Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Caroline's POV: 

As the crowd gathered around, Austin reached for my hand and held it tightly.

Seeing all of these familiar faces, I felt a bit strange, as though I had been cut off from the rest of the world for ages.

The elders who used to smile at me raised their eyebrows and looked at me with disdain.They must've hated me to the core.

"Don't be afraid, okay? Whatever happens, I'm here for you," Austin whispered in my ear as he noticed my discomfort.

Moved, I looked him in the eye and nodded slightly.I would've been lying if I said I wasn't afraid, but...I could totally understand where their anger was coming from.

"Elders, how can I help you?" Anthony asked in a calm manner.

All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar.

"Mr.Jones! Please explain why you've brought those sinners back to the royal palace?" an elder demanded angrily.

The rage in his voice made me tremble slightly.

It was finally happening! Ever since I found out that we were coming back here, I knew that the elders would be furious.

And they had every right.

Austin and I were sinners.

We shouldn't have been brought back here.I didn't know how to face all this, so I just lowered my head and stood beside Austin in silence.

Anthony's voice continued to ring beside me.

"Everyone, please calm down first."

"No! They're sinners!" someone shouted rudely.

"Mr.Jones, why are they here? I hope you can explain!"

"Yeah! Austin murdered our former king, your father.It was already merciful of us to let him live.How could you let him come back from his exile? Isn't it obvious that he'll form a rebellion and try to usurp the throne?"

I clearly felt Austin's grip on my hand tightening.Somehow, I plucked up enough courage to look up.
