Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Isolated and Helpless

[Elizabeth’s Perspective]

It was very inconvenient for to walk in the forest in these high heels. When we walked over just now, I complained to Anthony that I wanted to go back. He kept pulling , which was why I walked so far. Armstrong was taking big strides in front, so it was very hard for to keep up with him. The distance between us grew.

I looked at his back and gave up trying to catch up with him. Armstrong wouldn’t leave here. Since he had brought here, he had to find a way to bring out.

I stopped to rest by the side of the path. I decided that when he asked again, I would tell him that I was going back. Anyway, this wasn’t the first day Armstrong knew that I was delicate. He should understand that I couldn’t beco Margaret.

I rested where I was for dozens of seconds. Then, to my horror, I realized that I had lost sight of Armstrong.

The forest was densely packed with trees. If I walked more than ten ters, I would be surrounded by trees. I sat where I was, a little afraid, and thought about the attack Margaret had ntioned. Night had already fallen. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the foliage onto my white ankles.

I thought,?I wouldn’t be so unlucky as to be targeted by soone with ill intentions on my first visit to the forest, would I?

I was already regretting coming out this evening. I felt that it was a mistake for to listen to Margaret and participate in any training that afternoon. I should have stayed in my house. I should have been in a hot bath at this ti, not sitting alone in the dark and dangerous forest, feeling afraid.

“Armstrong…” I called Armstrong’s na.

It had been such a short while, so he wouldn’t have gone far. If he discovered that I was missing, he would have co back to look for .

Anthony and I didn’t bring our phones with us when we ca out. I didn’t think we would be separated.

I tried to use my Mindlink to contact Armstrong, but I realized that I couldn’t do it at all. For the first ti, I felt isolated and helpless.

Where’s Armstrong? Why hasn’t he co back for ?

Although I couldn’t contact him, I could receive the news he sent .?Doesn’t he realize that I’ve disappeared? Why doesn’t he use his Mindlink to contact …

I didn’t know how long I waited. I felt thirsty and hungry. I even began to suspect that Armstrong had deliberately brought here to abandon .?Could he have gone back?

But what good would that do? I didn’t annoy him in any way. Or perhaps he had already seen that sothing was wrong between Anthony and , but what right did he have to do this? What happened between him and Margaret had never really passed, but did I say anything about it?

Just when I thought I was going to stay here until the next morning, I heard footsteps nearby.

“Armstrong?” I asked tentatively.

But there was no answer. I felt my blood run cold. In such a dark forest, a sudden unknown noise was really alarming. I looked around warily.

However, I didn’t have any experience facing the enemy. I could only circle around. I didn’t have any weapons on . If soone really attacked , all I could do was wait for death.

“Armstrong? Armstrong! Where are you? Save !”

Unable to contain my fear, I started shouting.

No one ca. The footsteps did not fade.

My heart pounded like a drum against my heart. Will I die here?

The thought ca to and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I felt the footsteps getting closer. It was sumr, but my hands and feet turned cold and my mind was blank.

Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around . I felt my body being shaken.

After a while, I ca back to my senses and saw Armstrong’s grim face.

“You’re finally here,” I said in a daze.

“What happened to you?” Armstrong asked, frowning.

I hugged Armstrong tightly, as if I could get so assurance from him that I was still alive.

Armstrong pried my hands away. I saw him look carefully at my face. I wanted to kiss him, but he blocked with his hand and asked, “What happened to you?”

My tears fell uncontrollably. “I was so scared,” I whimpered. “I heard footsteps just now. I thought I was going to die.”

“There’s no one around you.”

“How did you know?” I was still sobbing.

“I’d checked this area. I made sure there was no one before I went away.”

“What did you say!”

I looked at Armstrong in shock. He already knew I was here, but he still left behind?!

“I noticed that sothing was wrong on the other side just now. Your side was safe, so I went over to check on the situation over there,” Armstrong said. “I think if there was really a problem, you would have contacted with your Mindlink.”
