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

[Margaret’s Perspective]

This thought did not come suddenly. I had wanted to suggest this to Donald for a long time.

I could tell that Donald was in a difficult position, caught between Angel and me. As Lycan King, he already had too many things to worry about. I might not be able to help with the rest, but I didn’t want Donald to be troubled about this matter if I could resolve it.

“No, Margaret, you just have to stay in the pack. I’ll take care of everything else,” Donald said.

“Trust me, Donald, I’m capable of solving this,” I said, pretending to be relaxed. “We’re both women. I know what she’s thinking better than you do. Besides, she won’t do anything to me.”

“I don’t want you to get hurt because of this,” Donald said.

“No.” I smiled at Donald. “Uh, actually, I think she’s quite nice. I’m sure we’ll have a good chat.”

“Do you really think so?”

I smiled and nodded. It was starting to get easier to lie to Donald. It’s not good, I thought to myself.

“If you insist, fine. But you really don’t have to do this,” Donald said with a frown. “I’ve already told Angel. She’s just doing her job. She won’t come after you.”

But she’s already here to cause trouble for me. I sighed inwardly. Donald was undoubtedly a good leader, but he obviously didn’t understand women that well.

I could see Angel’s desire to conquer Donald clearly. She was not someone who would give up easily. If I did not face her directly, she would never give up. Nothing Donald could say to her about this matter would be of any use. Only I could make her give up.

Armstrong, I saw, was ready up ahead.

Donald put his arm around me and walked me straight ahead. We walked through the crowd to the front. He stood with Armstrong. I was next to Donald. Elizabeth was next to Armstrong. Below the stage, Elliot and Anthony were next to each other and Angel was on her own.

I felt Angel’s glare. She looked unhappy that I was standing beside Donald. I tried my best to ignore her. This was the first time I had stood with Donald in a slightly formal setting. I had never stood on a stage and seen so many people’s eyes on me. I tried my best to keep my body straight and not show my nervousness.

Armstrong began to speak. “I’m sure many people have heard that last night, in the forest outside our pack, there was another attack. This one was discovered by me and Luna Elizabeth.”

Armstrong glanced at Elizabeth. The people in the hall began to whisper.

I noticed that Elizabeth had turned a little pale. It looked like Armstrong wanted to raise Elizabeth’s prestige in the pack to show that Elizabeth had also done something useful for the pack. But Elizabeth didn’t think so. She only thought that what she had seen last night was terrifying.

“Fortunately, none of us were injured in the attack, and none of the Lycans suffered any casualties. Besides, we found a new clue about the attacks.”

The noise in the hall continued. Everyone was discussing it with the people around them. Armstrong had to increase his volume.

“However, we found an unidentified person in our forest, currently unconscious. We are doing our best to investigate the identity of this person. Now, the successive attacks must make us vigilant. We will not wait for the enemy to attack us continuously. All of us in the Pack should unite and fight the shameless attackers together at this time.”

Armstrong’s words were very inspirational. Everyone’s whispered discussion stopped. I saw everyone’s eyes gather on Armstrong.

“So from now on, the Pack will go into emergency management mode. We will mark out an area in the center of the Pack, and everyone will have to live in the designated area. For those who currently live outside the area, we will send someone to arrange temporary residence for you. You will be free to move around in this area, and we will send someone to defend it.

No one is allowed to leave this area without permission. We’ve set up a special patrol team with the royal Lycans. The patrol team goes in and out using tokens. Solo operations are forbidden. A Lycan must accompany every patrol.

In addition, we will also arrange for patrols in the area. Apart from children, old people, and people who belong to the patrol team, everyone is to participate in the patrol mission. Please come to the front to get your registration form, and we will train everyone and schedule the patrol time.”

The discussion in the hall erupted again. I hadn’t expected Armstrong to go that far. But there was no denying that he had done everything he could to keep everyone safe.
