mirella. There must be a way. Just think hard," Abby pleaded with Mirella. How could she possibly let Micah die? She couldn't do it. There should be a way. The Moon Goddess wouldn't be so cruel as to take him away from her just after she saw him again after months of agonizing waiting.

However, a commotion deep from the palace cut short her pleas, as a flustered guard's words reached her ears.

"The King was going for his own baby!"

"What did you say?" Abby bellowed at the top of her lungs as she turned to follow the guard's line of sight.

And the sight before her eyes knocked the wind out of her lungs. Before her eyes, Micah was running for her baby with killing intent rolling off his baby.

He wasn't even bothered by the way Alan, Dax and Deion pounced on him repeatedly as they clawed and snapped their teeth at him, as he only advanced to where Neesha was surrounded by a few warriors that acted as a shield and prevented anyone from getting closer to baby Arlo.

Neesha looked like she was on the verge of spiraling, while death approached her Arlo, wearing the face of his own father.

"No, Micah!" Abby shouted, however, no matter how hard she screamed, there was no response from Micah. He wouldn't stop no matter what.

Seeing this, Abby was left with only one choice. She had to stop Micah even if she had to kill him today.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
