Tony's POV:
I couldn't believe it.My friend, Simon, was sitting next to me.
Ever since Arthur became the Alpha, I had been living as a fugitive.
I had to flee, and as such, I didn't get many chances to see Simon.
Now that we had been reunited, I couldn't help but sigh wistfully.
I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to be alive and see my good old friend.
But even more pressing was Jennifer, who was asking me for the truth about the past.
I hesitated for a while, lost in my memories.
Scenes of the past flashed in my mind.
Over ten years ago, before Arthur ascended to the position of Alpha, he was the Beta.
Despite this, he still held a high position in the pack as the second hand of Alpha Lewis.
Arthur approached me out of the blue and asked me to do him a huge favor.
Arthur asked me to make up that prophecy about Jennifer being a jinx and that everyone around her were doomed to die.
I didn't know him that well, so I didn't expect him to ask something so ridiculous of me.
Naturally, I didn't want to accept Arthur's request, but then he kidnapped my family and threatened to torture them.
When he saw that I was still hesitant, he started to bribe me.
I had the hobby of collecting antiques back then, so Arthur offered me the antique that Lewis had given him as a reward for helping him.
Despite my initial hesitation, I ended up agreeing to cooperate with Arthur.
I foretold in public that Jennifer was a jinx, which turned the elders of the pack against her.
Later, Jennifer's mother, Doris, died suddenly.
Everyone said that Jennifer was the cause of Doris' death.
They demanded Lewis to eliminate the jinx, but of course, Lewis didn't agree.
