[Margaretâs Perspective]
Donald reached out and hugged me. He didnât say anything more. I leaned against him longingly. This was more than a thousand words.
I sniffed and smelled blood on Donald.
I immediately became nervous. I wanted to distance myself from Donald to see how he was and if he was injured. However, just as I was about to move, I felt Donald hug me even harder in his arms. His strength seemed to crush me into his body.
I wrapped my arms around his back and patted him gently on the back, realizing that in this short day and night, I wasnât the only one who was afraid. Donald was. He must be even more nervous than I was.
âDonât move.â Donaldâs deep voice vibrated in my eardrums. âThank God youâre okay. This is great.â
I was about to cry from Donaldâs words. This was what I had just thought. We thought of the same thing. We were destined to be tied together. No external thing or tribulation could separate us.
âIâm fine. Iâm fine, Donald.â I tried to give Donald a smile to prove to him that I was fine.
âHow dare you say that you were almost killed by Angel just now.â Donald held my hand tightly and tensed up. With a serious expression, he said, âWhy did you have to be so rash? Do you know how dangerous what you just did was? You havenât learned your lesson from last time. Why didnât you think about the consequences before doing anything?â
I opened my mouth to defend myself. I wanted to say that it wasnât that I didnât consider the big picture, but that I had no choice. Under those circumstances, only by staying would I be the most likely to save Elizabeth and my life. But when I looked up and met Donaldâs sad gaze, I couldnât say anything.
I did consider a lot at that moment, but the only thing I didnât consider too much was my own life, so I ignored the impact this had on Donald. If I died, Donald would be as sad as he could be. I ignored his feelings. In this regard, I had let Donald down.
I lowered my head in embarrassment and gently pressed Donaldâs palm.
Donald raised my hand and pressed it against his chest. He said softly, âIt was so close. Iâve never been afraid of anything. But now, Iâm even afraid to think about what would happen if I didnât succeed in sharing my power with you just now. Youâre not allowed to do such a thing again. Do you hear me?â
I nodded seriously at Donaldâs affectionate gaze.
I remembered what had just happened and said doubtfully, âSo that power was really yours. How did you do it?â
âThatâs âBeing There,'â said a voice nearby.
I turned to look and noticed a group of people behind Donald. Many of them were dressed as Lycan warriors. Standing at the front were Eric and Anthony, who had disappeared earlier. Elizabeth was standing beside Anthony. Anthony was talking to her softly with his head lowered. It was Eric who had spoken.
ââBeing Thereâ?â I repeated Ericâs words doubtfully.
ââBeing Thereâ is a special ability between two parties. You can share your five senses with the other party and transfer a portion of your strength to the other party. This requires an extremely huge amount of mental strength. The longer you maintain it, the more strength it expends.â
Eric explained, âUsually, only those who have lived with each other for decades have this ability. I didnât expect Your Majesty to master it so quickly.â
I felt that Ericâs words were a little strange, but I couldnât find anything wrong with them.
Then I remembered something else and asked Donald, âHow did you get together with Eric and the others?â
âThey came over on their own.â Donald looked at Eric and Anthony and said with the dignity of the Lycan King, âI told you to find and protect Margaret. Why are you protecting me?â
âWe chased a group of people all the way here,â Anthony said. âWhen we were at the cabin, Eric and I went inside to search and found traces left by the other party. We thought that with most of our men at your side and with Elliot around, there shouldnât be a problem. We were afraid that the other party would escape, so we went after them together. In the end, we ran into the Lycan King.â
I realized that something was wrong and questioned, âWhy were all the people at our side? At that time, the number of people were split into two and you took a portion of them away. There were only a dozen of us in the cabin. Thatâs why Angel got her hands on us.â
âImpossible,â Anthony denied flatly. âWe let those people go back when we were in the house. Eric and I were indeed the only ones who chased them out.â
Anthony and I looked at each other and realized the crux of the problem.
There was a small group of men, and they had disappeared from our midst.
