Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Anthony's POV: 

If I were to be completely honest, I loathed the idea of Jennifer sharing a meal with Carl.I just hated the way he looked at her, as though he coveted my beloved she -wolf.

Every single time they met, Carl would fix his eyes on Jennifer, as though she was the only thing that interested him in this world.

However, Jennifer and Carl were good childhood friends.

Wasn't it normal for friends to have chat and have dinner together? My rational mind told me that I needed to lighten up a little.

Plus, I loved Jennifer.I loved her independent soul.I knew that she wasn't the kind of she-wolf that would take her relationship lightly.I needed to understand and trust her.So I relented and accompanied her to see Carl.

When Jennifer and I approached the restaurant entryway, the doorman bowed to me.

"Mr.and Mrs.Jones, this way please!"I nodded, took Jennifer's hand and together, we followed the waiter into the restaurant.

Carl was already there, sitting by the window and reading the menu.

"Hi, Carl, I hope we didn't keep you waiting!"

Jennifer greeted him warmly.

I also nodded to him curtly.Carl stood up and reached out his hand to me.

"Don't worry.I just got here.It’s nice to see you again, Mr.Jones."

"Hello, Alpha Carl."

Because Carl behaved so politely, I needed to reciprocate.I reached out to shake his hand, then quietly pulled out a chair for Jennifer.

"Here, honey."

"Thank you, honey!"Jennifer sat down, smiling up at me.

"Mr.Jones, I don’t know what sort of food you like, so please order whatever you want,"Carl said as he handed me the menu.

I accepted it graciously and skimmed through it.I quickly ordered Jennifer's favorite dishes.

"Carl, how about you? What do you like to eat?"Jennifer asked politely.

"I'm good with anything."Carl sat opposite us with a big smile.

"Do you still hate spicy food, Carl? I remember that you used to cry whenever you ate something spicy,"

Jennifer teased Carl and tittered.

Carl also chuckled.

"Of course I eat spicy food now.I'm an adult after all."

Seeing how casually the two interacted, I felt a little unhappy.

How dare he talk and laugh so naturally with my queen? "Let me order a few more dishes."I waved at a waiter and pointed at the braised hot and spicy shrimps and spicy chicken wings on the menu.

"We'll have this and this.I want them to be as spicy as possible."

When Jennifer saw the dishes I ordered, she snickered.

I couldn't force Carl to change the way he addressed her.I could do nothing but look at Carl coldly, not bothering to hide my hostility.I hoped that he would get the message and stop staring at my queen.She belonged to me and only
