His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

Chapter 117

Abby’s aim to alight this entire floor had been quite simple. She wanted to trap Leon with fire, and then wait for people to notice it and notify the king.

The plan before her was simple, if she just went with it, she wouldn’t become a burden to Micah again.

Leon promised her death, but he didn’t kill her right away even though he had ample time to go for her life after kidnapping her. Instead, he wanted to hand her over to those rogues, which meant there was more to this entire situation.

If she let them take her away just like this, she might become a pawn in Calpin’s game and she wouldn’t let that happen. So she didn’t hesitate to burn the rogues when they tried to get her.

Once Micah found out there had been a fire in a tower inside the palace gates, and came to take a look, he would be able to guess that it was her fire and she would achieve her goal.

For this reason as well, she let the fire wreak havoc in this building, though she didn’t let it go out of her control and spread to other buildings.

After that, she kept watch of the rogues‘ bodies that were burning right now. She needed them as evidence to pin Leon with

treason.

However, she didn’t take into account that Micah had no means to contact her. She was not a shifter, so they couldn’t use the mind link even though they were mated.

She didn’t expect Micah to rush up here to find her, which had in turn made

many

warriors suffer.

“Royal Beta Alan, it was too hot in here,” one of the warriors said just as they reached the third storey after much struggle. The fire was so intense that they could see various furniture melting around them from the high heat and they couldn’t help but be amazed how the king didn’t bother to stop even for a second when he ran up floor after floor in search of his mate.

Of course, he wanted to find her as soon as possible and now she was finally in his arms after almost twenty hours since he realized he hurt her for stupid reasons.

Only he knew how much he regretted falling into his old ways of doing everything by himself. The look of hurt that twisted her face when she accused him of untrusting herself would forever haunt him. If he could, he would turn time back just to avoid giving her that impression.

However, he knew it was something beyond impossible, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t repent. He was man enough to own his mistakes, so that was what he did.

“Please forgive me, little one,” Micah said, pulling slightly away from her, so that he could take her face into his palms and let her see how remorseful he was for hurting her, even though it hadn’t been his intention at all to make her feel useless.

When she pointed out how he could at least seek comfort from her when she might not be able to help him by coming up with deadly strategies or grand revenge plans, Micah realized how his actions might have led her to thinking that he was leaning toward other’s opinion about her.

“I never thought of you any less than my equal. I mean it, I just wanted to keep you safe, at any cost,” he divulged, pouring all his sincerity into his words and could feel her own eyes moisten when she saw how red his eyes were.
