"Queen Abby!!!" Nadia's heart almost stopped beating when she saw the girl faint all of a sudden, but thanks to
the royal gamma, she didn't end up falling face first. "Royal gamma Dax, quick, lay her on the bed!" Alpha
Samuel urged Dax as he recovered from the shock finally.
Immediately, the royal healer and the others busied themselves with diagnosis of Micah and Abby.
"Royal healer Nadia, I'll check on the Queen, you should focus on the King," Gloria, the head healer of the Red
River pack, told Nadia as she walked over to Abby's side.
Along with Nadia, there was also the healer of the red river pack. Alpha Samuel thought the sas Alan and
urged his own pack's healer to make a trip down to this pack. But the healer of the Silver Moon pack wasn't
summoned.
Even Alpha James still didn't know that the king and queen actually went missing. Just because they managed to
bring them back, neither Dax nor Samuel were naive enough to let their guards down.
Every little slip up on their part might cost them dearly, and none of them were ready to bear consequences if
things went south again. They already had enough on their plates.
"What happened to the King?" Dax asked Nadia as soon as she stood up with this deep frown on her face.
"His healing ability has slowed down for sreason. I'll treat him for the blood loss first," Nadia decided, feeling
she would be able to tell the problem once the main issue, which seemed to be the cause of the unusual pale
complexion of the king, had been dealt with.
"What about Queen Abby?" Samuel asked Gloria, when he saw his pack's healer taking too long.
"She seemed to have over exhausted herself again, but it wasn't as serious as the last time," Gloria replied, as
she proceeded to take her pulse next.
The last tshe meant, was when Calpin drove her to the point where her power back lashed, and she fell
unconscious for several days in a row.
"At least, she wasn't seriously injured..." Alpha Samuel caught himself when he saw this shocked expression on
the head healer's face. "This is bad..." Gloria looked at Nadia. "She is pregnant."
"It's good news, what's bad about it?" The royal gamma didn't understand her words at all, while Nadia looked
equally mortified as Gloria.
The royal healer swiftly rounded the bed to check on the queen. "She is indeed expecting."
Even Alpha Samuel was confused by their reactions now, but then their expressions turned grim when the
healers took turns to explain how the queen's current condition might not be ideal for the growing baby in her
stomach.
"So you are saying that her body is too weak, and the pregnancy might be unstable?" Dax's stomach sank.
But then Nadia seemed to have remembered something. "But the fetus has the royal bloodline, so the baby
would be okay as long as the queen recovers fast enough."
Hearing this, the tense people that were holding their breaths seemed to have found a small reprieve.
"It still depends on her waking up quickly, then?" Dax lamented as his eyes landed on Micah then. "They
shouldn't be disturbed while recuperating.”
Nadia nodded her head in agreement. "But we can't move them recklessly now."

"I know, but it will be hard to keep the matter of them getting injured under wraps for too long." The royal
gamma didn't dare to imagine the ruckus it would cause in the capital city.
"It's no use bringing the unconscious king back to the capital, royal gamma." The alpha reminded Dax. So that
left them with only one best course of action.
Dax and Samuel seemed to have cto a tacit understanding about this matter before the royal gamma spoke
again. “No one should know about the pregnancy."
Apart from them both, only Nadia and Gloria were present in this room, even Alyssa was stopped outside the
door by the guards when she crunning after learning that Abby was back.
And upon understanding the gravity of the situation, the two healers immediately gave their word to be quiet
about the whole situation.
"No matter what you need, just let one of us know, you will have everything you need to save their lives."
Three lives were at stake now, none of them willing to gamble their luck in such a situation. And after thinking it
through, they decided it would be better to keep Micah and Abby in two different rooms to help their healing
process.
Only after Abby was shifted to the room next door was her personal maid finally able to go and tend to her now
unconscious master.
"Alyssa, during these days, you should always be alert," Gloria told her as she handed her a small bowl of
medicinal herbs, so that the girl could feed her queen.
She treated Abby along with Nadia last tin the Red River pack, so she was more or less capable of taking
care of the queen alone, while Dax thought it would be best for the royal healer to concentrate on Micah.
That way both of them could be well taken care of at the stime.
"This smells a bit different from the one you gave her before." Alyssa's sharp nose detected this small difference.
"I just added more effective herbs, there is nothing wrong with your master."
Since they agreed to keep the news about her pregnancy among just the four of them, Gloria didn't tell Alyssa
either, but she still could see how much she cared for her master.
The girl was scared that Abby's condition was way worse than they were letting on when she realized the
medicine seemed different. Only with the healer's reassurance, she could finally concentrate on her job properly
again.
Hob AAA
Two days passed since they were brought back, meaning it had been four days since they went missing and also
Micah lost consciousness.
Just when Dax felt like going crazy evading everyone at the pack that kept pestering about the king's current
condition, there was finally ssignificant improvement in Micah's condition.
