Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Caroline's POV:

I had naively thought that Anthony would become mine after his memories of Jennifer had been erased.

It was only later that I realized how wrong I was.

Anthony crossed paths with Jennifer once again at the anniversary celebration

Even though he had amnesia, he was still so protective of her.

When I noticed that Anthony was attracted to Jennifer all over again, I stomped my feet in anger. I returned to the hotel and thought of the assassination attempt during the banquet.

Austin must have had something to do with it, so I called him.

"Why are you calling, my dear Caroline? Miss me?"

Austin's voice came through from the other end of the line.

"Austin, were you the one who sent some werewolves to assassinate Jennifer?"

I didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Yes, I did because Jennifer is a thorn in your side.Aren't you happy to have me as an ally?" Austin frankly admitted.

"Alpha Arthur of the Rainbow Pack is already my lackey so don't worry.He will kill Jennifer for us." I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

Were all of Austin’s men idiots? He said that he would assassinate Jennifer, but that bitch was still alive.

"Austin, can your men do nothing right? They failed to kill Jennifer, and they even tried to kill Anthony! Did you order them to do that as well? Why are you not keeping your promise to leave him alone?" I demanded angrily.

"Babe, what are you talking about?”

Austin chuckled.

"I didn’t order anyone to kill Anthony.It was probably just a misunderstanding.Besides, Anthony has lost his memories so he no longer poses any threat to me.Why should I kill him? We made a deal. As long as you hold on to him and make sure that he isn't going to usurp the throne, I won't hurt him." "You really promise?"

I was not sure whether or not Austin was telling the truth.

My bigger priority was getting rid of Jennifer as soon as possible.

I urged, "I trust that you will not harm Anthony, but you need to get rid of Jennifer right away.And make sure not to leave any evidence that we're involved. can't stand it anymore.l want her dead!" "Don't worry, Caroline.My men are all loyal to me.Even if they fail, they won't betray me.l won't leave any evidence nor will I let Anthony discover our plan.”

"Good.You need to take action as soon as possible before things get even more complicated.l must win Anthony's heart.You know how much I need your help.”

I softened my tone and asked him to speed up his plans.

After Austin agreed, I ended the call.

I wanted to see Anthony after that so I went to his room.

Through the open door, I saw him sitting on the sofa.

He was handsome and charming as always.

But at the moment, Anthony was in a daze while holding the diamond ring.

He must have been convinced by Jennifer's words and was now suspecting me of lying to him. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.

I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to kill Jennifer myself when I could.

After Anthony put away the diamond ring, I made my presence known by knocking on the door. "Anthony, when are we leaving? Now that the anniversary celebration is over, we should head back.” "I'm not going back for the time being.I'll stay here with the Rainbow Pack and investigate the assassination attempt.”

I had not expected Anthony's answer.Damn it! He wanted to stay here? Because of that bitch, Jennifer?

"All right, Anthony.If that is what you have decided...It's getting late.Can I invite you to dinner?”

I felt nervous about asking him on a romantic date.

However, Anthony pissed me off by turning down my invitation.I had no choice but to go back to my room alone.

Once I got there, I was boiling with anger.

Anthony's POV:

I sat in the hotel room and recalled recent events.

Although many people told me that Caroline was my partner, I couldn't help but favor Jennifer. For some reason, I wanted to believe what she had said to me.

It was just unfortunate that I did not bear the mate mark that Jennifer claimed that I had.

Because of that, I could not make any final judgments.

"What are you thinking about, Anthony? If there is anything that you don't understand, I can try to explain it for you.But you already know the answer, don't you? Caroline is just like a sister to you while Jennifer feels more like your mate.Honestly, I really like Jennifer's disposition and appearance.Can't you consider her?"

My wolf Zane clearlypreferred Jennifer.

"Jennifer seems to like you as well.You should claim her as soon as possible.”

"I'm not in the mood to think about this now.l can't make a decision based on feelings alone.Let's talk about it after I find more evidence,"

I told Zane in hopes that he would give up his unrealistic ideas.

"Are you telling me that you're not interested in Jennifer?"

Zane asked sharply.

Before I could reply, my phone rang.

I looked down and saw that the call was coming from an unfamiliar number.

Jennifer said she would contact me.

Was she the one calling? After a moment's hesitation, I pressed the answer button.

As I expected, the call was from Jennifer.

She told me about a restaurant and invited me out to dinner.

I agreed without hesitation, and she told me the location.l hung up the phone.

Knowing that I was going to meet Jennifer soon made me inexplicably excited.

I saved the phone number in my contacts and realized that her number had sent me messages in the past.

Since the number had not been registered, I did not check the messages or reply to them.

I clicked the messaging app and saw that Jennifer had contacted me a few days ago and referred to me in an intimate way.

Maybe we really had been in a relationship.

Even if turned out that we were not a couple, we were probably very close.

My phone must have been tampered with.

No wonder Jennifer's phone number had not been registered in my contacts.

After giving it some thought, I figured that Caroline was the only person who could have done this. I decided to find an opportunity to test her.

I changed into a suit and made my way to the restaurant Jennifer told me to go to.

When I arrived at one of the restaurant's private rooms, Jennifer was already there, and she had ordered food.

I felt a little embarrassed and quickly walked over.

Jennifer looked lovely in her outfit.

The way she did her makeup made her face seem glowing.

I suppressed the impulse to scan her from head to toe like a crazy person.

I had to admit that she was incredibly appealing to me.

"Sit down, Anthony."

Jennifer smiled.

"I ordered spaghetti with black truffles for you. hope you like it."

The spaghetti with black truffles sat on the table, and it Was steaming hot.

Although I couldn't smell anything, I was pleasantly surprised.

"Jennifer, how did you know what I like?"
