Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate

[Margaret’s Perspective]

Donald escorted me back to my old ward, but he didn’t come in. I stood at the door and looked at him. He gave me an apologetic expression.

“Do you have anything else to do?” I asked, pretending to be relaxed.

Donald nodded. His eyes were still on me.

“It’s okay. I’ll stay here and not run away again,” I promised Donald as I took his hand.

Actually, I really wanted Donald to stay, but from his expression, I knew that he had other things to do.

Donald was the Lycan King after all. I had already caused enough trouble and couldn’t add to it. Even if I wanted to participate in the protection of the Pack rather than stay in the ward, I had to endure it for Donald’s sake.

To my surprise, Donald took my hand and walked into the ward with me. We sat down on the bed.

“Are you staying?” I asked.

“No, I have to go,” Donald said.

I fell silent.

I understood why he stayed. His mood must be the same as mine. Neither of us wanted to be separated from the other. We were still holding hands. I felt the heat from where our skin touched spread through my body. It felt like sparks burning inside me.

I had an urge to beg Donald to stay, but I had to bite my tongue.

Donald turned around and hugged me. I couldn’t control myself anymore. I leaned my head on his shoulder and snuggled into his arms, enjoying his scent that intoxicated me and this moment of happiness.

“Margaret.”

I heard Donald’s voice in my ear. I thought he was going to say that he needed to leave. I wrapped my arms around his waist again, wanting the moment to linger, even for a second.

I felt Donald hesitate, but he was still hugging me with his strong arms. I felt his reassuring strength behind me. I would always be proud to have a Mate like Donald.

“Margaret, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Donald’s hand stroked my back from top to bottom. I felt comfortable because of his touch. His other hand held my head, bringing me closer to his shoulder.

“Huh?” I made a sound with my nose.

“I’ve seriously considered what you said before,” Donald said slowly but clearly.

“What?” I pulled myself off his shoulder and raised my eyes to his.

“What happened this time was caused by you running out by yourself,” Donald said. He tapped my forehead with his fingertips and revealed a mesmerizing serious expression.

I rubbed my nose in shame and didn’t dare speak.

“However, I’m also responsible for this. I didn’t protect you well.” Donald’s gray-green eyes revealed a trace of self-reproach.

Since I woke up, we had never seriously discussed my escape. It was mainly because I felt guilty and thought that Donald was still angry with me.

Donald didn’t take the initiative to mention it, and I didn’t dare to mention it at all. I just kept praying in my heart to the moon goddess that he would let me off this time.

The look in his eyes at this moment made me realize that I had not considered Donald’s feelings. I only thought that he would be angry, but I didn’t care what he really thought.

‘No, not your fault. It’s all my own fault,’ I said hastily.

“Your problem is my problem.” Donald pressed a finger to my lips to stop what I was about to say.

Donald continued, “I used to think that as long as you stayed in the pack, you wouldn’t face any danger. But now I realize that things won’t go as we expected, and the danger won’t only come when you’re ready. Just like that day, when I was clearly by your side, but you still got seriously injured.”

I looked at Donald and said, “That day, it only happened because I insisted on going into the forest. I won’t do it again. If I want to do anything, I’ll tell you.

I won’t go anywhere dangerous without your permission again. I meant what I said this time. I didn’t like it when you always controlled me, but I understand now that you did it to protect me.”

Our eyes reflected each other. At this moment, I felt like our hearts had drawn even closer.

We kissed, so very naturally.

People were always like this. The closeness of the heart was often expressed by the closeness of the body, and vice versa. Physical contact would bring two souls closer.

The kiss didn’t last long, but when we separated, we saw attachment and affection in each other’s eyes.
