His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"You saw who?" Abby couldn't believe her ears, which started ringing the moment Dax disclosed the results of their mission.

"Yeah, it was him, and he didn't look like he was under any spell," the royal gamma said, conviction evident in his voice. "Even his sister was there, so what do you think this is?"

Treason...

But Abby didn't dare to think in that direction, because the man she interacted with for half a month and the person Dax described now were nowhere similar to each other.

She still remembered the warmth he provided her just by accompanying her and helping her go through those stressful days when she was struggling to prepare for her ceremony.

Seeing that she didn't look good, Micah dismissed the gamma first. "We will take care of this later."

Dax understood why Abby felt bad upon this revelation, so he chose to give them some space to talk this out.

On the other hand, Abby was really worried right now. Her hands felt clammy when she recalled the rumors that had been wreaking havoc both in the kingdom and her heart for the past few days.

"Do you think he has a hand in the recent riots?" Abby looked at Micah beside her and just a single glance at her mate, she could tell the king was inclining toward that possibility as well.

"You need to understand that people can do anything when certain interests are involved, little one." Micah could see that she was blaming herself for letting Ezgar get close to herself. "But, I'll check it and we will see how much he has contributed to everything that has gone wrong since he approached you."

This is so messed up!

She even pleaded with her mate on his behalf, believing in his crocodile tears when he came and asked for herself to spare Ruby and their mother's lives.

"I've been careless." Abby shook her head, as she clutched her hands really tightly until they turned white.

Micah noticed her inner turmoil and immediately covered her hands with his own as he pulled them apart before holding them gently. "You are just gullible."

Abby had to agree with him, just because Ezgar acted sincere in front of her, she didn't even stop to consider he was the brother of the woman who actively tried to find trouble with her.

To think that she even envied Ruby for having such a caring brother! Ezgar really wasn't a simple man. He even came to find her only when Micah was extremely busy, which was thought provoking as well. There were so many signs, but she ignored them all.

"But you also trusted him, and thought he was an upright man." Abby could immediately see regret flashing in his eyes, it was very subtle, but it was there.

"I miscalculated," Micah grunted, unable to believe that things had turned out like this. "I had some doubts when he approached you without my knowledge, but thought I was just overthinking."

Abby recalled how he told her to stay away from the man when she told him Ezgar approached her before the execution of his family. She didn't understand why he went as far as punishing Ezgar so harshly by removing him from his position as the chief of elite royal warriors and made him a normal guard instead.

But now she felt his actions weren't unwarranted.
