[Donaldâs Perspective]
âI found Miss Margaret. She had already gone upstairs.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As I sat on the bed, I received a message from Elliot via Mindlink.
Iâd been waiting in the room for a while since Elliot and I parted ways. Iâd watched Margaret and Armstrong leave together. Theyâd also come to the hall together. I didnât like the fact that Margaret smelled of other werewolves. We Lycans always wanted to possess our mates completely.
I heard footsteps outside the room. I opened the door before Margaret knocked.
I met Margaretâs face. She looked at me calmly and passionately. I liked the way her eyes always sparkled every time she looked at me.
She looked so small. She was mine.
Without any words, we hugged each other and felt our deep mutual dependence and love for each other. Nothing seemed to need any explanation. We knew how we felt about each other as our auras mingled.
Werewolves were like that. Our sense of smell and bodies often knew better than our hearts and words who the right person was. And when we fell in love, weâd find everything else a burden. Nothing could influence how we felt about the right person.
I carried Margaret and propped her up in our bed.
Margaretâs scent was pleasant, but in addition to the aura she exuded that made me crazy, I also smelled a few scents that didnât belong to her. There was Armstrong, Elizabeth, and Anthony.
What had Margaret been up to in the half-day since she left me? I wanted answers. But another urge welled up inside me. I wanted to erase all other auras even more.
She should only have my scent on her. That way, everyone who came into contact with her would know that she belonged to me just by smelling her scent. Margaret would smell like the Lycan King from now on. Everyone would know that they should retreat.
I looked at Margaretâs flushed face and saw her lips opening and closing. She was breathing rhythmically.
I couldnât think of a reason why I shouldnât do this.
I captured those lips. She tasted as wonderful as ever. She was clearly shy, but she never refused any of my actions and tried to accommodate me every time. We exchanged saliva and breaths repeatedly until we had to separate.
âI really should have done just that,â I said in a low voice.
âWhat?â Margaretâs eyes were still sparkling at me. Her eyes were always lively. Whether she was happy, shy, angry, or disappointed, they were filled with all kinds of emotions. She was like a treasure.
âI should have kissed you like this in the hall.â My fingers touched her lips, and my other hand groped her body. If I could, I would occupy every inch of her.
âYou should have done that.â
Margaret put both hands on my neck and kissed me again.
We expressed love lightly this time, touching and moving away, touching and separating again. It was like playing a game that we both enjoyed.
âI love you, Donald.â
âI love you too.â
That was the first time we confided in each other in a meaningful way.
I didnât expect the first âI love youâ to come out of Margaretâs mouth. She was protecting our relationship with such determination that for a moment I didnât know how to express my tender affection for her. I was willing to make promises to her about our future.
However, no matter what we said, it didnât seem to matter in this situation. She belonged to me, and at the same time, I belonged to her. Everything I had as Lycan King would also be hers in the future.
âThen shouldnât you explain to me about the incident in the hall?â
Margaret stopped hugging me and rested her hands lightly on my arms for support.
I knew there was no escaping the question. I took Margaretâs hands that were on me and placed them around my waist, gesturing for her to hold on to me.
I carried her to the sofa and sat her down. I sat on the other side.
Now that we were face-to-face, if she kept clinging to me like she had just done, I really couldnât guarantee that I would have the willpower to talk to her properly about this.
âAngel isnât my girlfriend. Sheâs the leader of the assault team I deployed,â I explained. âBut I didnât call her over. I donât know when she got into the team.â
âSo why did she say sheâs your girlfriend?â
âSheâs my ex.â I sighed. âBut weâve been apart for a long time. Probably for several years. Weâve only been together for a few months. Our personalities arenât compatible.â
I looked at the way Margaret was looking at me. I knew she wanted to know more.
âDo you really want to hear about what happened between Angel and me?â
