Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King’s Mate - Chapter 151
[Donald’s Perspective]
Margaret belonged to me. Although we were about to be separated for a short time, neither of us could change that. As long as there was still a bond between us, our hearts would be close even if we were at the edge of the world.
I felt the pounding of Margaret’s heart. I put my hand on it.
“Are you worried about our separation?” I asked.
Margaret nodded.
“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely win. I’ll come back victorious to you. Then we’ll have a wedding and announce to everyone that we’re the happiest couple in the world.”
Margaret nodded again.

I knew that if I didn’t leave now, it would be too late for what I had to do.
I lifted Margaret up and placed her on the sofa, laughing as I left one last kiss on her forehead.
“Promise me you’ll be good, right?”
“I’ll be waiting at your pack,” Margaret said.
“Wait for me.” I opened the door and walked out.
On the way, I pondered what Margaret had told me about Elliot.
I didn’t want to doubt Elliot’s loyalty to me. Putting aside our family connections, Elliot and I had known each other since we were teenagers. He had been my guard until he became the beta of the pack. The guard had been by my side for almost 10 years.
If Margaret hadn’t told me herself, I wouldn’t have believed that Elliot would do anything to threaten Margaret on Angel’s behalf.
I was sure Elliot had his reasons. He might have had a deal with Angel. I had overlooked Elliot’s unusual behavior because of the busy days. I needed to talk to him.
But in any case, I couldn’t leave this to him anymore.
My plan for the day was to first confirm the current situation with my personal guard captain, Christian, who had arrived with the reinforcement team.
Their group had arrived last night. Because they were attacked immediately, everyone was dealing with the injured and throwing themselves into the battle. Christian and I had not had time to meet.
The personal guard force was unlike the assault team led by Angel. Although the assault team also comprised the elites of the royal Lycans, they were under the unified jurisdiction of the military establishment.
But the personal guard force led by Christian was independent of any establishment.
For generations, the personal guards had belonged to the Lycan King alone. After each Lycan King left office, his batch of personal guards would disband and take on other official positions or join the regular army.
The new Lycan King would choose people he could trust to form his personal guard force. Everyone in this team would only obey his leadership. Every member had to go through a strict background check because in addition to having outstanding combat ability, they had to be absolutely loyal to the royal family.
And the most important thing about the personal guards being different from regular troops was that no one had the right to order these personal guards to do anything except the Lycan King. It was also for this reason that every personal guard would be trusted by the Lycan King.
At the same time, because the personal guards only accepted my vertical leadership, their existence was not known to many people like the assault team. Most of the time, they were even invisible. Ordinary people did not know how powerful they were.
I used my Mindlink to contact Christian and asked him to meet me at the office. He came quickly.
“Did you send for me, Your Majesty?” Christian stood straight before me.
“I have something I want you to do,” I said. “I found my mate, Margaret, here. The overall situation at the Silver Moon Pack has become serious. I want to send her and her sister away together. I want you to escort them back to our Pack and keep them safe the entire time.”
“Your mate? That would be our future Lycan Queen. Escorting them is indeed a very important thing, but do you want me to do it?” Christian frowned slightly.
“You won’t do it?” I asked.
“Of course not, Your Majesty,” Christian said. “I’m willing to follow all your orders. But I’ve just arrived, and a lot of things have just been set up. If you’d like me to leave now, I need to reassign some work.”
I frowned at Christian’s words. When I’d chosen to deploy my personal guards to the Silver Moon Pack, I hadn’t expected such a terrible situation.
Christian was a rare leadership talent. I’d chosen to get him here in the first place because of this. He could handle a team on his own and lighten my burden. If he was away, I would definitely have to spend more effort on the personal guards.
However, at this point, Margaret’s safety was equally important. It was precisely because of Christian’s ability that he was the person I trusted the most among the personal guards. He would definitely give Margaret the best security.
