Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 420 Coveting

[Donald’s Perspective]

"Come on, Henry! Now is not the time to be foolish. Once their reinforcements from outside arrive, we won’t be able to escape!"

With the Lycans ceasing their assault, Martha faced much less pressure in combat. Her mind was clearly much sharper than Henry’s, urgency and helplessness apparent on her face.

Henry stood motionless, as if he hadn’t heard Martha’s warning at all.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, a murderous intent flashing within.

"Their submarine just broke down, so they couldn’t achieve their goal of transporting the Lycan Queen. It seems the Moon goddess is on our side! It is destined, Your Highness, you and the queen will definitely be able to leave here safely today!" Elliot, having reverted to his human form, said so nonchalantly while holding his submachine gun.

There were traces of blood on his back, wounds incurred during his struggle with Henry.

I snapped back to reality and glanced at him, my brow slowly furrowing, thinking I should have brought Benjamin along too, leaving just a Medical Practitioner at Anthony’s would have been enough.

Many Lycans got injured in the recent battle, and a few Lycan warriors couldn’t withstand the relentless attacks by the beasts and perished here!

I felt heavy-hearted, knowing this would lead to more casualties, but I had no better plan to lead everyone out of the encirclement to escape. Staying in position and waiting for help was the best tactic we could employ to minimize casualties.

After resting for two minutes by my side, Margaret seemed to have regained some strength. She looked up at Elliot’s departing figure and explained in a soft voice, "The submarine didn’t break down for no reason. Anthony and I together sabotaged its energy storage unit, delaying their second departure time, and that’s how we managed to wait for your rescue."

I looked down at Margaret, slightly curved my mouth, and praised her, "You’re really smart, my dear. If it weren’t for your and Anthony’s teamwork, we might have been too late to stop them! And Anthony, if he hadn’t opened the Stone Gate from inside in time, we wouldn’t have had the chance to come in and save you both."

Margaret chuckled lightly and said warmly to me, "That’s the understanding between us! If you hadn’t had Anthony sneak in ahead of time, I couldn’t have stopped them from leaving by myself. What Elliot said was right—the Moon goddess is indeed on our side."

"And those who commit many evils, full of sins, are destined not to receive the Moon goddess’s blessings." Margaret’s last words were clearly not intended for me as she looked sideways at Henry across from us with undisguised disgust and hatred!

At that moment, I also looked over and saw Henry’s face, which had been cold and indifferent, slowly crumble after hearing Margaret’s words.

His eyes twitched sickly for a moment, and he slightly tilted his chin up, stubbornly asking, "So, this is how you see me? ’Committing many evils,’ ’full of sins’? Am I any worse than this bastard? Just because you met him first, I didn’t have a chance..."

He suddenly laughed out loud, his gaze towards Margaret turning crazed, I even saw a sort of possessive affection in his eyes!

My expression instantly turned icy, and as I looked at Henry, it was as if I was looking at a dead man. I interrupted his soliloquy, "You seem to love spouting nonsense now. Is this part of a villain’s usual script? I used to think you were smart, but it seems you are not."

Henry’s gaze turned malevolent as if he wished to devour me alive. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

I was unafraid of such a gaze and held Margaret, looking at him coldly as I continued, "Because smart people don’t dare covet everything that belongs to the Lycan King! You are not only foolish but also mad beyond basic sense. Perhaps you should listen to Martha and give up some unrealistic fantasies early and accept the outcome of dying by my hands!"

After saying that, I let go of Margaret and slowly stood up from the ground. I sensed what Margaret feared I would do, and she quickly grabbed the hem of my clothes.

"Hold him back, that will be enough. No need to engage directly! He has several potions on him that can heal injuries. Don’t clash directly with him; stay calm!" Margaret urgently said, looking into my eyes with worry and disapproval.

I knew Margaret was worried about me, but I couldn’t bear Henry’s excessive ’probing’. He even dared to covet my Margaret, as if he thought his life was too long and was eager to die!

"Some boundaries are not meant to be tested by others, especially since he has always wanted to replace me, Henry!" I patted Margaret’s hand, signaling her to be at ease and not hold me back этапных.

Margaret looked at me, her expression slightly stunned as she seemed unable to comprehend the meaning in my words.

I didn’t blame Margaret for her momentary slow response, for certain traits encoded in the male species’s genes are completely incomprehensible to adorable females like her.

I wouldn’t allow anyone to covet my mate unless he was completely dead!

So, Henry must die here today.
