Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Daniel's POV: 

I had spent most of my time preparing for the wedding with Helen.

On slower days, I would bring her along to visit my father.

My father's health was deteriorating by the day and despite my worries, there was nothing I could do to help him.

"Daniel! Jennifer and Mr.Jones have returned from the snow mountain.They were able to remove the Love Curse."

Suddenly, Helen pushed the door open and walked in with a big smile on her face.

"It looks like they will be able to attend our wedding after all!"

"Really? That's great!"

I was happy to hear the news and I took out my phone to congratulate the happy couple.

"I'll send them a message."

"Hello, Mr.Jones.I heard from Helen that you and Jennifer were able to remove the Love Curse.Congratulations! It would be our honor to have you attend our wedding which is going to take place in two days."

After sending the message, I sighed exasperatedly as I looked at my phone and fell into deep thought.

Why was my father's health getting worse with each passing day? After all, the doctor previously said that he was getting better.

"Daniel, why the long face? Is something bothering you?" Helen asked.

"I just can't stop thinking about my father.I'm afraid he won't be alive long enough..."

Despite all the good news around me, I could not feel happy while my father was lying in his deathbed.

"Maybe everything will be fine after we get married."

Helen comforted me with her words.

"Helen, you are such a considerate angel."

I kissed Helen on the forehead.I felt lucky to have someone like her by my side at such a difficult moment in my life.

"I can't bear to see you like that," Helen said.

Her cheeks blushed red and I felt a strong urge to give her a kiss, but someone knocked at the door.

"Sir, I have some bad news about Alpha Marlon.Luna Betty wants to see you right now!" an attendant reported.

"What?"

Startled, I quickly opened the door.
