Chapter 59: Regular Knocks on the Door _ 1
[Margaret’s Perspective]
I lay on the bed alone and breathed in the lingering scent of Donald on the blanket.
We had left in a hurry, and no one had come to clean up yet. The sheets and quilts were covered with the dried stains of our lovemaking.
I removed the sheets and resigned myself to cleaning. Since Donald didn’t need me to help him with the pack, I could at least do something useful in life. Although I usually had someone to help me clean, it was so late now. I still hoped that if Donald came back, he would have a more comfortable place to live.
I was busy in the house when I heard a knock on the door.
The sounds were very regular. At first, it was three times in a reserved manner. I thought I had heard wrongly and didn’t pay attention. After a while, it was the same three times in a reserved manner. The intervals were about the same as before. Now I was sure that someone was knocking on the door, but I was guarded.
Who would knock on my door at this time of night, just after the attack??I thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut this was the place Donald had arranged for me to stay. If he could make me feel at ease living here, it must be safe. I looked out through the peephole. The corridor was empty. Puzzled, I opened the door and looked out. There was no one on either side.
Could I have misheard?
But it was so quiet at night, and there were definitely knocks on the door just now. Twice.
I was about to close the door when I felt a hand wrap around me from behind. I instinctively slapped behind me and was about to block.
However, I felt a chill on my neck. From the corner of my eye, I saw a slender arm with a sharp blade pressing against my throat.
Who is it!
Various thoughts ran through my mind.?Are these sneak attackers? How did they get past the layers of guards to get here?
However, this was the center of the pack. There would definitely be people sent by Donald to patrol the area. There would also be people from Armstrong’s defense outside. As long as I shouted, someone would definitely hear me and come up to save me.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t call out,” a voice behind me said hoarsely. For a moment, it was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman.
I felt the blade on my neck come a few inches closer. I had to lean back, almost touching my captor.
The other party shook his head impatiently. I felt as if my hair had touched his face. He was not much taller than me, and his shoulders were not wide. He was not big! I tried my best to sense the other party by touch, wanting to find a way out by myself.
“Close the door and come in.”
I had to comply with his order and walked into the room with him. I felt extremely aggrieved. I was kidnapped the moment I returned. I thought,?I might as well stay in the forest with Donald. Look at the situation now. This is the place that Donald thought I would be absolutely safe!
“What are you doing?” I tried to negotiate with the other party. “This place is heavily guarded. You can’t take me out. Leave now and I’ll pretend nothing happened.”
“Hmph.” I heard a snort, but the pressure on my neck suddenly relaxed.
I didn’t hesitate. I followed the other party’s arm and wanted to use my strength to flip him over. I wanted to capture him and escort him to Donald! However, the other party was already prepared. I suddenly exerted my strength but couldn’t pull him away. He pulled me back and hit me in the stomach with an elbow. I retreated in pain and fell onto the bed.

I endured the pain and looked up. There were still tears in my eyes.
The first thing I saw was a slender uniform that accentuated his slender and smooth body. He was indeed not the very big-sized type, and he did not look strong enough, but I knew what kind of power was hidden under that elbow strike just now. He was definitely not as weak as he looked.
I finally saw the other party’s face. It was someone I had not expected!
How could it be her!
What is she doing here!
Why did she press a knife against my neck just now!
I stared at the person in shock, my hand still on my stomach.
“How useless,” Angel said coldly. “Why would Donald choose someone like you as his mate?”
“Is that what you wanted to tell me?” I couldn’t understand Angel’s thoughts. What good would it do for her to come to the door of my room in the middle of the night and beat me up? To prove that she was better at fighting than me? Or did she think that she could show off to Donald? I thought she was a smart person. Why would she do such a thing?
“I just wanted to talk to you and test your skills. You’re weaker than I thought.” Angel was honest. Perhaps she felt that there was no need to lie to a small fry like me.
I exhaled, feeling helpless.
