Chapter 85: Continuous Attacks
[Donald’s Perspective]
“So, you planned all this?” I tightened my grip on Margaret’s hand and my voice turned completely cold.
I wasn’t too surprised to see Angel here earlier.
On the way here, I had a question. Angel was not without her wits. Why had she dared to leave Margaret alone in the forest late at night?
Right now, the entire pack was in a state of high tension. If Margaret was really in danger or sothing happened to her, she knew that I would definitely find out about her. When that happened, what would she rely on to get away? Or did she really have the guts to provoke like this?
It was because of this speculation that I was certain that even if sothing happened to Margaret, her life would not be in danger. Because Angel would not dare to do that.
I wasn’t wrong about that. Angel’s appearance just now was enough to prove that even if I hadn’t pounced on the attacker, she would have been able to save Margaret. However, I never expected that Angel would dare to use Margaret as bait. She was betting on the life of the future queen of the Lycans!
Angel’s words had explained everything. She must have had so news and guessed that the enemy might attack tonight.
So she had deliberately lured Margaret to the forest, leaving her alone without any ans of protection or help. She had expected Margaret to be attacked, and that was what she had waited for and needed.
Angel squinted at . Her smug expression faded.
Our gazes locked in mid-air.
“So what if I am?” Angel said. “I caught the enemy. That’s my duty. I did it better than anyone.”
“You might have let an innocent person die.” I was angry and disappointed at what Angel had done. There were many ways we could achieve our goal, but there shouldn’t be any that required us to hurt our companions.
Angel glanced at Margaret beside and said, “Isn’t she fine?”
“She’s the future Lycan Queen, but you almost killed her!” I roared angrily at Angel.
The anger had been bottled up in my chest all night.
My Mate almost had her neck torn off in front of , but Angel, as the instigator, didn’t look guilty at all. It was as if everything she did was out of duty or on purpose.
As for Margaret, I still hadn’t heard her say sorry to . Did she know the consequences of her actions?!
If I’d co a little later tonight, if Angel hadn’t acted so promptly, she would have died here. Could Margaret be a little more responsible for her life?!
“Why are you yelling at ?” Angel couldn’t keep a straight face anymore. “At the end of the day, it’s just… be careful!”
“Donald!”
Before I heard the exclamation, I felt a sharp wind coming from my upper left.
I could have dodged. Thinking of Margaret behind , I raised my arm and quickly turned it into a wolf claw, preparing to take the attack head-on. From the strength I had estimated from the wind speed, it was at most a superficial wound. If I could block the other party for a mont, I was confident that I could subdue him with my other hand.
This person actually dared to attack alone. He was really crazy.
But what I never expected was that just as I was about to et that blow, Margaret suddenly rushed up from behind and collided with it.
The force of the other party’s attack slamd Margaret into my arms. I saw a huge wound on Margaret’s back. Her flesh was ripped and blood was flowing out.
“Margaret…” I didn’t dare turn her body rashly. I could only place her on my knee and ask gently, “How are you?”
“I’m… a little dizzy,” Margaret said weakly.
I saw her face turn pale and my heart ached.
“Why are you doing this? I’ll be fine. What are you going to do now!?”
“I saw soone trying to attack you. Instinctively, I did it.” Margaret gave a strained smile. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Even though I had a thousand complaints about Margaret—her rash actions and her self-righteousness—I couldn’t bring myself to say them to her at this mont.
I looked deep into her eyes, unable to hide my anxiety and worry. “Stop talking.”
I tried to calm her. “Just hold on a little longer. You’ll be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
