His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Queen Abby!!!" Nadia's heart almost stopped beating when she saw the girl faint all of a sudden, but thanks to the royal gamma, she didn't end up falling face first. "Royal gamma Dax, quick, lay her on the bed!" Alpha Samuel urged Dax as he recovered from the shock finally.

Immediately, the royal healer and the others busied themselves with diagnosis of Micah and Abby.

"Royal healer Nadia, I'll check on the Queen, you should focus on the King," Gloria, the head healer of the Red River pack, told Nadia as she walked over to Abby's side.

Along with Nadia, there was also the healer of the red river pack. Alpha Samuel thought the same as Alan and urged his own pack's healer to make a trip down to this pack. But the healer of the Silver Moon pack wasn't summoned.

Even Alpha James still didn't know that the king and queen actually went missing. Just because they managed to bring them back, neither Dax nor Samuel were naive enough to let their guards down.

Every little slip up on their part might cost them dearly, and none of them were ready to bear consequences if things went south again. They already had enough on their plates.

"What happened to the King?" Dax asked Nadia as soon as she stood up with this deep frown on her face.

"His healing ability has slowed down for some reason. I'll treat him for the blood loss first," Nadia decided, feeling she would be able to tell the problem once the main issue, which seemed to be the cause of the unusual pale complexion of the king, had been dealt with.

"What about Queen Abby?" Samuel asked Gloria, when he saw his pack's healer taking too long.

"She seemed to have over exhausted herself again, but it wasn't as serious as the last time," Gloria replied, as she proceeded to take her pulse next.

The last time she meant, was when Calpin drove her to the point where her power back lashed, and she fell unconscious for several days in a row.

"At least, she wasn't seriously injured..." Alpha Samuel caught himself when he saw this shocked expression on the head healer's face. "This is bad..." Gloria looked at Nadia. "She is pregnant."

"It's good news, what's bad about it?" The royal gamma didn't understand her words at all, while Nadia looked equally mortified as Gloria.

The royal healer swiftly rounded the bed to check on the queen. "She is indeed expecting."

Even Alpha Samuel was confused by their reactions now, but then their expressions turned grim when the healers took turns to explain how the queen's current condition might not be ideal for the growing baby in her stomach.

"So you are saying that her body is too weak, and the pregnancy might be unstable?" Dax's stomach sank.

But then Nadia seemed to have remembered something. "But the fetus has the royal bloodline, so the baby would be okay as long as the queen recovers fast enough."

Hearing this, the tense people that were holding their breaths seemed to have found a small reprieve.

"It still depends on her waking up quickly, then?" Dax lamented as his eyes landed on Micah then. "They shouldn't be disturbed while recuperating."

Nadia nodded her head in agreement. "But we can't move them recklessly now."

"I know, but it will be hard to keep the matter of them getting injured under wraps for too long." The royal gamma didn't dare to imagine the ruckus it would cause in the capital city.

"It's no use bringing the unconscious king back to the capital, royal gamma." The alpha reminded Dax. So that left them with only one best course of action.
