Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 109

Caroline's POV: 

I had naively thought that Anthony would become mine after his memories of Jennifer had been erased.

It was only later that I realized how wrong I was.

Anthony crossed paths with Jennifer once again at the anniversary celebration.

Even though he had amnesia, he was still so protective of her.

When I noticed that Anthony was attracted to Jennifer all over again, I stomped my feet in anger.

I returned to the hotel and thought of the assassination attempt during the banquet.

Austin must have had something to do with it, so I called him.

"Why are you calling, my dear Caroline? Miss me?"

Austin’s voice came through from the other end of the line.

"Austin, were you the one who sent some werewolves to assassinate Jennifer?"

I didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Yes, I did because Jennifer is a thorn in your side.Aren't you happy to have me as an ally?" Austin frankly admitted.

"Alpha Arthur of the Rainbow Pack is already my lackey so don't worry.He will kill Jennifer for us."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

Were all of Austin’s men idiots? He said that he would assassinate Jennifer, but that bitch was still alive.

"Austin, can your men do nothing right? They failed to kill Jennifer, and they even tried to kill Anthony! Did you order them to do that as well? Why are you not keeping your promise to leave him alone?" I demanded angrily.

"Babe, what are you talking about?"

Austin chuckled.

"I didn't order anyone to kill Anthony.It was probably just a misunderstanding.Besides, Anthony has lost his memories so he no longer poses any threat to me.Why should I kill him? We made a deal.As long as you hold on to him and make sure that he isn't going to usurp the throne, I won't hurt him."

"You really promise?"

I was not sure whether or not Austin was telling the truth.

My bigger priority was getting rid of Jennifer as soon as possible.

I urged, "I trust that you will not harm Anthony, but you need to get rid of Jennifer right away.And make sure not to leave any evidence that we're involved.I can't stand it anymore.I want her dead!"

"Don't worry, Caroline.My men are all loyal to me.Even if they fail, they won't betray me.I won't leave any evidence nor will I let Anthony discover our plan."

"Good.You need to take action as soon as possible before things get even more complicated.I must win Anthony's heart.You know how much I need your help."

I softened my tone and asked him to speed up his plans.

After Austin agreed, I ended the call.

I wanted to see Anthony after that so I went to his room.

Through the open door, I saw him sitting on the sofa.

He was handsome and charming as always.

But at the moment, Anthony was in a daze while holding the diamond ring.

He must have been convinced by Jennifer's words and was now suspecting me of lying to him.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.

I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to kill Jennifer myself when I could.

After Anthony put away the diamond ring, I made my presence known by knocking on the door.

"Anthony, when are we leaving? Now that the anniversary celebration is over, we should head back."

"I'm not going back for the time being.I'll stay here with the Rainbow Pack and investigate the assassination attempt."

I had not expected Anthony's answer.Damn it! He wanted to stay here? Because of that bitch, Jennifer? 

"All right, Anthony.If that is what you have decided...It's getting late.Can I invite you to dinner?"

I felt nervous about asking him on a romantic date.

However, Anthony pissed me off by turning down my invitation.I had no choice but to go back to my room alone.

Once I got there, I was boiling with anger.
