Chapter 79: An Amiable Friend
[Margaret’s Perspective]
I didn’t want to talk to Angel anymore. She looked like she was just here to taunt . I wanted to walk around her and leave, but she took a step in the sa direction and stood in front of .
“What else do you want?” I asked with so anger.
“I just wanted to remind you,” Angel said, lowering her voice. “Don’t forget our agreent. I’ve already made arrangents. Tonight. At the forest entrance at eleven.”
I looked at her steadily.
Angel had already taken a step back. She was still looking at with her charming smile. She said, “If you go back on your word, it’s not too late. But you don’t have to get any registration form. Just stay in the house. Donald will protect you. Co on, give back my things.”
Angel reached out to . I was silent for a mont. Then I reached into my pocket.
I saw the contemptuous smile on Angel’s face deepen. Suddenly, I reached out and knocked her hand away. “I won’t go back on my word,” she said. “I’ll see you tonight.”
I caught the montary look of shock on Angel’s face. I finally felt like I had won a small ga against Angel.
“Good.” Angel finally dropped the smile she’d been wearing and revealed her true self, fierce and arrogant.
“I’ll let you know what happens when you take sothing that doesn’t belong to you.”
Angel turned to leave. Her last words sounded strange to .
What was it that didn’t belong to ? It looked like she was talking about Donald, but it was strange to use the word “thing” to describe Donald. Although it matched Angel’s usual arrogant personality, it still felt a little strange. In this case, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use “person”? Or maybe she wasn’t talking about Donald, but sothing else.
I was still thinking when I felt a blow on one shoulder.
I instinctively returned fire, but a strong arm grabbed .
I turned back to see a surprised Elizabeth and an embarrassed Anthony. Elizabeth’s hand was still in mid-air. Anthony was holding my arm in one hand and a stack of registration forms in the other.
It was obvious what had just happened.
Elizabeth ca to pat my shoulder. When I returned fire, Anthony instinctively shielded Elizabeth.
I glared at Anthony, who sheepishly let go of my hand.
Their relationship with Armstrong was really puzzling.
Anthony was always so protective of Elizabeth, but judging from Armstrong’s attitude today, he was obviously still treating Elizabeth as Luna.
“Who were you chatting with?” Elizabeth asked.
“Angel. You t her in the forest yesterday,” I explained.
I saw Elizabeth tremble again when she heard about the forest. I began to wonder what she had experienced with Armstrong in the forest yesterday. She was still afraid of the forest.
“So it’s her. She doesn’t look as scary as she did yesterday. She’s quite friendly,” Elizabeth muttered.
I did a giant ntal eye roll.
Friendly? Elizabeth’s habit of judging a book by its cover hasn’t changed at all. Soone like her who wants to beco our Pack’s Luna is really our Pack’s headache.
“If you’re leaving with the Lycan King, maybe you can be friends? She ca to talk to just now. She’s quite friendly.”
I looked at Elizabeth speechlessly and gave up on communicating with her.
I looked at Anthony and held out my hand to him. “Give a registration form.”
But Anthony shook his head at and said, “You don’t need to patrol.”
“What?” I couldn’t believe I was hearing that from Anthony, too.
“The Alpha explained that neither you nor Elizabeth needed to patrol,” Anthony said.
Armstrong treated like this too? I glanced at Elizabeth. It was normal for Armstrong not to let Elizabeth patrol. She couldn’t do anything. It was more appropriate for her to stay at ho. However, Armstrong should know that I was capable of doing this.
“Stop fooling around. Give it to . I can do this,” I insisted.
“No, that’s an order.”
I glared at Anthony. He t my eyes innocently.
I was really defeated. These n! Damn them.
“Fine, I won’t go,” I said miserably.
Elizabeth looked at Anthony and then at . She said to in confusion, “Why are you going on patrol? Isn’t it good that Alpha doesn’t want you to go? Don’t forget that you have to help hold the Luna’s inauguration.”
Ah! I had almost forgotten about that. Who could care about that ritual at such an urgent mont?
But Elizabeth was still talking about herself. “Maybe you and the Lycan King should hold one too. I an, yours is different from mine and Armstrong’s. You must have to go back with him to hold the formal ceremony, but you t here after all, and this is very important to you. We can do it together, and then the Lycan King can attend my ceremony. What do you think?”
