[Donaldâs Perspective]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Angel was obviously shocked by the sudden attack, but she reacted quickly and rushed to my side.
âHow are you?â Angel asked anxiously.
I raised my eyes and stared hard at the werewolf whoâd just attacked me. He was about the same size as the dark-haired man whoâd attacked Margaret. He was now beside the unconscious dark-haired man. He was creating a diversion. He had wanted to take the man.
âTake care of her.â I shoved Margaret to Angel and gave her a warning look. If she was sensible, she would know not to do anything that might anger me now.
I let out a long howl at the moon. In the blink of an eye, Iâd completed my human-to-wolf transformation. Margaretâs blood had provoked me. My Mate was hurt by other werewolves in front of me. They had to pay with blood. There was no room for negotiation.
I saw Angel tremble and the shocked look in the werewolfâs eyes.
The werewolf stiffened for perhaps half a second. He must have sensed the dangerous aura I was giving off. He suddenly abandoned his companion and turned to flee.
But it was too late.
If the person who hurt me could leave without paying any price, then I would really be wasting my life.
I jumped and covered the ten meters between us. The other party turned and ran. I closed the distance between us in an instant.
Too slow. He was moving too slowly.
I put my claws on his back and slashed him from his neck to his waist, leaving a long trail of blood.
This blow was for Margaret.
I saw him stretch his neck in pain as he let out a groan, but he was still struggling with death and didnât stop walking. That only prolonged his life for a few seconds.
I threw myself on top of him. He was knocked to the ground. I tore at his throat crazily with my teeth and felt the fishy and warm fluid fill my mouth.
I pressed my claws against his soft stomach, slicing his flesh piece by piece. I felt him whimper and die under me before I jumped off him.
The blood on his body stained the ground red. I looked at the ground in disgust.
I didnât like blood, and I didnât like solving problems by killing. I always felt that power should be for protection, not plunder.
I thought of Margaret and raced back to where Iâd come from.
Angel had already given Margaret a simple hemostasis. I nodded to her and received Margaret into my arms.
âShe has passed out from blood loss. Iâve already stopped the bleeding. And our men will be here soon. They have a medical team among them. There shouldnât be a problem.â
Angel looked a little uncomfortable. She looked at me with a hesitant expression and said, âIt was all my fault just now. I was negligent and didnât notice anything unusual. Iâm sorry.â
âYou shouldnât be sorry about this,â I said coldly. âWhat happened tonight was all because of you.â
I saw Angel open her mouth as if to say something. In the end, she didnât say anything.
âYou donât have to interfere in the future. Youâll go to detention today and reflect on it,â I said. âIâve already contacted Elliot. Heâll take over everything here. When I deploy new people, you can get lost.â
My words left no room for Angel.
With Margaretâs injury. Angel had crossed my bottom line. Since she might hurt Margaret, I couldnât tolerate her staying here no matter what.
âDonald, you canât do this to me,â Angel said.
For the first time, I saw weakness in Angelâs eyes.
âI didnât mean to hurt her, and it was not my fault she got hurt,â Angel said defensively. âSheâs your mate, but has it ever occurred to you that this isnât fair to me either? Iâm doing what I have to do as the commando leader. What right do you have to punish me like this?â
âIâve always tried to make you see me and stand by your side. Iâve done everything well. If you say that youâre punishing me for dereliction of duty, Iâll accept anything. However, you canât convince me of such a reason.â
âBut the truth is that you hurt her,â I said calmly. âThereâs no such thing as absolute fairness or unfairness in this world, especially not emotionally. Was what you did to Margaret fair to her?â
I saw Angelâs hurt expression and suddenly couldnât bear to continue. I sighed and said, âAngel, Iâve always admired you. Youâre an excellent warrior. Letting you go back isnât entirely a punishment. Youâll have a good position and development. Why do you have to stay here?â
âYou werenât like this before, Donald. Youâve become weak. You let emotions manipulate your rationality. You donât look like the Lycan King from before.â Angel looked at me with sad eyes.
âPeople change,â I replied, looking back at Angel. âBut I prefer to believe that love made me stronger. I understand the meaning of protection better.
