Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Anthony's POV: 

After I sent my trusted subordinates to look for Jerome and Skylar, Jennifer and I once again walked around the royal palace to look for them, but we still couldn't find any trace of them.

The worried look on Jennifer's face made me feel sorry for her, but I knew that no matter how hard I tried to comfort her, it wouldn't be of any help.

After all, Jerome was her brother, while Skylar was her best friend.

Two of the closest people to her were missing.

There was no doubt that she must be feeling very anxious right now.

I could only accompany her silently.

"Mr.Jones, two suspected spies from the vampires side have escaped from the royal palace."

Once we reached the royal palace, a guard rushed over, bowed to me, and reported the news.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jennifer's face darken.

"Okay, I see.You can leave now," I said to the guard while squeezing Jennifer's hand to calm her down.

"Yes, Mr.Jones." The guard promptly left.

"Anthony, I can't stay here and do nothing.I want to look for them outside the royal palace," Jennifer said, decisively turning around to leave.

"Jennifer, don't worry.Skylar is with Jerome right now.With his protection, she'll be fine.Jerome is the future Alpha, and he's very strong.You should trust him," I said, trying to comfort Jennifer.

"Let's go back and have a good rest.I've already sent my men to look for them.They'll let us know as soon as they find something."

"But Anthony, I'm really worried about Skylar."

Jennifer sighed, with reluctance written all over her face.

"Honey, this is not the right time.Many people know that I have been bewitched with the Love Curse and that you are my mate,"

I explained in a gentle voice, pulling Jennifer into my arms.

"Whether we know it or not, there are many eyes on us.It's not safe for us to go out and look for them.The remaining people in Austin's faction may take the opportunity to get revenge on us."

"You're right, Anthony.Let's go and get some sleep.You must be tired after the long day."

Jennifer's eyes softened, and she took my hand.

Her words of concern for me filled my heart with happiness.

I accompanied Jennifer back to our bedroom, but not before ordering my men to strengthen the search for Jerome and Skylar to the periphery of the royal palace.

I only sent out the men that I absolutely trusted.

If and when they found Jerome and Skylar, they would immediately bring them to me without letting any harm come to them.

Once we were in the bedroom, Jennifer pulled me to sit down.

"Anthony, how do you feel? Is the Love Curse having an effect on you?" Jennifer asked with concern.

"I'm fine, honey.Go to sleep.You must be tired after fighting with all those guards."
