Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved, Chapter 290: The Jealous Anthony

Carl’s POV: 

I stared at the queen in a daze.

Her delicate facial features awakened my memories.

She was as beautiful as I remembered.

Several days ago, when I received the wedding invitation from the royal family, I was shocked to see the photo of

the would-be queen on it.

She looked so familiar.

Wasn’t she my childhood playmate, Jennifer? Who would’ve thought that, not long after I became an Alpha, my old

friend Jennifer would become a queen? I couldn’t I actually had the opportunity to see her again.

But I was not sure if Jennifer still remembered me.

After all, we hadn’t seen each other in years.

Despite my doubts, I decided to attend the ceremony.

Those innocent days in our childhood were so wonderful and unforgettable! Even though years had passed since

then, I had never forgotten Jennifer.

I had even tried to get any information about her after I became Alpha.I had wanted to see her again.I wanted to

know how she was doing.

Little did I know that her coronation ceremony was where we would meet again! My eyes were fixed on Jennifer, as

though I was in a trance.

She looked back at me, and I couldn’t help but smile at her.She looked very surprised to see me, with her eyes as

wide as saucers.

Oh, my God! Did Jennifer recognize me? It looked like it.

After all, her eyes flickered with recognition.

Why else would she be so surprised to see me? Thinking about this, I got excited as old memories rushed to my

mind.

When I was a child, my father was the Alpha of our pack and I lived a carefree life.

Sadly, the good times didn’t last long.

The year I turned five years old, our pack was attacked and our territory was invaded.

My parents were captured and tortured to death.

I only managed to escape thanks to the protection of my servants, but I had almost gone rogue.

If it weren’t for my father’s best friend who adopted me when I was young, I probably wouldn’t have survived.

I came to live with my adoptive parents, who were werewolves of the Rainbow Pack.

That was where I met Jennifer.

She was the daughter of the Rainbow Pack’s Alpha, but she never put on airs in front of me.

I admired her very much and enjoyed playing with her.

But a little while later, my adoptive parents moved to another pack in order to protect me, so I lost contact with

Jennifer.

Since then, I had never seen her.

When I was old enough, I took back the pack and territory that originally belonged to my father.

Now, it was called the White Lily Pack.

It was a long and arduous process, and in those years, I never had the time to rest, let alone find a mate.

When we finally regained the pack, I busied myself with government affairs.

Years had passed.

Times had changes.

But seeing Jennifer again, I suddenly felt like a child again.

It was though she hadn’t changed; she was still the kind little girl I was so fond of.

“Mr.Jones, please allow me to give a toast to you and Mrs.Jones.I wish you and the queen happiness forever!”

I walked up to Anthony and Jennifer and raised my glass.

“Thank you.I wish the White Lily Pack would grow more and more prosperous each day as well,”

Anthony replied with a faint smile.

He clinked glasses with me, and then Jennifer also clinked glasses with me.

When our eyes met, I could tell that she was happy to see me.My heart leapt with joy.

It seemed that she really recognized me! But I knew it was not a good time to talk about the good old days with her

now.

After the toast, I melted with the crowd and watched as Jennifer and Anthony walked away, hand in hand.

I sighed.

They were the perfect match.

I went back to my seat and sat down somewhat dejectedly.

The little girl in the past had now become a beauty without comparison.

No wonder the king fell in love with her.

I reminisced how, when we were children, Jennifer and I would pretend to be bride and groom.

We were so innocent and young.

The past was so wonderful, but it could only stay in the past.

Anthony’s POV: 

When Jennifer saw Alpha Carl of the White Lily Pack, it was evident that she grew a little excited.

As fate would have it, it seemed that Carl was really Jennifer’s childhood playmate.

It was also obvious that Carl recognized Jennifer.

When he proposed a toast to us, his eyes were fixed on Jennifer, but she didn’t show too much enthusiasm.

She did, however, raise her glass politely.

After their glasses clinked, I immediately took Jennifer’s hand and led her away.

As we walked, I asked in a low voice, “Jennifer, do you know him?”

As expected, Jennifer nodded excitedly.

“He’s the childhood friend I was talking about! I can’t believe it.I thought I wouldn’t remember what he looked like,

but seeing him just now, I recognized him in an instant.I think he also recognized me!”

Jennifer beamed at me.

“Anthony, I never thought he’d grow up to become an Alpha.He was such a shy kid!”

I eyed Jennifer carefully as she spoke.

It sounded like she was a little too happy that Carl was here.

This made me feel uncomfortable.Why was she so happy to see that guy? What was so special about him? 

“Why didn’t you mention Carl to me before?” I asked her slowly.

“Carl was my friend when I was very young.I never thought that we would meet again—and even if we did meet, I

thought we wouldn’t recognize each other,” Jennifer answered frankly.

“I’m so happy that we got the chance to meet again after all these years!”

Thinking of Carl’s performance just now, I couldn’t help but frown.

“Oh, really? Carl turned out to be quite the handsome werewolf.Not to mention, he has become an Alpha at such a

young age.He must be very talented.No wonder you admire him very much.”

I tried my best to sound neutral, but it didn’t work.

Jennifer burst into laughter.

“Oh, my God! Anthony, are you jealous of Carl?”

Jennifer held my hand and squeezed it playfully.

“Don’t be silly, Anthony.You can’t blame me for getting excited to see a friend I haven’t heard from in ages.I know

nothing about the present Carl.I just know him as that shy little boy from my childhood.So how can he compare with

you? You’re my Anthony, my one and only mate.”

“Of course, I refuse to be outdone by an Alpha.”

As I spoke, I pressed my lips against Jennifer’s neck as if no one was around.

“You are my queen, Jennifer.Stop looking at him.”

“You are so jealous!”

Jennifer chuckled.

“Carl and I haven’t seen each other in years.Why are you so jealous of him? You’re the one I love, Anthony.My heart

doesn’t have room for anyone else.”

After listening to Jennifer’s profession of love, I finally felt relieved.

“Good.”

I lowered my head to whisper in her ear.

“But I’m not letting this slide.I’ll punish you tonight, Jennifer.”

Jennifer’s cheeks turned a bright red almost immediately.

“Anthony, you’re so annoying!” I smiled.

She looked so cute when she was flustered.

Tonight was our wedding night.

This only happened once in a lifetime.I couldn’t wait to spend an unforgettable night with my wife.

Spread the love
