Chapter 100

“No, my son. Meeting your mate is equally important and you have already delayed it enough,” Arthur said, knowing fully well Micah couldn’t refute him on this.

“I know what I’m doing. Father, you better bring mother back first or else, her health might deteriorate further.” Micah said, trying not to lash out at Arthur right now.

“I don’t think walking around the palace and greeting some guests could do any harm to a shifter, no matter how sick they are,” Arthur countered, not willing to take the hint or showing any hints to back down. “On the other hand, I reckon she may find it hard to accept your mate if she finds out her origin…”
