His Sweet Little Mate

The battle between Calpin and Micah was too fierce but Abby held on, because her mate needed her. However, she couldn't burn that bastard to death as she wished once he got out of Micah's body. After he entered the warrior's corpse, even if Abby tried to burn him crisp until it turned into dust, the black smoke would simply change the host and continue to fight them both.

At this point, she exhausted almost all of her energy and was relying on the last bits and pieces, driven by adrenaline and sheer willpower, she focused on keeping her fire burning instead.

On the other hand, Micah killed Calpin a couple of times, but realized he couldn't be killed like this. If the dark smoke found a way to escape the corpse, it just found another dead body to attack him.

Just then he thought of something and cut Calpin's body into five pieces, as he tore all his limbs which left him immobilized. With just its head attached to the corpse's upper body, Calpin had no way to continue to brawl with him physically.

On the other hand, having been possessing far too many corpses in one go, the dark sorcerer's power dwindled quite effectively. He couldn't cast lethal spells to take the king down.

Micah didn't expect his idea to work, but he knew it was only temporary. Once Clapin found a way to kill the corpse a second time or healed himself by reattaching his severed limbs, he would be able to fight back. Again. However, before he could do anything, Micah saw the fire around them disappear suddenly. Out of instinct, he turned toward his mate, and the sight that greeted him left his heart skittering.

"Abby! Wake up!!" Micah felt his whole being rattle with despair, as his mate lost consciousness, and finally fainted from overexhaustion.

Micah held her body, feeling torn between rushing her to immediate care and dealing with Calpin. "Abby!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs, but there was no response from the girl. When the witch and the others rushed to their side, Micah had to harden his heart and leave Abby in their care as he had to deal with Calpin first. However, he had no magic powers to finish what Abby had started, and now that her fire had disappeared, if he let Calpin escape, he would return with twice or even thrice his power.

He had to cut off his chances of ever coming back from his current helpless state, where he couldn't even move his body or use his spells.

"Mirella, come with me."

The witch couldn't believe what Micah was suggesting. "Do you think it will work out?"

"We have to try whatever we can." Micah was determined. They had to seal Calpin one way or the other.

"But my magic isn't potent enough to achieve that." The witch was really skeptical. "Only Abby can do it." Micah knew it too, but his little one was in no position to do that for them. However, he had an idea. "You can use my blood."

"Do you know what you are talking about? It's very dangerous." Mirella didn't know how the king got this idea to use his royal blood to fuel her spell to seal Calpin. "You can lose your life."

"I don't care." Micah couldn't feel Abby on the other end of their bond, it was driving him nuts. He had to end this soon, or else Abby wouldn't make it. "We don't have time. Just do as you're told." Mirella had to grit her teeth, because this was a direct order from the king. Even if she wasn't answerable to him, she had to save Abby, which was a common goal she shared with the king. "Okay!"

Mirella then saw Micah plunge his own claws into his left hand, and she immediately got down to work.

However, between her power and his royal blood, they still fell short to the vicious dark energy of Calpin. Micah lost so much blood, while Mirella almost exhausted her magic, still Calpin wouldn't go into torpor. Mirella clenched her teeth feeling helpless when her body started giving up on her, while Micah was in no better condition. Just when she thought they both were going to lose their lives, Micah did something. Everyone watched in stunned silence as Micah shifted into his beast as he unleashed his superior alpha dominance, it left all of them breathless. Even Mirella felt this discomfort.

But then their attempt succeeded as Calpin was finally put into torpor, but Micah lost consciousness as well.

"Micah!"

"My King!"

Everyone rushed to Micah's side as the fight finally ended since Calpin had been brought down.

Micah remained unconscious for a whole day and night before he finally regained consciousness, but Abby was yet to wake up.

Even though he still needed to rest, Micah insisted on staying by Abby's side. Only after another whole day passed, his mate finally came to her senses.

"Micah!" Abby rasped as she came to herself and found Micah wrapped around her.

The king showered her face with kisses. "Thank heavens!"

"What happened?" Abby's first question wasn't about her own well being or her son. "Did he escape?"

However, Micah didn't tell her anything before she endured a round of examinations by Nadia before being fed until she couldn't eat anymore and drowned in a ton of medicines she had to take to replenish her energy.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

And when he finally told her everything, Abby was a crying mess. "How could you put yourself in danger like that?!"

She felt like beating him but couldn't bear to do so when he was just smiling at her with overflowing love brimming his eyes. "I will go to any lengths where you and our baby are concerned, little one. You and Arlo come first, always. No questions asked" Abby bit her lip as she threw herself into his arms. "The same holds true for me. No one is more important than you two."
