His Sweet Little Mate

Just as Abby lifted her hand to knock on the door, Mirella’s clear voice reached her ears as the door swung open from inside, leaving her stunned for a moment.

“You didn’t disappoint me,” the witch uttered, sounding too casual as if she had long expected her

visit.

The moment the door fully opened, Abby could see her sitting at the same table they sat at the day Abby came to consult her for the first time.

The girl took long strides to the said table as she dropped into the chair across from the witch.

“I know you have some questions,” Mirella prompted when Abby didn’t say anything even after she

entered the hut as the door closed behind her.

Hearing this, Abby didn’t have any doubts that Mirella had been indeed waiting for her.

Without wasting any more time, the girl immediately dived into the topic that was bothering her the most. “Do you know anyone named Calpin?”

“Calpin?” Mirella repeated after Abby as she raised a brow at her.

“My mother told me about him,” she elaborated a little, trying to make Mirella understand why she was hung up on this bedtime story her mother told her.

She explained how Riley implicitly warned her about this man time and again.

After she was done talking, Abby didn’t notice how she held her own breath as Mirella wouldn’t say anything but kept staring at her.

“So?” Abby started slowly. “Was it just a lullaby with no particular meaning?” She asked Mirella out loud when she couldn’t tolerate the suspense anymore.

And how surprised she was when the witch finally opened her mouth. “The man in your mother’s bedtime stories is a real person.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“A real person?” Abby couldn’t help but repeat after her.

She thought about it a lot and was mentally prepared for both possible outcomes. One being Riley, Abby’s mother, just choosing a random yet single name for the bad guy in all her lullabies.

The second being her mother was talking about a real dark wizard who stopped at nothing to fulfill his own greed for power.

Still, when the witch confirmed that the person named Calpin was real, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

On the other hand, the witch still had this nonchalant expression on her face as she proceeded to

answer Abby’s earlier question. “Yes, he is a dark wizard.”

“A dark wizard?” Abby couldn’t help but gasp out loud as Mirella began to clear her doubts about Calpin one by one.

Apparently, what her mother told was true and not some just made up story like she half expected

it to be.

There was indeed someone named Calpin in the past. He was a magic user, no, a dark magic user to be precise.

He resorted to all kinds of evil things just to become the most powerful being in this realm.

More or less, the same as what her mother warned her of.

Only Mirella didn’t feel the need to hold back anything at all like Riley as she poured out everything she knew about him when Abby asked her to.

“So what happened to him?” Abby couldn’t help but ask this when she thought about the person who was instigating those rogues to attack in different parts of this kingdom.

Her mother told her he was subdued by a witch before she trapped him inside a cave and started guarding it, so he wouldn’t be able to come outside.

It was a perfect bedtime story and seemed as if her mother changed some parts to accommodate a ten year old kid like her.

But she felt the need to confirm every single part she remembered about that dark magic user.

With this thought, Abby explained the rest of the things she could recall about Calpin from her mother’s stories to Mirella.

“The part of him being locked up in a cave wasn’t made up either,” the witch declared, sounding nonchalant yet again.

The more Abby listened, the more she could confirm that the person Riley talked about was real and dangerous even.

That man literally stopped at nothing to get what he wanted until he had to be detained in a cave like a wild beast.

He seemed really dangerous and Abby couldn’t help but think about the unknown enemy Micah was fighting right now.

But she couldn’t decide if she should divulge the things Micah found out from his investigation about the other Calpin in front of Mirella when she sounded too casual like this.

After all, that piece of information seemed a little confidential and she couldn’t reveal it just like

that

However, Mirella wasn’t done telling her part as she continued to recount everything she knew about Calpin.

“Not many people knew about this dark magic user,” the witch said, grabbing Abby’s wandering off attention again.

Because magic users were not really common in this realm until one could only find one or two witches in this whole kingdom, not many people knew how Calpin wreaked havoc in his huns for

power.

Chancing upon even one witch in one’s lifetime was very rare.

Hearing this, Abby recalled that her mother also told her this part.

She also said only witches knew about Calpin as the legend was only passed down to people in their circle, who were none other than witches.

Just like the tradition of guarding Calpin’s cave was the sole responsibility of the

Iches from the next generations of the witch who subdued that dark magic user. Which was also why Hanna, her older sister, didn’t know anything about it.

After hearing the story, Abby fell into a dilemma. If both were the same person, then it was impossible for this dark magic user to pull strings from inside the cave…

Abby couldn’t believe she spent the whole day at the witch’s hut talking about this and that.

So when her maids knocked on the door and informed her that it was already evening and she missed lunch, the girl immediately bade farewell to Mirella, hoping that Micah would word to her by now.

The last time the rogues attacked them, while they were on their way to the Red River pack, it didn’t take the King and his warriors too long to subdue them..

Thinking up to this, Abby urged Alyssa and Reyna to rush the coachman to move the carriage faster and before twenty minutes could pass, she found herself running to their new guest room.

But there was no news from the Black Claw pack yet, even so Abby didn’t let it get to her head.

Since the distance between the two packs was too huge, even though they were practically neighboring territories, they were facing some problems communicating with each other effectively.

Not to mention they had gone incognito right now and had fewer people to spare, just to pass

casual news.

She stayed awake until midnight for any possible news, but after that, because of lack of sleep the previous night, she fell asleep shortly after Reyna left to sleep while Alyssa stayed behind to keep her company

16:44 Fri, 8 Mar RGB.

However, her sleep wasn’t peaceful as she tossed and turned on the bed all night. And when a soft yet rhythmic knocking reached her ears early in the morning, she woke up in an instant.

She dashed to the door in hopes Micah was back.

Only she couldn’t see Micah, safe and well, while a royal warrior could be seen waiting for her outside their room.

“My lady, the King sent a word for you,” the warrior said before presenting her a small letter.

After dropping the letter in Reyna’s hands, who seemed to have replaced Alyssa early in the morning, the guard left swiftly, but not before bowing to his future queen once again.

Once Abby stepped back into the room, she immediately grabbed the missive from Reyna’s and skimmed through it in seconds.

It seemed Micah couldn’t solve the problem in the Black Claw pack yet. In the letter, he told her he would be back in a day or two.

Reading it, Abby couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

The problem they thought would be resolved in one day extended to two days….

Now, Micah said it would take one or two more days….

Abby had a bad feeling about this….

Just how huge was the attack this time that they were being held back for days like this?

Abby got a vague idea the next day when there was still no news from the King or his warriors… And when they did receive another piece of news, it was anything but good.

She was taking a stroll in the back garden when she saw a couple of warriors rushing to the Alpha’s room, looking like they had important news to deliver.

Abby followed them to the Alpha’s study with her maids in tow and the words that left the warrior’s lips knocked the air out of her lungs.

On the third day of Micah’s impromptu departure, Alpha Samuel received a missive which read the pack Micah in right now was under attack for the third consecutive day.

Even though there were several attacks during the past two days, there hadn’t been any news of the royal warriors dying in the fights.

But this evening, they said two royal warriors lost their lives during the fight with the rogues while trying to save the normal yet innocent pack members of the Black Claw pack.

The pack was being literally swarmed by the rogues… Meaning, the King’s location would be compromised in no time if they hadn’t already discovered it.
