Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 216: Austin's Remorse 

Elizabeth's POV: 

I watched quietly as Austin and Anthony talked and found that the atmosphere between them was not as tense as before.

This made me sigh deeply.

I hated Austin deeply.

After all, he had killed my beloved husband.

But admittedly, I was relieved to see that the relationship between the two brothers was improving.

Otherwise, Anthony would need to stay vigilant as long as Austin was alive.

He would never be able to rest easy.

It was good for Anthony and Austin to reconcile.

After all, they were brothers.

But thinking about my poor husband's fate, I couldn't help but shed angry tears.

"Take good care of Caroline, Austin," I said coldly.

"If it weren't for her and the baby, I wouldn't have spared your life.If you dare show even a hint of rebellion, Caroline will be left a widow."

I didn't care that I was being harsh.

Austin needed to be warned.

"I have accepted defeat.Rest assured, I will not try to rebel or anything like that."

Austin lowered his head.

"From now on, I'll live with Caroline on the island in peace."

"Good.Austin, can you tell me why you killed your father?" I asked.

All the color drained from Austin's face and he tried to avert his gaze.

"Answer me, Austin!"

I demanded, raising my voice.

"Why? Why did you have to kill him? He is your father! How could you do that to your own father?"

Thinking about my late husband, depression overtook me and my knees buckled from under me.

Jennifer and Anthony both rushed to my side to support me, worry written all over their faces.

"I...The truth is, I didn't want to kill him,"

Austin stuttered, lowering his head dejectedly.

"Ever since I killed him, nightmares have plagued me every single night.I always dream that he wants to kill me.You have to believe me.I never wanted to kill him.But he had always favored Anthony, which made me jealous.I held a grudge against the both of them for the longest time.In the battlefield, I killed him on impulse.I regretted it instantly!"

"You bastard!"

I pointed at Austin with a trembling finger.

"Your father's efforts to raise you were all in vain! He still cared about you, you know? He praised Anthony in front of you because he wanted to motivate you! But that doesn't matter.You had no excuse to kill your father!"
