His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

All the way to the old tower, Arthur held baby Arlo, while Deion followed the trio silently. He couldn't decipher the expression on the queen's face, but he had his guard up.

The last time Neesha, the former queen, met Abby, she had been pretty violent, given Abby was a heavily pregnant woman. But Arthur's mate didn't seem to be in a state to distinguish between right and wrong until she slapped the queen, almost making her lose her balance. Had it not been for Alyssa, Abby would have been heavily injured, by extension putting the baby in danger. So, forgive him if he didn't regard Neesha's status if she tried to harm Arlo, or his queen mother.

Queen Abby asked him to prioritize Arlo's safety, it didn't matter who was the opposite person, he was going to follow that order through and through.

On the other hand, Abby still didn't know what to expect from Neesha. The woman had been extremely sweet to her the first time they met, but then she learned Abby was a half witch and all hell broke loose. She turned so agitated, she even tried to kill her. Then she slapped her when she met her again. This would be the third time she met the woman who gave birth to her mate. She had mixed feelings about this whole situation.

Just before they reached Neesha's bedroom, Abby stopped Arthur. "Are you sure she is calm enough for this meeting?"

"Absolutely, like I said, she is his grandmother, she wouldn't harm her own blood and flesh."

"Coming from you, these words hold less conviction." Abby's jab was unintentional, but she didn't give Arthur a chance to retort or defend himself as she pushed the door open. "Let's hope you are right."

Abby held out her arms for Arlo before they could enter and Arthur was sensible enough not to deny her as he calmly handed over the mumbling mess in his hands.

Arlo smiled as soon as Abby came into his view again, he seemed to love the adoring gleam in his queen mother's eyes whenever she looked at him, so he unconsciously responded to her affection with equal passion.

Only then they entered the room, and Neesha could be seen lounging on the small sofa which was placed a few feet from her bed.
