Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV:
It was another sleepless night for me.
The thought of attending the banquet tomorrow gave me mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I was really looking forward to seeing Anthony again.
On the other hand, knowing that this banquet was the anniversary celebration of Arthur’s succession to the position of Alpha
made me uncomfortable.
It was like a celebration of my father’s death.
Arthur had only risen to his current position after killing my father and destroying our family.
He was the person I hated most in the world, but I had to swallow my hatred and disgust while watching him swagger around
like a winner.
I really didn’t know how I was going to face him and Ella tomorrow.
Their invitation to me was obviously not as innocent or generous as it seemed.
They just wanted to take this opportunity to rub it in my face and maybe set a trap for me.
At this crucial time, my brother and Skylar were not here, so I had to be even more cautious.
However, I felt that as long as I could see Anthony again, it was all worth it.
I missed him terribly.
The truth was, we hadn’t been apart for a long time, but it felt like an eternity.
Maybe my anxiety would be gone once I saw Anthony with my own eyes tomorrow.
Just then, my phone vibrated on the bedside table.
When I picked it up, I saw that I was getting a call from Skylar.

“Hello, Skylar.”
Holding the phone to my ear, I walked to the window and looked outside.
“Jennifer, Dylan and I have arrived at the royal palace of Osman Kingdom.We inquired about Mr.Jones as soon as we got
here.We heard that he’s going to attend the celebration banquet in the Rainbow Pack tomorrow.”
“How is he now?”I asked.
“Don’t worry.He is safe.Nothing happened to him.But we didn’t get to see him yet.As soon as we arrived at his residence, we
were stopped by some attendants arranged by Caroline.Dylan and I are waiting for the right chance to go there again.”
Only after hearing that could I breathe a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad he’s fine.As long as he’s not in danger, I can relax.Thank you, Skylar, and please convey my thanks to Dylan.”
“You don’t have to thank us.And Jennifer, please be careful over there.”
“I will.You too.”
“Dylan and I will come back to be with you as soon as possible.I didn’t expect that we wouldn’t get to meet Mr.Jones this
time.It’s so annoying.But luckily, you are going to meet each other soon.Otherwise, you would miss him too much,”Skylar
teased.
“Yes, thank you for reuniting us, kind and beautiful Skylar.”
Skylar burst into laughter on the other end of the line.
After exchanging a few more jokes, I hung up the phone with a bitter smile.
Now that I knew for certain that Anthony would be attending the banquet tomorrow, I had to go as well.
I didn’t care whether it was a trap or not.
As long as I could see him again, I was not afraid of anything.
The next morning, I carefully got dressed.

Since it had been a long time since Anthony had seen me, I wanted to impress him at first sight.
Daniel had to wait for me for a long time.
Knowing that I was still getting ready, he didn’t urge me, but just waited downstairs patiently.
When I finally walked down, he stood up and said, “I’ll accompany you to the banquet.Helen and Simon will be there too.Of
course, we have to pretend like we don’t know them.Otherwise, they’ll be in trouble.”
I nodded.
“You’re right.Let’s be careful.It’s obvious that this banquet is a trap for us.”
Daniel and I had already discussed the matter and decided that we had to be on alert all the time to guard ourselves against
any problems.
When we arrived at the venue, the banquet had just started, and the place was bustling with activity.
Well-dressed guests were flooding into the venue.
But when I walked into the banquet hall, all eyes turned to me.
“Who is she?”
“She looks a lot like the daughter of our previous Alpha.”
“I heard that that girl was a jinx.Anyone who got close to her would meet a bad fate.”
I was used to people gossiping about me like this so I didn’t pay them any attention, but Daniel clenched his fists in anger and
tried to go up to them to put them in their place.
I grabbed his wrist and shook my head at him.
“Forget it.Let their words go through one ear and out the other.Sooner or later, the truth will come to light.”
Daniel reluctantly nodded and stepped aside.
At this time, Arthur and Ella made their grand entrance.

The noise in the banquet hall immediately died down, as if a blanket had been thrown over the whole place.
It seemed that Arthur had a certain hold over the werewolves in the Rainbow Pack, but it was probably less out of respect
and more out of fear.
“Let’s welcome Jennifer Smith, the daughter of the late Alpha Lewis.Her presence here is a great honor to the Rainbow
Pack.”
Of all the things I had been prepared for before coming to the banquet, Arthur announcing my identity so blatantly in front of
everyone was not one of them.
