His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Abby, you really ordered all of the attackers to be executed?" Dax rushed to Abby's bedroom right as the queen returned from the great hall with Alan in tow. He slid his gaze to the royal beta to check if the latter just bluffed him though the mindlink. However, his attention was steered back to the cold woman perched on the edge of the bed at her answer. "Yeah, I want to make an example out of this turn of events."

Shock couldn't even begin to cover what he felt right now, because the royal gamma felt like he didn't know the woman before him at all. A quick glance at Alan told him he wasn't the only one who discovered this anomaly.

She was so different from the easily scared, insecure girl they met all those months ago. Now she could more or less be considered similar to Micah, doing things fearlessly and decisively. They saw her making two such decisions tonight, one when she decided to make the news of the attack public, and the other when she coldly ordered for her attackers to be killed right away.

And this left them completely astonished. If only they had heard her thoughts when she believed she was really going to lose her life in the hands of those beasts tonight. That moment was a literal wake up call to her.

Abby hadn't really thought Arthur and his bootlickers would ever pose any real threat when they tried to nitpick everything about her or her way of doing things the past few months. But her mate's father took a drastic step tonight and she knew she couldn't afford to let her guard down again.

"Wow, you really didn't hesitate." Dax whistled, quickly recovering from the shock, as he imagined what the elders' faces would have looked like when they saw Abby finally put her foot down and assert her stance. "Some of them are so stubborn, they can't think past their prejudices and ego."

"Don't encourage her, moron." Alan felt different about this whole situation. "Abby, you do understand that they won't sit back doing nothing after what happened tonight, right?"

"Of course, they wouldn't, but we wouldn't be as vulnerable as before either. We will be ready from now on." Abby was quite confident in this matter.

"I give it two weeks before they try something else." The royal gamma looked excited for some reason. Alan gave him a stern look, for the man looked like a cat that had been promised some premium treats, but the gamma just shrugged his shoulders. He hated those old men and their stuck up attitudes since forever anyway.

What Dax predicted didn't come true, because Fabron and the others didn't start sighing again before three weeks had passed.

Just like Abby wanted, people were made aware of that night's attack along with the death penalty of the royal warriors that partook in the same and it had a very promising effect. It actually pressured the elders so much, all of them started to be sort of on tenterhooks every minute since then.

At least, it let Abby do her things in peace for a few days, but like everything else, this was also short lived as Fabron chose to be difficult again, even though it seemed to be unintentional this time around.
