Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Austin's POV: 

After I decided to go back with Jennifer and Elizabeth, I went back to our bedroom to pack our things.As it turned out, Caroline and I didn't have a lot of things as we lived a simple life on the island.

However, after looking around our bedroom, I put the two palm-sized stone carvings into the suitcase.

After all, they were birthday gifts Caroline had given to me on my birthday on the island.

By the time I finished packing, the storm outside subsided and a warm ray of sunlight came in through the window, illuminating Caroline's beautiful face while she slept.

"Caroline..." I couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

"Honey, wake up. We are going back."

As soon as my lips touched Caroline, her eyelashes flickered for a moment before she opened her eyes.

"Austin..."

She looked at me in a daze and then sat up quickly.

"Where is Jennifer and Mom? Are they all right?"

I felt sorry to see Caroline react so anxiously, so I quickly pulled her into my arms to comfort her.

"Honey, don't worry.They are both fine.You saved them."

Caroline stared at me blankly for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, that's great, Austin.We've finally managed to make restitution.I don't know how I would face Anthony if something bad had happened to Jennifer and Mom."

I smiled at her as I smoothed her hair.

"Nonsense! Forget about that, I have good news! Jennifer and Mom are so grateful for what you did that they agreed to bring us back to the royal palace with them.I've already packed our bags.We will be leaving soon."

"What?"

Needless to say, Caroline was startled.

"I don't know what to say.How did this happen?"

"Well, Mom forgave us once she found out that we saved her and Jennifer.There's no reason for you to worry.As long as we keep to ourselves when we get back, everything will be fine," I said seriously.

"Austin, you and Mom..."

Caroline looked at me with a stunned expression when she heard me address Elizabeth my mom.
