His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"My Queen!"

Abby looked at the man, who bowed until his front aligned with the floor beneath them in a perfect parallel line, with this slight frown on her face.

"You can stop with your acting, it'll help save my time." She couldn't care less about the way the man stiffened at her words, still with his head lowered. "If you like that position very much, you can continue admiring the floor beneath your feet."

With that, she proceeded to stand up from her chair, as if wanting to leave her makeshift study in the next second. It was almost dinner time and she also needed to take her medicine later.

"NO!" The man shouted, and when he remembered he just lost his control in front of the queen, he immediately bowed again. "Please forgive my clumsiness, and give me a moment to talk to you." He didn't receive any response this time, though, other than this sound of Abby's foot tapping away impatiently. She was clearly unhappy to have this encounter with him. But what could he do, if she left now, he didn't know when he would get a chance to clear this tense air between her and his whole pack.

All Alpha James could do was, forget his ego and focus on the matter at hand. "My Queen, the King told me to follow him to the battle with the rogues, along with Alpha Samuel. Since we are leaving tomorrow, I thought of talking to you about something."

Abby wasn't ignorant of this new change in the plan, Micah told her he would take both the alphas with him to the battle, but she didn't know how that arrangement made him want to talk to her again. She was very happy by treating him as air until now, since Micah didn't allow anyone he deemed unworthy of her emotions to appear in front of her.

However, knowing she would refuse a private meeting with him, Alpha James suddenly requested an audience with her in a high profile manner, and she had to face him again in weeks, just for the sake of appearances.

But by allowing him to bow to her twice, she had already done her part, and if she walked away right now, there was nothing this annoying alpha could do, but she still found herself talking to the alpha. "I don't have all day, Alpha. Just say what you want to say and be done with it.”

The last time he talked to her, she only felt utter disgust and unadulterated anger seeing his audacity to ask for her forgiveness. And going with the way he shuffled uncomfortably on his feet, Abby could tell he was here to sing the same tune again.

And as if just to prove her right, the next words that left his lips comprised another apology. "I hope you will find it in your highness' self to forgive me and this pack's members..."

He was cut off by a scornful laugh from the girl standing tall in front of him. It didn't match with the wretched image that got imprinted in his mind after watching her being miserable for years in this pack at all. The girl before him was nothing similar to the naive and timid child that was abandoned by her own pack which feared its beta, who did everything in and out of his morale to make her suffer through years. Her eyes that used to shake with fear were now slowly absorbing the coldness the world threw at her and Alpha James had to accept the fact that his apology came a little too late. "Why are you asking to be forgiven again?" Abby wiped the corners of her eyes brimming with water from laughing too much. "After all, there are so many offenses if you include your pack as well." Alpha James felt his cheek burn with the invisible slap he received, because she was right. His pack wasn't small to begin with. His request was clearly brazen, but he couldn't stop now. "My Queen, you are magnanimous and benevolent, so please let us off this one time and we will be forever grateful to you."

However, his sweet words only made the girl before him look even colder, and the man started second guessing his idea to talk to her. He got flustered when she didn't say anything and just looked at him with this mocking smile on her face.

"I know it was an unforgivable sin to isolate you when you are just a child, no child should be put through what you have gone through. This pack and I are beneath you, so please grace us with this one chance. Everyone is seriously repenting for turning their back to you while you suffered under your father."

Isolated me when I was just a child? James really had a way with words. But then...

are asking me to overlook it?" Abby would have clawed his face if she was a shifter.
