His Sweet Little Mate

Chapter 31 66% “My King…” Ruby’s words stuck in her throat when she saw all those warriors falling in order in a disciplined manner before waiting for the King’s order. She couldn’t believe her own eyes. She shared a look with her friends and saw how the three of them were scared out of their wits. However, she quickly recovered as she continued approaching him. Only Micah wasn’t able to control his anger when he remembered how Abby didn’t feel comfortable with Ruby at all the day. before. “What the hell actually happened?” He roared at Ruby the moment she stopped in front of himself. The thought of Abby roaming around a place completely foreign to her, all alone and scared, wasn’t allowing him to think of anything else. “Why do they say you lost my mate in the town?” He bit out each and every word as if they were dipped in venom. His voice was so intimidating, coupled with the cold look in his eyes, he looked anything but cool at this moment. Ruby felt her heart shaking with fear, but she still stood her ground. “I- i didn’t lose her, My King.” Ruby almost stuttered, but she recovered in the next second. “Abby wandered off on her own.” Micah frowned at her choice of words. “Why would she do that when she knew nothing about this place?” Alan, who was beside the King, asked her when the girl wouldn’t elaborate further. Ruby looked conflicted as if she didn’t know how to answer Alan’s question. Then the girl sighed in defeat as she revealed in a soft voice. “A bard caught her eye and she followed him even though I tried to stop her.” Ruby felt proud of herself when she could still talk without faltering given the situation she was in. She just had to hold on a little longer, everything was still under her control. On the other hand, Alan and Micah couldn’t help narrowing their eyes at Ruby. A what? Bard?

Even Alan found it ridiculous. Let alone Micah. He didn’t believe Abby was that stu pid to follow a random person, let alone who made a living out of telling stories in the streets.

He couldn’t help feeling even more enraged at her words. “What did you just say?” He almost barked at her. “I’m telling the truth, My King,” Ruby said, as she took his anger as a positive sign for herself to continue. She believed the King was furious at Abby. How could he not be mad when his mate left him? For a wanderer no less? The girl didn’t leave him, but she wouldn’t be able to return in tto save her own position, 1/3 5:03 Fri, 8 Mar Chapter 31 66% +6 Ruby had planned everything already. The moment she saw Abby at the lake, she could tell how timid she was. And from the way she behaved today, it was obvious the girl led a sheltered life. since the only other option was leading a prisoner life. Abby would have a hard tfinding her way inside the palace gates again. “She said she was not happy here, and that life here was too troublesome. She didn’t like it.” Ruby said what she practiced in the carriage along with her friends while on their way back to the palace. She then proceeded to explain how Abby expressed her discomfort about several trivial things and how she wanted to leave this life at any cost. She just cup with anything that would support her own claims, trying to make use of the King’s rage in her own favor. If the King didn’t believe her, she had the girls to vouch for her and she didn’t believe Micah would still take Abby back when she did find her way back here by slast minute luck. Her plan was fool proof.

However, the King was having none of her nonsense. “Stop spouting nonsense,” Micah enunciated each word of his that Ruby and the other three shuddered at the power in his voice. “My King?” Ruby felt her heart beating in her throat. All she got in response was his ragged breathing as he glared daggers at her. She couldn’t look at his face anymore as she blurted out. “You don’t believe me?” “What do you think?” Alan, who had been silent all this time, pinned her with a look as he asked her in an even tone. Ruby didn’t understand where she went wrong in her calculations, but she knew she couldn’t back down, now of all times. “She really said…” Ruby chose to deny to the end but Micah cut her off mid sentence. “Enough,” he shouted and Ruby couldn’t help but shut her own mouth. “I’ll investigate this matter myself. But before that, pray to whatever g od that nothing happens to my mate. Or else, even I don’t know what I would do. I’ll hold you accountable for it and you wouldn’t like the outcat all. Even your family won’t be able to escape my wrath then,” Micah promised her. It was clear that he didn’t believe a single thing she said. On the other hand, Ruby’s friends, who were about to chin with Ruby and exaggerate what Abby did, just like they planned, couldn’t follow through the plan anymore. They really thought getting rid of that timid girl was a walk in the park. But Micah’s reaction let them know how wrong they had been. The King was a man of his word. If he said something, he would definitely see to the end of it.. At first, they believed the King would definitely take Ruby’s word for it and immediately get rid of 2/3 15:03 Fri, 8 Mar DB Chapter 31

Abby. Only Micah had a different thought in his mind. 66% Against Ruby’s words, whom he knew for decades, he believed his own mate, who he met just less than a week back. Maybe four days back at most. They then saw with helpless looks on their faces as Micah sent groups after groups of searching parties to comb through the town they went to have their lunch date. # SEND GIFT
