NovelEnglishChapter 58: Glimpsed Feelings _ 1
[Margaret’s Perspective]
On the way back, because Elizabeth was unwilling to transform into a wolf, we had to walk. This was much slower than when we came. Elizabeth was unfamiliar with Elliot and was reserved and aloof.
However, she could not hold herself back. Soon she walked to the front with Anthony. The two of them were chatting about something.
Elliot and I, who were left behind, were a little silent.
Thinking back to what happened with Donald in the forest just now, I felt a little shy. On impulse, I felt stimulated by Angel beside me. I did it without thinking.
Now that I thought about it, I was very much like the kind of werewolf who couldn’t live without her mate. She had to ask for a kiss at the first sign of separation. Damn, I didn’t want to give people the impression that I was clingy. I wondered if Elliot had seen it, and if he had, how much he had seen.
I looked down at the road and wondered if I should start a conversation. The silence was too awkward.

I didn’t expect Elliot to speak first. And he was talking about Angel.
I turned my gaze to him and hesitated. Although I had no intention of asking Elliot about Donald’s past, Donald had not told me much about Angel. I believed in our relationship, but if I could know more, should I reject this opportunity?
Elliot misunderstood my pause and explained with a smile, “His Majesty doesn’t want this to bother you unduly. His Majesty won’t be angry if I can do something for both of you.”
Although this was not my concern, since Elliot had said so, I simply nodded and let him continue.
“Angel is also my cousin,” Elliot said. “She has always been competitive and talented since she was a child. Even among the royal Lycans, she is a very good warrior.”
I can already tell that from the surface,?I thought.
“Our family and His Majesty’s royal family have always been on good terms. We can trace our relationship back several generations. I grew up with His Majesty, and Angel often followed us. It’s also because of this that we’re more familiar with each other. Angel isn’t too restrained by royal etiquette, so she treats His Majesty more casually.”
She had a good family background, outstanding abilities, and amazing looks. I looked at Elliot with a complicated expression. Was he trying to comfort me and make me less troubled, or was he trying to make me give up? This was all because Angel was stronger than me.
Elliot interpreted my look perfectly this time. He smiled at me awkwardly and said, “I’m not trying to say that Angel is outstanding in many ways. It’s just that Angel grew up in such an environment. She’s used to being the best in everything.
She will always pursue the best in everything—from her clothes, food, accommodation, and achievements to her partner. And because she rarely experiences loss, she tends to be more persistent in what she pursues.”
“That’s similar to Elizabeth.” I turned my gaze to Anthony and Elizabeth. “My sister is the same. We can’t compare to the royal family here, but she always gets the best.”
“So you don’t have to care too much about Angel and His Majesty. She’s just used to plundering. She’s not bad by nature. When she meets her mate, she’ll understand. And I can tell that His Majesty’s feelings for you are sincere,” Elliot said softly.
I looked at Elliot and suddenly felt like I was meeting this man for the first time.
“So, after all this talk, are you still speaking for Angel?”
Dimly, I thought I glimpsed a little of Elliot’s feelings.

I nodded and didn’t pursue it. I looked through Elliot and saw the edge of the forest. We were already walking out. Once we were out of the forest, we would be in a safe area.
I actually considered staying with Elizabeth tonight, but looking at Elizabeth and Anthony along the way, I felt that it might be unnecessary for me to go back and stay with her.
In the end, it was Anthony who sent Elizabeth back to our family home. I wanted to go back to my residence myself, but Elliot insisted on sending me to the door of Donald’s room.
“Miss Margaret, don’t go out again tonight,” Elliot told me from the doorway.
“Will Donald be back tonight?” I asked.
“If he’s finished, he’ll be back. You’d better get some sleep and not wait for His Majesty,” Elliot advised.
Although saying this was no different from not saying it, an attack was a big deal for the pack. Previously, when I was still with Armstrong, if anything happened to the pack, Armstrong would be busy all night. I would sometimes accompany him in the office to deal with it. At that time, I was very aware of my abilities in this aspect, but Donald clearly did not give me room to use these abilities.
I sighed again at the thought.
