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

Chapter 17: Excited Elizabeth _ 1

[Margaret’s POV]

I knew it, I thought helplessly.

“Didn’t Anthony do anything for you?” I asked.

“Ah… he—he did help a little.” Elizabeth’s voice suddenly fell silent. Puzzled, I looked back at her. Elizabeth seemed to be lost in thought as her gaze drafted. She noticed my gaze and quickly focused on my business again.

“But you should come back. I have the inauguration ceremony.”

I thought about what Donald had told me yesterday. If there really was an attack and our safety was not guaranteed, all the rituals would probably be postponed or canceled. However, as I looked at Elizabeth, I thought I’d better not tell her about this yet. She’d freak out.

Elizabeth had been looking forward to showing up with Armstrong at the Luna succession ceremony to slap the faces of those who usually didn’t get along with her, including Selina. My sister never cared about the tribe or anything. She just wanted her to be the most beautiful, popular, and respected person in the pack.

“I’ll help you. I’ll do what I promised. Yesterday was just…” I was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain what happened between me and Donald.

Fortunately, Elizabeth did not mind. When she heard that I would help her, her expression softened and she interrupted me.

“What’s going on between you and the Lycan King?! He took you away just like that yesterday. He looks tall and powerful, and the girls in the pack are about to go crazy. But he looks a little scary, right? I mean, he’s shockingly strong. He can crush you.”

Elizabeth sounded odd, but I was used to not bickering with her.

“He is very tall, and he is very nice.”

I thought about how he had locked me up in the house yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable, but I insisted on speaking up for Donald.

“So he’s really your mate?! Oh my god, you’re actually the Lycan King’s mate. Oh my god, oh my god! I still can’t believe it from yesterday until now. There is countless speculation outside, but most people are guessing that you two are mates. Many people don’t believe that this will happen, so is it true? You two are really mates!”

Elizabeth screamed.

“I think so.” I started to giggle too. Even now I couldn’t believe it. Donald and I were really mates. Whenever I was alone, I would wonder if this was just a dream I had.

“Oh, Margaret, do you know? Selina is going crazy with jealousy. She’s spreading rumors about you and the Lycan King everywhere, but anyone with discerning eyes knows that she’s just jealous. No one pays attention to her. She’s like a clown. When you and the Lycan King show up, you’ll slap her in the face.”

Elizabeth was agitated. She and Selina had been enemies for a long time because Selina liked Anthony, but Anthony was nice to Elizabeth.

The two of them had been fighting openly and covertly over the past few years, and neither of them had an edge over the other. Elizabeth had been showing off in front of Selina for a long time because she had become mates with Armstrong.

It seemed that using my relationship with the Lycan King would suppress Selina until she could no longer make a name for herself. However, I didn’t want to be involved in their battle. In their previous battle, I was often the only victim.

I tried to change the subject.

“I heard from Donald—”

“Donald?! Is that the name of the Lycan King? You’re already calling each other by first names? Oh my god, Margaret, you really became mates with the Lycan King. How does that feel?”

Elizabeth cut me off again. She never thought it was rude.

“I was going to say that Armstrong came home yesterday.”

I continued what I had not finished.

I felt surprisingly calm at the mention of Armstrong.

Just yesterday, this name brought me endless disappointment and pain. But after just one day, he wouldn’t cause any more waves in my heart. I could already accept the fact that he would become my sister’s mate and give him my blessings sincerely. This was the power that Donald had given me.

“Oh, I think so. I saw him at the venue yesterday.”

I looked at Elizabeth in surprise. She did not look interested.

“You only saw him at the venue? Didn’t he come home at night?”

Ever since Elizabeth and Armstrong became mates, Elizabeth had moved to live in Armstrong’s place. If Armstrong wasn’t home, or if they had any arguments, Elizabeth would run home and stay for a few days. But Armstrong had just returned, and Elizabeth should have missed him. They shouldn’t be apart.

“He didn’t come back last night. He was probably dealing with tribal matters. I don’t care about his Alpha business. In fact, I couldn’t even do Luna stuff. As soon as I got up this morning, the Lycan King notified me to give you something. Now I’m here.”

Elizabeth was talking about things that didn’t matter, but she looked depressed. She always wanted to talk to me about Armstrong before, but I didn’t want to discuss him. It seemed like she and Armstrong weren’t getting along as well as I thought.
