Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Arthur POV: 

Hearing Tony's accusation, I was flustered.

Today's banquet was just an ordinary one.

I didn't expect so many things to go wrong.

And the most unbelievable part was, how could Tony, who had disappeared without a trace, come back to the Rainbow Pack? He even had the antique that I had used to bribe him all those years ago.

An ominous feeling pooled in the pit of my stomach, telling me that I could be on the brink of facing a huge crisis.

What if they were well- prepared? Well, in this situation, I could only force myself to calm down and vehemently deny everything.

"Elder Tony, what are you talking about? I was never familiar with you.How could I bribe you? Moreover, I never had enmity with you either.Why would I send my men to kill you? It's ridiculous!"

I sneered in a desperate attempt to claim ignorance.

"Why are you lying? What's your purpose of spouting nonsense here?"

"Arthur, you are the most shameless werewolf I have ever seen!"

Breaking out into curses, Tony rolled up his sleeves and showed everyone the dense splatter of scars on his arms.

"If you didn't send anyone to hunt me down, why is my body covered with scars? These past several years, I've been running for my life.I had a narrow brush with death on several occasions.These scars that adorn my body are the evidence of your crime!"

"Who knows where those scars come from? What can they prove? Tony, what kind of deep hatred do you have against me? How can you slander me like this?" I barked.

I would insist that he was cooking up a story till the very end.

"If these scars can't prove anything, then what about this antique? This was a gift to you from the late Alpha Lewis.Many werewolves were there to witness it.How did such a priceless treasure fall into my hands? It was common knowledge in our pack that I liked collecting antiques.You bribed me with this antique and forced me to accuse Jennifer of being a jinx.That was the only way you could have an excuse to kill Lewis and seize the position of the Alpha!"

Tony snarled indignantly, raising the antique in his hand.

To my dismay, the other elders echoed in agreement with him one after the other.

"Tony is right.We all saw Alpha Lewis give this antique to Arthur."

"Tony isn't lying.Arthur, how could you do such a thing? Jennifer was just a little girl.How could you bear to slander an innocent child? And poor Lewis.He should not have died such an unjust death."

"Arthur, the evidence is clear for everyone to see.What else do you have to say for yourself? Unless you can prove that Tony's words are false, we won't believe you!"
