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

[Donald’s POV]

I told Elliot about the situation and he looked grim.

“We don’t have enough manpower to make adequate arrangements. We need more manpower,” said Elliot.

“I think so too.” I nodded. “We need to gather more people from the pack.”

“Are we going to fight here?” Elliot looked incredulous.

If we left the Silver Moon Pack, they might suffer unimaginable losses. However, the terrain here was not conducive to fighting. I understood Elliot’s concerns.

The Silver Moon Pack was just a small tribe. Their camp was not big, and there would not be enough space to engage in real combat. The forest around them could not provide enough cover or allow them to set up traps.

Moreover, they had many elderly people and children with no combat ability. If we wanted to ensure their safety, it would be difficult for our people to do anything.

“Lycan King, there’s a high chance that they will be attacked because of us. As long as we leave, the people here might not be attacked,” Elliot advised.

I thought so too. We were only here to patrol the various tribes. We wouldn’t want to cause too much trouble for them.

But the situation was different now. Since Margaret had become my mate, her pack was destined to be the focus of the enemy. Whether it was out of my own subjective will or not, I’d already pulled her into this maelstrom of power.

Obviously thinking the same thing, Elliot suggested, “You can take your mate away. That will keep her and her tribe safe at the same time.”

I thought about the look of realization on Margaret’s face when I offered to take her away.

There was no doubt that Margaret liked me. But I wasn’t sure if she liked me enough to abandon everything and return to my pack with me. She clearly wanted to stay with her family.

Her sister, Elizabeth, was Luna of the pack, and her sister’s mate was Armstrong, the Alpha of the pack. My heart twitched at the thought. Was Armstrong also Margaret’s family?

Did they have something going on before? Otherwise, why would Margaret’s expression be so different from others when she mentioned Armstrong. And there was his inexplicable hostility toward me. From this perspective, the thought made me irritable.

I didn’t like my mate to cast her eyes on other men, or hang out with them, even though I knew it was probably inevitable. We’d only just met, and she inevitably had a past, but I wanted us to be honest.

“Oh right, Lycan King. Just now, Margaret said she wanted to go out and meet her sister.”

I heard Elliot say.

Before I left, I had left an order for Margaret not to leave that house. I wanted to see her when I got back. Why couldn’t she wait a little longer? Did she have to leave the house?

Did she want to see her sister or Armstrong—the Alpha of the pack? I didn’t want these jealous thoughts to fill my mind, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Margaret.

“Did you let her out?”

“No. We followed your orders and asked her to stay in the house. But she seemed unhappy.”

Putting these personal matters out of my mind for the moment, I said to Elliot, “Go ahead and send word to our people. Get them to send more men. Even if we have to leave, it won’t be anytime soon. At least for now, we need some power to ensure our safety.”

“Yes, Lycan King.” Elliot obeyed and left.

I headed over to my room, eager to see Margaret.

I thought we needed to be honest with each other.

When I almost got to Margaret’s room, I heard some people whispering.

Normally, I wouldn’t have bothered with such gossip, but I heard Margaret’s name being mentioned.

“How is an ordinary-looking person like Margaret fit to be the Lycan King’s mate?”

“That’s right. Did you see the rags she was wearing? It was disgusting.”

“Could she have used some method to seduce the Lycan King?”

“The two of them are up to no good. One is seducing the Alpha and the other is seducing the Lycan King. They might be using the same cheap tricks.”

“Didn’t you see how Alpha treats Elizabeth? She definitely won’t become Luna. Margaret can’t become the Lycan King’s mate. When they wake up, they’ll reject them sooner or later!”

This malicious slander angered me. No one had the right to slander my mate like this.

I looked out the window of Margaret’s room where the voices had come from. There was a good chance they had come here on purpose to let Margaret hear these things.

“Don’t let me see you here again!”

I growled and charged at them, shouting angrily.

Startled, the girls ran away.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that they were women, I would have slapped them a few times. Those who slandered the Lycan Queen behind her back would be punished severely by the royal family.
