Chapter 48: The Only One I’d Spent the Rest of My Life With
[Margaret’s Perspective]
When I heard Donald’s question, I instinctively shook my head and then nodded.
I didn’t want to hear about Donald’s past with another woman, but given the current situation with Angel right in front of me, I didn’t want to know nothing about her.
I saw Donald gazing at me. He must have seen the uneasiness and nervousness in me.
“We’re completely done. I’ll take control of the situation. I won’t give her the chance to do that to you.”
But that wasn’t what I cared about. I wasn’t saying that I didn’t care about Angel’s hostility towards me, but I wanted to know more about Donald’s attitude towards Angel.
“She seems to like you,” I said hesitantly.
“There are many people who like me, but you’re the only one for me.”
It felt bittersweet. From the day Donald and I became mates, or even before we became mates, I knew many people liked Donald. I couldn’t help but compare myself to everyone else, wondering if I was really worthy of Donald.
But Donald had given me such a promise more than once. He said that he liked me and only me. I didn’t know if this would always be true, but the beauty of this moment was so real.
“Will she be staying here?”
“I think so. Until I deploy new men.”
I felt uneasy about this, but I didn’t say anything else. It wasn’t that I didn’t believe what Donald said to me, and I knew very well how Donald felt about me, but it was still difficult for me to feel at ease with such a beautiful and adoring Lycan warrior around me.
“Will you be unhappy about this?” Donald asked, grabbing my hand.
“I can’t find any reason to be happy.” I forced a smile. “But I understand.”
“I don’t want you to be unhappy. I won’t let her come within your sight again, and I won’t see her often. Is that okay?”
“I’m not trying to keep you from your work. I’ll be fine, Donald.”
“I will do it.”
Donald kissed the back of my hand and said, “I have something to ask you too.”
I looked at Donald and waited for him to speak.
“What’s with you and your pack’s Alpha?”
This question was not unexpected, but talking to Donald about my past with Armstrong still made me feel a little embarrassed. I avoided Donald’s gaze and stared at the coffee table in front of the sofa.
“Uh, we’re friends.”
I felt Donald’s gaze on me and had no choice but to say, “Before he and my sister became mates, he was my boyfriend.”
“What happened then?” Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Donald frown.
“Just, uh, like I said, I used to date him, but he found his mate, my sister Elizabeth. So, uh, we broke up, and then I met you.”
I saw Donald sitting there, obviously thinking about the relationship.
“What about Anthony?” he asked.
“Anthony? He’s our pack’s Beta.”
“I see he spends a lot of time with you guys too. Some days, I smell him on you.”
“I don’t have anything with him. He used to hang out with Elizabeth all the time, but it’s hard to say whether they have a real relationship. Now… Well, I don’t know.”
“That sounds odd.”
I couldn’t answer Donald. The relationship did sound a little messy, but I wasn’t the one who caused all this. Donald waved at me, and I obediently sat on him. He touched me from top to bottom, not with much desire, but more like he was comforting me.
“Armstrong always looks at you strangely. Does he still have… feelings for you?”
This brought up another embarrassing topic. Armstrong was indeed a bastard for what he had done to me, but he was also the Alpha of our pack and the mate of my sister. I couldn’t say that about him in front of Donald. It made me feel dishonorable.
“Uh, I don’t know.”
“What about you? Do you still have feelings for him?”
“I was once very sad because of him,” I said honestly. I looked Donald in the eye. “But now that I have you, everything he did to me was in the past. I no longer care about what happened before. You’re the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with now.”
“So things will be fine between us, right?”
Donald’s eyes were looking deeply into mine. I found it difficult to resist his gaze. I gently hooked my fingers around his and replied.
‘Yes, we’ll be fine.’
We kissed again naturally. We kissed so many times that night. I felt that my lips were a little red and swollen, but my body still felt that it was not enough. We removed the obstacles of the past and knew deep down that we only had each other in our hearts. This feeling of having each other completely was wonderful, even comparable to the ultimate climax.
