Chapter 34: Chapter 34

[Donald’s Perspective]

When Armstrong took his men back first, I contacted Elliot and asked him about our assault team. One of the members of the team had extreme perception. His senses were extremely sharp. I needed him to confirm the direction of the enemy.

However, Elliot brought bad news. He said that the assault team would not arrive tonight. It would be tomorrow morning at the earliest.

I sighed. I had no choice.

I called Elliot back first. He looked hesitant, as if he had something to tell me.

“What is it?” I asked.

“I just heard that Angel came along,” Elliot stammered.

“What?!” I frowned. “Why would she come along? Let her go back. That’s an order.”

Angel was Elliot’s cousin and my ex-girlfriend. To be precise, we only spent a short time together, but I didn’t think we were suitable for each other. We broke up quickly and didn’t acknowledge our relationship to the public.

But she had always regarded herself as my girlfriend. And I already had a mate now. As everyone knew, the priority of a mate was above everything. The person I loved now was Margaret, and I had promised her the position of the Lycan Queen.

“Why is Angel here at this time? I’ll explain to her that we’re done. She shouldn’t be causing trouble now.”

“Uh, actually, she’s a member of the assault team now. In a sense, you asked her to come.”

“When did she become a member of the assault team?” I asked in disbelief.

“I think it was the day before the assault team left,” Elliot replied.

“This is nonsense!” I growled. “Are the assault teams for her to play house!”

“She passed all the tests of the assault team. Technically, she’s legal,” Elliot said calmly.

Angel had always been an outstanding female warrior, I knew that. However, I was surprised that she could pass the test for the assault team. I scratched my head in frustration. There had been enough work for one night, and now there was Angel. I did not want Margaret to know about this, but once Angel came, I knew that their meeting would be inevitable.

“There are so many people in the assault team. Why did she have to be the only one here? Get her to go back and get someone else.”

“I thought the reason was obvious, Lycan King.”

I glared at Elliot, but I had to admit that he was right. Angel had come on purpose and had used some means to add herself to this list.

“Alright, I’ll settle this.”

I saw Margaret at the door of the cafeteria. Her eyes were filled with shock.

Oh, my little mate. She had not experienced any hardships. She was just an ordinary girl who grew up in a peaceful environment. I didn’t dare to imagine the situation when she faced Angel.

I reached out and hugged Margaret.

“Let’s go back to our room.”

Margaret held my hand. I knew she was panicking about the attack. The thought of her relying on me after such a big thing happened in her pack was comforting. I touched her hair to comfort her. It was so silky and smooth, like good toffee. It was also fragrant. I wondered what brand of shampoo it was.

Back in the room, she pressed herself against my chest. Our scents mingled, making us both calm and peaceful.

Margaret’s fingers were on the corner of my shirt. I had already realized that this was a small unconscious habit she had whenever she was nervous or anxious.

I pried her fingers apart one by one and held her fingers.

“Relax, Margaret,” I said, looking her in the eye.

She looked at me like a lamb in adoration. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. I didn’t know when she started crying.

I licked her tears. I didn’t know why I did this, but in an instant, I wanted to do it.

There was a salty, bitter taste in my mouth.

“Why are you crying?”

“I’m scared, Donald.” She raised her eyes, her eyelashes flickering. “Why did such a terrible thing happen? Will the attack happen again?”

I could not answer her question and could only comfort her by rubbing her back.

“No one wants this to happen. All of us are trying to avoid the next attack.”

She wiped the corners of her eyes. “You’re right, Donald.”

“I was wondering if you wanted to retreat to a safe place first. I’m very worried about your safety after such an attack on your tribe.”

“I’m thinking that I should become strong and fight like you to protect my tribe. I’ll go for training tomorrow.”

Margaret and I spoke at almost the same time and saw the surprise on each other’s faces.

“That’s impossible.”

“I won’t allow it!”

We spoke almost at the same time again. I didn’t even know if I should call this our tacit understanding.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Our thoughts were completely different.

I gazed into Margaret’s eyes but saw the same determination in them as mine.
