Chapter 14: Chapter 14

[Margaret’s POV]

From the window, I saw Donald warning Selina and the others.

I could only say that they brought it on themselves.

Saying these words at this time was no different from challenging the authority of the Lycan King in person. They were really a bunch of fools.

Actually, I didn’t care about Selina and the others anymore. They couldn’t do anything but mock me. That wouldn’t really hurt my feelings. Instead, it would make me feel sorry for them.

However, I was still very touched to see Donald stand up for me like this. Many a time, I could protect myself, but I still hoped that a man could protect me and support me with his strong arms.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So when Donald walked in, the anger and grievance I felt from being locked up here immediately subsided.

Being held here like a prisoner by him made me feel humiliated, and the way the keeper outside the door looked at me made me feel like I had no dignity. I wasn’t even standing here as an equal. I was just Donald’s plaything.

However, I had to admit that my irresistible physical attraction to Donald made me infatuated and full of adoration for him. These feelings outweighed all other negative emotions.

“You’re back.”

Donald’s response was to wrap his arms around me. He was tall enough to lift me up, and when my gaze met his, my legs were barely above the ground. To keep my balance, I had to struggle to stand on my toes and put my feet on his.

“Will I hurt you?”

“Of course not. You’re as light as a feather.”

Was this a compliment? I didn’t know. I always fell so quickly into his arms that I blushed. Damn, I always blushed easily in front of him. Did this make me look unhealthy? Only people with a fever would keep blushing. My imagination ran wild.

“I’m sorry to leave you here alone,” I heard Donald say.

“It’s okay. You just shouldn’t have stopped me from going out.”

I fussed with the buttons on his chest.

“I want you by my side all the time. I don’t want anyone to see you.”

I was speechless. I thought the same thing. I didn’t want anyone to see Donald. He should only belong to me, but that was impossible.

“You can’t do that.” I look intently at Donald. Although I said no, he could see in my eyes that I also desired a world with just the two of us.

“Maybe I can,” Donald says, looking back at me intently.

“I just want to look for my sister and give something to Anthony, the Beta who is with Elizabeth. Previously, he and I were in charge of the pack’s patrol. I haven’t given him my plan.”

“A patrol plan? Let me see.”

I didn’t know why Donald was interested in the patrol, but I handed him the computer.

“You did well,” Donald said admiringly.

“Can I go out now?” I asked.

“But we don’t need this now.”

“Why?” I wondered. “I know Armstrong is back, but my proposal might not be useless.”

I felt Donald’s eyes darken when I mentioned Armstrong. Did he know what was going on between me and Armstrong? But he was my mate now. I was devoted to him, and I only had eyes for him. He should feel it.

“Your plan is very good. But the news that your Alpha—Armstrong—brought back said that the neighboring race has been attacked. Now, all your tribe’s patrols will have to be redesigned. I will also send people to help you.”

“The neighbor was attacked. How could that be?” I cried out in surprise. In my entire life, I had never heard of an attack. The tribes had a peaceful relationship with each other and had no grudges. How could an attack happen?

“Which tribe was attacked? Who attacked them?” I asked.

Donald set me down and we sat on the bed. I could tell he was deep in thought, like he was trying to figure out how to tell me.

“Tell me, Donald. Please.”

Donald glanced at me and said, “It’s the Red Sun Pack. We’re not sure who the enemy is now.”

The Red Sun Tribe was very close to us! I had previously gone there to help the people of the pack buy things. The people of that pack were very kind and friendly. I couldn’t believe that they had actually been attacked. This was too scary!

“Will they attack us too?”

“That’s hard to say,” Donald said ambiguously. “So I’ll stay for now, Margaret. I’ll make sure you’re safe.”
