Chapter 48 Arthur was just about to go back to his room for breakfast after having his morning tea in his courtyard when he saw someone walking toward the old tower.
This morning he didn’t let anyone disturb his morning routine, wanting to enjoy squiet tafter being literally chased by the former royal beta, Leon, for the past few days.
So he was quite surprised when he saw that it was actually Micah who chose to grace him with his presence.
He was about to greet him with a smile when he noticed how cold his son’s eyes were. Arthur was. confused as to why his son looked like he clooking for a fight “Father, didn’t | tell you not to disturb my mate?” Micah didn’t bother about greetings and respect when he was fuming mad at his own father for wh he said to Abby.
He couldn’t imagine what he would have done if she really heeded his father’s advice and thought leaving him was the right thing to do.
Just the thought alone was making him want to go feral.
“Micah, my son,” Arthur started, wanting to say that he just did what he thought was the right thing to do.
“Stop it, father,” Micah cut off Arthur, knowing fully well Arthur was still thinking there was nothing wrong with what he said to Abby. “I don’t want to hear what you want to say. I'm here to warn you one last time.” “Warn me?” The former king repeated after him, not believing his son just used that word with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, I'm warning you. Never try to meet her without my knowledge again.” Micah stressed every word of his, as if he wanted to make it clear to Arthur that his son was really warning him, with his very own words unlike last time.
‘Or else?’ This was on the tip of Arthur's tongue when Micah beat him to it as if he could guess what he was going to say as he answered his unspoken question.
“You knowvery well, Father,” Micah said, leveling Arthur with a look.
And the former king immediately understood where his son stood in this matter.
His son just implied that he wouldn't be polite anymore toward himself if he couldn't control his newly acquired prying nature.
And before he could retort or defend himself, Micah turned around to leave.
The former king could only stare after his son’s leaving silhouette, unable to stop him even though he felt his son went too far for warning himself over a small matter.
1/3 FIL Chapter 48 Micah decided to leave for the Red river pack after three days and let Abby know the same, so she could prepare herself for the departure.
Even though he wanted to leave as soon as possible, so that he could help Abby find out why she couldn't feel the mate bond between them, the looming problem of the increased rogue attacks. didn’t allow him to do as he pleased.
Moreover, even his echelon decided that dealing with the rogues couldn't be delayed anymore.
So only three days later, after finally devising a new plan to deal with the recently escalating rogue situation, Micah could finally lead a few warriors to the Red River pack.
It was a two day long journey to their destination and he only brought just enough warriors, so as not to attract any attention to themselves. Not to mention the random attacks by the rogues hadn't been stopped yet.
He ordered for his royal beta, Alan, to stay behind while Dax, the royal gamma tagged along with them on this journey.
The entourage was not really huge as it consisted of only two carriages.
Micah didn’t go for the royal carriages either, which would only blow up their cover in an instant.
“Get on, little one,” Micah said, pulling Abby into the carriage while the girl looked a bit confused that there were only a few people coming with them.
The first tshe traveled with the King, the entourage alone was big enough to obscure the path they took. So it was a little surprising to her that the King was actually keeping it so low profile this taround.
However, once the carriages started moving, which was almost immediately, Abby seemed to have forgotten about the oddness as she couldn't stop smiling with the excitement she was feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe amount of times she traveled to a new place could be counted on one hand. Her life before her mother died was almost like something out of her imagination as she spent the past decade trying to avoid being noticed by her own father. She couldn’t remember most of it anyway.
On the other hand, even though she didn’t enjoy the last tshe went to the town with Ruby and the others, that one experience couldn’t diminish her excitement for this trip with the King at all.
Not to mention, she felt like she could breathe freely again after a long tas the palace felt very suffocating to her.
The people there, their words, even their looks always made her feel uncomfortable. Not to mention the judgmental behavior of a few of them.
So finally being able to get away from the palace, even for a few days, left her reeling with excitement.
Along the way, she kept asking the King the places they touched upon happily while Micah was more than happy to accommodate her.
Their journey mostly went uneventful until they were just a few hours away from their destination.
2/3 Chapter 48 It was the second day of the journey and they just restarted after taking a small break.
Since they just ate, Abby felt a little sleepy while the King was busy reading sreports.
However, half an hour later, just as Abby was about to fall asleep, the girl felt her sleepiness flying out of the carriage’s window as she heard loud growls right outside the carriage, while Micah beside her stiffened visibly.
“ROGUES!” One of the warriors shouted from the outside and Abby felt her heart stop beating.
