Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate

Chapter 18: Lovers Are Friends Too (1)

[Margaret’s POV]

I suddenly felt sorry for my sister. I always thought that she was doted on and could have whatever she wanted. I had never done my part as an older sister. I didn’t think she needed me at all.

But from the looks of it, that was not entirely true. Perhaps Elizabeth’s life was not as good as it seemed.

He might really be up to something.

I thought about it and tried to comfort Elizabeth.

“Something happened to the pack next door. They were all nervous. Armstrong is the Alpha of the pack. He has to care about these things.”

Elizabeth waved her hand.

“I don’t understand any of this. But Margaret, I think Armstrong treats me differently than he treats you. You always had endless things to talk about. I mean, you two were good friends before, and even now, you have a lot to say to each other.

He and I are mates, but I don’t know if all mates are like this. Of course we desire each other. But other than that, I feel that Armstrong doesn’t value me. At least, not like how he valued you before. I don’t understand what went wrong. Are you and Donald like this too?”

I had not expected this. When Elizabeth and Armstrong stood together, they had always been a perfect match. They looked happy together.

“I don’t know. Uh, Elizabeth, do you love him? Do you love Armstrong?” I asked, holding Elizabeth’s hand.

“Of course I love him.” Elizabeth didn’t look as determined as she sounded. “He’s the Alpha of the pack. Every girl in every tribe wants to marry him. He’s tall, handsome, smart, and strong. He’s still the mate the Moon Goddess chose for me. When I saw him show up that day, I felt hot all over. Doesn’t that mean I love him?”

I didn’t know how to answer Elizabeth. Listening to Elizabeth tell me how she felt about Armstrong made me feel complicated.

I was sure I wouldn’t be moved by Armstrong anymore. All my love was tied to Donald alone now, but hearing my sister talk about what happened between her and my ex still made me feel weird.

I realized pathetically that I couldn’t fix relationship problems for my sister. I didn’t even know what to do with Armstrong myself. We were lovers and friends.

Later we weren’t lovers, but I thought we could still be friends. Now I wasn’t sure about this anymore. If he really hurt my sister’s feelings in the future, or if there was a conflict between them, should I support my sister? Could we still be friends? This was really a mess.

“You guys might just need time,” I managed to say.

“Maybe.” Elizabeth did not immerse herself in her emotions for too long and pointed her finger at me. “You haven’t told me what happened between you and the Lycan King. Anthony and I were walking towards the venue with the Lycan King when he suddenly walked towards you and announced in front of so many people that you were each other’s mate. After he took you away, I could not contact you anymore!”

Elizabeth glanced at me questioningly, as if her relationship problems had never existed. Her gaze made me uncomfortable.

But I knew that if I didn’t tell her, she would keep asking.

“It’s what you saw. I wanted to contact you yesterday too. I called you, but you didn’t answer,” I explained.

“Is that so?” Elizabeth looked down at her phone. Her attitude was still annoying. “Maybe. There were too many people looking for me yesterday. A lot of people wanted to ask me about you. I couldn’t handle them.”

“Then I’ll go back with you to deal with those things now.” I sighed. This was what I had planned. I had only gotten back on track after being pestered by Elizabeth and asking a lot of questions.

“You should have come back yesterday.”

I ignored her and put on my pink heels.

I felt like I was stepping on stilts. I took two tentative steps. It could only be described as treading on thin ice. I would definitely fall if I wore these shoes! I began to hate Elizabeth again.

But I had no choice. I didn’t know where my shoes had gone yesterday. They probably fell when Donald picked me up.

I looked over at Elizabeth. She was wearing a pair of blue shoes that were about the same height. Even if I exchanged shoes with her, it would have been useless.

Forget it,?I thought.?It’s not that far. I’ll be fine walking home,?I reassured myself. I followed Elizabeth out like a child who had just learned to walk.
