Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Simon's POV: 

I led the group to a mountain in the east of the Rainbow Pack.It was a desolate place where almost nobody would want to live.

The only sign of life was a dilapidated village on the mountain.It was small and scant, with very few residents.

Over the years, I had tried many times to contact Tony, but to no avail.

After the initial period, I had completely lost contact with him.

I sent my subordinates to this mountain to look for him, but they returned with empty hands, saying that there was no trace of Tony anywhere.

I knew that there must be some reason why Tony hadn't contacted me all this while, but I didn't know what.

By coming to this mountain to look for him, I just wanted to try my luck one last time.

I hoped that at the least, I could get some clue about his whereabouts.

"Elder Simon, I don't understand.Why did Elder Tony have to live in such a remote place?"

Jennifer asked in surprise, glancing around the environment as we walked along the mountain path.

"Here is the thing, Jennifer.After Arthur became the Alpha, Tony was afraid that Arthur would take his life.He was so scared that he fled to this mountain.He has been living a life of hiding ever since," I explained to her gently.

"But now I'm even more confused.Why would Arthur want to kill Elder Tony? Did Elder Tony provoke him somehow?" Jennifer asked, with her eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't know either.If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that it has something to do with Tony's prophecy.Tony once predicted that you were be a jinx.He said that you would harm those who were closest to you, and that everyone who approached you would suffer misfortune.I don't believe the prophecy myself, but there are many others who firmly believe in it."

As we talked, we arrived at the village on the mountain.

Just as I expected, it was a very backward village.All the villagers were staying in simple log cabins.

We looked around for a while, but there was no sign of Tony.We only saw a child about ten years old flying a kite in the open space.

There was no one else nearby, so I decided to ask the boy for help.

"Kid, come here." I waved the child over and handed him some money.

"Have you ever heard of an old werewolf named Tony? Does he stay in this village?"
