Chapter 139: I’ll Take You Away With Me
[Margaret’s Perspective]
Elizabeth saw what I did just now.
I poured a glass of water silently and handed it to her. Elizabeth took it and drank it all in one go. I filled another glass for her. She waved at me to indicate that she didn’t need it.
I lowered my head and took a sip to calm myself down. Then I turned around and took new eggs out of the fridge.
These were the last two. I couldn’t screw up again.
Elizabeth was already in shock. I couldn’t let her think that I was the same. One of us had to be able to remain calm. I could show my uneasiness to Donald, but I had to take on the responsibility of an older sister with Elizabeth.
“What are you doing?” came Elizabeth’s weak voice.
“Making breakfast.”
“Stop cooking. I don’t want to eat.”
I paused in the kitchen, not listening to her. I needed an omelet to keep myself calm.
“Margaret, will you talk to me? I’m scared.”
I put down the utensil in my hand and looked at Elizabeth, who was showing her vulnerable side to me. I walked towards her and she held my hand firmly, as if I were her lifeline.
I sat next to her. She leaned against me gently. I patted her back with my hand.
......
“I saw what they were like. Did you see it, too? I was so scared.”
Elizabeth’s voice sounded like she was crying. I closed my eyes and opened them again. I looked at Elizabeth in my arms and really didn’t know what to say to comfort her, because the panic and fear in my heart were no less than hers.
“This won’t be the last time, will it?” Elizabeth asked, looking up at me. “Something like this will happen again. What are we going to do?”
What Donald had said to me flashed through my mind.
If the situation here becomes serious, I will consider sending you back to the royal Lycan pack.
I have spoken to Elliot before. He’s always prepared.
You can take Elizabeth with you. That way, you’ll feel more at ease.
At the thought of Donald, I felt energized again.
“Donald told me that he wanted to send me to their Lycan royal pack,” I said slowly. “He even asked me to bring you along.”
Elizabeth sat up straight and said, “Are you taking me with you?”
I nodded.
Elizabeth thought for a moment and said, “Is it just us going? What about the rest of the Pack?”
I shrugged and said, “We won’t be able to take care of them. Donald is actually still asking for my opinion. I haven’t thought about leaving the Pack. This is our home, after all.”
“Oh, Margaret,” Elizabeth said disapprovingly. “How can you refuse such a kind offer from the Lycan King? So, where exactly is their pack?”
I was stumped by the question.
Because I had never seriously considered leaving, I didn’t even ask this question. As a pair of mates who planned to mark, it seemed unbelievable that I still didn’t know where Donald lived.
“Uh, somewhere in the north,” I said awkwardly.
Elizabeth looked at me quizzically.
“Well, I don’t know.” Defeated, I admitted the annoying truth to Elizabeth.
“Margaret, what—”
I could tell that Elizabeth was trying to control the curve of her lips, but she was obviously not doing a good job.
“You can laugh if you want,” I said helplessly.
Elizabeth stopped controlling her expression and giggled. “Pfff. I’m not mocking you, Margaret. But that doesn’t sound like something you’d do.”
“What would I do?”
Elizabeth blinked and said, “You always act perfect. You’re at ease with everything and then you make everyone around you look like an idiot.”
I had never heard such an assessment of me from Elizabeth.
“Sounds like a compliment,” I said.
Elizabeth’s eyes shifted and focused on the kitchen next to us. “But your cooking is really awful,” she said. “Anthony’s much better.”
I curled my lips slightly and was about to say something to refute her.
At this moment, we heard chaotic footsteps outside the door. Elizabeth and I looked at each other, our gazes becoming nervous.
Someone was knocking on the door.
For a moment, neither Elizabeth nor I moved. Only when Elizabeth said shakily that she smelled Armstrong did I go to the door and open it.
As soon as it was opened, Donald and Armstrong walked in together. They both smelled strongly of blood. It almost covered Donald’s smell.
I was shocked by this scene and quickly let them in. I wanted to get something for Donald to wipe the blood off his body, but Donald grabbed my hand.
