Chapter 165: The Person He Loves Is You

[Margaret’s Perspective]

Elizabeth let out a small animal whine and curled herself into a fetal position. This was what humans did when they were still inside their mother’s womb. When humans were nervous, they instinctively turned into this position.

I wanted to say something to reassure her, but I didn’t know what I could say.

I still couldn’t contact Donald, and there was no way I could escape on my own. We had to stay here and wait for Angel’s arrangements.

This aimless waiting was the most torturous. I could clearly feel my mood becoming more anxious with every second.

Where exactly is this place? I wondered.

Have we left the Silver Moon Pack?

Will there be any patrols around here?

Donald must already be sending people to look for us. If we scream loudly here, is it possible that someone outside will hear us and come to save us, or will we alert the guards and get knocked unconscious?

What is Angel trying to do? If we are no longer of any value to her, will she just walk in and kill us?

One thought after another flashed through my mind, but I couldn’t get any answers.

“Margaret… are we going to die here?”

Elizabeth immediately asked the question that was troubling me.

I clasped my wrists with my fingernails and pretended to be calm. “Don’t think like that. The fact that we’re still alive means that she won’t do anything. Elizabeth, the first thing we have to do is find a way to untie ourselves and get out of this place.”

I tugged at the knot in my hand again. It showed no sign of loosening.

I heard Elizabeth sigh in frustration.

“Cheer up, Elizabeth,” I encouraged. “We should maintain a positive attitude and trust our mates. Donald and Armstrong are trying to save us. We can’t give up on ourselves.”

“Donald might be thinking of a way, but Armstrong wouldn’t do that,” Elizabeth said in a muffled voice. “He might just find someone to handle this and focus on the Silver Moon Pack.”

“Of course not!” I said. “Elizabeth, you’re his mate. You must be the one he cares about most at all times.”

“Don’t you know who he really cares about?” Elizabeth said, keeping a little distance from me.

Before I could say anything, Elizabeth continued, “Armstrong didn’t want to be with me. When you and Donald were making love next door, Armstrong refused to be close to me. He looked like he was going to reject me. Then he said that Pack had something on and left. The person he loves has always been you, Margaret. He never loved me.”

I didn’t know what Elizabeth was feeling when she said that, but I felt terrible when I heard it. I had hurt my sister in it, even though it was completely against my will.

Armstrong, that bastard!

Why can’t he learn to treat his mate properly?!

I leaned my head against the back wall and said, “Elizabeth, Armstrong won’t reject you. I’ve talked to him about all this. Donald and I are mates, and we love each other deeply. What happened between Armstrong and me before is in the past.”

Elizabeth said nothing. All I could hear was her soft breathing.

“Besides, Donald and I have already marked each other. We belong to each other. No one can separate us again.”

Elizabeth’s head came up and turned in my direction.

“What?!”

“Neither of us was willing to part with the other, but Donald insisted on sending us away. So we thought of Marking, which would allow us to sense each other from a long distance and ensure our safety.”

I shook my head. Now that seemed like an irony.

Our marking hadn’t achieved the desired effect. Neither of us could contact the other now.

“When did you guys get marked?” Elizabeth asked.

“Today.”

“In your bedroom?! You marked like this… I mean, where’s your ritual?”

Elizabeth spoke in a tone of voice that was difficult to understand. “This is something worthy of everyone’s witness. And your mate is the Lycan King. You should have the grandest ceremony. You should be the most dazzling one of them.”

“Of course I will look forward to that.” I lowered my head and said, “But I think the ceremony is less important than the other party being the right person. Since I’ve already decided on Donald, nothing else matters. At that moment, being one with Donald is the only thing I want to do.”

Elizabeth was quiet for a long moment before she said slowly, “I still can’t believe you guys have marked.”

I smiled and said, “To be honest, I didn’t think about it either. But I didn’t expect to meet Donald before. Perhaps there are many accidents in life. Before they come, no one knows what the future will be like. Only when we really face it can we know if this accident is good or bad. Before the outcome is decided, everything is possible.”
