Chapter 148: Hiding Something

[Donald’s Perspective]

I let out a long breath and took my hand reluctantly off Margaret’s back.

Margaret seemed to know what I was about to say to her. She hugged me and silently made room for me.

“Do you need me to come with you?” Margaret said.

I thought about it and nodded. I had to hand Margaret over to someone I trusted to be at ease.

We walked downstairs hand in hand, and I kept Margaret in my arms the whole time. Her presence made me feel stronger, and the physical contact between us would strengthen that. We went to the council hall together. I began to hate this place, because every time I came here, it meant new bad news.

There were already a lot of people gathered here, both from the Silver Moon Pack and the Red Sun Pack. There were also some people I had brought with me. We were starting to unite more forces.

I saw Alpha Armstrong and Beta Anthony of the Silver Moon Pack in the crowd, along with my Beta, Elliot.

I was surprised that Luna Elizabeth was not standing beside Alpha Armstrong. They were supposed to be here together like me and Margaret.

I noticed that Margaret paused in her stride as she entered, as if she had seen someone who displeased her.

And the only candidate I could think of was Armstrong. What had he done to my mate? Thinking of this, my expression darkened.

Alpha Armstrong had changed into proper clothes and was standing at the front, looking down at some documents.

As we got closer to the crowd, I felt Margaret tense up in resistance. She tightened her grip on the corner of my shirt, a gesture she often did when she was nervous. She would unconsciously exert force on her hand. I wrapped my hand around her small hand and pried her fingers apart one by one, linking my fingers with hers.

......

Margaret looked up at me and gave me a slightly forced smile.

She’s hiding something from me,?I thought.

What’s going through her mind?

I turned my eyes to where her gaze had lingered. In that direction was only Alpha Armstrong and his Beta Anthony, and Elliot with my men.

Angel had been dismissed from my team. I couldn’t remember her ever having any conflicts with anyone else in my team.

Armstrong.

I sighed inwardly. This was always a problem.

However, he was the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack after all. He had done nothing wrong. I had to maintain a good working relationship with him to fight the enemy.

Fortunately, Margaret would be leaving soon, and so would I, once we’d sorted this out once and for all. They wouldn’t have another chance to interact, and all their problems would be solved.

I smiled at Margaret and kissed her forehead, wanting to give her some comfort and support.

This worked well between mates. Margaret’s body relaxed a little, but I could feel that she was still avoiding my gaze. She seemed to be hesitating about telling me something she knew, and she was stumped by it.

I leaned down close to her ear and was about to ask her when I heard Alpha Armstrong speaking up.

He began to explain the attack last night and the reason for the Red Sun Pack’s presence in our pack. He announced new plans to the people. As I had suggested to him earlier, we would give up on defending blindly and start attacking instead.

The discussion became noisy suddenly. Voices were everywhere as people exchanged views. But they were all worried about the battle that was about to happen.

After all, there were so many casualties so far. I could understand everyone’s feelings, but this was the time for me to speak up.

I took a step forward, but I was still holding Margaret’s hand.

“Everyone, listen to me. I’m the Lycan King, Donald. I know that everyone here has put in extraordinary effort, and this has also achieved a certain result before. However, the battle is escalating. We can’t always be like before. The painful fact that happened last night has already educated us with blood. We have to raise the weapons in our hands and counter attack.”

I was satisfied to see the hall quiet down. I continued, “Last night’s casualties might have made everyone worried about this battle. You think that the enemy is stronger than us, but that’s not the truth. They’ve been hiding in the dark and ambushing us. What does this mean? They don’t dare to fight us head on. They’re not as strong as us, so they can only keep doing this shady business. They’re nothing to be afraid of.”

A voice of disapproval cut in to say, “But Your Majesty, I am told that a Lycan of the royal family is in the enemy camp.”
