Chapter 60: Superior Logic _ 1
[Margaret’s Perspective]
I admitted that I couldn’t beat her now. She was the commander of the assault team. I didn’t need to fight her to know that she was far stronger than me. But this situation wouldn’t last forever. I would learn and improve. One day, I would be like her, or even stronger. But I didn’t need to explain these things to her. I didn’t do things to prove myself to her. I just wanted to do better.
Angel looked around my and Donald’s room. She kept frowning and her gaze was sharp, as if she was the master of the place. Her gaze made me uncomfortable. I tried to contact Donald or Elliot with my mind. I couldn’t get her out of here, but one of them could.
“You guys just got out of bed, right?”
I didn’t expect Angel to talk to me about this.
“I can smell Donald on you. After all, I’m very familiar with his scent,” Angel said meaningfully.
“Donald must have told you about what happened between us. There was a small misunderstanding between us, but we’ll resolve it.”
I tried the Mindlink connection and failed. I hadn’t fully developed this feature yet. I guessed that it probably had something like a control switch that allowed you to selectively receive information. From Donald’s use of it, he could even set different permissions for different people or transmit messages to multiple people at once, but I obviously couldn’t do it yet.
It seemed that I could only rely on myself to deal with Angel.
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
I rose from the bed and met her eyes.
“You’re just a lowly race. All you can offer is the benign value that any female wolf or even a beast can provide. You can be replaced by anyone at any time. And I can do more for him. He’ll find that he can’t leave me. Then he’ll know who can stay by his side.”
Angel said arrogantly.
“Then what’s so great about you? You think you’re high and mighty, but you’re just relying on your background.”
I quickly retorted. Angel’s words annoyed me. I really couldn’t understand her superior logic. Donald should be the most noble among them, but I had never seen Donald treat anyone like an ant.
Although Donald was strong and autocratic at times, he was Lycan King. Everyone needed his decisions. He always respected everyone around him, no matter their status.
“Yeah. Some people are born in Rome, like me. And some people never get to Rome in their lives. The most she deserves is to touch a Roman’s toes and then slink away. Like you.”
In the past, such humiliation and provocation would have made me feel inferior. But now, it could only stimulate my anger.
“Your idea is ridiculous! You can try and see if Donald will be yours,” I retorted.
“Hahaha, you’re so weak. Even if I fight you with one hand, you can’t defeat me. What right do you have to stand beside Donald?” Angel flipped her long golden hair, which was exactly the same color as Donald’s.
My anger burned hotter and hotter inside me, until I couldn’t contain it anymore. Admittedly, she was very powerful. But was power everything? The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Those who had power should protect the weak and care for the world with compassion, not use power to bully those who were inferior to them.
“I’ll be strong. But I’ll never be like you, looking down on people.”
“Oh, really?” Angel leaned closer to me playfully. “You don’t even know what happened to your pack. You can’t even protect your own pack, but you’re here saying that you’ll become stronger. You’re just a parasite living under Donald’s protection. Without him, you’re nothing.”
I clenched my fists. I wanted to protect my pack too, but I couldn’t do anything without Donald’s permission.
“Or shall I give you a chance so you can prove it to me?” Angel’s breath was like a viper’s whisper in my ear.
“If you don’t dare, then what you said just now was all about putting on a brave front. You might as well admit that you’re a useless piece of trash who can’t do anything. You can only rely on climbing up Donald to touch the toes of the Romans.”
“I can do it!” I knew this was a trap, but I still stepped into it. I couldn’t accept anyone saying that about me. Donald and I were meant to be partners. I wouldn’t be his burden and vassal.
“Sure. This is the patrol team’s token. Do you dare go?”
Angel took a token from her pocket and waved it at me.
The moonlight was bright and clear. It flowed into my room like water from the window, illuminating Angel’s smiling face. I knew that there was evil intent hidden underneath. But at this moment, I had no choice.
My gaze focused on Angel’s outstretched hand. Her hand was very white and beautiful. I took the token with a slight tremble. I felt like I was taking the tempting and sinful apple from the Viper’s hand. At that moment, I heard something land. It was very soft. I didn’t care.
‘I dare,’ I replied.
“We’ll see.” Angel smiled and left my room.
