His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

It took two weeks for the news of Abby conceiving the king's firstborn to reach the capital, but less than twenty four hours after that, rumors spread like wildfire back in the Silver Moon pack. "It's as if this is all premeditated, to create pressure on both you and the Queen." Dax clicked his tongue, feeling disgusted with their dirty tricks. "What are they even trying to do?"

He couldn't understand the motive of the person who planned all this crap. They had their doubts and some people didn't fit the roles at all.

"Were they being used blindly?" The royal gamma thought of a lot of things, but he still couldn't solve this mystery.

"What if they were finally letting the power hunger consume them violently?" Micah looked deep in thought.

"Eventually it was all working in that dark sorcerer's favor," Dax provided his insight, his expression a mixture of scowl and chagrin.

Even a blind person could understand this, but dwelling on it was of no use. "Is there any news from Mirella?"

"She must be back soon, she said she needs a few days at least to investigate that place thoroughly before leaving," the royal gamma told Micah what the witch told him. "How is Abby doing?" "She still has a long way to go." The king was being evasive, but how could his gamma not understand what he wasn't saying?

"Give her time, she will come around." Dax didn't look that bothered. "She is stronger than she lets on."

"That she is," Micah agreed.

They both saw how the girl immersed herself in the investigation to reduce the effect of those rumors circulating left and right out there on herself.

"It will help get my mind off of it," she said, when he asked her to just give it a rest for a few days.

However, it wasn't easy for her even then, because no matter what she did, Abby felt like people around her were pinning her with this strange gaze.

Some at least faked decorum, but the majority of the boot lickers she accumulated since her return to her so called old pack had been evading her.

"People's hearts are even stranger than their minds." Abby thought to herself as she couldn't help but shake the image of the few maid servants that were just whispering until they were going to bite each other's ears off.

"Stop, Alyssa." Abby grabbed her maid's hand, because the girl looked like she would blow her top any second now.
