Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV:

After hearing the testimony of Adonis, Devin stood there in a daze and his face became pale with fear. Anthony and I smiled at each other after seeing that.

"Let me see if this contract is valid or not."

I walked to Adonis, took the contract, and looked through it carefully.

"Well, everything seems to be in order.Not only does it have Devin's personal seal, but also his signature.”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was an uproar in the church.

"Would you care to comment, Devin?" I walked up to Devin and waved the contract in my hand. "No! I didn't kill anyone.Let me see that!"

Devin's eyes were wide with surprise.He reached out his hand to grab the contract from me, but I knew what he was going to do, so I moved away from him.

"If there's someone who doesn't believe me, you can come here and check the contract for yourself."

I unfolded the contract and showed it to everyone around me.

"Oh my God! He really killed Alpha Marlon!"

"I can't believe he killed his own father! What a despicable man!"

"Throw him in prison! He doesn't deserve to be pardoned!"

Seeing as the evidence was conclusive, the werewolves started to curse at Devin.

"No, that contract is fabricated.l have never bought anything from that man.l loved my father very much.l would never hurt him, let alone murder him!"

Devin wasn't going to admit the truth.He glared at Adonis.

"Someone must have stolen my seal and forged my signature to frame me!”

I shook my head in disappointment, but I knew he would deny the allegations against him until his dying breath.

"If this isn't enough to make you plead guilty, perhaps you would like to see some more evidence?" With an expressionless face, I took out the recorder pen I had prepared.

"Everyone, please listen to it carefully and tell me if you really think that we're just trying to frame Devin."

Then, I pressed the play button of the recorder pen

"You have to say that it was Mandy who bought the ephedrine hydrochloride from you, got it?" Helen was proven innocent, so we need to shift the blame.We have to frame Mandy now.Anyway, quit asking me questions.Just do as I say!

The recording was provided by Anthony's attendant.

Anthony had the recording processed and enhanced digitally so that everyone would be able to hear it clearly.

Everyone there could hear what Grace had said to Adonis.

Just to be clear, I explained to everyone that Devin was the one who had bought the drug from Adonis and Grace bribed Adonis on Devin's behalf so that he would pin the blame on Mandy.

At long last, the truth had been revealed.

"No! Impossible!"

Devin was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.He fell to the floor and glared at me fiercely. "You bastard, you are setting me up!"

I scoffed at his words and slowly proceeded to the next section of the recording.It was the recording of Adonis’ confession when Anthony and I paid him a visit.

Devin's POV:

I wasn't going to plead guilty until I heard Adonis' and Anthony's voices on the recording.l knew then that it was all over.

"LL...LIE tell the truth! "

“Mr.Jones, please believe me.l have nothing to do with Alpha Marlon's death.l swear to God!"

At first, it was Adonis’ voice.Then came the voices of Jennifer and Anthony.

I didn't know what to say when I heard them on the recording

They had already found Adonis even before I knew about it.

No wonder Adonis had betrayed me.Damn it!

"Mr.Jones, please believe me.I have nothing to do with Alpha Marlon's death. didn't know why he bought it.It wasn't until I heard the news of Alpha Marlon's death that I realized that something was wrong.Mr.Jones, I swear I didn't know he was going to do that.I would never want to hurt the Alpha.Why would 1? I'm innocent!"

There it was—irrefutable proof.

I sat on the floor, staring at Anthony in utter disbelief.

I lost.

I lost completely! Everyone had heard the recording, and Adonis’ testimony against me made it impossible for me to escape.

I could see it in everyone's eyes as they stared at me like I was some kind of a monster.

They knew that I was my father's murderer.

"You bastard! How dare you betray me after you took my money? You son of a bitch!"

I glared at Adonis from across the room.I was so angry that my body shook as I shouted.

Not only was I never going to become the Alpha of this pack, I knew that I would be facing a long prison sentence at the very least.

"I curse you to die a miserable death!"

"Calm down, Devin."

Adonis gave me a complacent look.

"I just want to cooperate with Mr.Jones and Miss Smith to find out the truth and bring the real murderer to justice.As a werewolf in Black Stone Pack, it is my duty to do so.l want Alpha Marlon to rest in peace.”

I couldn't believe how quickly he had changed colors.

Where did all that self-righteous bullshit come from? Where was his self-righteousness when he greedily took the money from me? I was absolutely fuming.

"No, I didn't kill my father.How could I kill him?"

I put my arms around my father's coffin and cried. knew that the moment I admitted my guilt, I would be doomed.

"You ungrateful son!"

I didn't think that my mother would suddenly walk up to me and slap me in the face in front of everyone.l clutched at my face and stared at her in disbelief.

"Mom..." I stared at her blankly as I was at a loss for words.

"I can't believe it was really you! Devin! How could you..How? He's your father! He brought you up and educated you! Oh my God! You ungrateful bastard!"

I had never seen my mother look at me like that before.

"I never thought that I would say this, but I regret giving birth to a heartless son like you!"

"Devin! Why did you do it?"

Daniel, the idiot, also walked up to me and glared at me with red eyes.

"Just so you could become the Alpha? If I had known that you would kill father just to become Alpha, I would have gone into exile instead of competing with you!"

I was baffled by his words.

=I gritted my teeth in anger as it seemed as though he was just pretending to be hurt.

Bullshit! He must have been lying! How could he willingly give up the position of Alpha? Just then, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside the church.

I shook and looked out the window to find that it was raining heavily outside.

The lightning caught me by surprise.

Wasn't it sunny just a while ago? Why was it raining all of a sudden? In my delirious state, I thought that my father's spirit had come to settle accounts with me.

"Dad! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I didn't mean to poison you to death.l was wrong.l regret my actions!" I curled up into a fetal position on the floor and begged for mercy.

"It's not my fault. wouldn't have been so desperate if you hadn't insisted on passing the position of Alpha to Daniel. What choice did I have?"

"He has lost his mind!"

"Did you hear what he had just said? He's actually trying to justify murdering his own father!" "Ridiculous! He's a murderer!"

Everyone looked at me with disdainful eyes

"Oh, no, Mr.Jones! When Devin bought the ephedrine hydrochloride, I didn't know that his plan was to poison Alpha Marlon.”

Grace suddenly knelt down in front of Prince Anthony and cried bitterly.

"It was all his doing! I had no choice but to obey him because he is my husband.Please have mercy on me! I'll plead guilty.Please spare my life."

I glared at Grace, dumbfounded.What a bitch! To add insult to injury, even Grace had turned against me.
