[Donald’s Perspective]

“There’s no need to change the deployment of the frontal battlefield,” I said. “Christian, I want you to take a team to find Margaret’s trail. You have experience dealing with the Mist. I’ll take over your job.”

“Anthony and I can join in,” Armstrong said.

“The Alpha can’t leave the Pack.” I looked at Armstrong. “The Silver Moon Pack needs someone to take charge.”

“I can find Elizabeth by her scent.” Distracted, Armstrong began raking his fingers through his hair.

“No one can smell another werewolf under the Mist, not even the mate,” Christian said. “And the distance between you and the mate won’t affect that. If you can’t feel anything now, you still won’t be able to feel her presence even if she appears to you.

But Your Majesty…” Christian turned his head to me and scratched his head. “I’m not very good at tracking. Eric is much better at this. I’m afraid I won’t be much help in this. I still want to join the front line of the battle. I know every one of my men. I think I can be more useful in battle.”

I looked at him in silence. There was no way I was going to agree to let a young kid and a regular werewolf Pack Beta go looking for my mate. Christian might not be useful in tracking down his opponents, but he could be a leader, and he was someone I could trust.

Someone reliable and good at tracking…

My heart fluttered. A name came to my lips.

I heard Christian say, “If Your Majesty is looking for someone who can lead, I’ve thought of a better candidate—our Beta Elliot. He knows Miss Margaret better than I do, and presumably he can find her faster.”

Yes, Elliot.

He was also the one I thought of.

But Margaret had made it clear to me that she had some reservations about Elliot. I had planned to have a chat with him after the meeting. Now that this had suddenly happened, should I continue to trust him unconditionally?

Things were imminent. There was no time for hesitation.

“Then Elliot, Eric, and Anthony will lead the team. Make sure you bring Margaret and Elizabeth back safely.”

I chose to trust my partner and my instincts.

“Whoever makes up this team, we need more people,” Anthony interjected.

“That’s right. I’ll organize the Pack’s people to gather here.” Armstrong lowered his hand and started to walk to the door. Anthony followed him.

I was about to follow them out when I heard Christian call after me.

“Your Majesty…”

I stopped and turned back to Christian.

“I still think this is more of a setup.”

“That’s not the point anymore,” I said. “Whether this is a trap or not, it could affect our plans.”

“I just wanted to remind you,” Christian said as he approached me. “Before we win, the other side will use this to their advantage. Perhaps Eric will send bad news to shake our determination to fight on. Your Majesty, you can’t leave the battlefield. They just want to scatter our forces.”

Christian had a point. I saw Armstrong stop in front of me at Christian’s words.

“We will not leave this position,” Armstrong snarled at Christian. “But you must also ensure that your men bring my mate back safe and sound!”

“Eric will do everything he can,” Christian said quietly.

“They’ll do it,” I said confidently.

Christian nodded as he followed, and we walked down to the hall.

Anthony had already called some people over. I saw Elliot at the edge of the hall. He was talking to his men, looking very dutiful.

I discarded those bad thoughts. As a leader, the first thing I had to do was trust my own judgment, which was to trust the people around me. They were all hand-picked by me and would definitely be loyal to me.

By the time Anthony had gathered the entire team, several minutes had passed.

Alpha Armstrong had been pacing anxiously beside me. He looked even more nervous than I was.

After Elliot and his group left, Alpha Armstrong’s eyes remained on the backs of the people.

I could totally understand Alpha Armstrong’s feelings, because my feelings were the same as his. I used a lot of self-control to stay here instead of going straight to look for Margaret in the forest.

Even though we had already sent two betas and a good tracker, I knew that my trip to the forest wouldn’t be any better than the three of them now. However, I couldn’t suppress the urge.

Calm down,?I told myself.?We need a more rigorous plan.
