His Sweet Little Mate

Much to everyone's chagrin, Abby took a really long time to respond to Nadia's treatment. But by some miracle, after a day of falling unconscious, the woman finally started to show some progress. "Nadia, her wound finally stopped bleeding." Efrem couldn't believe her eyes as she woke up the royal healer, who chose to stay by Abby's side all night long to take care of her.

The woman had fallen asleep at some point of the night, when exhaustion finally caught up to her, just like Alyssa, who perked up hearing Efrem and rushed to her master's side. "Finally!" Nadia exclaimed, her voice a mere whisper.

"You have almost depleted your healing power, but it is worth it." Efrem was also excited as they tended to the queen together.

Abby continued to lose blood, even though at a comparatively slower rate, even after losing her consciousness, which left all of them dreadful. But thanks to her persistence, the bleeding finally stopped.

"Alyssa, did you check on the prince and the others?" Nadia asked the maid, when she remembered the wet nurse she arranged for Abby's baby.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"The baby is doing fine; Reyna is with him. She will keep an eye on the wet nurse." Alyssa wouldn't have been this calm if it was another maid in Reyna's place.

After another day of sleeping, Abby finally came to herself, but she felt so boneless. She felt disoriented, as she slowly took in the room, and it took her quite a while to figure out she was in her own bedroom while Nadia and the others were hovering around her with relieved faces.

But there was something missing, she instinctively caressed her stomach, but it was flat. Then everything came rushing to her. The contractions. Thrashing around in bone crushing pain.

Then drinking Nadia's labor-inducing concoction. And more pain. Finally holding her baby. And of course, the attack. The rage she felt at the helplessness.

She recalled burning those beasts before one of them did a number on her and stabbed her shoulder. The last thing she remembered was her baby crying while she fought the darkness that consumed her whole.

"My baby," she asked, suddenly remembering she couldn't see her baby in the room. "No... no... My baby, where is he?"

Abby almost turned hysterical, until Nadia and the others feared she would tear her wound open, as they tried to calm her down. "Alyssa, go and get Reyna to bring the baby here."

Nadia and Efrem then spent the next few minutes whispering soothing words where Abby looked like she couldn't relax until she saw her baby with her own eyes.

She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if something happened to her baby. Thankfully, Alyssa returned quickly with a bundle in her hands.

"The prince is sleeping, My Queen." Alyssa told her master as she passed the baby to her finally.

Only when she felt her baby's warmth, albeit through the blanket wrapped around him, was Abby finally able to breathe normally, as she carefully checked his small face for any form of distress.

Tears welled up in her eyes, when the baby actually looked more serene now that he was by his mother's side. It was really magical, the connection she felt with her baby.

Because of the chaos, she could swear it was the first time for her to look closely at her baby, moreover, the face in her memory was all wrinkly. Even though his skin wasn't too different from her memory, it was now more smooth and supple. Looking at his face, she finally felt it was all worth it. The pain and the suffering. Everything.

In what felt like months, there was finally a genuine smile on her face when she took in every little feature of her little baby, who wasn't really little for a baby, thanks to his father's genes. But she couldn't really tell who he took after; she guessed she would have to give it a few days to actually see the similarities.

She was lying on her good side, admiring his little frame, when the baby cooed, as he came to himself. His little face pinched in pain, and Abby felt her stomach flip.

"Is he hungry?" She thought out loud, when she realized he was clenching his fists too hard.

"My Queen, it's been over two hours since he last drank milk," Reyna, who followed Alyssa to Abby's room, supplied from the side, and then held her hands for the baby. "Let me take him to the wet nurse, hmm?"

However, Abby didn't think so. "I'll feed him myself."

Hearing that, Alyssa and Reyna helped her, so she could breastfeed her baby. Abby felt content just watching how her baby's face slowly but surely turned relaxed, as he drifted back to sleep in no time, his tiny head still burrowed into her bosom. "Nadia, thank you. You really are a godsend." Abby was genuinely grateful for the royal healer, who put her own life on the line to bring Abby back from the edges of hell.

After coaxing her baby to sleep, Abby spent her morning listening to Nadia and the others about what transpired after she fell unconscious.

Even though the beast managed to catch her off guard and injure her, that was all he could do, before her fire did the trick and claimed his life. Abby was comforted to know none of the women had to risk their lives to protect herself or her baby. Speaking of the attack. "Where are the Royal Beta and the Royal Gamma?" She had been awake for at least two hours now, but she still hadn't seen Alan or Dax. "Did something happen to them?"

"No, My Queen. They are fine. They will be here soon." Alyssa answered her vaguely.

However, before either of the men could make it back to her bedroom, Abby saw Mirella return from her search.

"I was about to plan my return to the capital, when I heard about the attack."

From her words, Abby could tell she had a lead, but had to rush back because she had heard about the attack and also the baby.

"This isn't the first time I've been attacked." Abby said, but her words only made the witch curl her lip in fury.

"No, but there were rumors..."

Mirella was interrupted by Abby. "Rumors? Again?"

What kind of rumors made the witch rush back in such a hurry? Whatever they were, Abby knew she wouldn't like to hear them at all.

"It was related to the attack." The witch seemed a bit reluctant to talk about this right now. Not because there were so many people present, of course, but because Abby had just woken up from a deep coma. "Is it really okay to strain yourself right now?" Abby could tell the witch was worried about her condition, but she didn't think so. In her opinion, the more time they wasted, the more complicated the situation would get. So she reassured Mirelled as she coaxed her to spill the beans. "What we never really have is time, Mirella. Every second we waste hesitating would come back to haunt us. So let's not leave a chance for any regrets."

However, when Mirella finally relented and opened her mouth, Abby found herself frowning harder and harder with each second that passed.
