Chapter 75: Chapter 75

[Margaret’s Perspective]

But at this moment, Donald said it to me.

Instantly, I was extremely touched.

Keep in mind that the mark on the body was permanent. It would always bear witness to the fact that you once had a kindred spirit and that you belonged to another. Even if your partner died, it wouldn’t change that. The mark would stay on your body. If you wanted to break up with your partner and find a new partner, the original mark wouldn’t disappear either. It would even spontaneously resist and dislike the aura of the new partner. It was a mark engraved in the soul that could never be removed.

So everyone would say, “Your mate might not be for life, but the mark would be.”

And choosing someone to mark was also the best proof of your promise of love and loyalty.

“I know it’s a little rash to suggest this. Normally, the mark would be at the celebration of you becoming Queen Lycan,” Donald said. “However, I need a guarantee that you’ll be safe.”

I seemed to have just recovered from the shock and looked at Donald with sweetness and gratitude. He was so good that he thought of everything for me. When I said that I was unwilling to leave the pack, he wanted to give me the mark. Even so, he was still worried that I would be unwilling to accept it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But the mark did not involve just one person. This was a promise he made to me, and a promise I made to him.

He was Lycan King. He deserved the best treatment in everything more than I did. If such a simple mark would be a grievance to me, then wouldn’t it be unfair and a grievance to Donald? With his status, becoming mates with me was already lowering his position in the eyes of many people.

I lowered my head in thought, but I heard Donald say, “I can also promise you that during the celebration of you becoming Queen Lycan, everything that should be there will be there. I’ll give you the best. It’ll just be missing the mark segment.”

“No, Donald, I’d love to. I want to do the mark with you,” I said urgently, raising my eyes to look at him. “But have you really thought it through?

If we mark each other, you can never go back on your word. I’ll be the only one for you. We’ll be tied together forever. Nothing can separate us,” I added gently.

“Margaret, I can’t wait to be tied to you forever and never be separated again.”

I didn’t know what else to say. I could only look at Donald with burning eyes. I felt the flames burning between us.

I hugged his head. I felt Donald gnawing at me like a wild beast. His teeth raked my neck repeatedly, as if he was looking for a better place to bite.

We rolled onto the bed together. The dress I’d just put on was pushed to my chest by him. I gasped and grabbed his hair with my hand, but I didn’t dare use too much strength. I just wrapped his blond hair around my fingers.

Everything was about to go out of control again.

“Wait,” I gasped.

Donald restrained my wrist. I could only raise my upper body to look at him and say with effort, “They’re in a meeting in the hall. They called us over.”

I had just received a message via Mindlink to all the members. I knew that Donald must have received it too. And if I remembered correctly, Armstrong had specially mentioned that the Lycan King would be attending. Donald could not avoid this job.

“Sh*t.” Donald let go and sat on the side.

I lowered my dress and sat up with him. I knelt beside him and carefully observed his expression.

Donald scratched his head irritably and said gruffly, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

I looked down at my dress that had been ravaged. This dress was made of cotton and linen, and it was very comfortable to wear. This kind of material didn’t like to wrinkle, and it didn’t look unusual now. However, thinking of what had just happened, I decided not to wear this dress to the hall.

I dug out an old white T-shirt and jeans from the closet. I was used to such easy and comfortable outfits. However, I turned my head to look in the direction of the bathroom and recalled Elizabeth complaining that I was so slovenly.

After a moment’s hesitation, I tossed the T-shirt and jeans back and pulled out a lacy white dress I hadn’t worn in a long time. The dress had a square neckline at the front, generously revealing my collarbone and half my shoulder. I would probably match Donald a little better in this dress.

I looked at myself in the mirror by the door for a while. I was not satisfied with the white canvas shoes on my feet. I found a pair of white low-heeled shoes and put them on.

Elizabeth and I bought these shoes together. There was a big bow on them that was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I had always thought that this bow was too ostentatious, but now, it looked just right with my simple dress.
