Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 104

Anthony's POV: 

Before I left for today's anniversary ceremony, I made sure my mother's safety was secured.

I cherished my mother.

Of course I had to ensure her safety.

I had put my most trusted attendants in charge of her.

I couldn't leave with ease until everything was in place for my mother.

Previously, Arthur had sent an invitation to the royal family, inviting us to attend the celebration.

When I heard that the royal family had agreed to send several representatives, I actually found myself volunteering.

The truth was, I didn't find this ceremony important.

I could've sent other members to represent the royal family if I wanted.

But I didn't.

I didn't know why, but for some reason, my intuition told me to go.

However, now that someone attempted to poison my mother, I felt uneasy.

I decided I'd continue looking into it after the ceremony.

Such a matter was by no means trifle.

As for Caroline, I still didn't feel anything romantic towards her.

I had asked those around me if we were really a couple, and everyone had said yes.

But this only served to confuse me even more.

Today, I finally put my worries aside and went to the Rainbow Pack with Caroline to celebrate the anniversary ceremony.

The ceremony itself was quite lively.

The werewolves of Rainbow Pack were very welcoming and enthusiastic, and all of them bowed to us when we arrived.

"No need to be so formal.Today marks the 10th anniversary of Arthur's succession to Alpha.Just enjoy yourselves,"

I told them and waved my hand.

"Oh my God! Mr.Jones is so handsome! And Miss Wilson is so beautiful! They're a perfect match."

"I heard that they're not brother and sister by blood.So they can be together, right?"

"Maybe they have already been together."

I overheard several werewolves talking about us.

I couldn't help but frown at what they were saying.

Why did everyone except me think Caroline and I were a perfect match? In my eyes, she was just my sister.

I sighed and glanced at Caroline, who was greeting the werewolves with a friendly smile.

Then, Arthur led me and Caroline to the most distinguished seats in the hall.

He smiled respectfully and made sure we were comfortable before announcing the opening of the anniversary celebration.

Soon, delicious food and red wine were served.

The sound of firecrackers echoed in the air.

Suddenly, the lights came on and an onstage show began.

"Anthony, I heard that these performers are great.Someone told me that they've been singing and dancing all day.I even heard there's a clown performance! This will be interesting."

Caroline raised her glass to mine.

"Anthony, let me propose a toast to you."

"Cheers to this celebration,"

I said indifferently, clinking my glass against hers absentmindedly.

I looked at the food in front of me and frowned slightly.

I still couldn't smell anything.

With a sigh, I reluctantly sliced a small piece of salmon and put it in my mouth.

As I chewed, I felt someone staring at me.

 I glanced up and sure enough, I caught a beautiful girl looking at me.

Her eyes seemed to burn with desire.

Who was she? Why was she looking at me like that? I was so taken aback that I didn’t know what to do.

Finally, at a loss, I lowered my head awkwardly.

Although that girl was exactly my type, I had no idea who she was.

I needed to avoid trouble and consequently, I needed to avoid her.

When I was about to continue eating, Zane suddenly became restless and uneasy.

"Anthony, I like that girl!"Zane yelled excitedly in my mind.

"She looks so pretty and sexy.I think she'll make a good choice."

"Are you crazy? Why are you so excited over a complete stranger?"I replied sourly.

But before we could argue, Arthur stood up to propose a toast to me.

I smiled politely and nodded.

After a while, I stood up to go to the bathroom.
