Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Carl's POV: 

Could this be fate? After all, I wasn't even supposed to see Jennifer again.Walking side by side with her in the garden felt like a beautiful dream.

The soft sunlight graced Jennifer's beautiful face, and my heart thumped anxiously as I looked at her.I was afraid of ruining this wonderful moment.

Jennifer was wearing an elegant red dress today, which brought out her golden locks.

Her charming eyes were as deep as the ocean, tempting me to fantasize about her even more.

I had often dreamed of Jennifer in the past.

She would always have a warm smile on her face in my dreams.

I could never forget the way she made me feel and the time I had spent with her in the Rainbow Pack meant everything to me.

"Do you remember when I used to take you to catch frogs, you would always fail and this one time, you fell in the pond by accident? It was quite hard, but I managed to pull you out of the water."

Jennifer pursed her lips into a smile and revisited the interesting memories from our childhood with great interest.

When I saw her smile, my heart softened.

"You used to be very protective of me back then."

"Yes.I was Alpha's daughter, and I felt like it was my duty to help the weak."

Jennifer suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the sky.

"My parents were still alive then.My life used to be so carefree, but then they both left me." I noticed her eyes turn red as she spoke.

Alpha Lewis, her father, died not long after I moved away from the Rainbow Pack.

Much like myself, Jennifer had been through a lot of hardships in her early life.

For some reason, right at the moment, I felt as though we had a lot more in common than we ever knew.
