Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Elizabeth's POV: 

The moment I saw Caroline in that jail cell, I felt as though someone had reached into my chest and squeezed my heart out.

After all, despite our differences, she was someone I once loved dearly.

Although I no longer considered Caroline to be my loving daughter anymore, I simply couldn't bring myself to let her rot in there after all the fond memories we had of each other as mother and daughter.

"Tell them to get Caroline out of there.I must have a word with her,"

I ordered the maid standing by my side after I walked out of the prison.Before long, the maid brought Caroline to my room.

"Mrs.Jones, what can I do for you?" Caroline asked softly as she lowered her head, seemingly to avoid making eye contact.

The maid helped me sit on the sofa, and I couldn't hide the look of concern in my eyes as I sighed.

"Have a seat.Don't just stand there.It's not good for the baby."

I pointed at the sofa across me since I didn't have the heart to see Caroline in such a pitiful state.

Caroline hesitated at first, but eventually, she sat down, albeit with some awkwardness.

"I wanted to speak with you about the Love Curse.Tell me everything you know about it," I said slowly, clenching my fist to suppress my anger.

Every time the thought of Anthony's painful face appeared in my mind, I could feel the anger boiling inside me like poisonous venom.

"Okay, Mrs.Jones.I'll tell you.It all started when I tried to make Anthony forget Jennifer and take me as his mate.I asked Larry to use a spell to erase his memories of her, but I didn't expect that Larry would take that opportunity to bewitch him with the Love Curse.Later, when I failed to win Anthony's heart, in my anger and frustration, I went to Larry again.When he told me about the Love Curse, I thought it was my only chance to be with Anthony, and so I gave him permission to activate the curse.After all, if I couldn't have Anthony, I couldn't let anyone else have him either,"

Caroline said gingerly after a moment of silence.

I looked at Caroline in shock and disappointment.I never thought that she would do something like that to Anthony.

All because of her one-sided love.

"You've really disappointed me, Caroline."

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and the maid quickly patted my back.

"I'm sorry, Mrs.Jones.I didn't expect things to turn out like this either.My love for Anthony drove me mad.I had lost my mind completely, but now I've come to realize my fault."

Caroline lowered her head in shame.
