[Margaret’s Perspective]
Angel and I faced each other.
The look she gave me was no longer one of superior contempt, but one of wariness.
I knew that she was not afraid of me, but of Donald’s power that had suddenly appeared in my body, but even so, I was still aware of the subtle change in our identities. In the past, no matter what I did, Angel had never really taken me seriously, but now, she began to look at me seriously and put me at her level.
Angel sneered and said, “Don’t think you’ve won. You’re standing here trying to teach me a lesson. I’ll tell you that in front of true strength, all tricks are just clowns.”
I hadn’t expected it to come to this. Angel was still impossible to talk to.
I pursed my lips and thought that Angel was being unreasonable. I had thought that although she was not exactly kind, she was at least a smart person. I did not understand where her crazy and persistent hatred for me came from. There were no principles or boundaries to what Angel did. She always lived by her own standards.
“Then come.” I didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She had done that to me. I had no reason to let her go now.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed and darkened.
I kept a close eye on her movements, wary of when she would suddenly charge forward. I remembered that she was best at speed in previous battles. Her agile movements and unexpected attacks could easily catch the other party off guard.
“Damn,” Angel muttered under her breath.
I gave her a puzzled look.
[Stop her. Don’t let her get away.]
Donald’s voice sounded in my heart again.
Before my brain could react, my body was already following his words.
I strode forward and attacked Angel first. She dodged to the side and avoided the frontal attack. I chased after her. This time, Angel didn’t retreat. A fierce look flashed in her eyes. She stopped moving forward and turned around to pounce on me.
My body instinctively dodged, but Angel was only feinting. Her right hand pushed out and in the blink of an eye, she had completed the transformation of her wolf form. She was about to hit my shoulder again.
I could only retreat again. We exchanged a few blows and quickly pulled away a few meters.
Angel didn’t want to fight. After pushing me back, her lips curled into a “so-so” smile. She turned and disappeared into the forest.
I managed to stabilize myself and was about to continue chasing, but Angel was nowhere to be seen.
I touched the wound on my shoulder. It was completely healed now. Only a bloody cut on my shirt proved that there had been an injury here.
I looked in the direction that Angel had left and hesitated. Even if I had recovered most of my strength, I might not be able to catch up to her. Moreover, even if I caught up to her, she would be able to escape from me again. But I was unwilling to let her go like this.
While I was in a dilemma, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
I had a vague premonition, but I didn’t dare look back, afraid that I would be even more disappointed if I had any hope.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer to me. I stood rooted to the ground, and my legs seemed to be nailed to the ground by something. I felt it. It was the most wonderful, intoxicating smell in the world, and it was the smell I missed the most now. It exuded a holy and noble aura, and at the same time, there was a hint of softness. I felt myself in it.
“Margaret!”
I turned my head slowly. Elizabeth’s exclamation told me that none of this was an illusion.
For a moment, I couldn’t feel anything. I didn’t even know if my heart was still beating. All I could see was the person standing against the light.
The light hit him from behind and a faint golden glow appeared on his body. His facial features were blurred by the light, but I could still see his excellent facial features clearly. Golden light flickered on his tall nose bridge. It reminded me of the first time I saw Donald. He appeared in front of me like a god.
Especially since I had just experienced a battle that brought me infinitely close to death, the joy of surviving and seeing my mate instantly swept through my mind.
I opened my mouth but realized that I couldn’t make a sound.
A lot of emotions rushed into my brain at the same time. There was grievance, frustration, joy, anger, and too many things mixed together. I thought I would cry, but no, I couldn’t think of any words to describe how I felt.
In the end, it was just a simple word.
Great.
It was great to see Donald alive.
