Chapter 20

“I’m really a monster, right?” Abby uttered, her face a mirror of horror as she continued, “I killed her… I killed my mother…” Her voice broke toward the end of her sentence.

She was blaming herself for that incident, or more precisely, her father and sister abused her so much that Abby couldn’t even recall how she herself was clearly a victim of that fire accident.

“No, Abby. It was just an accident. Wrong time, wrong person, wrong place and wrong everything else,” Micah stressed each and every word, but Abby was so lost in her own misery and self blaming parade that she wouldn’t stop shaking.

“No, My King, it was because I am a bringer of bad luck,” Abby was so caught up in her own fear of being abandoned by the one person who stood up for her in so long she couldn’t think straight at

all.

“No, my sweet little one, you were not at fault. You were a victim yourself,” Micah didn’t have any other choice but to hold her face with both of his hands so she would only look at himself when he told her that.

She was a victim but her cunt of a father made her believe otherwise. She suffered at least a few third degree burns from her neck to her left shoulder for crying out loud. At the tender age of nine no less. And it left a huge fucking scar when she was a shifter. While shifters were known for their remarkable healing abilities.

“But I killed my mother…” Abby couldn’t help but cry. Her father and sister told her that she killed her mother for ten years almost on a daily basis that it engraved deeply in her mind.

“Yes, she died. But it was not because of you…. even if it was, it wasn’t enough of an excuse for your father and sister to hurt you. For ten years at that,” Micah patiently coaxed Abby to make her understand that what Ryan did was unacceptable.

As her father and only living parent, Ryan should have taken her into his arms when she lost her mother. Instead, he chose to pin the blame on herself until she lost her other parent as well.

“He only lost his mate, Abby. But you lost your whole family on that day,” Micah said, wiping her tears. “His punishment was nowhere equal to the amount of abuse he forced upon you. The same goes for your sister.”

Micah was so patient with her, Abby couldn’t help but lean into his touch as she basked in the warmth he provided her. He was nothing but gentle and warm to her from the moment they met last night.

Micah could sigh in relief when Abby gradually stopped self blaming herself and whatnot as her inaudible sobs died down simultaneously,

He could see that she was really tired, but she stubbornly waited for him to return so that she could talk with him. Only the topic of conversation was not something appealing to the King, though he was glad that some weight on Abby’s shoulders would be eased after this conversation.

Meanwhile, Abby was really sleepy and almost dozed off, feeling oddly comfortable in his presence when Micah said something and her body stiffened slightly.
