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

Chapter 108: Shadow in the Forest

[Elizabeth’s Perspective]

My mind made up, I jumped out of bed and quickly picked out clothes in the closet.

My sloppy appearance in the afternoon was an accident.

I began to fiddle with my scattered bottles in an orderly fashion. I carefully applied foundation to my face and applied loose powder to my makeup. Then I added some shadows and highlights to make my facial features more defined.

From top to bottom, I first used an eyebrow pencil and eyebrow powder to paint my eyebrows into a perfect shape. Then I applied eye shadow to outline my slightly raised eye lines. Finally, I brushed on mascara and placed some glitter at the end of my eyes.

The makeup process made me feel better. I enjoyed the process of making myself beautiful. I liked giving myself a makeover with these magical bottles and jars. It gave me a sense of self-worth.

If only Luna’s job was just to teach others how to put on makeup. Looking at myself in the mirror, I thought regretfully that if that was the case, I would definitely be the best Luna.

I hesitated for a moment over the choice of lipstick for the finishing touch.

Due to my personal preference, I was biased towards bright eye-catching colors. I hoped that everyone would see me at first glance. However, it was almost dark now, so I couldn’t see any color clearly.

I finally chose a color somewhere between red and brown, with a hint of orange. There was very little brown. With the watery texture, the prints looked like flowers blooming in the mountains.

By the time I walked out of the house, it was completely dark. In the night, there was only some light coming from the scattered houses. There were some ground lights on the road, but they were a little dim. Not only did they not help, but they added to the scary atmosphere.

I was a little hesitant, but when I thought about the makeup I had just put on, I was unwilling to go back.

Without Anthony by my side, even the familiar road made me feel a little uneasy.

I braced myself and walked forward for a few hundred meters. I felt that the two rows of trees by the side of the road were even more alarming. After being frightened by the shadows of the trees on the sides of the road again, I decided to go back and wait until tomorrow to see Margaret.

At that moment, I saw a dark figure in the woods not far away.

At first, I thought it was another illusion caused by the wind, but the shadow kept moving in my direction, and the silhouette was getting clearer.

That was definitely a person!

I sucked in my breath.

My previous trip to the forest with Armstrong cast a deep shadow over me. I decided then that I would never go to the forest again before the matter was over.

Therefore, I couldn’t understand why Margaret would take the initiative to go to the forest. However, this was the center of the pack, and there were werewolves who had lived here for many years nearby. After Armstrong ordered that no one was allowed to walk around at night, the streets were almost empty at night. This was also the reason why I had walked all the way here.

I couldn’t understand why such bad luck seemed to follow me.

The shadow moved very quickly. There was no one beside me now. Anthony was in a hospital bed. Armstrong obviously wouldn’t care about me suddenly in the night.

I felt like my brain was spinning faster than ever. At my own speed, I definitely couldn’t compare to this black shadow, not to mention that I was wearing 10cm heels. The black shadow would probably reach me before I could run back to my house.

What now?

My mind went blank. My legs seemed to be nailed in place.

This was too sudden.

My mind was even starting to imagine the other party pouncing on me and tearing me apart.

As the shadow approached, I closed my eyes and prayed that he would move quickly and let me die a quick death without causing me too much pain.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… ten seconds.

A minute passed.

I still didn’t feel any pain.

But I could sense the other party walking up to me and standing right in front of me.

Does he have to hesitate about where to start??I thought.

I clenched my fists at my sides, secretly hoping that I would look better when I died. I had specially changed my clothes and put on makeup to go out this time. Although I wasn’t looking for death, if I had to die now, this appearance would be much better than the sloppy appearance in the afternoon.

On the other hand, if Armstrong had sent someone to drive me back in the afternoon, I wouldn’t be at a loss in the face of death here.

“What are you doing with your eyes closed?” I heard a feminine voice say.

I opened my eyes in confusion and realized that the person standing in front of me was not the assassin killer I had imagined. Instead, it was a tall woman with perfect facial features.

She was wearing a tight-fitting uniform that revealed her curvaceous figure.

I recognized this person. She was the woman beside the Lycan King!
