The myriad of emotions coursing through her body left Abby trembling, so she could only hurry to leave there, not wanting to show Ruby how much this encounter with her affected her.

“Prepare the bath again while I take a walk in the garden,” Abby told her maid’s as she walked past Ruby. “The air in here feels too stuffy.”

Saying this, she didn’t give any chance to either her maids or Ruby to react as she lifted her long frock, and sped away from there.

Meanwhile, Ruby was frozen to her spot after listening to Abby’s warnings and she only came to her senses when that half witch said the air there felt stuffy.

What did she mean?

She was humiliating her again, wasn’t she? The nerve of hers!

She would remember this and wouldn’t spare her!

“Miss Ruby,” Alyssa called to her.

“What?” Ruby barked back.

And when that lowly half witch’s maid asked her to step aside so she could run after her master, Ruby felt like screaming at the top of her lungs.

Even a maid was not afraid of her.

In truth, Alyssa didn’t mean any disrespect but to her already overheated mind, everything just seemed vexing.

Abby couldn’t point out the exact reason, but once she ran far enough, she found her whole body trembling as she slowed down to walk.

She looked at her shaking hands which were drenched with sweat and saw crescent shaped impressions across both her palms.

During the whole time she was talking with Ruby, her nails constantly found themselves digging into her palms, out of nervousness.

Talking about nervousness, it wasn’t the only thing she felt right now.

Along with anger, a bit of fear and traces of self doubt, there was another emotion wrecking her heart. right now, and it was ‘thrill‘.

Yes, she was so happy she could stand up for herself, she felt the satisfaction deep in her bones.

She never gave a thought if she would be able to confront Ruby before this, or anyone for that matter.

So the whole encounter with herself coming out as the victor, left her blood thrumming in her ears. She was thrilled, period!

However, just as she reached the corridor leading to the back garden, an absent minded Abby bumped into someone and it was a young man who seemed to be three to four years older than herself.

“Oh my god! I’m sorry. I wasn’t looking where I’m going,” she immediately apologized as she stepped back until she was at least two feet away from the young man who didn’t seem to have received any damage from their collision.

“It’s okay, it’s a corner, it happens,” the man said, sounding amicable. “Moreover, you seem to be in a hurry, just like me.”

*He smiled at her lightly and Abby was surprised that the man casually talked to her as if he couldn’t

recognize her.

But then, not many people knew what the king’s mate looked like, since she spent very little time interacting with people before she fell sick and then left for the Red River pack to meet Mirella.

On the other hand, Abby was sure she had never seen this man before. However, from the way he was dressed and carried himself, it was clear he came from an influential family in this capital.

He looked tall enough but not as tall as Micah. Her mate would easily have more than a couple of inches

something they were blessed with birth.

They both stood in awkward silence when Abby didn’t know what to say to him while the young man let his eyes roam around the corridor behind her as if he was searching for something.

For what was beyond Abby’s knowledge, nor did she have the interest to know.

She nodded at him as a parting greeting when she tried to walk around him, but was stopped by the man. “Hmm, excuse me, pardon me for delaying you, but have you seen a young woman in her early twenties?”
