[Margaret’s Perspective]

I took stock of the situation again and saw that the Lycans were rushing over from behind Angel. Elliot was barely holding on with our men in front.

“Go!” Elliot bellowed.

Without hesitation, I ran toward the cabin.

However, we were clearly too late. The Lycans from the other party were surprisingly fast. Just as we ran up the steps in front of the cabin, we were surrounded by several charging Lycans. Elizabeth and I had no choice but to lean against the wooden door and defend ourselves against them.

Why aren’t Eric and Anthony out yet??I wondered.?Couldn’t they hear the commotion outside? Where have they gone?!

[Angel’s Perspective]

I raised a flashing dagger and calmly circled the flat ground with Elliot.

In my peripheral vision, I could already see the men I’d brought surrounding Margaret and Elizabeth.

I came here at this time based on Master’s information. He had promised me that I could deal with them with the help of the people I had with me.

“Seriously, Elliot? Are you really determined to protect these weak werewolves?”

I watched Elliot’s footwork as I tried to distract him with words.

“I know about your grievances. You want the Lycan pack to become stronger. You should believe that I think the same way you do. We both want the Lycans to be better. But Donald is getting weaker because of his werewolf mate. Why else do you think we can restrict his movements? It’s all because he chose the wrong kind of mate who doesn’t deserve him.”

“It is not advisable at any time to solve a problem through war and violence,” Elliot said.

“As long as you give up resisting, I promise there won’t be any bloodshed or unnecessary sacrifices here.” I winked at Elliot and gave him a charming smile. I knew it had worked with him before.

“Donald has made so many bad decisions because of his mate. For our Pack, for our glory and dignity, we should pull him back from the wrong path. The Lycans should have more territory and dominance. The werewolves don’t have the right to own this place. Think about why we came here in the first place. Think about what changed your minds.”

I nimbly dodged one of Elliot’s attacks.

He was indeed Donald’s beta. Even though he was affected by my words, his attacks were still as sharp as ever. However, he was still lacking if he wanted to pose a threat to me.

I tried harder. “What we have to do is not blindly obey orders. In that case, we’re no different from marionettes.”

“Use your brain. Make your own judgment, Elliot. Which direction is right and which side is truly righteous. Everything I’m doing will lead us to a brighter future. You’re helping a loser. That’s the act of a coward.”

Elliot made a rude growling sound in his throat, and I knew he was irritated by me.

His attacks became more violent, which meant more openings. I knew I was about to win.

“You’re not making sense,” Elliot said suddenly.

He slammed his fist into the tree behind me. I saw a crack appear in the trees.

“Werewolves do have a lot of weaknesses compared to us Lycans, but that doesn’t mean they’re worthless. If we are stronger, we would have a responsibility and obligation to protect them, not treat them as our slaves.” Elliot even looked at me with a hint of pity.

I was a little shocked by his transformation. I heard Elliot continue, “Angel, you’ve never understood these things. There are some things that are above pure power, but they often have another, greater energy. It’s enough to allow tiny individuals with no power to shake things up. Sooner or later, you’ll be defeated by what you think is weak.”

For a moment, I hesitated because of Elliot’s words.

This caused me to miss a moment in attacking, but Elliot was clearly more determined to strike.

I took a frantic step back out of the way. Suddenly, from the direction of the cabin came a scream.

Elliot and I stopped at the same time and looked in that direction. It was Margaret’s scream. They were completely surrounded by my people. Any faint resistance was futile. The people around Elliot were also suppressed by my people. The outcome of the battle was clear.

A sneer slowly appeared on my lips. “It seems that you’re just bluffing. You’re the one who’s defeated.”

Elliot’s face darkened.

“I’ll give you one last chance.” I let my wolf transform. Snow-white fur covered my palm. I licked the corner of my mouth and said, “We’ve already won. Surrender to me, Elliot. In the future, you’ll still be Lycans’ beta. Nothing you have will change.”
