Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

I had a terrible nightmare that shook me to the core.My limbs felt stiff and my body was covered in cold sweat when I woke up.

A sense of dread filled me as I tried to recall what had happened before I lost my consciousness.

I remembered Anthony and me getting swept by the avalanche, but fortunately, we fell into an icy cave and managed to escape death.

However, to make matters worse, the Love Curse started to cause Anthony pain again.

I couldn't remember much after that except that I had lost consciousness after I got hit by something.I sat up without conscious thought and scanned my surroundings, but Anthony was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as I stood up, my knees gave beneath me and I fell to the floor with a loud thudding noise.Wait, where was I? I looked around and found myself in a strange log cabin.

There was nothing fancy about the old cabin, and the furnishings were plain and simple.

I tried to get up, but I didn't have the strength to lift myself from the floor.However, I had to find Anthony no matter what.I gritted my teeth to endure the pain and forced myself up on my feet.

As soon as I stood up, a strange voice came from behind me.

"Hey, you're awake!"

I turned around to follow the voice and saw a man in a black cloak standing at the door.

Was he talking to me? I took a step back with apprehension and looked at him anxiously, wondering if he was going to do something bad to me.

On second thought, perhaps this was the man who had saved me.

After all, I should have been lying dead in the snow by now.

"Who are you?" My voice was hoarse.

"I am a wizard.I live here, on the top of the snow mountain.When I went out today, I found you and a man, unconscious in the snow.If I hadn't brought you here, you would have died," the man replied calmly.

I felt relieved as he didn't seem hostile at all.

"I see.Thank you, sir."

I politely showed him my gratitude, but when I heard about Anthony, my eyes widened with curiosity.

"The man who was with me...Where is he?"

"The man? He was badly injured when I found him.Alas..."
