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

Chapter 41: A Strange and Distant Address

[Donald’s Perspective]

I noticed Margaret’s disappointed look. At the same time, I noticed that Armstrong’s gaze was fixed on Margaret.

She clearly knew that she would be the future queen of the Lycan King, but she walked in openly holding another man’s hand. And I, her true mate, was standing not far from her with my subordinates behind me.

She did not seem to have any intention of walking over to me to explain and even wanted me to walk over to make her stay. Did she have any self-awareness as the future queen of the Lycan King? Did she consider my dignity as the Lycan King?

Not to mention that she was missing for the entire afternoon. I had clearly told her to stay in the house obediently, but she wandered around without telling anyone. This made me uneasy all afternoon.

There was always a problem with my communication with Margaret. The issues we cared about always seemed different. We clearly loved each other deeply, but the current situation made me feel terrible. I did not want to control Margaret completely, but I would never accept that her safety was not entirely under my control. She cared about too many things. Our conflict would be better managed if she could put her own safety before everything at some point.

Oh no, we still had to explain to each other about Angel and Armstrong. Angel and I were done long ago. As for her and Armstrong, it was best if there was nothing going on.

I glanced over at the two of them, trying to steady my nerves. My subordinates were still here. I couldn’t do anything demeaning.

If I was true to my heart, I would like to hug Margaret now. She must be feeling sad because of Angel’s words, but what Angel said was not true. I should bring her back to the house to explain things to her and comfort her. Perhaps I should touch her body again and feel her scent from the inside out. My anxiety in the afternoon seemed to have turned into desire for Margaret at this moment. Just thinking about it made my body heat up.

But I was the Lycan King, so I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t let my subordinates think that I was a man who cared only about personal matters and not about business. They wouldn’t support a King like that sincerely.

I couldn’t even reprimand Angel to her face. Although her actions were clearly out of line, she was the commander of the assault team. Damn it, I did not know what tactics she used to become the commander of the team! The assault team was about to carry out an important mission. I could not reprimand their commander before that. It would obviously affect their morale. Moreover, I could not do anything about Angel before new people were sent.

However, Margaret was the only one who felt wronged.

“Angel!” I hissed as a warning.

Only then did I realize that Angel was still pressed against my side, holding my arm. I wanted to shake off her hand, but she pressed herself even closer to me. Angel was such a difficult woman. I quietly elbowed her. I heard her grunt before she finally took a few steps back. I really hoped that she knew that I already had a mate and that our past was long over.

“Aiya, Donald, you’re so strong that you’re hurting me,” Angel said sweetly.

I glared at her coldly, knowing that she was pretending.

I really didn’t understand how she became the commander of an assault team.

“Don’t look at me like that. I miss you too.”

Angel winked at me and gave what she thought was a sexy smile, but I only felt annoyed.

Before Margaret appeared, Angel did not have these exaggerated words and actions. Everything she was doing now was just to provoke Margaret in a situation that I could not talk about. Angel thought she was very smart, but she forgot that provoking the queen of the Lycan King was equivalent to provoking the Lycan King. She would not win anything other than my disgust.

But I discovered to my dismay that her goal had been fully realized with Margaret.

I turned to Margaret. Her head was bowed. I couldn’t see her expression from my angle, but I saw her hand gripping the corner of her clothes, a small gesture she made when she was nervous. Angel’s words and actions had undoubtedly affected her greatly, and my heart ached for her.

“I wish to return to my room. May I, noble Lycan King?” Margaret murmured.

She had never called me Lycan King! From the first day we met, she had started calling me Donald. It seemed to be natural. However, the unfamiliar way she addressed me now made me feel distant. She must be heartbroken. Why was I the one who hurt her like this? I had always wanted to protect her. A huge sense of helplessness rose in my heart.

I stood rooted to the ground, speechless.
