Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 33

[Margaret’s POV]

It was hard to imagine that after hearing that scary voice, I had a rather peaceful dinner with Elizabeth and Anthony.

I still had no choice but to worry about Donald, but I could only wait here.

I had been trying to communicate with Donald telepathically, but there was no reply. I thought they must be busy with something.

I heard Elizabeth and Anthony discussing the Luna ceremony. That should be my job. Now that Anthony was involved, I was not sure if Elizabeth still needed me.

“Do you want to use the little magnolias as a decoration for the main flowers?”

“Everyone seems to use this. I want something more special.”

“Usually there are orchids.”

“What about the lily of the valley?” 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

“That kind of flower is too weak. Its stem is not even strong enough to make a shape.”

“Think of something, Anthony. I don’t want to use little magnolias like everyone else.”

“Yes, what if we change to another flower?”

“…”

Anthony’s patience with Elizabeth never ceased to amaze me. Other than when she was charming men, Elizabeth was not easy to get along with in her daily life.

I think this was also why every boyfriend of hers did not get along with her for long. She was indeed so cute and sexy that men couldn’t handle her, but her temper was also difficult for men to handle.

Most people would have broken up with her after they got to know her better, but not Anthony. Over the years, he was the only one who had been by Elizabeth’s side. He could handle everything about her.

I sized the two of them up. Perhaps they were more suitable as partners.

This thought came so naturally that it shocked me. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

I thought of Anthony, whom I had seen outside Armstrong’s office.?How much had he heard?

Anthony noticed my gaze and looked up to smile at me.

I felt that I did not dislike Anthony so much now. Now that I thought about it, my previous dislike of him made no sense. After Donald and I became partners, all my hostility had faded. Donald had really made me a better person toward Armstrong, Elizabeth, and Anthony.

“We’re coming back soon. Stay where you are.”

I finally received Donald’s reply.?They’re coming back?

“What happened?

Are you alright?

I’m worried about you.”

I said in succession.

“Armstrong will explain to you. I’m fine.”

Why did Armstrong have to explain? Will Donald come back with me? Why didn’t he mention me at all??I felt uneasy.

I saw that Anthony’s expression had become serious too. I guessed that he had also communicated with Armstrong through mind-link. He must know more. My gaze met Anthony’s. We had strangely reached an agreement on one thing—not to tell Elizabeth yet.

However, Elizabeth noticed the unusual atmosphere and glanced at the two of us.

“What’s wrong with you guys? Hey, Armstrong, you’re back!”

I turned to look at the door and saw Armstrong striding in. He looked at us with indescribable gloom and grief. Some people were following him, including a few from the werewolf royal family, but I did not see Donald.

Anthony had already stood up and walked over to Armstrong to whisper to him.

“Armstrong, did something happen? I’ve been worried about you,” Elizabeth said in a sweet voice that was only for her mate.

“I’m fine.” Armstrong hugged Elizabeth, his actions perfunctory.

Armstrong walked to the front. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

“I’m here to deliver a somber announcement. During our daily patrol, one of our champions was attacked unexpectedly and we lost a young member permanently. His name is Colin Swarth.”

I heard everyone in the cafeteria gasp.

I was also stunned. We were really attacked and someone died because of it!

Something terrible had really happened with that scream!

“This is extremely unfortunate. As the Alpha of the Pack, I guarantee that we will definitely investigate with all our might and not let the murderer off. Now, I request everyone in the tribe, the old and the children, to stay in the camp and not go out without permission. All adults will participate in the training to protect themselves. We will add additional patrols to ensure the safety of everyone in the camp.”

I finally saw Donald at the door, followed by Elliot.

I noticed anger and fatigue in his expression. Then his eyes met mine.

Unable to contain my fear and worry any longer, I jumped up from my seat and ran in Donald’s direction.
