Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Carl's POV: 

After I arrived at the White Lily Pack, I wanted to rest for a while and take the time to get rid of my feelings for Jennifer.

Far was it from my expectations that a few days after my return, the pack was attacked by vampires.

The vampires were aggressive.

Even though I tried my best to stop them, the situation was looking grim.

I had no choice but to return to the Osman Kingdom to ask for support from King Anthony.I had told myself over and over again that I was only here for business.

As long as I didn't see Jennifer, my ill-fated feelings for her wouldn't continue to grow.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected to see her face the second I was led into the meeting room.

There she was, sitting at the table, as dignified and elegant as a queen should be.

The feelings that I had been trying to suppress for days now suddenly exploded when I laid eyes on her.

I almost lost control of myself and nearly rushed towards her.

How could this be? I secretly clenched my fists until my nails dug into my skin.

The searing pain sobered me up.I was here to save my pack, not for my unrequited love.

When I finally managed to calm down, I tore my gaze away from Jennifer and looked to King Anthony.

"Mr.Jones, I'm so sorry to ask you to see me at such short notice, but the White Lily Pack is in trouble.Vampires attacked us out of the blue and our pack has suffered serious casualties.I was left with no choice but to come here and ask for reinforcements." Anthony frowned.

"But the White Lily Pack's far from the border.If they've attacked a pack deeper inside the werewolves’ territory, it must mean that they really want to start a war against us!"

The whole meeting room broke into an uproar, but my attention was focused solely on Jennifer, who was beside Anthony.She was looking back at me calmly.

Anthony then asked, "Do you know which vampire clan attacked you?"

His voice brought me back to reality.

Scolding myself internally for staring at Jennifer, I quickly answered, "They said they were from the Dracula Clan."

"Oh, my God!" an elder exclaimed with horror.

"The Dracula Clan is the vampire king's clan.I didn't expect that vampires’ royal family themselves would send out their soldiers! The situation is getting worse!"
