Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Ever since I discovered Ella's evil plot during the swimming training, the atmosphere between the two of us became tense.

I beat Ella up in the sea.

I thought that she drowned, but apparently, she had been able to swim ashore and survived.

I thought that she would finally give up, but things just got worse.

Every day, even while we were training, she kept trying to pick fights with me.

Luckily, I was set to leave the island with Prince Anthony.

We were leaving Marge Island to go on a difficult mission to launch a counterattack on vampires.

Anthony wanted a trainee who could fight alongside him and expel the vampires who were invading the werewolves’ territory.

During combat training, the prince decided to bring along whoever turned out to be the strongest among the trainees.

I managed to defeat all my fellow trainees during the sparring session so I got chosen.

The day we left the island was a very windy one.

I boarded Anthony's private plane under the envious eyes of the other trainees, and we flew out.

We went to the Red Sun Pack's territory.

I recalled that Barbara's friend, Anna, was the daughter of that pack's Alpha.

The Red Sun Pack lived close to the vampires’ territory, so their border was often invaded by vampires.

Our task was to annihilate this group of greedy vampires.

Anthony's private plane landed in a clearing in the middle of a forest.

After getting off the plane, we then walked over to a small log cabin.

Although the architecture of the cabin was simple, it looked very cozy.

"Mr.Jones, do you also have your private land in the Red Sun Pack's territory?"I joked as I put my luggage down.

"This forest is located along the border of the pack’'s domain.Vampires often cross the line and bother them.I come here occasionally to inspect the place.And every time I visit, I stay in this log cabin,"Anthony explained.

"When will we start our mission?"The thought that I would be able to use my combat training in real life made me excited and eager to fight.

"I can't wait."

"Don't underestimate the enemies,"

Anthony reminded me coolly.

"We are no longer on the training ground.This mission is very dangerous because vampires are quite ferocious."

"Don't worry.I can protect myself against them.Mr.Jones, why didn't you bring some attendants with you? Why am I the only one accompanying you? Do you have that much confidence in my strength?"

"I believe in your capabilities."

Anthony looked at me and spoke in a gentle tone.
