Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Anthony's POV:

After the time I spent alone with Jennifer, I was almost convinced that she was my mate.

It was just unfortunate that I could not remember anything about her.

After bidding Jennifer goodbye, I returned to the hotel.

She filled my thoughts so much that I had no choice but to admit that I had a crush on her.

Even if it turned out that she was not my mate, I knew that I could still easily fall in love with her.

My wolf must have picked up on the direction of my thoughts because it became restless.

"Anthony, you should just accept Jennifer as our mate.Although I can't smell the mate bond, my intuition is telling me that she is the best choice.She is beautiful, elegant, and sincere.She is a strong she-wolf with a good character, and she doesn't seem like the type to lie.I kind of trust Jennifer's word over Caroline's."

I could not deny that I thought so too.I also trusted Jennifer more than I trusted Caroline.

Besides, Jennifer had no reason to lie to me about this matter.

If she simply wanted a mate, she probably would have chosen one out of the many other werewolves wooing her.

My phone rang, cutting into my thoughts.

I picked up the phone, thinking that Jennifer sent me a message.

But when I checked the screen, it was actually a report from my subordinate.

"The forensic doctor performed an autopsy on the corpses, but we were unable to get any significant clues regarding the magicians' identities.DNA test results show that the magicians were not members of the Rainbow Pack.In fact, they are not from any pack.They seem more like a group of rogues."

I got a headache after reading the message.

Things were not as simple as I had thought.

Since we had no leads, our investigation was far from over.

It looked like I really needed to stay in the Rainbow Pack's territory.

I picked up my phone once more and called my attendant.

"There is something I must do here.Make arrangements so that we always have an eye on Austin, and take good care of my mother."

My attendant confirmed that he was going to do as I said, and then I ended the call.
