Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 261: Psycho Attack
[Margaret’s POV]
As long as she could completely enrage Angel, causing her to lose her ability to think rationally, Mark and his people ambushed in the birch forest would seize the opportunity to capture Angel and a few rogue leaders!
Indeed, the reason Donald was striking up so much conversation with Angel was merely to create a favorable time and opportunity for Mark and his team.
Just a few minutes ago, Mark, dispatched by Donald, had suddenly informed us of his plan through a mind-link...
Initially, he had not found an opportunity to strike at Angel in the forest, until there was a sudden change in the stand-off on the battlefield—that was when Angel and those rogue leaders, escorting our incarcerated Lycans, walked out. That’s when Mark, on the spur of the moment, stealthily surrounded them with the intention of capturing Angel directly!
Of course, the prerequisite was to ensure the safety of all our fellow Lycans.
"Yes! I have betrayed the Wolf royal family and my own clan. Anyone can call me a traitor, but you cannot! Donald, you cannot call me a traitor! I’m doing all this for you!"
Angel continued to ramble on, stubbornly insisting that none of this was her fault and that she was innocent!
"Really? Was it I who made you severely injure Elliot, was it I who made you betray your own trust, was it I pressing down on your neck forcing you to cooperate with MASTER?" Donald asked back calmly, his intense glare seeming as though it was about to materialize into something tangible the next second.
And these continuous counter-questions instantly became the last straw that broke Angel’s spirit!
At that moment, Angel seemed to realize her inability to refute and, collapsing mentally, she raised her hand high, pointing her gun directly at Donald.
My heart tightened suddenly, and my reflexes acted faster than my brain could control my body!
I stepped forward and shielded Donald, and the bullet that should have hit Donald directly in the chest unexplainably missed by a lot...
"Hmm!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Margaret! You..."
The bullet grazed the flesh on my shoulder, and I let out an involuntary grunt from the intense pain that nearly shattered me.
Donald’s cry of alarm sounded almost simultaneously above my head, and as I instinctively looked up at him, I could only make out his eyes full of surprise and fear before my lids slowly closed in exhaustion!
I felt such pain all over, and I was utterly exhausted...
[Donald’s POV]
The vivid red blossom of pain on Margaret’s shoulder shocked my eyes!
Instinctively, I stretched out my arms and urgently embraced Margaret, who was collapsing into my arms. I had not realized how panicked and fearful I was in that second.
I was kneeling on the ground, holding Margaret, my fingers trembling as I dared not touch her face, "Margaret? Baby? How are you, don’t scare me! Please wake up, talk to me, okay?"
With her eyes closed, Margaret did not respond to any of my questions. I watched as her face lost color instantly, and I was dumbstruck!
It wasn’t until I heard other people around me that I suddenly came to my senses, turned around, and hysterically shouted: "Bring Benjamin here, Margaret is injured! Benjamin? Where is Benjamin?"
"Your Majesty! Please don’t panic, Benjamin is right behind; he’ll be here any moment!"
Louis also had immediately rushed over when Angel fired the shot, and now he was helplessly looking at me and the unconscious Margaret.
"Your Majesty, please don’t worry, the Lycan Queen was only shot in the shoulder!" a Lycan squatting at my left desperately said.
His reassurance was ineffective for me. I gave him a cold side glance, wanting to ask him what he meant by ’only shot in the shoulder?’ Did he not realize who Margaret was? I wouldn’t allow Margaret to suffer any injury by my side!
Yet the irony was, being by my side, Margaret was always bound to get hurt.
Intimidated by my look, that Lycan froze on the spot, while Benjamin at that moment rushed over swiftly.
I didn’t bother with that Lycan anymore, focusing back on Margaret and Benjamin, "She took a bullet for me and then passed out. Quick, check how she is!"
Benjamin, having been immersed in battlefield medics for many years, was naturally adept at emergency care. He nodded respectfully at me and then started examining Margaret’s wound.
Staring at the bloody gunshot wound, my hands holding Margaret trembled slightly, and Benjamin probably noticed but said nothing.
"The bullet is lodged in the bone! We need to perform surgery on the Lycan Queen immediately to remove the bullet! Your Majesty, we don’t have adequate medical equipment in the vehicle, we need to head back to the hospital in Royal City now!"
Benjamin just needed a few glances to determine Margaret’s condition, his tone extremely grave. I naturally understood the urgency of the situation.
