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

Chapter 25: Ambiguous Confession _ 1

[Margaret’s POV]

Armstrong’s sudden confession mades it difficult for me to think.

“No, this is wrong.”

I couldn’t even tell if he was telling the truth. If he really loved me as he said, how could he watch me suffer and be unmoved? He knew I cared about this, but he still asked me to help Elizabeth prepare the ceremony. Was this his love for me?

And he only told me this after I became partners with Donald. Did Armstrong love me or was he uneasy about me becoming partners with Donald? Did my becoming partners with the Lycan King challenge his self-esteem?

I didn’t want to speculate about Armstrong, but I couldn’t trust him, let alone question him.

“I know that’s not right, but I still want to tell you. After all, we were so in love, right?”

Armstrong took my hand without going any further.

“We used to be so compatible, talking about everything. I wouldn’t hide anything from you, you remember.”

“Life has to move forward. I have Donald, and you have Elizabeth. It’s time to let go of the past.”

I was not moved by what Armstrong said about the past. From the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I had been trying to cut Armstrong out of my emotional world. If he had told me these things then, our relationship might have been salvageable.

But he didn’t. From the moment Donald and I became partners, Armstrong was completely out of my world. I still had feelings for him, of course, but it was definitely not love.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Before we could say anything, someone outside walked in. It was Anthony.

“Alpha, oh, you guys…”

Anthony stopped short when he saw our faces. Armstrong was still holding my hand as we stood together at the table. The scene looked a little odd.

I quickly pulled my hand back.

“Margaret, why are you here?” Anthony asked.

“Uh…”

“I asked her to come,” said Armstrong.

“I wanted to talk to Alpha about my sister,” I said.

Anthony’s eyes darted between me and Armstrong.

“Who initiated the talk?”

“We both wanted to talk to each other,” I replied quickly. “Now that we’re done, I’m leaving.”

I felt his eyes on my back, but I just wanted to get out of here. I hoped Anthony hadn’t heard the ridiculous things Armstrong said earlier. I was afraid if he did, he’d tell Elizabeth.

I had experienced the sadness of being betrayed by my own sister. I didn’t want this to happen to Elizabeth too. If there was anything wrong with their relationship, it should be their own conflict, not mine.

I felt the surge of love for Donald in my chest. I walked quickly to his room. Now I desperately wanted to see Donald.

[Donald’s Perspective]

I noticed Margaret’s obvious disappointment. She was like a dejected puppy. Strictly speaking, she was a little female wolf. Her lowered head made her eyes look even bigger. Her amber pupils were like gentle dusk.

“Stay, please.”

I heard her pleading voice and couldn’t help but lean in to kiss her again. Why did I come to her?

Damn it, I always lost my mind in front of her. I kept wanting to kiss and touch her, and I couldn’t think of anything else. I wanted to have a good talk with her, but she always charmed me with her seductive scent.

I had to restrain myself from being controlled by her.

“Put on your clothes and wait for me in the room tonight, alright?”

I heard my own voice. I didn’t know why I said that. She was just under me. Her skin was a cute pink color, and her jeans were hanging off her pale thighs. I just had to give a little tug and she would be in full view, letting me do what I wanted to do.

What the f*ck was I doing? I couldn’t believe I was putting her jeans back on.

I scowled, disappointed in myself.

I had received very important news. I had to go and deal with it immediately, I told myself repeatedly.

At that moment, I hated my status as the Lycan King. Why did I have to be the Lycan King and have so many responsibilities that I had no choice but to take on? I couldn’t even have a good time with my mate. I would definitely be back tonight. No one could disturb us anymore.
