Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV:

The dress Anthony prepared for me was of a noble and elegant style perfect for today's occasion.

Ever since I stepped inside the banquet hall with Anthony and Elizabeth, all eyes were on me.

Most of them were hostile, especially those coming from female lycans.

"Who is this she-wolf? What's she doing with Mrs.Jones and Anthony?"

"Could she be the prince's mate?"

"No way! What's her family background?"

"See? She and Anthony have marked each other.They really are mates!"

"Unbelievable.Anthony has always been standoffish with girls.How come he suddenly has a mate? And she is a mere she-wolf with no family background."

"Why didn't Moon Goddess designate me as Anthony's mate?"

"I heard that she was also a heroine who saved Colored Flowers Pack this time and would be going to get engaged to Anthony." I could hear what they were saying.

Some envied me, while some disdained me.Either way, they were negative towards me.But this was nothing new.I always knew that I would be judged as soon as word got out that I was Anthony's mate.

On the contrary, it was Anthony who couldn't take it, so he walked to my side, took my hand and held it up in front of the crowd.

"Jennifer is my mate, the one I love deeply.No one can hurt her.I will punish whoever does so."

The other girls immediately stopped slandering me and started to apologize.

"Sorry."

Anthony really gave me a sense of security.

He managed to notice a detail as small as this and came to my rescue.

"It doesn't matter.Just mind your language from now on." I waved my hand generously to show that I forgave them.
