[Margaret’s Perspective]

I held my breath nervously, secretly praying that Eric and Anthony would hear the commotion and come out quickly from the cabin.

Angel stretched her arms in front of us. She tilted her head and looked sideways at Elliot. She said, “In this situation, do you want to consider joining us?”

Elliot looked at Angel in silence. He didn’t say anything. Elizabeth and I stood behind Elliot, so we couldn’t see his expression.

“What’s the point of protecting them like this? Look at them. They don’t believe you at all. And look at the situation now. You can’t defeat me with two burdens. Brother, there’s no need to make unnecessary sacrifices at this time. I know your ability. I’ll give you my promise and complete trust,” Angel lobbied.

I couldn’t stand it anymore. I took a step forward and walked up to Elliot. “Don’t try to sow discord. Donald gave you his trust. The person who betrayed Donald is you.”

Angel’s eyes turned to me and she laughed mockingly. “Haha, look who it is. Isn’t this Lycan King’s famous werewolf Mate? A useless piece of trash.”

The Lycans around Angel laughed. I secretly clenched my fists and stared at her fiercely.

“But you’re clearly wrong about one thing. Donald has never trusted me the way he trusted Elliot. That’s why we’re where we are today.” Angel’s expression suddenly changed in front of me. She said gloomily, “Today, I will definitely kill you with my own hands.”

…..

“Angel, stop doing this,” Elliot finally said.

Elliot stood stiff and straight as a tough tree.

He put me behind him again and faced Angel and the Lycans alone.

“Stop, come back with me, and beg for His Majesty’s forgiveness. There is still room for redemption,” Elliot said.

‘You are naïve, Elliot.’

I saw Angel shake her head and smile mockingly.

“Since I chose this path, I won’t turn back. Those weak and ignorant werewolves are not worth protecting. All they have to do is submit. It’s already a gift for us to rule over them and provide them with food and shelter. Now they have too much. We have to get it back.”

Angel glanced at Elizabeth and me and continued, “You used to think the same way as me. You told me that you hated following Donald’s orders to protect them. You should have been more valuable than just being a guard. But Donald never saw your worth. Come, join us.”

Elliot hates protecting us? Does he also think the Lycans are born to rule the werewolves?

I looked at Elliot with some surprise. He didn’t look like he was going to deny it.

“I told you this back then because I hoped you would stay, but you still betrayed us. I’ve always regretted that I didn’t tell His Majesty about this sooner.”

Elliot turned his head to me and said, “Miss Margaret, I said I was not a traitor. But I also have to admit that I did sense Angel’s unusual actions before, because I did not want Angel to be punished any more than I had to warn His Majesty. It was my fault. But no matter what happens, I will always be loyal to His Majesty and to the royal family.”

Angel narrowed her eyes and said, “I see you’ve made your choice. Protect the werewolves? I’m sorry about your choice, Elliot.”

“I’m just as pained by your choice,” Elliot said.

“Then we have nothing more to say.” Angel flexed her joints, and her eyes burned with the fire of battle. “It’s been a long time since I fought my cousin. I wonder how much you’ve improved. You were no match for me the last time we fought.”

So the cousin Elliot used to talk about was Angel!

I was enlightened and connected all the dots. Why didn’t I think of such an obvious fact before? Donald must have known this.

All of Elliot’s previous actions suddenly had a logical explanation. I realized how cruel this moment was to Elliot.

“Back off!” Elliot hissed, stepping forward to attack Angel first.

I hesitated, thinking that I should join the battle to help Elliot as well.

But Elliot sensed what I was doing and shouted, “Get back in the cabin and find Eric and Anthony!”

Elizabeth also grabbed my hand and pulled me in the direction of the cabin.
