"There is news?" Abby didn't realize she was holding her breath as she looked at the royal beta, who had this indescribable expression on his face.

"This... Abby..." The man looked perplexed to continue his words.

But she didn't have the patience to notice it. "Give it to me."

Alan had indeed rushed here as soon as he received the missive, but he also skimmed through it while he was on his way to this strategy room, which made him hesitate now.

Before he could think as to how to convey the information to her, though, the queen chose to snatch the piece of paper from his hands and skimmed through it in quick succession. He immediately saw how her legs gave away, as she almost collapsed where she was, if it was not for his quick reflexes.

"It can't be!" Abby's voice was no more than a whisper, as Alan helped her to the couch behind him. "NO! This is not true."

Abby broke down, unable to process the words, while Alan didn't know how to console the woman who was now crying a river at the loss she suffered.

And loss would be an understatement, because on the paper, it read her Micah was no more. Her baby's father had died during the battle with those pests.

"There must be a mistake, Alan!" Abby couldn't digest the news. "Yes, there must be a mistake!"

Her mate was the king of the werewolves, how could a bunch of rogues kill him? But why didn't Alan look like he thought so? Was he inclining toward the words written on this paper?

"Why are you looking like that? Didn't they write that they couldn't find his body?" Abby was almost hysterical now.

The tracker only mentioned Micah was likely to be dead because they couldn't find his body, while no one was able to mindlink him anymore. But them not being unable to trace a person didn't mean he no longer existed, right?

There could be many reasons for the mind link to fail, dying couldn't necessarily be the only reason. He could've gone missing like the last time.

There was still hope for her to hang onto, so that was what she was going to do! How could she give up on Micah without even knowing what happened to him, just based on this single missive?

"Dax is on his way here with Mirella, they would know something about him. I won't believe it until I see his body." Abby was now mumbling to herself, crushing the paper unconsciously while tears kept flowing past her cheeks.

On the other hand, Alan could see this was utterly devastating for her, but the tracker clearly mentioned Dax and Mirella returning to the pack with the bodies of Alpha Samuel and Alpha James, who died on the battlefield.

There was no way the royal gamma leave his king behind if he thought there was any hope for Micah. Dax not writing anything to him only solidified the possibility of the tracker's words being true. Even though he found it hard to accept and wanted for this to be all a false alarm, Alan couldn't really lose his grip over reality, now of all times.
