[Margaretâs Perspective]
I could never refuse Donald.
It was like lightning striking the ground between mates. Just a small spark could ignite all the passion between us. We hugged each other in bed. Such a time, place, and atmosphere shouldnât have been interrupted by anything, but there was always something that dampened the mood.
âKnock, knock, knock.â There were hurried knocks on the door.
âYour Majesty, something has happened,â Elliot said from outside the door.
âWhat is it? If itâs unimportant, weâll talk about it tomorrow,â Donald replied angrily, but our kiss was interrupted. I let go of Donald and calmed my breathing.
From the moment I heard Elliotâs voice, I knew that it was impossible for us to continue. Elliot wasnât someone who didnât know his limits. He knew that I was here. He wouldnât have bothered Donald on a night like this if it wasnât important.
âThe Alpha and Luna of the Silver Moon Tribe have discovered a new attack in the forest.â
âWhat?!â I exclaimed. âElizabeth!â
Donald glanced at me, sat up, and said loudly, âI understand. Iâll be right there.â
I was already putting on my clothes. I didnât dare to imagine the terrifying consequences. Elizabeth didnât know how to fight at all. Once something happened, she couldnât protect herself at all. When Donald and I were in bed, Elizabeth was in danger. How could I be such a sister!
I felt a surge of guilt and endless worry. Armstrong and Elizabeth were together. Elizabeth should be fine. No matter what, Armstrong would protect her. They were Alpha and Luna of the pack. Nothing must happen to them!
âWhat are you doing?â Donald asked me with a frown.
âDidnât you hear? Elizabeth was attacked. Letâs hurry over.â
âI wonât let you go to the forest at night.â
âWhat?!â I looked at Donald in disbelief. At this time, he was still carrying out that damn overprotective order?
âStay here. Iâll go into the forest and see what happens. Iâll bring your sister back to you.â
âNo!â I cried. âSheâs my sister. I have to come with you.â
âThere will be danger in the forest. You are safest here.â
âIsnât it safe enough for me to be by your side?â
The two of us were already dressed and standing at the door, but we were still arguing over such a small matter of me going or not going. I was irritated by this. We shouldnât be standing here. We should be rushing to the forest as quickly as possible.
âYour Majesty, Lycan King, thereâs a message from Alpha Armstrong. He says thereâs something new and he wants you to go over as soon as possible,â Elliot said from outside the door.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLet me go, Donald. I canât be at ease staying here,â I said anxiously.
Donaldâs eyes met mine, and I saw the light of compromise in them.
âYou have to promise me that youâll follow me closely when we enter the forest. Youâre not allowed to leave my side.â
âI promise not to leave you.â
Finally, I saw Donald nod. He turned and opened the door. At the door was Elliot with a serious expression.
âYour Majesty, Lycan King, the message over there saysââ
As they spoke, they were walking down the stairs in big strides. I hurriedly jogged after them.
âWeâll talk when we get there. Letâs hurry,â Donald said.
âYes.â Elliot finally saw me following behind and said in surprise, âThis⦠Is Miss Margaret coming along?â
âYes.â Donald turned to look at me and said calmly, âFollow me later. If youâre afraid, you can hug my neck.â
For a moment, I didnât understand what he was talking about.
The next moment, I saw Donald and Elliot transform at the same time. Two majestic wolves appeared in front of me. They were both more than three meters long. One of them had brownish-black fur and snow-white limbs. The other had silver fur. He was taller and more dignified than the other.
âCome up.â
I heard Donald speak to me on Mindlink.
I tentatively stepped in front of the silver-gray wolf and touched his head. He shook his neck in frustration and opened his mouth to grab my shirt, throwing me straight onto his back. He did it so gently that it didnât hurt.
Riding on Donaldâs wolf, I saw the curious eyes of Elliotâs wolf.
Wolf did not like his head to be patted.
Donald explained it to me.
I had never ridden Wolf.
Wolf had never been ridden either.
âActually, I can transform and follow you.â
I replied in embarrassment. It would be too eye-catching to let Donald carry me there.
You wonât be able to keep up. Hold on tight.
All I heard was a long howl. Then Donald, or rather Wolf, ran like the wind with me on his back. I instinctively wrapped my arms around Wolfâs neck. The scenery flew past me. The biting wind cut my face like a knife. I had to bury my face in Wolfâs thick fur.
I understood what Donald meant about me not being able to keep up.
The physical attributes of us ordinary werewolves were nothing compared to the royal Lycans. It took us only two or three minutes to reach the forest.
