Micah couldn't help but feel his blood boil with rage every time the thought of what would have happened to Abby, if she hadn't been able to talk herself out of her trauma the way she did to capture Leon just so she could help her mate catch a damned traitor, crossed his mind.

He tried to cool off before going back to their bedroom where his little one would be waiting for him. After much persuasion, she agreed to have her dinner alone because he had to take care of a few things after talking to Leon.

But he still couldn't keep his cool when he reiterated his conversation with that bastard traitor, as Abby listened to him calmly.

"It's going to be okay now that we smoked out the rat, so don't let your anger influence your judgment," Abby said, once Micah finished his monologue where he explained how Leon insisted he didn't know anything about Capin or what he intended to do with her in his hands.

"I can't stay calm when they try to target you," Micah confessed, as he hugged her tightly. He was protective of her and would do anything to ensure her safety.

Abby hugged her unhappy mate's hands as she rested her head on his left shoulder, where they were sitting on the sofa right now. As soon as Micah came back, he pulled her to settle on the couch, where he made her sit on his lap, her back to his front.

The girl tilted her head a little to the side to look her mate in the eyes as she asked, "So, Leon turned out to be a dead end?"

"It's still too early to say that."

Micah could see his mark on her neck from this position, even though his eyes were constantly pulled to her lovely face, as she had her guard completely down around him. She was relaxed because she felt the safest in his arms.

Moreover, she felt a little happy because her mate was caring enough to respect her reasonable wishes as he tried to keep her updated with his plans and thoughts as much as possible, just like right now. She didn't even ask him about the progress with Leon's situation, but Micah took the initiative to let her know what he found while interrogating him.

But the only problem was, Leon wasn't letting up anything. That sneaky bastard!

She moved around a bit on his lap to find a comfortable position to continue staring at her mate, as her neck felt a little stiff to look up at him from this angle, but accidentally woke his little brother up and heard a groan rumble deep in his chest.

"Uh oh!" Abby immediately jumped to her feet, forgetting that she was still sitting in his lap with his arms around her stomach. As a result, she fell right back and this time, she felt like crying because it seemed she did it on purpose.

"Um... sorry," Abby apologized shyly, feeling embarrassed out of her mind. Her cheeks turned red immediately when Micah stared at her with heated eyes. "Um, I think we should go to bed."

"To the bed?" Micah breathed out the words while looking at her and the bed in turns, and only then Abby realized her choice of words was total nuts. She closed her eyes for a second and shook her head, as if chiding herself.

She immediately wanted to say she meant they go to sleep but Micah suddenly lurched to his feet, making her hold onto him for dear life as she thought she would definitely fall.

The girl didn't know what happened, but the fall she imagined never came, instead she felt herself floating in the air. When she opened her eyes, Micah was carrying her the bed.

She was still processing how her mate achieved this feat, when Micah laid her on the bed. "Now what?"

Hearing Micah's question, Abby was dumbfounded. "Wh- what what?" She stuttered with her eyes widened.
