CHAPTER 48 Unknown Poison

  Jacob's POV

  At the moment Margaret gave up, I connected with Allen through our telepathic link and had him leave the dark room. Although I didn't see Oscar's last note, I didn't want to believe that Margaret would betray Berserk, the pack she helped me build. It seems I was right, but I want to know what changed her mind.

  "Why did you give up?" I asked.

  Margaret turned to me in shock. "Why aren't you asleep?!" Her expression went from surprise to panic, but I felt ecstatic at her words.

  From the contents of Oscar's note, I suspected he was deceiving her. She probably didn't even know the potion was poisonous. It seemed that was the case now and I felt so happy and relieved that she never intented to kill me.

  I slowly approached her, trapping her between the door and my arms. I looked down at her. "Tell me why? Is it because of me?" I reached out and put a strand of hair that had fallen on her ear back in place.