"He will probably wake up by tomorrow evening!" Nadia declared on the third day morning.
"Has his healing ability recovered?" Dax looked hopeful for the first tin days, and her answer was akin to
pouring honey in his ears.
"es."
"Thank heavens! It's high the is back on his feet!"
"And it's tyou rest a bit." Nadia pointed at his haggard face.
"I've been sleeping enough. Why would | lose sleep when you are here to save
tuation?"
But Nadia cut him off. "Peacefully."
When she put it like that Dax couldn't say anything, because the last few days, sleep meant just closing his eyes,
as he found it difficult to properly rest with Micah and Abby unconscious like this. Along with the healers, he had
been too alert just in case their conditions worsened. But he wouldn't admit he was overly worried about things.
That was not his style at all.
"Okay, you win, but I'm crashing on the couch right here, you can't makeleave him alone."
Dax could only shrug his shoulders when the only response he got was an indescribable glare, as if the healer
couldn't bother with his .
That couch had been his temporary residence since she started treating Micah in this room.
However, the gamma didn't realize how exhausted he was until he shut his eyes, finally letting the peace Nadia
mentioned seep into his thoughts, because he was out cold by the the could let his face fully relax from his
huge grin.
About ten hours later, the royal gamma stretched on the couch, which squeaked under his weight. He looked at
his surroundings, but he was alone.
Maybe he could sleep smore...
Wait, why am | alone? Where is Micah?
"Micah, Micah!" He slipped up, and didn't use his title, just calling out his nrudely as he leaped to the bed
which was now in a disarray. "Royal gamma?" Dax almost jumped out of his skin when he heard someone call his
name, in his panic, the voice sounded rather eerie. But he couldn't help scowling when he saw that it was just a
warrior.
"Where is the King?" He stomped to the door where the warrior was standing, looking at him a little puzzled.
"He is next door," the warrior answered, and before he could deliver the message, the gamma ran out. "Alpha
Samuel called you..."
The warrior's voice trailed off when he saw that the gamma actually went next door, where the king was.
So he just returned to his post. He was a warrior of the Red River pack. Alpha Samuel mindlinked him to call him
over.
On the other hand, the royal gamma was huffing and puffing when he opened the door to the guest bedroom,
where they were treating Abby. "King Micah!"
The king had his back to the door, while the others were standing to the side, they seemed to be persuading him
over something.
Both the healers, Alyssa and the alpha were inside the room, while Micah sat on the edge of the bed, beside
Abby.
"My King, it will take a few more days for the Queen to wake up," Nadia said, even though she looked like she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas having a hard tspeaking.
"I'm gonna stay with her..." Micah said, word to word, his voice a bit gruff, maybe because it had been almost
five days since he had talked. Immediately, Dax understood the situation. And what Nadia spoke next only
confirmed his thoughts.
"But you are still recovering too. It will have a negative effect on your own health." The healer's voice turned
smaller and smaller to the end of her sentence. "All of you, leave, I'll talk to the King." Dax finally stepped into
the room, as the other four went out.
But before going out, Alpha Samuel gave him a look while shaking his head, indicating Micah still didn't find out
about Abby's pregnancy.
Micah's face didn't look good at all, and the royal gamma could tell why. Because it was the sdevastated
look Abby had when Micah was unconscious.
"Micah, she'll be fine." Both Dax and Alan were close enough to the king to address him by his name, but they
would only do it in private. "She just needed to rest. The healers filled you in, right? She was just over
exhausted."
"You don't get to decide what | need to do."
Meanwhile, Micah seemed to have gotten fed up with the healers nagging for him to rest more and not run
around. So he dismissed the royal gamma the moment he sang the stune.
"But you both need rest. Lots and lots of rest. Just listen to the healers."
"Are you hiding something from me?" Micah suddenly looked up, wrenching his eyes from his little one. "What is
it? Did she get hurt badly?"
He protected her well during the fall, but then, he went ahead and lost consciousness, so couldn't say for sure
what happened before they were brought back.
Alpha Samuel had been very brief with him; he had been unconscious for almost five days, and Abby fainted
after coming back here.
No one knew what happened during the tAbby had to take care of him alone in the woods.
And when he asked about her condition, all they told him was that she was just sleeping. It was getting on his
nerves.
On the other hand, Dax could only give up and cclean in front of the king, when he was reading the
situation in the wrong way.
"No, nothing happened to her highness." Dax reassured his king. "She is pregnant."
"What did you say?" Micah was clearly shocked.
"She is pregnant, Micah. That isis why she needs uninterrupted rest."
Micah also needed to rest now, that was probably why the healers didn't tell him right away. Because Micah
wouldn't agree to stay away from Abby after knowing the truth.
and insist on accompanying Abby, like the the did when she fell unconscious for several days after her battle
with Calpin.
He would neglect his own recovery, and insist on accompanying Abby, just like when he did the last tshe fell «
unconscious for several days after her battle with Calpin.
