Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

When I woke up the next morning, I checked my phone and found a message from Carl.My heart skipped a beat.I had been crystal! clear with him the night before.

How could he text me again? Fortunately, when I read through the message, I realized that he was actually saying goodbye to me.

It was sent hours earlier.

He said that he was going to take a plane back to his pack.

I figured that he must've arrived at the White Lily Pack by now.I couldn't help but feel surprised at his abrupt departure.

Just then, I felt Anthony's arms slip around my waist.

"What's the matter, honey?" Anthony asked with a yawn when he saw how worried I looked.

"Anthony, Carl flew back to his pack last night!" I said.

Anthony's expression didn't show any surprise.

"I know.I also received a message from Carl."

"Oh."

It turned out that Carl had also told Anthony.

I sighed.

"Now that Carl has returned to his pack, it's unlikely we'll ever meet again.Well, maybe that's a good thing.I hope he'll find the right girl."

Anthony shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's good that Carl has left.He would've felt worse if he kept seeing how happy we were here."

I stuck out my tongue at him like a spoiled child.

"You're so mean, Anthony."

Anthony turned and reached for his phone on the night stand to reply to Carl.

I leaned over to peek at what he was typing and found that Anthony's message was very sincere.

"I wish you a happy life.Thank you for attending my wedding, Alpha Carl."

"Anthony, you're such a kindhearted and open-minded king,"

I praised Anthony with a smile, cupping his cheek and leaning in for a light kiss.

"Honey, can you take the day off? You've been so busy recently.I'm worried you'll exhaust yourself." Anthony smiled but shook his head.

'I'm sorry, Jennifer.Although I want to stay with you, I have several important meetings to attend to today."
