Chapter 158: Pour It In

[Margaret’s Perspective]

Had Elizabeth just drunk the same thing? She couldn’t have done it willingly.

If I drank it all like Angel said, no one would know where Elizabeth and I were taken to. Angel could even kill us both easily. She had wanted to do this to me before.

Can I pretend to drink it and spit it out? I wondered.

I couldn’t. Angel was keeping an eye on me, and there was a Lycan beside me. I wouldn’t get the chance. Besides, that would be too easy to spot. What other way is there? I wondered. Think quickly.

My mind raced. Why isn’t Donald here yet?!

I can’t rely on Donald for everything, I thought. We’re mates. I can’t always rely on Donald to save me.

Mates! We marked each other. We would have a special soul connection. I thought of this, but then I realized that Donald and I had only marked each other for a short time. We had never tried these special abilities after the marking. I didn’t know how to use it.

However, since it was all perception of the soul, it shouldn’t be much different from Mindlink.

I hung my head and pretended to look at the small black bottle. I began to silently call out to Donald.

[Donald, come and save me.]

[I am being held by A…]

Before my message was sent, I felt a strong grip on my chin. I was forced to look up into a pair of dark eyes.

Those eyes seemed to have been dyed black. I could barely see the white of his eyes. I was shocked, and the connection I had just established with Donald was instantly cut off.

The person holding my chin was the Lycan beside Angel. His palm was very big and long. I noticed that he looked very similar to the person who had tried to attack me in the forest.

“Pour the medicine into her,” I heard Angel give the order.

I struggled desperately, but to no avail.

This unfamiliar Lycan took the vial forcefully from my hand and poured it into my mouth. I choked and coughed at his rough movements. The disgusting taste instantly filled my nose and slid down my esophagus. I felt like I was suffocating.

My hand flailed weakly in the air until I swallowed all the liquid. Then the unfamiliar Lycan’s hand left my body.

I heard Angel’s smug laugh, and hatred and helplessness welled up in me at the same time.

“Soon you’ll be as obedient as your sister,” Angel said. “But we have some work to do with both of you.”

Angel took out another small bottle from her body. This time, she approached me personally. I thought she was going to do the same thing again and force me to drink it. But she just opened the bottle and spilled the liquid on me.

I wanted to retreat and escape. I couldn’t follow them out of here like this. Donald would definitely go crazy when he returned and found me missing.

I had never regretted not being able to protect myself as much as I did now. I was too weak in front of Angel. Every time we fought, the outcome was the same. It was as if she was a ferocious beast and I was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Angel studied me for a moment, then nodded and said to the unfamiliar Lycan beside her, “That’s enough. Let’s go.”

No! No!!!

I felt my vision blur. In front of me, Angel’s figure and voice seemed to be shrouded in a mist. I couldn’t see or hear her clearly. I tried my best to bite the tip of my tongue with my teeth, trying to use the pain to retain the last of my consciousness so that I wouldn’t become a marionette at Angel’s mercy like Elizabeth.

I had to send a message to Donald and tell him that I had been taken. I also had to stay awake and make sure that I knew where I was to provide Donald with effective information.

I tried to turn on my special connection with Donald again, but this time there was no sign that we were connected. I felt like I had hit a wall. The message I wanted to send was intercepted by something.

That potion… and whatever Angel sprayed on me. What did they do?

They’d clearly cut me off from the outside world. I’d gone from a connected world to an isolated unit.

My consciousness was slipping from me bit by bit. I saw that the connection between my soul and my body was also being cut off.

I must contact Donald and tell him what happened to me.

Gradually that was the only thought left in my mind. I saw myself clawing uselessly in the air. There was no target.

I took a step forward and stretched out my hand to reach my phone, but my body had no way of keeping its balance anymore. Just as I was about to fall, the Lycan caught me.

Then I felt the world spin. Everywhere I looked, my vision went white.
