His Sweet Little Mate

Between explaining what happened and talking Abby through her denial, Mirella couldn't pay attention to the changes in their surroundings. Abby was clearly in a bad place right now that it hurt to even look at her holding back herself from falling apart.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

However, if this continued, Abby would also get hurt and that wasn't an outcome she could afford with Calpin running amok out there.

But when she steeled herself and decided to make Abby see the reality, she was completely caught off guard seeing the queen stiffen before her. "Abby, what..." "Grrrhhhh!"

Twin growls filled the air before she could ask Abby what happened until she couldn't breathe, and seeking the source of the sound left her face to face with two huge beasts.

The witch was stunned for a moment, suddenly hyper aware of the animosity emanating from the creatures. Their auras radiated killing intent and it left her heart skittering. "Abby!" The witch lunged to her feet, placing herself in between the threat before her and the pregnant woman behind, just as the queen's personal maids huddled behind their master. "My Queen!"

The three of them stood frozen around Abby, who was still shocked to her core.

"What is happening?" The question left Abby's lips unconsciously as the wolves prowled in place, with their gazes locked on her, as if they were seeking an opportunity to finish her off. Their murderous intention and their behavior provided the witch with enough details to amp up her magic to defend Abby, who was clearly having a hard time navigating her own thoughts.

Abby, being heavily pregnant at six months, instinctively covered her stomach to protect the baby in her womb. It would be hard for her to tap into her power in time if the two beasts attacked them at once. "Who are you?" Mirella snapped her fingers and immediately, flames wreathed her forearms, from elbows to fingertips, as she took a fighting stance.

There was no response from the beasts apart from this vicious snarling that made Abby's blood curdle at the realization as Alyssa and Reyna breathed out in mortification.

"They are royal warriors!"

"Oh my God!" Abby couldn't believe her eyes.

The air carried over a faint scent of blood, and the queen felt her whole being tremble at the thought of the violence unleashed outside her bedroom.

The snarls echoing through the corridors reached her ears as distant growls and she didn't need to go out there to see what was actually happening.

This was an ambush! And with the royal warriors in the picture, it was not hard to guess who was behind this. But how could he be this brash, until he couldn't even care about the consequences of his actions? Did Arthur lose his mind? Was he in so much hurry to get rid of her that he couldn't even stop to think that she was carrying Micah's baby?

The way those two beasts snarled in craze just at the sight of her told her just how much Arthur hated her. But she wouldn't bow down in the face of danger. She couldn't let him have his way.

"Do you even understand what you are doing?" She shouted at the two wolves in exasperation.

Her words prompted Alyssa and Reyna to shift into their beasts, but they were too small because of their omega origin.

The witch couldn't understand their reactions, but it wasn't hard to connect the dots when she tried to feel beyond the walls and couldn't sense the guards that were posted outside Abby's door. How could this be? Was this what she was thinking? They dared to attack the queen right in her bedroom?

"Who sent you here?"

Only Abby didn't need an answer to that question, because only one person felt the need to get rid of her, and that was none other than the former king, Sir Arthur.

And hearing Mirella this time, one of the guards took a chance and dared to pounce on the witch, but the woman wasn't having none of it.

She immediately set the paws of the grayish brown beast, which effectively stopped the two beasts in their tracks, but the smoke and the fur burning smell that filled the air made Abby feel suffocated.

Even though this bedroom was equipped with large enough windows until beasts could jump in through them, only one window was open while even the door was tightly shut.

So if Mirella kept using her fire magic, things would turn even more uncomfortable for Abby, who also seemed to understand this.

"You need to calm down," Abby said, realizing making these warriors understand the truth that they were being used was necessary now. "You are being used."

This only made the two beasts growl at her even more viciously, but Abby couldn't risk it. Even though Mirella might be able to fight them with Alyssa and Reyna's assistance, three women were no match to two male shifters, let alone royal warriors who practically spent their lives on the training grounds.

"Don't you understand? This is clearly a coup against me, your queen!" Abby looked them in the eyes as she tried to de- escalate the situation, while hoping to buy enough time for Alan or Dax to show up. "The person behind the scenes wants to claim the throne to himself. Don't fall into his schemes."

Abby tried to explain why she said what she said, trying to stall for time. Since she guessed who their instigator was, it came easily for her to raise points that could get her point across.

"No matter what they tried to project onto me or my capabilities, I have never given an opportunity for any of you to doubt myself." Abby caressed her stomach while she told them this, hoping to snag their attention to the fact that she was still carrying the baby of their king.

But it turned out to be a wrong move, because this suddenly triggered the two beasts, who actually let out snarls that sounded like battle cries, before pouncing forward to attack the four women crazily.

"Abby, get behind Alyssa and Reyna!" Mirella, who had been observing the two beasts closely, pushed the tea table out of their way and burnt it to use as a shield of protection, which gave Abby enough time to scramble around the sofa and settle against the wall beside it, while her maids came to stand before her.

While this move indeed put considerable distance between the beasts and Abby, now she was also trapped in her place. If Mirella failed to hold them back, death would be the only thing waiting for her and her baby.

Arthur planned really well, he even sent royal warriors who still believed in those nasty rumors that spread around all those months ago to cut her all ways out. If she managed to come alive out of this, he would face her wrath.

On the other hand, Mirella tried everything in her power to restrict the beasts from advancing as she focused on battling them both out at the same time.

"Damn it!" The witch cursed when Alyssa's beast got clawed as fresh blood oozed out of her neck.

Just as she decided to burn them both, two beasts rushed into the room after knocking down the door.

"Alan, Dax!" Abby sighed in relief.
