[Margaret’s Perspective]

I heard Elliot and Angel talking all the time, but I had no idea what they were talking about.

If Elliot chose to defect to Angel’s side, I knew that Elizabeth and I would not have any chance of escaping again.

At this moment, I no longer doubted Elliot’s loyalty to Donald. However, I was worried that he would be enticed by Angel’s flowery but insincere words. Moreover, I had long sensed Elliot’s special feelings for Angel. It was precisely because of this that I never thought that they were related.

Elizabeth and I were standing with our backs to each other. There were four or five Lycans around us.

Every one of them reeked of blood. Elizabeth and I couldn’t open the door and escape into the cabin. I tried my best to peek out, wanting to pay attention to when the battle between Elliot and Angel would end. Elizabeth and I couldn’t hold on anymore.

After forcing the Lycans back with my dagger again, my right arm was slashed by his wolf claws. If this continued, I would have to summon Betty to fight with me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, my stamina was weak now, and Betty wouldn’t last long. If I couldn’t defeat the other party, I would fall into a deeper weakness. I didn’t want to call my wolf out unless I had no choice.

Behind me, Elizabeth grabbed my arm fiercely. From time to time, I could hear her exclaim.

I suspected that she was also injured, but I was in no position to care about her side.

Where are Eric and Anthony??I thought.

Where’s Donald?

I activated my Mindlink with Donald anyway.

[Donald, I need help.]

[We’re at the cabin. Can you come over and help us?]

I sensed that our Mindlink was connected, but there was no response from Donald.?How is Donald now??I wondered.?Is he in a good state??I felt like my heart was being pressed down by a huge rock. I couldn’t breathe.

“Margaret!!!”

Elizabeth called out beside me.

I snapped out of my dazed state quickly and saw a wolf claw slashing down from the sky.

My eyes widened and I let out a scream.

The other party moved too quickly. I only had time to lean in Elizabeth’s direction and wait for him to brush past my shoulder.

At that moment, a dark brown figure pounced on me and Elizabeth and we rolled to the side with inertia. The huge wolf swept left and right twice, forcing the Lycans who had surrounded us to back off a few steps.

I pulled Elizabeth into a sitting position and saw that Elliot was bleeding from a gash in his abdomen.

“Elliot?” I said in a shaky voice.

“Get inside,” Elliot’s wolf said in a low voice, opening the wooden door for us with his front paws and blocking everyone else.

“Your injury…” I began hesitantly.

Elliot glanced down at his abdomen. “It’s okay. You guys go ahead.”

With that, he gave a warning roar.

I saw a huge snow-white wolf jump out from among the chaotic Lycan crowd. I recognized it as Angel’s wolf. I had never seen a wolf with such dazzling fur before.

Elliot’s people gradually gathered around us. I counted the people here.

There were still five or six people on Elliot’s side who were still holding up. There were no less than ten Lycans on Angel’s side. We did not have the advantage in numbers, but if we include Eric and Anthony, everything would be different.

Angel’s wolf eyes scanned our people and then settled on Elliot’s wound.

Elliot kept a wary eye on her.

“What a shame,” Angel said. “You got hurt protecting a werewolf. Is that what you call loyalty?”

“As the Lycan King’s beta, it’s my duty to protect the people he wants to protect. This has nothing to do with me. I can’t betray His Majesty’s orders, and you shouldn’t. You’re ruining our family’s honor.”

“What can you do without protecting that meaningless glory?” Angel snarled.

Elliot hunched his shoulders. It was the position a werewolf would choose when attacking.

A lower center of gravity would make it easier for us to pounce on the enemy we were aiming at.

“If you must fight, I will fight you to the end. As the beta of the Lycan king, dying on the battlefield is a worthy death.”

“Stubborn.”

Angel looked finally irritated. She hunched down, too, but her eyes kept searching for me. She was clawing at the ground. Her eyes glowed a bloodthirsty red.

Elliot swept Elizabeth and me toward the door with his tail.

“What are you waiting for?!”

Elliot roared and lunged at Angel. I took one last look at the tangled fighting crowd, grabbed Elizabeth, and went straight into the cabin.

The cabin was empty. There was no sign of Eric and Anthony who went inside earlier.
