Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

After having breakfast, I checked my phone.

Apparently, Jerome had sent me a message the night before.

It was a picture of a Skylar smiling by the seaside, wind blowing through her hair.She looked beautiful.

Smiling down at my phone, I quickly replied to Jerome.

After hitting send, I held up my phone in front of Anthony and sighed.

"Look, Anthony.Jerome and Skylar look like they're having the time of their lives.Their pain and suffering are finally behind them."

Anthony glanced at the picture and his expression softened.

"I'm happy for them.Jerome is as determined and kind-hearted as you.I knew God wouldn't treat him unfairly."

Knowing that Jerome and Skylar were safe and happy, I felt relieved.

Thinking about them reminded me of something.

"Honey, how are the wedding preparations going? I'm so nervous, I'm going to be sick.What if I make a mistake?"

Anthony walked over to me and took my hand.

"Relax, Jennifer.The invitations have been sent out; the venue has been set up; and the dress has been tailored to fit you.Everything is ready.You don't have to worry about anything.Plus, for us, this ceremony is just a bonus.Everyone already knows that you are my queen—and a reasonable, elegant, and dignified one at that.

Hearing Anthony's words, I blushed shyly.

"You flatter me!"

Anthony just smiled back at me reassuringly.

Embarrassed, I quickly changed the subject.

"I haven't heard from the pack in days.I'll call Simon."

I then dialed the elder's number.

"Hello, Elder Simon? This is Jennifer.How have you been? How's the pack doing?"

"Hello, Alpha Jennifer.I'm fine, thanks for asking.The pack is as peaceful as before you left.We're all doing great.Don't worry about us," Simon said proudly.
