Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Caroline's POV: 

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, tears welling up in my eyes.

"I used to think of you as my real mother..." I gently tucked Elizabeth in bed and couldn't help but shed a tear.

The tear landed on her cheek, and I wiped it with a handkerchief.

I drugged her with the magic potion the wizard gave me.

This meant that she might never wake up again.

Elizabeth was my adoptive mother.

She had raised me since I was a kid.

Werewolves had feelings.

For so many years, I had seen her as my biological mother.

That was, until she set my happiness aside.

Not only did she stop me from being with the one I loved, but she also wanted me to marry someone I didn't even know.

Whenever I remembered this, I felt that what I was doing was justified.

I touched her face and, for some reason, I couldn't stop crying.

"Thank you for raising me and treating me as your own.I didn't have the heart to kill you, but I really love Anthony, so I had to make you sleep.You won't blame me, right?" I smiled bitterly.

"No, how could you not blame me? If you ever woke up and found out it was me who did this, you wouldn't show me any mercy.After all, you only care about that bitch, Jennifer.And you even wanted me to get married to a stranger for her sake!"

I glared at Elizabeth's sleeping face for a long time.

When I finally calmed down, I knocked over the bowl to make it look like it was an accident and put on a panicked expression.

"Mom, are you alright?" I shouted in a shrill voice.

Sure enough, maids rushed in when they heard my screams.

They too were panic-stricken when they saw the knocked-over bowl and the unconscious Elizabeth.
