Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 21

[Donald’s POV]

After parting reluctantly with Margaret that morning, I went to see Armstrong.

He looked even more haggard than he did the night before. Perhaps he had been busy all night and had not slept. He was a dutiful Alpha and cared for his pack. I admired him. I might have admired him more if nothing had happened between him and Margaret.

“I’ve redesigned the patrol of the tribe in the forest. We’ve doubled the manpower and shifts. We haven’t found anyone suspicious,” said Armstrong.

I nodded. “I’ve already sent word to the royal family to be on the alert for any unusual activity. They’ll send a dozen people to support us. They’ll be here in a few days.”

“More than ten?” Armstrong frowned. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

“These people are enough.”

I glanced at Armstrong but didn’t elaborate. These ten or so people were an assault team, one of my best forces.

The combat power of each of them was not something that ordinary warriors could compare with. Most importantly, they completely obeyed my deployment and orders. Many people in the royal family did not even know of their existence. They could obtain information about the enemy as quickly as possible, learn about their strategy, and even destroy the enemy directly.

“Lycan King, I don’t mean to offend you, but if the enemy really launches a large-scale attack, I’m afraid the people of my pack won’t be able to withstand it.”

“If necessary, I will send more people. But as long as possible, I will avoid a war here. You should not suffer any casualties in battle.”

Elliot walked in and reported, “Lycan King, we have news.”

Starry Sky Tribe??When our people expanded the patrol area, we met people from the Starry Sky Tribe. They were timid and suspicious. They were not here to communicate with other tribes or to trade. But they looked very weak. They were definitely not from the werewolf royal family.

I handed the information to Armstrong and asked, “Do you know about this pack?”

“I’ve never heard of such them. This is not a tribe nearby.”

Is it just a coincidence that a new pack has appeared in our patrol range at this time??I thought.

I ordered calmly, “Investigate and see what they do.”

“Yes, Lycan King.”

“Also, your partner went out with her sister this morning.”

I heard Elliot speaking to me telepathically.

I was not happy when I heard the news, even if it was with my permission. I knew that Margaret was worried about her sister, and that I had asked her sister to deliver something to Margaret.

But Margaret left just like that. Leaving our room was not what I expected to see. I wanted to see her stay at our house, every moment, waiting expectantly for me.

“Did our people follow her?”

“They did.”

This made me feel better. My mate was still within my grasp. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

“Where is she now?”

In her own home.

I didn’t maintain my communication of thoughts with Elliot anymore. I turned to Armstrong and said, “When my people find out something, I’ll let you know. We’ll come back for a meeting.”

I asked Elliot to lead the way to Margaret’s house.

It was just one morning, but I was already missing her scent like crazy.

Even though I knew that the tribal matters were urgent and that the attacks wouldn’t stop, that there were too many things to deal with, I couldn’t control my emotions. I tried to find time to hug Margaret and be with her at every opportunity.

I heard Margaret’s voice before I reached her house.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Elizabeth.”

“If you think Donald is bad, you can consider Anthony. I know you had ties with Armstrong previously… but Anthony is a good person.”

It was her sister, Luna Elizabeth. Now I heard my name.

Also, Armstrong.?Anthony, who is that??I wondered.

“I think you two had a good chat. You had a lot in common before,” I heard Elizabeth say.

I didn’t like Elizabeth’s tone, and I didn’t like hearing Margaret’s name put together with other men. I knew it was irrational. It was not good to be jealous, but I was really angry about it.

I let Elliott leave first. I was still angry even now at the way Margaret used to look at Elliott. Damn it, I really didn’t want anyone to see her. I didn’t want her to leave that room.

I did my best to control my emotions as I walked in. Then I saw a man setting plates on the table.?Is that Anthony??I thought. I narrowed my eyes, then saw Margaret and Elizabeth on the side. They looked surprised, as if they did not expect me to be here.
