[Margaret’s Perspective]
I watched as the fur on our bodies faded and our limbs became slender.
Because Angel and I started shifting at almost the same time, I didn’t give Angel much chance to break free. It was just that our current posture was different from when we were in wolf form.
I leaned over Angel and wrapped my arms around her neck. I wrapped my legs around her waist.
Angel’s legs were curled up against my stomach, and her arms were on my shoulders. If it weren’t for the way we were glaring at each other, this would have looked like the posture of two very close people.
I didn’t let down my guard at all. It took all my strength to maintain this position to trap Angel. Her hands kept struggling. She bent her elbow and slammed it into my injured shoulder. I grunted and gritted my teeth as I pulled Angel closer to me.
Our faces were almost touching now. Angel’s breath was on my face. I could see the eyelashes of her eyes clearly. In Angel’s angry eyes, I saw my own twisted face.
‘If I stick close to her, she can’t do anything to me.’
I kept that thought in my head.
[Margaret?]
[Where are you? Are you okay?]
When Donald’s voice sounded in my mind, I thought I was hallucinating. At this moment, my communication with Donald was magically restored.
[I… I’m fighting.]
I sent the message back with difficulty. It was not an easy thing to do while suppressing Angel.
[Who are you fighting? Angel?!]
[Yes.]
I kept my sentences as short as I could to make sure I was focusing mostly on Angel, who couldn’t easily break free of me.
And I had no doubt that as soon as she broke free, she would knock me down.
Donald was silent for a moment. He didn’t reply to me.
All kinds of guesses flashed through my mind. Had Elizabeth found Donald and the others? Had Donald defeated his enemies there now? Was he on his way to save me?
Fortunately, Donald didn’t make me wait too long. Soon, his urgent voice came through Mindlink.
[Elizabeth is with me. I’m not far from you, but we still need some time here. Listen to me. Relax your senses. I’ll pass my power to you so that I can also feel what you feel. Listen to my instructions and I’ll tell you what to do.]
[What?]
Angel’s elbow was pressed against my wound. I was in so much pain that I could barely maintain my Mindlink.
[Do as I say! Relax your senses and leave it to me.]
Donald’s steady voice was like a shot in the arm. I stopped thinking so much and trusted my mate completely. As Donald said, I completely let go of my mind.
At that moment, Angel seized her opportunity. She pushed her legs up and at the same time, raised her elbows and hit me in the chest.
Due to the relaxation of my mental world, I suffered another sudden blow. My hands and feet lost some strength at the same time, and Angel broke free.
Angel used this opportunity to roll on the ground with me. While completely escaping my shackles, she also kicked me.
[Oh dear.]
I tottered in midair and crashed into a big tree. My body was so weak that I couldn’t control my body at all. I was like a kite with a broken string.
I was half-lying under the tree, using my uninjured shoulder to push my elbow up, but it was only enough to make me half-kneel.
I looked at Angel on the other side. She was already on her feet. She was wearing a very different uniform from before. It was all black. It matched her emerald eyes and she looked like a ghost from hell.
I watched as Angel approached me, a dagger in her hand. I tried to make myself stand, but sadly realized that I didn’t have any strength left.
Even so, I still raised my head and looked at Angel with unyielding eyes. I had done my best in the battle just now. If I was destined to die here today, I hoped that my last moments would be when I stood tall and straight and not dispirited like a loser.
Perhaps my life was short compared to many people, but I met Donald. I had people I loved and people who loved me.
We were meant to be together. We were marked to each other. My soul had passed through a sea of people and met another soul that was 100 percent compatible with me. This made my life complete. I felt happy about my life. Meeting Donald was definitely the best thing that had ever happened to me.
Seeing Angel finally walk up to me, I felt unusually calm and at peace.
