Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Daniel’s POV:
Today, I met Helen again.
She was as beautiful and poised as the first time I saw her.
But this time, after exchanging texts with her last night, I knew her a little better.
Although the only words we said to each other were a simple greeting, I couldn’t stop beaming happily.
Helen and Jennifer were chatting.
I didn’t know if I was just imaging things, but I kept catching Helen’s gaze falling on me.
There was a moment when our eyes met.I was so nervous that I looked away in a hurry.
“Then we’ll meet your father tomorrow at noon, Helen.How about we meet in this same cafe?”
Jennifer asked Helen.
When I saw Helen nod in agreement, my heart almost exploded at joy at the thought that I would get to see her again
tomorrow.
Wait, was I paying too much attention to Helen? Besides, why did I always smile subconsciously whenever I thought of her?
After the discussion, the five of us walked out of the cafe.
It was noon, and the street was bustling with activity.
Skylar looked at us and suggested, “We don’t have anything else to do for the whole day.How about we look around? We can
see the local customs of the Rainbow Pack.”
Jennifer’s eyes lit up at this.
“Good idea.I’ll take my brother to the places we used to go when we were children.Maybe it will help jog his memory.”
“Okay, sounds good,” Dylan agreed.
I was about to follow them, but someone grabbed my wrist from behind.When I turned around, I saw Helen standing there.

“Daniel, may I invite you to lunch?” Helen looked at me expectantly.
Of course I wanted to take whatever excuse I could get to spend time with her, but at the same time, I was a little hesitant.
I didn’t know how to get along alone with a she-wolf.
Jennifer and Skylar pushed me from behind.
“He agrees.Daniel would really like to have a meal with you, Helen.”
I didn’t expect that Jennifer and Skylar would accept Helen’s invitation on behalf of me.I was at a loss whether to cry or to
laugh.
It would be rude to refuse Helen at this point, so I just nodded.Skylar seemed to be happier than I was.
She pushed me towards Helen and added, “Daniel, have a good time.See you at the hotel later.”
Helen and I inadvertently caught each other’s eyes and exchanged an awkward smile.
It was painfully obvious that my friends were trying to set me up with her.
“There’s a good fried chicken restaurant nearby, but I’ve never been there before.How about we go there?” Helen asked me
politely.
“Sure,” I agreed with a smile.
Under Jennifer’s and Skylar’s eager gazes, Helen and I left.
When I turned my head back, I saw Skylar pumping up her fists to cheer me on.
I flashed her a tight smile before turning back.
The walk with Helen was nerve-wracking, to say the least.
Since we were not familiar with each other, we didn’t know what to talk about, so we walked in silence.
When we arrived at the fried chicken restaurant she mentioned, I saw that it was crowded with customers.
There was a queue of people waiting for their turn.

It seemed that this restaurant was a popular place in this area.
When it was our turn to be seated, we chose a table in a corner, where it was relatively quiet and peaceful.
Helen was right.
The fried chicken here tasted heavenly.
I was happily digging into my food when I heard Helen call my name.I paused and looked up questioningly at her.
“There’s Sauce near your mouth.”
I froze and let Helen wipe the sauce from the corner of my mouth.I was stunned.
Only I knew how wild my heartbeat was at that moment.
It was as if my heart would jump out of my chest.My ears burned, and I was sure they were bright red by now.
What was wrong with me? After we were done having lunch, Helen took me to an amusement park.While we were sitting on
the Ferris wheel together, I listened to her talk about what was on her mind.
“My mother died a long time ago, and my father was too busy to accompany me.I’d often come here and ride the Ferris wheel
alone.I’m really happy that I have you with me here this time.I don’t feel lonely anymore.”
As Helen spoke, she turned to look at me and beamed.
“Thank you, Daniel.”
“No...You’re welcome,” I stammered, feeling flattered.
I was happy that I could be a source of comfort to her.While sitting on the Ferris wheel, I looked at Helen’s face carefully.
She had a pair of big eyes that shone brightly when she looked at others.
The Ferris wheel kept moving, but I felt like my world stopped.
Only Helen’s smile lingered in my mind.
In the evening, after leaving the amusement park, we had dinner together.

Helen seemed to be in high spirits.
While eating, she asked, “Daniel, have you ever had a mate?”
