Chapter 11: Unexpected Imprisonment _ 1
[Margaret’s POV]
It was common for werewolves to choose to live with their mates, but I had never thought that I would marry the Wolf King and naturally never thought that I would leave the pack.
In the past, I had always thought that I would marry Armstrong and become the Luna of the tribe. I even fantasized about giving birth to a bunch of wolf cubs and living with them. Later, when Armstrong and Elizabeth became mates, all my thoughts about marriage disappeared. I thought that I would marry a certain Beta of the tribe, but I would not leave this place.
But now, my mate was the Wolf King.?Should I live with him? Follow him to a place I don’t know, surrounded by people I don’t know??I wondered.
Instinctively, the thought of such a future made me panicky.?I have my parents and sister. What will happen to Elizabeth? She won’t do anything to be a Luna. She still needs my help with the race.
What should I do about my tribe??I wondered. Armstrong had just said that there was a situation that needed to be guarded. If I left with Donald and someone came to invade our place, I could do nothing. I could not tolerate that.
I looked at Donald in confusion. He kissed the corner of my mouth as if he knew what I was thinking. “You don’t have to worry so much. I’ll stay here for a while. Now I’m going to go discuss something with your Alpha. Stay here and don’t go out, okay?”
I nodded automatically. I was willing to do whatever Donald wanted me to do.
I watched Donald leave and fell weakly onto the bed.
Everything happened so quickly tonight. I needed time to sort myself out.
When Donald told me just now that he would make me his wolf queen, I was puzzled by the concept. If it had in the past, I might have been lost in pure joy. But after what happened with Armstrong and Elizabeth, I doubted all promises.
Armstrong had also promised me that I would become the Luna of the tribe, but he followed his instincts and chose Elizabeth as his mate.?Then will my instinct to become mates with Donald be enough to support us??I wondered.
With Donald’s power, status, physique, and looks, he should have countless sexy and beautiful female werewolves by his side.?What’s so special about me??I thought. The Silvermoon Wolf Tribe I belonged to was just a small tribe. Usually, we didn’t even have the right to meet the royal family. They were royalty after all!
Frustrated, I searched for my phone to contact Elizabeth and ask her how she was doing. She must have had a big shock tonight. Although she was my annoying sister, we were family after all. If there was a problem, I would be the first to think of her.
His phone rang for a long time but no one picked up.
I dug my laptop out of my bag and tried to find something else to distract me. I saw the documents that Anthony had sent me previously on the computer desktop and remembered that we had discussed setting up a patrol squad. My proposal was ready, but now that Armstrong was back, it was probably redundant.
But perhaps I can go back and take a look at the situation first??I thought.
As soon as the thought hit me, it invaded my mind quickly. I didn’t know how long it would take Donald and Armstrong to discuss things. I couldn’t stay here and wait for him. That would be stupid.
Elizabeth should still be with Anthony now. I thought I could head home and look for them. I planned to give Anthony the proposal and discuss it with Elizabeth again.
The Wolf King’s residence was not far from my house. I could go home and change my clothes while I was at it. My current outfit was really terrible.
Having made up my mind, I headed for the door. To my surprise, two werewolves were standing outside. They stopped me.
“I just want to go home. I want to see my sister, Elizabeth,” I explained to them.
“The Wolf King said that the person inside is not allowed to go out,” one of the werewolves answered.
“I won’t be gone long. I’ll be back.”
“You can’t.”
I couldn’t believe Donald had dared to imprison me like this. This was my tribe, this was my home. He actually restricted my freedom.
“You can’t do this.” I tried to reason with them. “This behavior is completely unreasonable.”
Now neither of them could be bothered with me. They just dutifully refused to let me out.
As it happened, I saw a familiar figure. It was the burly, curly-haired man. Donald seemed to have mentioned just now that his name was Elliot.
“Elliot!” I called.
Elliot turned around and looked at me in surprise.
“Are you calling me?”
“Yeah.” I explained the situation to him, stating that I wanted to go out and emphasizing that I would definitely be back.
Elliot listened to me patiently. “If the Wolf King told you to stay here, then you’d better.”
I felt that I was wasting my breath with him. I didn’t understand why I had to stay here.?I’m not a prisoner!?I thought.
“But…” I said indignantly.
“We can only abide by the L King’s orders. Forgive me for being powerless.”
