His Sweet Little Mate

Beta Ryan brought Micah to his study room which was on the far end of this long corridor on the second floor. It was quite clear to see that he was buying time for himself, and Micah could tell as much. He just played along to see what these father and daughter duo was trying to achieve.

Ryan offered his own chair to the King before he walked to another chair at his study table. But Micah didn’t take his chair as he chose to stand near a bookshelf behind the table.

“Now, can you start talking?” Micah tried to sound casual as he took in the study room with an

indifferent look on his face. This gave Run the impression that he wasn’t really interested about

what happened all those years ago.

Coupled with the fact that they weren’t summoned to the King yet for treating his destined mate with unkindness, Ryan perceived this as Micah wasn’t really being serious about Abby.

Maybe he could turn the tables in their own favor. Boosted by these thoughts, Ryan continued to stand as well before he started talking.

“Ten years ago, Abby caused a huge fire which burned down our then house, in which, my destined mate who was my daughters‘ mother lost her life,” Ryan then proceeded to tell Micah how insensible Abby was as a child when she played with fire, something she shouldn’t joke with as a nine year

old girl.

Yes, Abby was just a nine year old girl when that horrible event happened and she sustained severe burns. That incident was also why she still had those scars on her otherwise supposed to be clear skin.

According to him, the scars on her back which extended from her neck to her shoulder were a lighter punishment when he thought how she was a bringer of bad luck. It was also since then that they started to treat her as a monster who would bring only bad luck to the people around her.

On the other hand, Micah felt like knocking all of Beta Ryan’s teeth when he didn’t hesitate to wish bad things upon his own child while not being able to show her any kindness. How could a father blame a nine year old girl for a thing so huge as a house being burned down and even the death of her own mother?

Micah didn’t believe for one second that Abby would be that insensible as a child. However, he never once spoke while the opposite person kept rambling this and that, trying beyond possibilities to paint Abby as someone unworthy of himself.

Yes, Ryan didn’t directly say anything like how he felt Abby wasn’t really suited to him, but he wouldn’t stop hinting at how bad Abby was until he had to discipline her on a daily basis.

He didn’t think twice before badmouthing his own daughter, just so he could avoid taking responsibility for what he had done. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Micah listened to what the Beta had to say without interrupting him even for once while Ryan kept bullshitting his way out of the mess he created for himself until the King couldn’t take it anymore and asked him a question at last. “You beat her up and lock her up because of that incident from ten years back?”

Micah controlled his voice as much as he could, so that he wouldn’t give himself away. But he was enraged beyond possibilities that he sounded as if he was growling. Even his beast was restless upon hearing how their mate had been suffering in her own father’s hands for the last ten years.

However, Ryan, who was preoccupied with his storytelling, didn’t realize the change in the King’s tone as he subconsciously thought the King was just asking a normal question.

“Yes, she is insensible and a monster, who only brings bad luck.” Ryan blurted out, still thinking the King was very cool about everything he said thus far.

There was another reason for Ryan’s ignorance regarding this matter….

He already planned with Hanna and asked her to deal with Abby. Hanna said she would mind–link him as soon as she got information out of Abby’s mouth. As he didn’t get any updates from his obedient elder daughter, Ryan believed they almost escaped this problem unscathed.

They just had to make sure that Abby wouldn’t spoil their plan and bring them trouble again…

Before that, he had to make the King believe his actions were justifiable. But how?

Ryan immediately thought of projecting Hanna in a good light. If he could change Micah’s mind and convince him to take Hanna as his chosen mate and reject Abby, all his problems would be solved with a single move.

“My elder daughter is just a year older than her, but she is very different from Abby Ryan immediately started paising Hanna to the moon and back, saying Hanna was everything that Abby could never dream of becoming. She was both sensible and beautiful with a heart of gold. A perfect mate any male shifter could ask for.

He even dared to suggest how good of a queen she would become if only she were the King’s actual destined mate. And then proceeded to sigh in disappointment that Micah actually got Abby as his

male.

Micah was on the verge of losing his control when he heard this beta tried to push his own daughter into his arms while discrediting his other daughter. It was truly a disgusting sight.

Fortunately for Ryan, one of Micah’s personal warriors chose to interrupt them at that moment. He was one of the few warriors who followed him to the Beta’s study room. The warrior hastily walked toward Micah before whispering something into his ear.

As soon as the warrior finished speaking. Ryan could see how the air around Micah changed so much until he looked unapproachable. Only Ryan couldn’t place the reason why the King looked

like he was ready to tear apart anything that carne in his way at that instant as he stormed out of

this room.
