[Margaret’s Perspective]

Donald’s reply came very fast. I felt that the mark between us had also strengthened our Mindlink connection. He could now sense the messages I sent him immediately.

[Very soon. I’ve found a new reliable candidate for you. I’ll bring him back to pick you up.]

I checked my phone again after seeing Donald’s message. Elizabeth still hadn’t replied.

I really didn’t know how long it would take her to pack those bags. She couldn’t be thinking of moving her entire home to the royal Lycan pack, right? I felt a little helpless about my sister. I didn’t know when she would stop her habit of only caring about her own priorities.

If Donald had already brought his man over and Elizabeth still hadn’t arrived, perhaps I would have asked him to send his man to pick her up. This wasn’t troublesome. If we were all at home, it would be troublesome if all her things were still spread out on the bed.

I sent two more messages to rush her, but there was still no response.

Seeing that it was almost time for my appointment with Donald, I walked to the closet and got my luggage ready.

At that moment, I heard a knock on the door.

I thought that Donald had returned, but I realized immediately that he didn’t need to knock to enter this room. He would walk straight in.

It had to be Elizabeth. I could even hear her signature high-heeled shoes outside the door.

Thankfully, Elizabeth was punctual for once and had already packed her luggage before Donald returned.

I opened the door and spoke before I could see the other party’s face. “You’re finally here. Why didn’t you reply to my…”

I forcefully swallowed the word ‘messages’.

Standing in front of me was not my familiar beautiful sister, Elizabeth, but another face that was equally familiar and beautiful, but one that disgusted me to the extreme.

It was Angel.

“It has been a long time, Margaret,” Angel greeted me with a smile.

But my stomach only felt nauseous.

“What are you doing here?” I said coldly. “It seems that Donald had warned you not to appear in front of me again, or else…”

Angel cut me off.

“We’ve just met, and you’re already saying such hostile words? This isn’t like your usual delicate self in front of Donald.”

“I don’t have anything friendly to say to you.”

I reached out to close the door. Angel was like a poisonous snake. You never knew when she was going to bite you. The best way to protect yourself from her was to stay away.

But Angel reached out and pressed her hand against the door. She was very strong. I felt as if a thousand-pound stone had been pressed against the top of the door. It was difficult for me to push it back any further.

“What are you doing?” I said in shock and anger.

I couldn’t believe Angel would dare to attack me here. She must have used a lot of strength. This was Donald’s territory. As long as I made a huge commotion, I would definitely catch the attention of those around. Then Angel wouldn’t be able to leave this place easily.

“Don’t be so grumpy.” Angel raised a finger and made a shushing gesture with her lips.

I glowered at her, almost wanting to call out and draw people over.

But Angel gestured again, and an unfamiliar werewolf appeared beside her. I guessed from the size that he was a Lycan too.

The unfamiliar werewolf was holding a sharp dagger to someone’s neck. He exuded a cold, murderous aura.

“Keep quiet now, okay?” Angel said with a smile.

I immediately shut up.

That someone was Elizabeth.

When had Elizabeth fallen into Angel’s hands?

Angel was actually holding Elizabeth hostage. What does she want?! I thought.

Angel looked at me with satisfaction and said, “That’s the spirit. I want to come in and have a cup of tea. Will you invite me in?”

“Let go of Elizabeth first,” I whispered. “Come at me if you want to do anything. I can be your hostage. Let Elizabeth go.”

Angel’s lips curved into an enigmatic smile. “What a good sister. But this is not the time for you to make demands. Let me in or I’ll have her throat slit.”

Towards the end, Angel’s tone became sinister.

“You can’t leave here if you kill her,” I said.

“Then we might as well give it a try and see if you’re willing to risk your sister’s life.” Angel chuckled and shot a look at the person next to her.

I saw the blade move a little further on Elizabeth’s throat, making a thin red mark on her neck.

“Don’t!” I hissed.

Angel blinked at me as if she were an innocent little girl, but in my eyes, her exquisite face was like a demon from hell.

I knew I had no choice. If I continued to hesitate, the knife would really cut Elizabeth’s throat. No matter what, I couldn’t risk her life.

“Come in,” I said.
