Chapter 22
Shifters were born with remarkable healing abilities, it was almost impossible for them to bear marks left by wounds, let alone scars. While the scars on Abby’s body actually extended from the left side of her neck to her left shoulder, further spanning to her back, covering a large amount of
skin on her back.
Any shifter who saw it could only imagine the severity of her wounds until it left such a huge mark.
Abby’s scars had always been a sour spot for her. That was also why she didn’t want the maids sent by Micah to serve her on a personal level. Only they wouldn’t listen to her no matter what she said and here she was, trembling out of embarrassment at their reactions seeing her scars…
“We are really sorry, we were just startled for a sec….” Alyssa started right after a terrified scream left her lips.
Reyna recovered almost immediately as well… But the damage was already done.
Abby couldn’t help but recall all those times people saw her as a freak, a monster, for bearing these scars. Their words, their faces, some filled with horror while others with disgust, all hit her so hard. the girl started shaking.
Her head started to hurt really badly while the two maids continued to apologize to her profusely.
However, not even two minutes later, she heard them stutter before one of them addressed the
King.
Abby immediately stiffened. Tension rolled off her body as tears streamed down her face when Micah finally approached her and rearranged her clothes.
“It’s okay, little one,” Micah said in an apologetic tone. He was genuinely concerned about her.
However, Abby could only hear his sympathy for her and her heart broke even more as she sobbed softly. She wasn’t ready for him to see her like this. She knew she couldn’t hide it forever, but she wanted to, at least, mentally prepare herself first…
“You saw everything?” Abby couldn’t stop the question, knowing fully well it was a stupid one.
Of course, he saw her. In broad daylight.
And the way she asked the question was so heart wrenching, Micah immediately felt rage bubbling inside his chest. Only it was directed at himself, as he had been too careless.
“Little one…” Micah started when he saw her crying hard as she shook in his arms.
She was sobbing so much he feared she would start hiccuping after choking on her own tears. She was beyond inconsolable and Micah felt his heart squeeze at the sight.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think this through first,” Micah said, pressing his lips to her forehead before bending down to carry her out of the bathroom. Abby immediately hugged his neck and snuggled closer to him as she buried her face in his shoulder.

Chapter 22
The girl couldn’t help remembering the fact how her life had been turned upside down in just twenty four hours until she found herself in this strange place, far away from her pack, the only place she had
ever known in her life. Now, she was all alone here, surrounded by strangers.
Micah carried her to the bed and gently laid her down before joining her, trying to console her by hugging her tightly.
Meanwhile, Abby couldn’t stop crying for a long time, until she ended up crying herself to sleep in
Micah’s arms.
All that time, Micah patiently patted her back while whispering how he didn’t find her scars bothering at all. But it was impossible to replace a decade long pain with a few words of reassurance. Micah knew that too, thus he decided to prove it to her through his actions.
By the time Abby woke up with a splitting headache, it was already late in the evening. She couldn’t find Micah anywhere in their room, but was greeted with two new maids who were standing just beside the door holding a tray each.
“Good evening, Lady Abby,” both of them said in unison before one of them continued to talk further.
“We brought food and drinks,” the woman said before falling completely silent to wait for Abby’s
answer.
Meanwhile, Abby, who was still disoriented from sleep, took a really long time to process their
words.
But then, where were Alyssa and Reyna?
Abby once again waited for Micah to return, forcing herself to stay awake. But the King had to deal with so many things, he could only return really well into the night.
“You are still awake?” Micah asked her, frowning. The girl was tired but wouldn’t rest on time. He didn’t like this at all. She might worsen her health.
Abby, who was struggling not to doze off, immediately stood upright seeing him enter this room. Their room.
“I am waiting for you,” Abby answered in a voice so soft, Micah doubted if she was even fully awake.
However, a moment later, when Abby’s answer finally registered in his mind, Micah couldn’t help but smile. Having someone to wait for yourself to come back was an all consuming feeling after all.
He walked over to her and grabbed her hand to pull her to the bed. “You don’t have to wait for me to come. I would prefer you to sleep more. You look tired,” Micah told her, gently pushing her to the bed until she sat on the side of the bed.
“I wanted to,” Abby blurted out as the King settled beside her on the bed.

And the girl was rewarded with a beautiful smile from the King, only it dropped a tad too fast. Abby felt disappointed she didn’t look more clearly just now.
“I have something to say to you,” Micah said, seemingly remembering something in the next
second.
“Okay, Abby immediately perked up her ears to listen to him carefully.
But what the King said in the next moment left her so shocked she didn’t even dare breathe too loudly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“They decided it was best for us to have our mating ceremony as soon as possible,” Micah said.
