[Margaretâs Perspective]
I felt that he had room to back down. I held his arm and refused to let go. I gave him a pitiful coquettish expression.
âThat doesnât work.â Donald was still tense.
âIs this useless?â I stood on tiptoes, put my arms around Donaldâs neck, and kissed his chin.
âIt doesnât work.â
I saw Donaldâs mouth twitch. He was lying.
Emboldened, I jumped up and hugged him. I hooked my arms around his neck and kissed his lips. Donald finally couldnât hold it in anymore. He held my neck very aggressively and kissed me. He bit my lips with his teeth. I opened my mouth slightly and obediently accepted his plunder.
âIf you want to get out, youâll have to mark with me. Other than that, I wonât let you go.â
âSure.â
Donald was a little surprised by the speed of my answer. I looked up and smiled at him. I said, âIâm willing to mark and be yours forever. You said last time that we still have to consider it. Iâve thought about it now. What about you? Donald, are you willing to be bound to me for the rest of my life for no other purpose? Are you willing to mark me?â
The experience of being attacked in the forest had allowed me to grow further. Previously, I was still hesitant and uneasy about my future with Donald.
But at the moment of life and death, the only person I could think of was Donald. I knew that I had already given him my body and soul at the same time. I would never be able to leave him for the rest of my life.
In that case, what was there for me to worry about? Even if our future was going to be filled with difficulties and obstacles, I had the confidence and courage to face everything.
âI do.â Donald hugged me. His movements were light. I felt how much he valued me.
âSo⦠you want toâ¦â I was too embarrassed to continue.
Donald released me and we pulled away slightly.
âI have something on later.â Donaldâs gray-green eyes were filled with love and desire as he stared at me. âWait for me to come back tonight.â
âThen can you let me go home first?â I said carefully as I peeked at Donaldâs expression. âOr someone can come and see me or talk to me. Iâm going to suffocate here.â
âWho do you want to see?â
âAâ¦â As expected, I saw Donaldâs expression turn even worse. If I really said that I wanted to see Armstrong, he would probably turn hostile immediately.
I quickly changed the subject. âElizabeth. I want to see Elizabeth.â
Donaldâs expression softened again. âSure. Iâll arrange for her to come over.â
Donald kept his word and said that he would ask Elizabeth to come. Elizabeth came to my ward that afternoon. To my surprise, Elizabeth didnât look like her usual armed self. She was only wearing a simple sweater and shorts. Her hair wasnât carefully styled. She didnât even have makeup on. She didnât even have any lipstick.
From the time she started dating boys in elementary school, I rarely saw her like this. Even at home, it seemed that from the moment she woke up to the moment before she fell asleep, she had a beautiful appearance with exquisite makeup.
Elizabeth leaped on me the moment she saw me.
I reached out and caught her, sensing that she was much more agitated than I was.
âHow are you? Are you okay?â Elizabeth said.
âIâm fine.â
âThe Lycan King wouldnât let me see you. I thought something had happened to you. I thought you were dead. I was so scared.â Elizabeth sounded like she was about to cry.
I patted her back gently to calm her.
âIâm fine. Donaldâ¦â In the past, I used to feel restrained and annoyed by Donaldâs strict watch on me, but now, it was more like sweetness. Donald only used his own way to express my importance to him.
âHeâs more nervous about me.â
âIâve been wanting to come and see you. I heard that the Lycan King finally agreed, so I came over immediately. Do you need anything here? Iâll bring it over for you.â
I had never thought that Elizabeth would value me so much. I began to realize that in the past few years, perhaps I had just lived in my own world and ignored the people around me. Many people cared about me and loved me in their own way, but I was unaware of it.
For a moment, I actually felt a lump in my throat. Blood was thicker than water. This was true love that was evident during lifeâs pivotal moments.
âI can see that,â I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
âWhat can you tell?â
âI can tell that youâre anxious.â I pushed back a strand of Elizabethâs hair and smiled.
Elizabeth realized what I was saying and immediately looked nervous. She used her phone to look at herself left and right.
âAm I ugly like this? Iâm doomed. I came out in a hurry. How am I going to go back later?â
Elizabeth was still the same Elizabeth. I couldnât help but laugh when I saw how concerned she was with her appearance. She was a precious treasure in my life
