Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 58

Gannon POV

A few days later

This is what I was worried about the moment she left those castle gates. Worried about the state she would return to me in, and I cursed myself for not going against the King, for not stepping in sooner. This could have all been avoided if I had just killed him. Kyson had given me the week off to help her adjust yet she hardly spoke.

She hardly left the room at all. Almost as if it was her little bubble of safety. I knew it wasn’t healthy and her silence was deafening. disturbing almost as if she was no longer here. She even refused to shift and go for a run. Even though I would catch her constantly looking out the window at the forest.

Deciding I needed to do something about it, I went to see Kyson, wanting to take Abbie away for a while and get her out of this castle. Her depressive state was only getting worse.

I wasn’t even sure if it was because of her lost bond or if she was just haunted by the memories. The King was leaving today. He had business to take care of, and I wanted to see him before he left in case he got held up and didn’t return for a few days.

Though I highly doubted he would be gone long, The Queen wouldn’t handle his absence long, and I knew he hated leaving her. The fear in his voice when Liam and I got the call that she took off after Abbie floods me. Never had I felt so much fear. Fear for the Queen, fear for Abbie. Because I knew the only reason Azalea would defy the King was for Abbie. That night had haunted me since.

“Where are you?” the King had asked. We were on our way home with the boys after killing Mrs. Daley and the butcher. My spirits had lifted until that mind link had opened..

*10 minutes out. What’s up?” I had asked.

“I am on my way back home, but further out, I need you to get Azalea and bring her home.” the King told me which I had thought was a little odd, because why would she leave the castle at night?

“Azalea?” I asked.
