Chapter 126: Do You Think So Too?
[Margaret’s Perspective]
After Elliot left without a word, I saw Elizabeth look strangely at his departing back.
“What happened to him?” Elizabeth asked.
I didn’t know how to answer Elizabeth. What Elliot had just done to me was completely unexpected. In my mind, Elliot wasn’t like that. He shouldn’t have said such rude things to me and acted so abruptly.
I wanted to tell Donald what Elliot did to me, but I was a little afraid of what Donald would do to Elliot.
His attitude toward Angel more or less frightened me. In any case, Elliot was a good person in my heart, and he was Donald’s right-hand man. I didn’t want Donald to lose his beta because of me. Something must have happened to Elliot, but from my perspective, I couldn’t ask him or anyone else.
I scratched my head irritably and began to change the subject. “What did you say you were going to do?” I asked.
“Margaret!” Elizabeth shouted, staring at me with round eyes.
I sighed. “Do you still want to know about Angel?”
Elizabeth looked nervous again. She grabbed my arm to check and tried to lift my shirt to look. I stopped her quickly.
“Are you physically okay?” Elizabeth asked with a frown. “When I came back, I saw the two of you rolling on the ground together. It looked intense. Then she threw you out. Why would you think to fight her? You’re definitely not her match.”
Elizabeth’s words were really awful.
“But you guys looked terrible like that. It’s nothing like the way Anthony usually trains with us. You look…”
......
Elizabeth seemed to be choosing her words carefully. Finally, she chose one she felt was appropriate and said with certainty, “Violence. These are all acts of violence.”
“Battles aren’t always like that,” I said. “We’re like this because Angel hates me. Does she think I’ve taken something from her?”
Elizabeth looked surprised. “You took something from her,” she said. “How?”
“Don’t you understand now? The person she likes is Donald.”
“Lycan King?! Your Mate??? How is that possible? That’s not what she told me,” Elizabeth said.
I sensed something sharply. “What did she tell you?” I asked.
“No, that’s impossible,” Elizabeth muttered.
I gave up on pressing Elizabeth and followed what she had just said. “From what I know, it’s very likely that she and Donald had a past, and Angel has been brooding about it. So, that’s what you see.”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth with both hands.
“Oh my God, what a stupid thing to do then.”
“You’re not to blame,” I said with a shrug. “After all, you didn’t know about this. I didn’t want to tell you before because I didn’t want you to know that I was troubled by Donald’s past. That would make me, uh…”
I paused and said, “A little petty and weak? But now that it has happened, I don’t have to hide it from you.”
“I ran into Angel last night. She told me that she liked the people she grew up with. She even said that she wanted to apologize to you. That was why I agreed to come with her.”
Elizabeth explained, sounding depressed. “I really didn’t expect this, Margaret. I’m sorry about this.”
It was my turn to stare. I hadn’t expected Elizabeth to apologize to me.
Elizabeth took my hand and continued. “So the reason she did such a terrible thing was all because she thought you’d stolen her Mate?”
I nodded. ‘That’s probably what she thinks,’ I replied.
Elizabeth blinked and was silent for a moment. Then she said softly, “What about you?”
“Me?” I asked Elizabeth, puzzled.
“Was that what you thought when I was with Armstrong?” Elizabeth looked uneasy.
“You didn’t do anything crazy like Angel, but do you hate me in your heart like she does?”
I never expected Elizabeth to mention this to me.
I looked at Elizabeth’s expression. She was indeed looking depressed. She had obviously never thought too deeply about this before. She had never even known that it would hurt me. But now that she realized it, she cared about my feelings, which surprised and comforted me.
Perhaps after becoming Luna, she had really grown up a lot. She had started to think from the perspective of others and learned to take on her responsibilities.
