Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 170: Leave 

Anthony's POV:

This morning, I received a piece of shocking news.

As soon as I found out, I quickly alerted Jennifer.

"Jennifer, I just heard that Austin is about to make Caroline his queen, and that her baby is his."

"What? Austin is the father of Caroline's baby? And he wants to make her the queen?!" Jennifer gasped.

"Yes.It sounds like they've been colluding with each other for a while now.Perhaps my memory loss has something to do with them.Plus your car accident and the assassination attempt."

"They're crazy!" Jennifer sighed.

"Jennifer, the queen's coronation ceremony is soon.As a member of the royal family, I have to go attend.But the Rainbow Pack still needs you.I'm afraid we may have to separate for a while." I sighed.

I must go back.I always felt that something big was going to happen.

"Anthony, but what about your curse? You can't go back alone.How about this? I'll call my brother and ask what's going on.If he's on his way back here, I'll accompany you," Jennifer offered.

"Okay, sounds good."

I didn't want to be separated from my love either.

If Jerome could return to the Rainbow Pack in time, Jennifer and I wouldn't have to endure the suffering of separation.

"Hello, Jerome, have you found Skylar yet?"

Jennifer asked when Jerome picked up the phone.

She put him on speaker.

"When will you come back?"

"No, I haven't," Jerome said with a sigh.

"Sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to keep running the pack.When I find her, we will return as soon as possible.”

"Okay.Be careful and keep in touch."

Jennifer hung up the phone and shook her head at me.

"Jennifer, you don't have to go back with me.Don't worry.I'll be careful."

I tried to comfort her.

She still had so many things to deal with, I didn’t want to add anything more to her plate.

"No, Anthony.I have to go with you.Don't you remember what Tony said? He said that we were about to face a big disaster.Plus, we haven't even figured out your curse.I'd rather go with you than stay here and worry about you all day long."

"What about the affairs of the Rainbow Pack?"

"I will hold a meeting with the elders to discuss this matter with them."

"Jennifer..."

But before I could complete that thought, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and my heartbeat quickened.

It was indescribable like tens of thousands of ants biting at my heart all together.

Unable to bear the pain, I doubled over and fell to my knees.

"Anthony, what's wrong?"

Jennifer hurried to help me up.

But the pain disappeared just as soon as it came.

"Nothing."I stood up and held Jennifer's hand to comfort her.

"I think it might be the curse.You were in so much pain just now.I can't let you go back to the Osman Kingdom alone,"

Jennifer said worriedly, tears streaming down her face.

"Okay, okay, okay.Let's go back together.I will also assign more men to look for Larry.Hopefully, he can solve the problem of the curse.Don't cry.I'm fine, babe."

Jennifer had always been strong, but now she was breaking down and crying like a child.It pained me to see her like this.

"I'm worried about you.Let's get you checked."

Jennifer wiped her tears away and insisted on looking for a doctor to examine my condition.

Jennifer's POV:

Anthony had always been in good health, so I knew it was the curse that had caused his sudden heartache.

We needed to find Larry as soon as possible.

Going back to the Osman Kingdom was going to be dangerous, so I made arrangements to accompany him and summoned all the pack's elders.

After working with the elders the past few days, they had certain understanding of my strength now and were very cooperative.

As soon as I called for a meeting, they all rushed to the hall.

"I have something to discuss with you."

I have to leave the Rainbow Pack for a while.

I will accompany Anthony to the Osman Kingdom.

Such being the case, I need to select an elder to take over the pack affairs for me temporarily."

I didn't beat around the bush.

"Miss Smith, are you really leaving? The pack's affairs are finally on the right track! Plus, Jerome has already left.What are we going to do without you?"

Some elders pleaded for me to stay.

"I'm sorry, everyone.You all know that Anthony is my mate.Now he has to go back to the kingdom to deal with something important.I have to accompany him.I hope you can understand.I will come back to Rainbow Pack as soon as the problem is solved."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, we respect your decision.Simon has assisted two Alphas in the past, so he knows a lot about the pack's affairs.I nominate Simon to temporarily take charge."

"I think Tony is also a good choice.He is the most powerful augur in our pack."

"I agree with you.What if Elder Simon takes over the Rainbow Pack while Elder Tony assists him?" I suggested.

"That's a good idea!"

"We agree."

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Well, that's settled then.I believe in the strength of the two elders.If you encounter any problems, you can inform me and we can solve it together."

"Okay, Miss Smith.Don't worry.Tony and I will definitely protect the Rainbow Pack and wait for you and Jerome to come back," Simon promised.

"Thank you, elders."

I said goodbye to them and left the hall.

Anthony and I had agreed to meet the assassin we caught previously after the meeting.

We suspected that he had been sent here by Austin, so we intended to take him back with us to expose Austin’s crime.

But when we reached the dungeon, we found him dead.

"Damn it! We're too late." I looked at Anthony helplessly.

"Fortunately, we have other witnesses," Anthony comforted me.

Then, we went to find the other witnesses Dana and Gary.

"Mr.Jones, Miss Smith, why are you here?"

Dana ushered us into their living room and poured tea for us.

"Dana, we are going back to the Osman Kingdom.After a while, we'll look for an opportunity to overturn Austin's rule.Please confront him then," Anthony said.

"Of course, we will do everything in our power to help you two." Dana strongly supported us.

"Gary and I were in hiding for too long.If we ever find the chance to tell the truth about what Austin has done, we will not hesitate.Right, Gary?" Dana turned to face him.

"Of course.We'll do whatever we can, Mr.Jones," Gary replied affirmatively.

"Thank you two for your help," Anthony said gratefully.

"We don't have much time now, but I'll inform you what to do soon." Anthony and I stood up. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Dana and Gary saw us off.

As Anthony and I were walking on a path back to the Rainbow House, I suddenly thought of something.

"Anthony, I think we'd better keep our plan to go back a secret.The fewer people know about it, the better.That way, we will have time to visit your mom first and make sure she's safe before we think about anything else."

"Good idea, Jennifer.I'll contact the men watching over my mom and make sure they're prepared for anything that might happen."

Anthony said, pulling out his phone to call his subordinate.

I watched as his expression grew gloomier and gloomier.

"How is she?" I asked once he hung up.

"My mom showed signs of waking up recently, but soon fell back into a deep sleep.Someone suspects that it's the work of black magic."

"Black magic? Both of you were attacked with black magic.Do you think this has anything to do with Caroline?"

In my eyes, it looked like Caroline was connected to a very powerful wizard and used black magic on mother and son in order to get to Anthony.

"I think so," Anthony nodded.

Fortunately, we knew Roy.

Maybe he could wake Elizabeth up.

We called Jeff and asked him to persuade Roy to come with us.

We made sure to mention that Roy would be handsomely rewarded.

Jeff relayed our message promptly.

After a while, he informed us that Roy had agreed to go back with us.

This was really exciting news.

"Wonderful! With Roy's help, my mom might be saved!" Anthony was ecstatic.

I smiled at his enthusiasm.

It would be great if Roy could save Elizabeth.

But thinking about everything else worried me.What would happen after we went back this time? Could Anthony's plan go smoothly?
