Chapter 18

Impudence?

Alpha James didn’t understand why the King was suddenly furious at himself. However, when he recalled that he had been standing there like a statue from the moment he arrived at the scene without greeting the king and showing him the respect he deserved, the Alpha immediately. apologized.

“My King, I was careless just now. I would never disrespect you on purpose. I was only shocked.” Alpha James couldn’t continue anymore when the King wouldn’t stop suppressing his beast.

Alpha James gathered that the King was real mad then, only he didn’t know whom to blame for this.

But Micah didn’t leave him in suspense for long. “Alpha James, before coming here, I didn’t take you for someone so incompetent,” Micah said word by word.

Alpha James was petrified at his words, he couldn’t understand this turn of events at all. But he wasn’t one to escalate a situation which was unfavorable to himself and increase problems. So, he immediately said, “My King, I humbly request you to please let your humble subject know his misgivings. I’ll definitely correct myself and make it up to you.”

“Do you really not know?” Micah didn’t feel the need to explain things to this ignorant alpha. He was so ignorant he let a pack member, a woman at that, be abused for so long. And when he remembered that Abby had been suffering from a young age of nine, Micah couldn’t help the urge to exact revenge.

Alpha James immediately felt like he missed something. He fell silent as he pondered over the King’s words. And it didn’t take long for him to realize the crux of the issue.

His beta…

The Alpha knew how meticulous he had been from the moment the King arrived to their pack. He made sure everything was up to if not over the standard, so that the sovereign wouldn’t be offended at any point.

The only thing the King could possibly be angry about should be Abby, his newly found mate’s life here. When the King asked him about his mate, he was really calm that the Alpha didn’t think Micah would have such a strong reaction like this, though he wasn’t completely ignorant like his stupid beta, as he thought Micah would react in some way.

Shifters are protective in nature, possessive even. Had he been in the King’s shoes, he wouldn’t have been so calm, for mates were really important to shifters. So, he could only imagine how angry the King was to find his mate after so long only to learn how wrongly she had been treated all her life.

Yes, he knew what was happening and never stopped Ryan. But he couldn’t be calm anymore when the King made this his problem until he didn’t hesitate to humiliate his beta like this. And now, even Alpha james was implicated until he was being held accountable for Ryan’s wrong doings

“My King, my beta is insensible,” Alpha James started, testing the waters. Sure enough, Micah’s eyes hardened as his grip around Abby’s waist tightened a tiny bit. “He should have been…”
