Chapter 3

I saw Donald walk in. He was no different from when he was at the venue. He was neatly dressed and had an outstanding aura. Other than his full lips, he looked like a god.

Why am I able to become partners with such a person?I wondered.

For the umpteenth time this evening, I doubted myself. I looked at Donald and wondered when he would realize that being with me was a mistake.

“You look panicked,” Donald said.

“He—he’s the Alpha of our tribe,” I said evasively.

“Just the Alpha of the tribe?” Donald’s sharp gaze told me there was nothing to hide. But I didn’t want to explain this at this point. I sat on him fawningly and rubbed my full breasts against his muscular chest.

“Oh, Margaret.” He smiled at my fawning and unceremoniously massaged my breasts. I groaned softly.

“You know you won’t stay here forever,” Donald said. “You’re my mate. I’m the Wolf King. You’re the future Wolf Queen. You’ll always be with me. You don’t have to worry about anyone here.”

I was surprised.Am I leaving here?I wondered.

[Margaret’s POV]

It was common for werewolves to choose to live with their mates, but I had never thought that I would marry the Wolf King and naturally never thought that I would leave the pack.

In the past, I had always thought that I would marry Armstrong and become the Luna of the tribe. I even fantasized about giving birth to a bunch of wolf cubs and living with them. Later, when Armstrong and Elizabeth became mates, all my thoughts about marriage disappeared. I thought that I would marry a certain Beta of the tribe, but I would not leave this place.

But now, my mate was the Wolf King.Should I live with him? Follow him to a place I don’t know, surrounded by people I don’t know?I wondered.

Instinctively, the thought of such a future made me panicky.I have my parents and sister. What will happen to Elizabeth? She won’t do anything to be a Luna. She still needs my help with the race.

What should I do about my tribe?I wondered. Armstrong had just said that there was a situation that needed to be guarded. If I left with Donald and someone came to invade our place, I could do nothing. I could not tolerate that.

I looked at Donald in confusion. He kissed the corner of my mouth as if he knew what I was thinking. “You don’t have to worry so much. I’ll stay here for a while. Now I’m going to go discuss something with your Alpha. Stay here and don’t go out, okay?”

I nodded automatically. I was willing to do whatever Donald wanted me to do.

I watched Donald leave and fell weakly onto the bed.

Everything happened so quickly tonight. I needed time to sort myself out.

When Donald told me just now that he would make me his wolf queen, I was puzzled by the concept. If it had in the past, I might have been lost in pure joy. But after what happened with Armstrong and Elizabeth, I doubted all promises.

Armstrong had also promised me that I would become the Luna of the tribe, but he followed his instincts and chose Elizabeth as his mate.Then will my instinct to become mates with Donald be enough to support us?I wondered.

With Donald’s power, status, physique, and looks, he should have countless sexy and beautiful female werewolves by his side.What’s so special about me?I thought. The Silvermoon Wolf Tribe I belonged to was just a small tribe. Usually, we didn’t even have the right to meet the royal family. They were royalty after all!

Frustrated, I searched for my phone to contact Elizabeth and ask her how she was doing. She must have had a big shock tonight. Although she was my annoying sister, we were family after all. If there was a problem, I would be the first to think of her.

His phone rang for a long time but no one picked up.

I dug my laptop out of my bag and tried to find something else to distract me. I saw the documents that Anthony had sent me previously on the computer desktop and remembered that we had discussed setting up a patrol squad. My proposal was ready, but now that Armstrong was back, it was probably redundant.

But perhaps I can go back and take a look at the situation first?I thought.

As soon as the thought hit me, it invaded my mind quickly. I didn’t know how long it would take Donald and Armstrong to discuss things. I couldn’t stay here and wait for him. That would be stupid.

Elizabeth should still be with Anthony now. I thought I could head home and look for them. I planned to give Anthony the proposal and discuss it with Elizabeth again.

The Wolf King’s residence was not far from my house. I could go home and change my clothes while I was at it. My current outfit was really terrible.

Having made up my mind, I headed for the door. To my surprise, two werewolves were standing outside. They stopped me.

“I just want to go home. I want to see my sister, Elizabeth,” I explained to them.

“The Wolf King said that the person inside is not allowed to go out,” one of the werewolves answered.

“I won’t be gone long. I’ll be back.”

“You can’t.”

I couldn’t believe Donald had dared to imprison me like this. This was my tribe, this was my home. He actually restricted my freedom.

“You can’t do this.” I tried to reason with them. “This behavior is completely unreasonable.”

Now neither of them could be bothered with me. They just dutifully refused to let me out.

