His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Micah, Micah!" Abby called out tentatively, but there was no response from the beast beneath her.

She was still protectively wrapped up in his limbs, but she could lift her head just fine. The only problem was; she couldn't move much, being locked up in his arms, while his muzzle was too big to look at his head clearly.

"Don't scare me, Micah!" She pleaded, but when there was still no reaction that she could detect, Abby had to come to terms with the fact that Micah had lost his consciousness.

Did his head knock really hard into whatever, most probably a boulder?!, when he fell with her in his arms?

"Heavens!" She wanted to curse.

Of all the things Abby thought might happen tonight, being pushed by her father down this cliff was the last thing. To be honest, she didn't even think it was a possibility.

They were prepared for a battle, yes, that was why Micah chose to summon the royal warriors, leaving out the two packs' warriors as back up plans.

But now, looking around the valley she was stuck in with an unconscious Micah, Abby felt like no amount of planning could have prepared them for this.

No matter where she turned, with the minimal room she had, all she could see was darkness. Did they fall into some kind of ditch? She couldn't tell if that was the case, because there wasn't even a hint of light around here.

But high above their heads, all kinds of mountain trees surrounded them, covering the view completely, until she couldn't see the night sky at all. The sparse moonlight that illuminated the cliff up there was completely blocked out by the thick canopies, until all she could make out was outlines of things, not being able to say for sure.

"Just what kind of place is this?" Abby couldn't help but mutter as she wiggled her body, and when she expended almost all her energy, she could finally free herself, as his limbs weakly fell to the sides. However, the moment she snapped her finger, and there was this little flame at the tip of her finger, almost looking like a candle, all she could see was this hard surface surrounding them. Was that a rock? Abby didn't know if she should laugh or cry, because it seemed they had fallen into a gap between two rocks.

Her breath hitched when she took a good look at his head, which was now covered in blood, because of the fur, if you weren't paying full attention, you wouldn't be able to realize he was bleeding a lot. "Why are you bleeding so much?" Abby felt her stomach twist painfully as she knelt beside his head. She realized his healing ability seemed to have compromised a little. She tried to seek his wound with her free hand, and sighed a little when she couldn't find an open wound.

At least his wounds seemed to have closed. She didn't dare to think how horrible his situation would be if he kept bleeding.

But then she noticed how the air around them was rather chilly, while the ground beneath her knees felt a little damp. It gave an extra ominous vibe to this place. She tried to shake her mate awake, but to no avail.
