Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Mandy's POV: 

These days in prison, I had been especially restless.

But Devin had come to see me one day, and he had spoken so confidently, so I decided to trust in him.I had to keep the secret and insist that it was Helen who poisoned Marlon.

But this noon, I was violently woken up by several guards who dragged me out.I was dazed and confused, struggling against them desperately, but it was futile.I had no choice but to follow them to the Black Stone House.

"Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me! I'm not the murderer! I'm innocent!"

Scared to death that they were taking me to the executioner, I shouted like mad until I was brought to the hall.

There, I saw many unfamiliar faces.Did something bad happen? Who were these strangers?

 "Hello, Mandy."

The she-wolf sitting in the center of the hall suddenly spoke up.

She pointed at a handsome man next to her and said, "This is Prince Anthony, the future king, and I'm Jennifer, his mate.We caught word that Helen was the prime suspect in Alpha Marlon's murder.Bearing all of that in mind, I have something to ask her."

My jaw nearly dropped at the mention of the prince's name.What on earth was the prince doing here? Could he be here on Helen's behalf? 

"I'm Jerome, the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack, and this is my Luna, Skylar.We're all friends of Helen."

Another handsome werewolf spoke up.

Then, he pointed at the old man beside him and said, "This is Elder Simon, Helen's father."

I was absolutely floored.

What the hell? How could Heten have so many friends in high places? And even the future king knew her! How was this possible? I gritted my teeth, seething with jealousy.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr.Jones.My name is Mandy."

I managed to swallow my jealousy for the meantime and bowed towards the prince and his future queen.I needed to look humble and respectful, hoping they wouldn't make things difficult for me.

"Have you seen this bottle of perfume before? Please tell us the truth, Mandy.Anthony has many wizard friends who know how to detect lies.If you dare lie to us, we will find out sooner or later.Anthony and I never show mercy to liars.I hope you'll do the right thing."

Jennifer held up the bottle of perfume in front of me.

I gulped anxiously.

Anthony knew wizards? And these wizards knew how to detect lies? Shit! I was doomed! What on earth was I supposed to do? Should I tell the truth now? But if I told the truth, I would still get into huge trouble.

"I...don't know.Please don't ask me..."

I stammered, clearly not knowing how to answer.

"Ahem."