As it happened, I saw a familiar figure. It was the burly, curly-haired man. Donald seemed to have mentioned just now that his name was Elliot.

“Elliot!” I called.

Elliot turned around and looked at me in surprise.

“Are you calling me?”

“Yeah.” I explained the situation to him, stating that I wanted to go out and emphasizing that I would definitely be back.

Elliot listened to me patiently. “If the Wolf King told you to stay here, then you’d better.”

I felt that I was wasting my breath with him. I didn’t understand why I had to stay here.I’m not a prisoner!I thought.

“But…” I said indignantly.

“We can only abide by the L King’s orders. Forgive me for being powerless.”

[Donald’s POV]

When I left Margaret’s room, I couldn’t help smiling when I thought about the expression on her face.

She was such a cute little girl. I couldn’t help but be obsessed with her.

She seemed to be a little timid and inferior when facing me, but in my eyes, everything about her was so cute. What she did not know was that no matter what clothes or accessories she wore, they could not hide her facial features that moved me.

From the moment I entered the venue, and even before I walked into the venue, she was the only person in my heart. Like a fruit left behind in the Garden of Eden to tempt the human race, she enticed me to go to another world.

But I had to keep my mind clear. I didn’t come here for my mate.

Margaret was a gift from the Moon Goddess. An unexpected gift.

There was something else I had to do.

When I arrived at the conference room, I saw Armstrong and other werewolves.

They looked serious. When they saw me, they were all a little reserved, except Armstrong. I was better at reading people’s emotions than the average person. I could feel his subtle hostility toward me, which was infused with many other complex emotions. This makes me wary. There shouldn’t be any conflict between us.

But I was used to everyone looking at me in all sorts of ways.

“Tell me what happened.”

“I went to have a routine meeting with the Alpha of the Red Sun tribe next door, but they were attacked,” Armstrong said gruffly.

“This is not an ordinary attack. The few packs here have always been harmonious and did not have much conflict. However, this attack happened very suddenly, catching the neighboring tribe off guard. Their entire tribe is in a panic now.”

“Anything unusual?” I asked.

“They don’t act like ordinary werewolves.” Armstrong pulled out a few photos and handed them to me.

The scene was very bloody. The werewolf’s head in the photo had fallen to the ground, and there were a few huge wolf claw marks on his back. The marks were very deep and very long, almost cutting through his entire back, causing the skin and flesh on his back to split open. This was something only a werewolf in wolf form could do, and it had to be a particularly strong werewolf.

“He was a member of the patrol team. He had training every day and was a warrior with good reflexes. When he encountered problems, he could communicate telepathically with others. But when he died, he didn’t even have time to send any information. This means that the person who attacked him was far faster and stronger than ordinary werewolves,” Armstrong added.

“This could be someone from the werewolf royal family,” I mused.

“What?” Armstrong was shocked. “Werewolf royal family, didn’t you all come here?”

I gave him a hard look. That was precisely why I was here.

The werewolf royal family was not as united as the outside world thought.

Although I was the Lycan King, I knew that there were a few covertly rebellious forces among my subordinates. I just hadn’t found out who they were. However, it seemed that they couldn’t hold back anymore and were about to attack.

“If it’s people from the werewolf royal family, I’m afraid our people will have a hard time fighting them.”

Armstrong looked uncomfortable.

The werewolf royal family members were much stronger and faster than ordinary werewolves, and they were often taller. The tribe that Armstrong belonged to was just a small pack scattered in the forest. They had never even seen the werewolf royal family before, much less had the power to resist them. Armstrong and I were well aware of these things.

No one knew if the next attack would happen again, when it would happen, and where it would happen. If that group of people had the intention to attack Armstrong’s Silver Moon Pack, he would definitely not be able to resist. My people could fight them, but I came out this time to assess the situation. I had no intention of fighting. I only brought seven or eight experts.

It was not wise to start a war without knowing the enemy’s scale and size. I pondered over countermeasures quietly.

“The werewolf royal family won’t sit back and do nothing about this, but we need more information. My people will be in charge of gathering information. Armstrong, you’d better mobilize people to protect your pack and strengthen your patrols. I’m not sure if they will attack you. In fact, because I’m here, it might be even more dangerous for you all,” I said.

Armstrong nodded and quickly started dispatching men to step up patrolling.

I activated my telepathy and asked Elliot to come over.

Elliot had grown up with me. He was my trusted aide and the Beta of the tribe. He was an excellent player with sharp ears, meticulous and thoughtful. He was very good at tracking and scouting.

I needed to discuss this with him.
