Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 52: The Princess

Anthony's POV:

Last night, Jennifer and I had sex like crazy until we were both exhausted.

The next morning, when the clock struck seven, we woke up at the same time.

"Anthony, today's training is about to start."

Jennifer rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"I have to get up."

She lifted the quilt with every intention of getting dressed.

But when I saw her curvy figure in the full light of day, I became erect.

Jennifer had a beautiful face and the perfect body.

How could I remain indifferent with her as my mate? However, I knew how important training was, so I kept myself from holding her back.

"Jennifer, I really want to fuck you right now, but we don't have time for that."

I kissed her a little bit, teasing her nipples through her bra.

"Anthony! Stop that."

Jennifer blushed and leaned against my chest.

"Are you trying to make me late?"

"Honey, if you end up late, you only have yourself to blame."

I took her hand and pressed it against my erection.

"See? I'm hard again."

"We can't do it right now, so let's save it for another day,"

Jennifer murmured.

Her rosy cheeks reminded me of fresh peaches.

I palmed her breast and kissed her once more before reluctantly letting her go.

After the kiss, Jennifer left the room first.

I put on my suit and led her to the dining room.

After having breakfast, Jennifer rushed to the training ground.

Watching her leave made me feel empty.

I decided to take some time off during the day to drop by the training ground.

Before I could leave, my mother made her way down the stairs.

"Good morning, Mom,"

I greeted her.

"Your health isn't what it used to be, so why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"Anthony, did you bring someone home last night?"my mother asked with a knowing smile.

"Yes, I brought Jennifer back with me.The girls’ dormitory caught fire last night, so I wanted her close by."

"Finally! You have seen the light!"My mother patted me on the shoulder.

"You should bring Jennifer home more often.You also need to work harder because I want a grandson as soon as possible.By the way, how did the girls' dormitory catch fire? Have you learned anything about it?"

"Not yet, but I'll send someone to look into it."I frowned.

The building's security was top-notch, and its fire-proof measures should have been in place.

How did the dorm suddenly catch fire? Did someone deliberately set it on fire? If that was the case, who would do such a thing? Yesterday, I ordered Ella to leave Marge Island.Was she the one who set the building on fire?

"You need to get to the bottom of this."My mother looked concerned.

"Caroline is coming to Marge Island.Nothing should happen to her."

"Caroline has returned?"

"Yes.She has finished her studying abroad, and she plans on coming to the island to visit me.Isn't that considerate of her? I'm going to hold a welcome party.You have to strengthen security around here so nothing else goes wrong."

"Understood, Mom.Don't worry about it."I nodded obediently.

The last time I saw Caroline was a few years ago.

I had not expected her to suddenly come back.

Caroline's father had been a hero of Osman Kingdom, but he had died in his prime for his country.

My mother felt pity for the young Caroline and decided to raise her.

Caroline once saved my mother's life while they were out on a tour.

After that incident, my father, who was still alive back then, made an exception for Caroline and declared her a princess.

Although Caroline was not a member of the royal family by blood, she had been treated like a princess since she was a child.

Because of that, I was very familiar with Caroline.

We were childhood playmates, and I considered her my younger sister.

After chatting with my mother, I left the palace and told the guards to increase security around the island.

At the same time, I sent my trusted subordinates to continue investigating the fire that had ravaged the girls' dormitory.

Ella was no longer on Marge Island, and the surveillance cameras in the dormitory had been damaged.

Even though I suspected her to be the culprit behind the fire, I had no evidence to back that up.

But I wasn't ready to let that suspicion go.

I couldn't stand the idea of anyone hurting Jennifer.

Later that afternoon, Caroline arrived at Marge Island via helicopter.

My mother and I went to the landing pad to welcome her.

There was a tarmac on Marge Island, which was where we parked helicopters.

Once the helicopter landed, Caroline alighted on the landing pad with the help of her attendants.

Her hat and all-white dress made her look more mature than before.

"Anthony! Mom!"

Caroline ran over to us and wrapped us in a hug.Ever since she had been given the title of princess, she had changed the way she addressed my mother.

My mother, on the other hand, treated Caroline like her own daughter.

"My dear daughter, it's so good to finally see you."

My mother's eyes welled up with tears of joy.

"I've missed you, Mom."

Caroline affectionately pressed her cheek against my mother's.

"How have you and Anthony been?"

"The two of us have been fine.What about you?"I chimed in.

"I learned a lot while I was abroad."Caroline clung to my arm.

"I'll tell you all about it some other day, Anthony."

I had the sudden urge to shrug her off, but because she had a tight grip on my arm, I had no choice but to let her keep clinging to me.

I knew that Caroline's actions were innocent, spurred by her excitement over our reunion.

But ever since I fell in love with Jennifer, I subconsciously wanted to keep my distance from all other she-wolves, including Caroline, even though she was like my younger sister.

"Mom, I heard that there are many werewolves undergoing training here on Marge Island.Is that true?"

Caroline leaned against me as she happily chatted with my mother.

"You are really well-informed, my dear."My mother nodded.

"Why do you ask though? Do you want to see the trainees?"

"I do, Mom."Caroline smiled sweetly.

"Let's go see the trainees right now.I want to see how they are doing."

"All right.Let's do that,"my mother agreed. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Anthony, please lead the way and take Caroline to the training ground."

I honestly didn't want to take Caroline to the training ground.

After all, she was still clinging to my arm.

I was afraid Jennifer would get the wrong idea if she saw us together.

But I could never turn down a request from my mother.

So I took her and Caroline to the training ground.

The trainees were on break so they were scattered across the area.

Jennifer was seated on the lawn.

My eyes quickly found her, and our gazes met.

But when she saw Caroline and our linked arms, her smile faltered.

My heart started to race.

Damn it! Was Jennifer jealous? Caroline was like my younger sister.

I wished that I could convey that fact to Jennifer.

I sighed and casually stepped to the side, pulling out of Caroline's hold.

Jennifer's expression softened a little.

To my surprise, as soon as I stepped away, Caroline sidled up to me and held my arm even tighter.

"What's wrong, Anthony?"

Caroline looked at me in confusion.

"Nothing..."

I shook my head, but I felt far from calm.

When I checked on Jennifer once more, her expression changed again.
