[Elizabethâs Perspective]
âAnd I promised Margaret that I would take good care of you. How can I let you take care of the patient?â Armstrong changed the topic.
âYes,â Anthony said. âDonât worry about me. You should go back.â
âI can do it.â I tried to speak for myself. I turned my gaze to Armstrong and said, âI want to do something too. Otherwise, Iâll be alone in the house. Margaret and the Lycan King live together. Iâm scared to live alone.â
âYou can move back to my place,â Armstrong said. âYou were the one who wanted to move back then. You can come back anytime you want.â
âYou donât live there. Whatâs the point of me going back?â I couldnât help but mock Armstrong.
Armstrong looked a little angry and said, âI already said that there are a lot of things to do at the Pack, and you canât share the burden with me at all. I told you not to do anything, and youâre still dissatisfied. Iâll get someone to send you back later.â
Anthony sensed that the atmosphere was a little tense and tried to smooth things over. âArmstrong, Elizabeth is actually concerned about the Packâs affairs these days. I even helped her deal with some matters before patrolling. She has improved a lot in this aspect.â
Then Anthony turned his gaze to me and said, âYou donât look too good. I think your eyes are swollen. Have you not rested well these past two days? Elizabeth, go back. Iâm fine here.â
I saw Anthonyâs concerned look and stopped talking.
This matter was decided by them.
My opinions were always easily rejected for a variety of reasons by others and my Mate. I wasnât in charge. And now, even Anthony no longer supported me.
âThen can you send me back?â I asked Armstrong.
Armstrong was gazing blankly at me. I knew that someone was having a Mindlink with him. I waited quietly for his reply.
âWhat did you just say?â Armstrong asked.
âCan you walk me back yourself?â I repeated.
âNo, I have too many things to do,â Armstrong said without hesitation.
Sadly, I was beginning to get used to Armstrongâs contempt for me.
âIâll have Richard drive you back,â Armstrong said.
I didnât even know who Richard was. Iâd never heard of him before. But I nodded and agreed to the arrangement.
I held Anthonyâs gaze for one last moment. I felt the sparks fly where our eyes met. He understood what I was feeling now. I knew it.
When I left through the hospital gate, I was still wearing the same inappropriate clothes I had worn when I came to see Margaret.
I hardly appeared in front of others looking like that. In the past, I would have wanted to die. But I was changing myself. I didnât care about my appearance as much as I used to. I hoped that I would be valued beyond my appearance.
Unfortunately, Armstrong couldnât see any of this. He didnât give me another chance to grow.
By the time I arrived home, I was finally able to shed the tears from my eyes.
I hadnât known until now that other peopleâs looks and so-called approval werenât as important as Iâd once thought. In the past, Iâd thought that with the Alpha as my Mate and becoming Luna, I would be the most eye-catching person in this pack, and I would derive a lot of pleasure from it.
However, that was not the case. Armstrongâs indifference to me defeated me. He shattered my fantasy of being a Luna. I was not suitable for that position.
It was Armstrong himself who pushed me towards Anthony, making Anthony the most important person to me now.
I hated this feeling of being alone. I liked being with a lot of friends.
I reached for my phone to send a message to Margaret. I needed someone to talk to. But I couldnât reach her on her phone at all. There was no reply on Margaretâs social media app either.
She was probably with her Lycan king.
Her Mate.
We both had Mates, but their attitudes towards us were completely different.
Even though Margaret made such a stupid mistake, the Lycan Kingâs feelings for her had not changed. It was obvious from their eyes that they were passionately in love.
Margaret wasnât perfect either, but the Lycan King had a tolerant attitude towards her. As for Armstrong, heâd never given me a chance.
I sighed, tossed the phone aside, and let myself fall onto the bed. I hugged a pillow and stared out the window.
It was very late now. Even though it was almost seven oâclock, the sky was not completely dark. The sun was about to set. It hung low on the horizon, and the clouds took on a red color.
Perhaps I could look for Margaret in her room.
The thought popped into my mind.
I hugged my pillow and thought for a while. There was always someone guarding Margaretâs room. The Lycan King didnât like Margaret moving about, but he didnât stop me from visiting her.
