Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Daniel’s POV:
Helen and I had been in the Black Stone Pack for several days now.
Ever since we got here, we had been searching high and low for Skylar, but it was as though she had disappeared into thin air.
No matter where we looked, we couldn’t find a trace of her.
At some point, we even started to suspect that Skylar hadn’t even come back to Black Stone Pack.
I texted Jerome that there was no sign of Skylar yet, hoping that they would turn their eyes towards other packs.
Despite things looking bleak, I sent a large number of werewolves to continue the search for Skylar in Black Stone Pack.
Amidst everything, I received a message from my brother, Devin.
“Let’s have dinner at my place at eight o’clock tonight, Daniel.Bring Helen with you.”
That was strange.
Devin and I had always had a complicated relationship.
Why was he inviting us to dinner? Was he just trying to act friendly in front of our parents? Or perhaps he actually wanted to
improve our relationship.
After some slight hesitation, I replied, “Okay.”
Then, I turned off the phone.
I needed to focus.
What was Devin up to? Even though I racked my brains, I still couldn’t figure him out.
There was nothing I could do but wait and see.
Later that day, Helen and I went to Devin’s house at eight o’clock sharp.
But to my surprise, my parents were nowhere to be found.

Did Devin not invite our parents? How awkward if it was just the four of us! After all, my relationship with Devin was, to put it
lightly, strained.
“Helen, be careful.I don’t think tonight is as simple as it seems,” I told Helen.
She nodded and slipped her hand into mine.
We headed to the dining table together.
There was an unexpected guest waiting there.
It was my childhood friend, Mandy.
As soon as we sat down, Mandy approached us.
My expression darkened.
What was she doing here? Why did Devin invite her? “I’m sorry, but this is my seat.”
Mandy stood beside Helen, smiling at her.
She gestured for Helen to switch seats.
Helen eventually relented and sat in the other seat next to me.
“So, you’re the famous Helen.I’ve heard so much about you.Now that you’re at the Black Stone Pack, please feel at home here,”
Mandy said with a smile.
“Who is she?” Helen whispered in my ear.
I abruptly ended the conversation with Mandy and hurried to receive Helen.
“Let’s go home.” I took the gift box from Helen and said goodbye to everyone.
“We’re going back.Let’s do this again some other time.”


Helen waved goodbye to everyone and together, we headed home.
Helen’s POV:
Tonight’s dinner party was definitely strange.
I knew that Daniel’s relationship with his brother was on the rocks, so I had been on edge all night.
But Mandy’s presence was also strange.
She spoke sarcastically at the dinner table, as though she was deliberately trying to stir up a fight.
Grace, on the other hand, was somewhat kind to me.
On the way back to Daniel’s house, I thought about what had happened just now.
Grace brought me to her room and took out a gift box from her closet.
“Helen, this is my gift for you,” she said, handing me the box.
“Please accept it.”
“Thank you!” I accepted it gratefully.
“You’re welcome.We’re going to be family soon, so don’t be too formal with me,” Grace said with a smile.
We chatted in her room for a while.Just as I was about to excuse myself, Grace pulled me aside.
“Wait.There’s something I need to tell you,” she said seriously.
“Helen, I like you ever since we first met.I really hate to see you hurt, so I want to warn you about Mandy.She and Daniel were
very close they almost became a couple.After all, they grew up together.We always thought they would become mates until
Daniel came home with you.”
“Okay, thank you for telling me this.”
I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable afterwards.
I loved Daniel so much, so naturally, I felt jealous knowing that he and Mandy could’ve been something.

When Daniel and I got home, I set the gift box down and sat on the bed, thinking about what Grace had told me.
At this time, Daniel had finished washing up and sat down next to me.
“What’s wrong? You look like something’s on your mind.” Daniel held me in his arms.
“I have something to ask.”
“Honey, what is it? You can ask me anything.” Daniel pinched my cheek dotingly.
