Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 194 - Going Back on Her Word

[Margaret’s Perspective]

Back then, it was like this when we were in human form. Now, it was even more so when we were in wolf form.

The most important thing Elliot had taught me about werewolf combat was to learn to fight with your body.

A werewolf’s body was a werewolf’s weapon. It was more aggressive than a human’s and would use its abilities reasonably to defeat its opponent. This was the biggest difference between a wolf and a human in combat.

Due to our larger size when we were in wolf form, the wolf form was more suitable for close combat than skin-to-skin combat. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Close combat could give us more room to use our claws, tails, and teeth. It was also because our limbs were shorter than when we were in human form. When we were completely close to our opponents, the weapons in our bodies would lose the space necessary for their use.

With that in mind, I gave up on jumping to the side before Angel’s next attack. Instead, I adjusted my posture slightly and sold her a flaw. I saw a smug look flash in Angel’s eyes. I panted on the side and pretended to be powerless.

Angel thought that I no longer had the strength to hold on, and that my position would allow her to maul my shoulder. She swung her claws down without hesitation.

Suddenly, I raised my head and looked straight at Angel. I let out a roar.

Angel was shocked by my actions. She had been extremely cautious during the battle and instinctively thought that I had a back-up move. The claws that were about to strike down from midair stopped for a moment.

Of course, I wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. I, who had been conserving my strength for a long time, kicked the ground with my hind legs and pounced at Angel.

Angel’s sharp claws were still aimed at my shoulder. She thought I would retreat in fear of being injured, but I met her attack directly in midair. As her front claws dug into my shoulder, my outstretched limbs locked tightly around Angel’s front limbs while I wrapped my lower limbs around her hind legs.

I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. My mind blurred for a moment, but I knew that I couldn’t let go at this time. If I did, all my previous efforts would be in vain.

I clenched my teeth and forced myself to stay awake in it. The initial wave of pain in the shoulder had become a long and sharp pain, but it wasn’t like the initial pain that made me want to faint. Only then was I able to observe my and Angel’s condition again.

Angel and I were in a huddle on the ground. My forepaws went under her forelimbs and then wrapped around her neck. One of her forepaws had just been pulled out of my shoulder. It was still stained with my blood. Both her limbs were waving in the air now. My lower limbs were intertwined with Angel’s. I wrapped my limbs around her body and she kicked against my abdomen. Neither of us could do anything further. We could only stalemate the situation.

Angel’s eyes were fierce as she bared her fangs and tried to bite the wound on my shoulder.

I tilted my neck back to avoid her attack. This posture inevitably affected the wound on my shoulder again. My grimacing action was like another provocation in Angel’s eyes. Her front claws hooked fiercely at my face.

Fortunately, in a moment of desperation, I had already used my limbs to firmly hold Angel’s body. Her route of force was blocked, and she could only hang in midair, unable to move an inch forward.

I couldn’t completely subdue her, but as long as I prevented her from attacking me and gave myself some time to catch my breath, that was enough.

“You b*tch!” Angel cursed.

Angel and I were so close now that I could feel the vibrations in her chest. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

“If you want to kill me and get Donald, I won’t let you get away with it,” I replied.

“Hmph, do you think I can’t do anything about it?” Angel snorted, and her eyes burst with even more murderous intent.

“If you have the ability, break free from me!” I growled while breathing heavily.

At this moment, I felt a wolf claw that was tightly holding Angel’s body loosen. I looked down and saw that Angel had actually shifted again. She had changed from wolf to human. Her human body was much smaller than a wolf’s. She was about to break free from under me.

Previously, she was the one who said that she wanted to fight in wolf form. Now, she was the one who went back on her word.

I couldn’t care less about my anger. I struggled for a second between fighting the human Angel in wolf form and in human form. I quickly chose to shift with her.

There was no other reason. My stamina couldn’t last long in wolf form.

The wolf form would consume a lot of my stamina. Although I would have some advantage fighting Angel in human form while I retained my wolf form, Angel was very agile. Once my stamina ran out and Angel escaped my control, I would quickly be exhausted and defeated. Or if Angel changed back into wolf form then, she could directly tear me apart.

A werewolf’s shift took a certain amount of time, and just changing our physical form didn’t affect our posture.
