Chapter 25

“She is my mate.” Micah answered Ruby’s question politely.

Even though she wouldn’t stop trying to step even closer to the King by each second that passed, Micah only talked to her when necessary, always keeping his responses short and direct.

“She is?” Ruby said, trying to sound polite. She then turned around to face Abby completely before giving her a onceover.

She sounded extra cheerful too, while her words came out too forceful.
