Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Carl's POV: 

Eager to see Jennifer again, I drank several bottles of wine to give me some liquid courage.

But every time I reached the gate of the palace, my confidence vanished into thin air.I wandered alone outside the palace for a long time, trying to calm down, but in the end, I couldn't pluck up the nerve to find Jennifer.

Maybe it was time for me to accept reality.I had no right to covet her.

After a long time of dilly dallying this way, I returned to the hotel dejectedly, intending to pack my things and return to my pack.I couldn't afford to keep moping around like this anymore.

After all, the werewolves of my pack needed me.

As the Alpha, the responsibility to protect the pack fell on me.

While I was here, the elders of my pack had been sending me messages every day to inform me about the developments of the war.

Ever since King Anthony sent the reinforcements to help us, the situation was much better.

But until the vampires gave up, my pack wouldn't be in the clear yet.

While I was packing up my luggage, I suddenly sensed a figure appear in front of me.

"Who are you?"

I was so startled that I blurted out those words before even looking up.

When I saw the man standing in front of me, I couldn't help but take a step back, as if I was facing a formidable enemy.

How had he appeared out of thin air? Had he been hiding in this room all along? Why hadn't I noticed him before? It was terrifying to think that he could slip past my defenses so easily.

When I took a closer look at him, I realized that he looked a little familiar.

Wasn't he Larry, the wizard who had come to see me once before? His witchcraft was very powerful, since he could appear and disappear out of thin air.

I didn't expect to see him again.What the hell did he want from me? 

"Why are you here again?" I growled, putting up a bold front.

Thinking of what he had said to me before, I was embarrassed to the point of being furious.

How did he know so much about me? Had he been stalking me? Fuming, I added, "Don't you have any regard for privacy?"

"I'm not here to discuss such trivial things with you, Carl," Larry drawled, slowly approaching me.

"Don't you like Jennifer? Don't you want to take her away from the so-called king?"
