Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Austin's POV: 

From what I could see on the news, the conflict between werewolves and vampires was getting more and more intense lately.

If I could just lead our troops and force those vampires back, I figured that the elders’ attitude towards me might lighten a little.

"Wait, Austin!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Caroline clutched my hand nervously.

"Don't be so rash!"

"I'm not, Caroline."

I shook my head firmly.

"I'm serious.This is the best way for me to prove myself.

If there's anything I can do to atone for my crimes, it's this; I believe it'll change the public's opinion of me."

And I meant what I said.

Seeing Anthony defend me and Caroline, I was so moved that a lump formed in my throat.I had committed heinous crimes, but Anthony still found it in his heart to forgive me.

How stupid I was in the past! How could I hate such a kind and open-minded brother? Seeing him argue with the elders now, I wanted to go back to the uninhabited island lest I make things difficult for Anthony.

Those stupid elders were all so stubborn.

Anthony was stuck between a rock and a hard place because of us.

While I didn't want to make any trouble for him, I still didn't want Caroline to live a hard life with me on the island, let alone separate with my precious Alice.

Now that an opportunity presented itself to me, I saw no other way but to seize it.

If I! could make myself of service, then the stubborn elders might be willing to forgive me.

Sure enough, when I offered to fight in the front line, the crowd fell silent.

"Austin, are you serious?"

After what seemed like an eternity, an elder finally broke the silence.He stared at me with unfriendly eyes.

"The border of the werewolves’ territory is in chaos.The vampires are more aggressive than ever.If you rush to the front line, you'll be met with danger and disaster."

Of course, I already knew this.But I was a sinner.It was only right that I make it up to my fellow werewolves and fight for my country.

"I'm aware of the danger.War is cold and ruthless, but I'm not scared.I want to concretely prove my value through taking action.Even if I get unlucky and die on the battlefield, my bloodshed will not be in vain.It will be my honor to die for the country!"

"Austin, no!" Caroline yelped.
