Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Prince Anthony seemed to be looking at me and Daniel.

After letting his gaze linger on me a second longer, he turned away and then left without a backward glance.

I scratched my head in confusion.

What was the matter with Anthony? Was he just some moody werewolf? Or did I somehow offend him? "Jennifer, what's on your mind?"

Daniel waved his hand in front of me, trying to get my attention.

"Is something bothering you?"

"What? Oh, it's nothing."I gestured for him to sit next to me on the lawn.

"Thanks for bringing snacks!"

"No worries.We're friends."

He opened the shopping bag and handed me a bag of chips.

"I heard that girls like eating chips, so I figured you might want some, too."

Friends? What a precious word! He was the noble Alpha’s heir, yet he was willing to be friends with someone like me.

"That's really nice of you, Daniel.Yes, we are friends." My eyes stung a little.

I was so moved that I found myself wanting to cry.

I took the snack gratefully, tore the bag open, and shared the chips with him.

"Jennifer, you did great today,"  Daniel said.

"I'm honored to be friends with you!"

"Me too."

Even though we had just met, it felt like we were old friends.

I felt like I could talk to him about anything under the sun.

We talked for so long and covered so many topics that we realized we had a lot of things in common.

Daniel was well-informed, funny, and outgoing.

Chatting with him was pretty fun. I felt very lucky to have him as a friend.

"You know what? Anthony is as emotionless as a psychopath," I complained, pursing my lips.
