Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Nights in the royal palace were always very quiet.Although I had been living here for a while now, I still couldn't get used to the silence.Maybe more so now because Anthony was so busy these days.

Fortunately, just as I was about to pick up a book I had already read twice, Anthony came back.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, honey."

The door swung open and Anthony strode into the room with an apologetic look.I quickly stood up from the sofa to receive him.

Smiling at him warmly, I figured that what he needed most right now was rest and good company.

After all, he had spent the whole day working.

"No need to get up, honey."

Seeing me stand up, Anthony walked over and gently nudged me to sit down again.

Then he sat next to me and smiled gently.

"Tell me, how was your day? I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you lately.I've been so busy with the issue of vampires invading our territory.If ever you get bored, why not go shopping or eat at a nice restaurant with Mom?"

I smiled and shook my head.

"It's okay, Anthony.I understand that you're busy.Today, ! held a remote meeting with Tony and Simon.We dealt with the pack's affairs together.Otherwise, I haven't done much, other than read some books."

Then, I cleared my throat in preparation to talk about the most pressing matter of the day.

"By the way, Anthony, Skylar called me a while ago.She found out about her origin."

Anthony looked at me attentively and took my hand.

"Did something happen?"

"Nothing serious.Do you remember the vampire Skylar met, the one I talked about before? He recognized the hexagram mark on Skylar's wrist and explained that she is the vampire king's daughter."

As I spoke, I carefully observed Anthony's reaction.

Sure enough, his eyes went as wide as saucers—the same expression I had when I heard the news.

Amused, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and snicker.

Then, I regained my composure and looked at him expectantly, intending to listen to his opinion.

Anthony scratched his chin pensively.
