Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

I knew perfectly well that a queen couldn't intervene in politics, but I wasn't attending the meeting to interfere in government affairs.I simply wanted to understand the current situation.

After all, Anthony had been so busy lately.

He always came home late and went Straight to bed, exhausted from a full day of work.I felt sorry for him.I knew that I couldn't help him carry the burden of protecting the kingdom, but as his mate, I wanted to do what I could to know more about his work.

Now that no one objected to my being here, the meeting began.

Anthony stood up and looked around at the faces sitting at the table.

"A few days ago, vampires began attacking several packs along the border between the werewolves' territory and the vampires' territory.The packs that have suffered include the Red Sun Pack, the Blue Rose Pack, and the Lavender Pack.According to the reports from the front line, these packs all have something in common: they are all prosperous and close to the border."

"So, if these three packs fell simultaneously, the vampires could've broken into werewolves' territory from the back land and threatened the autonomy of the Osman Kingdom?" an old elder pondered in a worrying tone.

"Please have faith in our race," Anthony replied calmly.

"We are strong enough to defend ourselves against the vampires.Come what may, I'm confident I can lead our army to fight against them.It's possible that they may attack us, but as long as we keep our defenses up, they won't get a chance to break past the border."

Another elder raised his hand and asked, "Mr.Jones, what do you think they want to do?"

Anthony nodded.

"That's exactly the purpose of today's meeting.For the time being, we don't know what the vampires are after, nor do we know why.Maybe they have conflict with those specific packs, or maybe it's just as Elder Charles suggested-—it's a strategic attack to declare war against us."

I sat quietly and listened to Anthony explain.

He sounded reasonable yet confident at the same time.

In my eyes, he truly was a worthy leader.

Now that the agenda of the meeting had been announced, the elders began to discuss.
