His Sweet Little Mate

Micah felt like he was drowning, the harder he tried to kick back to the surface, the deeper these waters sucked him, until he couldn't see any light around him. It was full of darkness, but the feeling of being underwater stumped any other sense he had. Then all of a sudden, the waters disappeared, the darkness was engulfed by this bright light and he felt like he was floating in the air, but then he was free falling. He couldn't see any ground beneath him, but he could feel it approaching him at lightning speed, and right before he could feel the impact, he was snapped back to reality.

Pain.

It was his first thought, as feeling returned to his limbs. The firmer he grasped his bearings, the harsher the pain slicing through his frame felt.

But the odd thing was, he could feel two types of pain, one was his own and the other belonged to someone else, only he felt it deep in his heart as if he was going through it as well. They were equally bone crushing, and his mind couldn't catch up with his body at all. He couldn't understand what was going on with him, however, a few rapid beats later, his sight came back and he saw Abby. His mate.

"Abby?!" He tried to call her name, but no sound came out. He wanted to ask her what was happening and why they were surrounded by fire. She was frowning so hard as if she was in pain. Since she was right before him, out of instinct, he tried to reach for her. And how gobsmacked he was when he finally realized what was causing her such heartrending pain. He quickly retracted his claws, and immediately pulled her into his arms as the woman he loved crumbled to the ground. "Abby!" Micah's voice finally broke past his throat and he saw the girl actually smile at him, the person who had hurt her.

"You are back!" Abby breathed through the pain. Her whole body was aching, as if she had been run over by a dozen horse carriages. Everything ached, her arms, her legs, even her head.

First, Micah bit her and then he stabbed her. She lost so much blood from her shoulder wound after barely recovering from the bite wound from Micah, and to make things worse, Micah actually stabbed the same shoulder that that warrior stabbed right after she gave birth to Arlo.

She had also been using so much of her energy to keep this wall of fire burning. However, seeing Micah finally come back to his senses, the smile on her lips only deepened with each second that passed.

"You are back." She smiled, her eyes full of love and longing. "Everything's going to be okay. I can't believe my mark actually worked!"

"You have marked me?" Micah reached for his neck as he supported her body with a single arm and felt the bite mark there. Now he understood why he could feel two different pains. The other belonged to her. Because of the mutual marking, they could feel each other's emotions vividly.

He did a quick scouring around him and only chaos greeted him. "What actually happened?"

Micah didn't know how he ended up back in the palace, fighting his own people until he hurt Abby this badly, however, before Abby could explain how Calpin possessed him using some ancient dark magic, Micah almost buckled over, as gut wrenching pain racked his frame and black smoke emanated from his body.

"That's Calpin." Abby shouted as she urged Micah to back away from the smoke. "Micah, step back from him. He ensorcelled you."

As Micah pulled Abby away, they both watched the smoke take the shape of a human form as it vibrated unstably in place for a moment.

Abby realized Calpin couldn't stay stable without a body, a suitable vessel, to contain his power and sure enough, the smoke moved toward Micah, as if it wanted to enter him again.

"Micah, careful. Don't let the smoke enter you again." Abby herself hurled fireballs at the tiny cloud of black smoke as it vibrated violently. She also made sure to burn her fire more fiercely.

The brighter her fire burned, the hotter the very air they breathed became. And the more Abby's body ached. However, she couldn't stop it. If she did, Calpin would escape.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The reason she created this wall of fire was to hold down Calpin inside Micah. Her fire, the magic that ran in her blood was the only one thing that could stop this dark magic user and she made use of that fact.

Calpin was someone that shouldn't be left to wander freely in this realm, that was why the great witch took it upon herself to capture him and then guarded his prison, that cave, closely. After her, her descendants took that role.

But he managed to escape and caused so much destruction. In that case, she might as well seal him again and what was more effective than her fire magic power?

Yes, this wall of fire was a barrier, one powerful enough to contain Calpin, that was why he could not break free until now. And Abby would keep it that way until he met his end, even if she had to lose her life today.

On the other hand, Micah heeded her word and stayed away from the smoke, however, realizing he couldn't get Micah's body back, Calpin changed his target and entered a dead warrior's beast.

This time, Micah rushed forward and fought with the dead beast controlled by the smoke that was Calpin's consciousness. The fight was quite brutal as Micah shifted into his beast as he battled it out with the beast under Calpin's control. Calpin threw blows and spells in quick succession to fight off both of them, but Abby had Micah's back as she assisted him using her own fireballs to deflect Calpin's spells.
