[Margaretâs Perspective]
[Escape through the back of the cabin and go find His Majesty!]
In my head, I heard Elliotâs message me in Mindlink.
Without hesitation, I climbed out through the cabin window with Elizabeth. Elizabethâs movements were clumsy. I unlatched the window and pulled Elizabeth along as I stumbled forward.
The sounds of battle behind me gradually faded. Elliot asked me to look for Donald, but which direction should we go? I couldnât confirm where he was, but I didnât dare to stop. I could only run away from the front of the wooden cabin.
âMargaret!â
Elizabeth purred softly beside me.
âWhere are we going?â
I pursed my lips. I didnât dare tell her that I didnât know the direction either. I could only say, âLetâs go find Donald. Heâs right ahead.â
Elizabeth stopped talking.
I didnât know how long Elliot could hold out in the rear, but he certainly couldnât defeat so many people on his own. Angel had come prepared. She knew that we had brought capable warriors with us. All we could do was stay as far away from them as possible. As long as we could find Donald and join up with him, Angel was nothing to fear.
[Stay there! Margaret, stay in the cabin!]
I received a message from Donald suddenly.
My heart skipped a beat. Donald sounded anxious. He must be experiencing a battle over there too.
I looked ahead. Donald was definitely not far from me. Elizabeth and I were walking in the right direction. If we continued, would I be able to see Donald soon?
[Go back! Go back, itâs dangerous here!]
Donaldâs voice came again.
I stopped in surprise. What should I do now?
[Donald, where are you?]
âMargaret!â
âElizabeth,â I interrupted. âI know youâre nervous. Donât worry. Now give me a moment. Iâm trying to get in touch with Donald.â
âAnthony sent me a message just now.â
âThatâs not important⦠Wait, what?!â I turned to Elizabeth.
âAnthony sent me a message that he was with the Lycan King. He told us to stay in the cabin and wait for them to come and meet us,â Elizabeth said. âI donât know how to use my Mindlink. I donât know how to reply to him. Perhaps we should tell them our location.â
I looked down and thought for a moment. âWhat do you think we should do now?â I asked Elizabeth.
âMe?â Elizabeth looked confused. âI donât know. I want the Silver Moon Pack back. I donât want to stay in the forest anymore.â
âIf we continue forward, we might meet Anthony and Donald, or we might have to confront the other party. If we return to the cabin, we will have a place to defend. However, we donât know the situation with Elliot and Angel. Itâs very likely that we will encounter Angel on the way.â I described the current situation to Elizabeth.
We were clearly sandwiched between two groups of people. I guessed that this was originally Angelâs goal. However, for some reason, Donald and the group of people who had planned to outflank us from the rear met each other.
âDo you mean we need to fight no matter which direction we choose?â Elizabethâs faint voice asked.
My mind flashed back to what Angel had just said to me in a sarcastic tone.
âTwo burdens.â
âWeak and ignorant werewolves.â
âUseless trash.â
Every word stung my heart, and I knew that Angel wasnât the only one who thought that. Elliot, the warriors Donald had brought, and even Donald probably thought so.
Werewolves were a weak race that needed to be protected. They were not important compared to the Lycans.
I tried to prove myself more than once, but I failed again and again. In the end, I thought that I couldnât do it and could only accept Donaldâs protection.
But that shouldnât be the case.
Although we were weaker than them, we had the same unyielding will to fight. We did not lose to the Lycans in intelligence and strategy. As long as we put our hearts into it, we might have a chance to defeat them.
âThis is our pack. Donald is helping us. We should help.â I looked at Elizabeth.
âI still think we should follow their instructions,â Elizabeth said, biting her lip. âHave you forgotten the last time we were in the forest? Margaret, you are always on the front line of everything, but there are things that might not be suitable for us to do.â
I knew in my heart that Elizabeth had a point.
But I didnât want to admit defeat after what Angel had said. I just wanted to prove that I wasnât as useless as she said.
âShall we find a safe place and then you can send a message to the Lycan King for them to pick us up?â Elizabeth suggested.
I looked up and began to seriously consider Elizabethâs suggestion. It was feasible, and it was probably the safest solution in the current situation. I was about to speak when my eyes suddenly focused on a snow-white giant wolf walking slowly toward us.
