Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV:

After staying in the hospital for a week to recover, I was finally discharged and able to see the sun again.

Breathing the fresh air outside around me, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As soon as I returned to the dormitory, Skylar greeted me with a warm hug.

"Welcome, beautiful Jennifer,"she said, rubbing her cheek against mine.

"I was almost bored to death while you were away.

Thank God you're back! Have you completely recovered now?"

"Almost."I nodded slowly.

A bad feeling arose in the pit of my stomach as I remembered how I had fallen into the trap in the jungle.

"But I suspect that someone set me up.

There were so many of us who participated in the jungle exploration that day, but I was the only one who fell into a trap and almost died.

Isn't that weird? Besides, Marge Island belongs to the royal family.

Hunters aren't allowed there.

So why was there a trap? It doesn't add up.

I have to carefully look into this matter.

Whoever set this trap for me, I won't let them go!"

"Jennifer, you suspect something too?"

Skylar's expression suddenly became serious.

"Actually, there's something that has been bothering me.I wanted to tell you about it when I came to visit you at the hospital, but you were in poor health at that time, so I decided to wait until after you were discharged."

Seeing her beckon me closer, I leaned in and let my ear hover in front of her lips.

After looking around to make sure that no one else was around, Skylar whispered, "That day, I saw a she-wolf in the jungle.She was acting sneaky and vigilant, which I found a bit weird.I saw her wandering around a grassland for a long time.I didn't pay much attention to her at that time.But after your accident, my mind kept going back to that scene over and over again.It couldn't have been a coincidence."

"Who was she?"I asked through gritted teeth.

I couldn't forget the pain of falling into the deep pit and being stabbed all over my body.

"I think it was...Ella."

Skylar's face was scrunched up in concentration as she tried to accurately recall the details of that day.

"I remember what she was wearing.I don't think I'm wrong.Jennifer, you don't look good.Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."I shook my head and sneered inwardly.

So it was Ella.

Her father had already committed unforgivable crimes against my family.
