Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate Chapter 279: Attack, poison

[Donald’s POV]

It had been a long ti before the deadly silence in the hall had started to dissipate sowhat.

Having grilled Austin into silence, he finally spoke in resignation, "Donald, you’re still as clever as we were when we were children."

As he spoke, the expression in his eyes suddenly changed, and I was certain that was a very fierce intent to kill!

’Austin wants to kill .’ This thought swept through my mind, and sowhat incredulously, I glanced at him and instinctively turned sideways, narrowly dodging his sharp claws.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Soone, protect His Majesty!"

As Austin’s attack motion startled everyone, several cries for help and shouts of alarm burst out in the hall. Clark and Simpson, who were closest to , imdiately moved forward to shield .

I snapped back to my senses and disdainfully looked at Austin, who had shown a fierce color, pushed the two in front of aside, and grappled with Austin!

"You could have been faster and more ruthless. Why didn’t you just crush my throat?" I swung my fist and knocked off Austin’s head aside, coldly asking.

Austin swallowed the blood in his mouth, looked up at with a fierce gaze, and mockingly responded, "Do you think I didn’t want to? I just couldn’t..."

"What does that an?" I asked reflexively, grabbing Austin by the neck, with a bloodthirsty emotion flashing in my eyes.

Naturally, Austin would not kindly answer my question.

He just looked at with a defiant and hateful expression, then bit into a small pill he had previously hidden in his mouth, revealing his bloodied wolf teeth and said resentfully and angrily, "Donald! Your arrogant and foolish reign will be over soon. I will always be waiting for you below... I’ll wait for you to join us, you won’t be smug forever! Ah..."

As Austin spoke, black blood sprayed from his mouth and nostrils. Clark, horrified, quickly grabbed my hand and urgently warned, "He’s poisoned, Your Majesty! Let him go quickly, be careful the poison enters your skin!"

I didn’t really heed Clark’s warnings, just staring intensely at the miserable Austin before .

I never expected Austin, to protect that mysterious and sinister ally behind him, would even disregard his and his sister’s lives!

What vast conspiracy lies behind all this? This question lingered in my mind, and I refused to let go of Austin’s neck for a long ti.

Until he slowly closed his eyes and stopped all breathing.

Seeing the mocking and disdainful smile on Austin’s lips, my heart shook trendously, and beyond that was an unrelenting fury!

"Austin!" I roared his na as if I wanted to devour him alive.

"Your Majesty! Please calm down!"

"Your Majesty... he’s already dead! Can you let go of him now?"

"Austin suddenly died by poisoning in the Eastern Shine Palace. How are we going to explain this to the Windstorm Pack wolves? Wouldn’t they revolt imdiately? Where are all the weapons and supplies they collected earlier? Your Majesty, you need to make plans and decisions quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! We can’t keep being passive, we need to strike first!"

Although I found Clark and the ministers’ voices incredibly noisy, they were sowhat useful!

I cald down amid their exchanges, letting go of Austin’s neck, and after a few heavy breaths, I turned to Simpson, "You are entirely right, the esteed Inspector Simpson! But that’s not the most important issue right now."

Pointing at Austin’s body on the floor, I instructed Clark, "Notify Benjamin and the people from the Holy dical Pavilion, I want them to confirm that all signs of life in Austin have indeed ceased completely!"

"Also, declare to all wolves of the Windstorm Pack that Austin died because he failed to manage the border territories effectively, which led to the Guard Team being ambushed by unknown forces, and that he was brought back to the Royal City for questioning by the patrol team. Put the incident of Angel’s surprise attack on the Guard Team temporarily on his head!"

After entrusting this task, I scanned all the people around and continued to order coldly, "Everyone present today, listen to the order, I do not wish for anyone else to know about this! Violators will be killed! Do you all understand?"

As if intimidated by the imposing presence I projected, the dozen ministers stiffened, and then, as if suddenly realizing, they knelt on one knee in unison, performing a grand salute and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! We are willing to offer our hearts to the Wolf royal family."
