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

Chapter 91: Let Down the Lost Trust _ 1

[Margaret’s Perspective]

I took Elizabeth’s hand and said, “Elizabeth, thank you.”

This was the first time I had thanked Elizabeth so sincerely, but I was really touched at this moment. I added, “Thank you for caring about me and loving me like this.”

“Of course. We’re sisters,” Elizabeth said. She focused on me again, looking me up and down. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”

“How have you been these past two days? Has Armstrong been treating you well?” I asked.

“Everything is fine.”

Elizabeth avoided my eyes as she spoke. She directed her gaze at my sheets. I noticed her unusual reaction. Elizabeth always acted strangely when I mentioned Armstrong, which made me worried about their relationship.

“Are you still living at home these two days?” I asked indirectly.

“Right,” Elizabeth said.

“The pack isn’t safe now. Didn’t Armstrong ask you to move back?” I frowned.

“Anthony will protect me,” Elizabeth said. “Speaking of which, how did you get hurt? When I asked the others, they said they only saw the Lycan King bring you back. No one knew exactly what happened. Others said you came back from the forest. The Lycan King even caught the attacker in the forest. How did you end up in the forest at that time?”

“I, we…” I didn’t know where to start, so I chose to start from the beginning. I started with how Angel gave me the token, how I sneaked out to patrol at night, how I was attacked in the forest, and how Donald and Angel appeared at the same time to save me.

I tried to explain what had happened as succinctly as possible. Finally, I said, “That was when I realized that this was all Angel’s plan. Suddenly, someone attacked me. I couldn’t dodge in time and got injured.”

Elizabeth was looking stunned.

When I recalled everything that happened that night, all the ups and downs felt as unbelievable as a dream. Just when I thought that one thing was over, something new popped up. After repeated twists and turns, I was the only one who ended up injured. It was hard to say if this was luck or misfortune.

“Margaret, you shouldn’t have done that,” Elizabeth accused.

I grimaced. Even Elizabeth knew this was wrong.

I had started to regret what I had done. I did not have the ability to deal with the enemy alone. My choice to go to the forest was just a show of strength. If I really wanted to do something for the pack, I should have been professionally trained before going.

“This was just stupid,” Elizabeth said.

“I know.”

Even though I had done such a thing, Donald was still thinking about me and protecting me. Even Elizabeth was agitated, so I could imagine Donald must be angrier than Elizabeth. However, he showed tolerance and forgiveness, which made me feel even more guilty.

Elizabeth and I talked for a while longer.

I couldn’t put too much pressure on my back yet. I had to straighten my back to prevent it from hurting. After sitting upright for a long time, I felt my body stiffen.

I shifted my position a little to make myself more comfortable. Elizabeth always had a lot to say, but even after she said so much, I didn’t hear what I wanted to know. Who were the people who attacked me in the forest, one after another? Were they all arrested?

It was obviously impossible for me to sneak out now. Donald would definitely send someone to watch me. Besides, I really didn’t want to do anything that might hurt him.

I thought of asking about Armstrong but did not do so. On the one hand, I felt that I shouldn’t get tangled in his relationship with Elizabeth. On the other hand, Donald’s attitude often made me feel that he didn’t like me to have excessive interactions with Armstrong.

Someone knocked on the door. Elizabeth and I both looked up.

Elizabeth looked at me questioningly. I raised my voice and asked,

“Who is it?”

“Miss Margaret, it’s me, Elliot.”

I still had some trouble moving and asked Elizabeth to open the door for Elliot.

Elliot looked surprised to see Elizabeth, but he said politely, “I didn’t expect you to still be here, Luna Elizabeth.”

“I know you. You’re the Lycan who’s always around the Lycan King.” Elizabeth beamed.

“Elliot, is Donald looking for me?” I asked.

“Uh, His Majesty just asked me to check in on you,” Elliot said.

I realized what Elliot had not said. He was here to confirm if I was still in the ward. What I had done previously had indeed betrayed Donald’s trust in me. He had asked Elliot to come over and monitor me personally. I felt a slight blush.

“It’s getting late. Is Luna staying for dinner? What’s your favorite food? I’ll get someone to prepare dinner,” Elliot continued.
