Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Carl's POV: 

I knew I should've returned to my pack after the ceremony, but when I thought about Jennifer, I decided against it.I still wanted to find a chance to catch up with her.

After all, we hadn't seen each other for many years.

In addition, there were some  pack-related affairs that hadn't been solved yet, so I figured it would be good to consult the king on these matters.

"Carl, what made you stay here?" Jennifer asked me with surprise.

Earlier, I had inquired about Jennifer's whereabouts from a maid.

It didn't take me long to find her, but unfortunately for me, she was accompanied by the king's mother.

"Oh, Jennifer, the White Lily Pack has only recently been established, and there are some problems I want to discuss with the king.I hope you don't mind," I explained gently to Jennifer.

"Oh, I see.Carl, your pack is lucky to have you as their Alpha." Jennifer smiled at me with approval.

"You must be Mrs.Jones.Nice to meet you.I'm Alpha Carl of the White Lily Pack."

I bowed to Elizabeth with one hand on my chest.

To my surprise, Jennifer warmly introduced me to Elizabeth.

"Well, Mom, this is the childhood friend I was talking about!" I raised my head in astonishment.

I didn't expect that Jennifer would talk about me with Elizabeth.Truth be told, I felt honored.Jennifer's enthusiasm warmed my heart.

Sure enough, our childhood friendship proved to be very precious not only to me, but to her as well.

"Nice to meet you, Alpha Carl.I have already heard about you from Jennifer."

Elizabeth nodded to me with a smile.

"It's nice that you two were able to recognize each other after so many years."

Elizabeth's words made me even happier.
