Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Extraordinary aning

[Margaret’s Perspective]

Donald put his hand on my lips. I noticed that he always liked to do that, but he quickly moved his hand away and rubbed the back of my neck repeatedly.

“We have a eting this afternoon,” I said quietly.

“I know.”

I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned against him. We held each other quietly for a while.

We never spent enough ti together. I thought about what Donald had said about not wanting our wolves to et. I had to admit that his words made sense. We weren’t like other mates who always had a lot of ti to spend together. Donald had too many responsibilities on his shoulders, and so did I. Although my strength was ager, I always wanted to do my part.

“I have sothing to tell you.”

I raised my eyes to Donald. He rarely spoke to in such a tone.

“Do you rember what I said before about bringing you back to the royal family?” Donald said.

I nodded. Donald had told about it the first night we t. I rembered being shocked by it. And just two days ago, we’d argued about it.

“I told you that I would make sure you were safe, but now that I’m at the Silver Moon Tribe, I’m beginning to doubt it.” Donald’s tone was very slow and cautious. He looked at seriously. I held my breath. I could guess what he might say to .

“No, Donald…” I tightened my grip on his hand.

“Margaret, listen to .” Donald stroked my back soothingly. “Your safety is the most important thing to . I don’t want to worry every day about losing you forever.”

“Do you want to leave here now?” I asked.

“I do want to do that,” Donald said.

I looked at Donald, trying to see if he was joking or just saying it casually. But no, his eyes were filled with his usual steady expression. Donald was not a person who liked to joke about such things. I knew that he ant what he said. He just wanted to send away.

“How can I leave my pack at this ti? My ho is here. Everyone I know is here. What about my sister, Elizabeth?” I said incoherently.

“I can send you and Elizabeth away together,” Donald said.

“What about Armstrong?” I blurted out.

I saw Donald’s eyebrows twitch twice. He was obviously unhappy.

“He’s your pack’s Alpha. Of course he won’t leave. Do you still care where he goes?” Donald’s tone was a little dangerous.

“I don’t care. I just thought of Elizabeth…” I shook his arm ingratiatingly and tried to salvage the situation. “What about you? Where will you be?”

“I’ll stay here for the ti being until the attacks are completely resolved.”

“You know I can’t accept this,” I said to Donald. “I’ll only be with you. If you leave, I’ll leave with you. If you’re here, I’ll stay here with you.”

I saw Donald’s expression change and added, “I can’t leave you now. I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Although my words were a little flattering, I was completely sincere. I could no longer imagine my life without Donald. Just as he was afraid of losing , I was also afraid of losing him.

I couldn’t go to a safe place alone and leave him behind in a place where he could be in danger at any ti. Donald had been added to the list of people and things that tied down, and his place in my heart was beginning to be more important than any other person or thing.

“Fine,” Donald said.

I looked at Donald in surprise. I didn’t expect him to be so easily convinced. Last ti, we almost parted on bad terms over this problem. In the end, we had to settle it by arguing in bed. I thought it would be the sa this ti.

“I knew you wouldn’t agree easily.” Donald smiled and combed my ssy hair with his fingers. “So I thought of another way to make it easier for both of us.”

“What’s that?” I asked.

“We will proceed to mark.”

My eyes widened as I covered my mouth with my hand and looked at Donald in a daze.

The mark’s significance was extraordinary.

If a werewolf asked if you wanted to mark with him, it was the equivalent of a proposal.

I had looked forward to spending the future with Donald, but I didn’t expect him to ntion the mark to so quickly.

I believed that we would co together. Every day, I felt that I needed Donald more than the day before. I thought that I had already decided on him in my life. But we had only known each other for less than half a month. He was the Lycan King. Had Donald really thought about being with for the rest of his life?

I even imagined we would encounter opposition from his family and others, causing us to not be able to mark. I felt that none of this was important when I conceived these thoughts. Even if we did not have a mark, we would still be partners for life.
