Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 118

Jennifer's POV: 

"Do you need to get that bandaged?"

Seeing the scratch on Anthony's arm made me feel bad.

I couldn't believe Caroline went crazy in front of him just now.

Yet, at the same time, I was happy that Anthony defended me in front of her.

"I'm fine,"

Anthony answered, carefully observing my reaction.

"It's nothing.I'm sure it'll heal soon."

I knew why he was acting so cautious.

I sank back into bed, depressed at the thought of Caroline's baby being Anthony's.

= While I didn't believe for a second that Anthony would have slept with her, the mere thought of them having a child made me feel so gloomy.

"Jennifer, I might've forgotten the past, but I have a gut feeling that I've always treated Caroline like a sister," 

"You're the only girl who I view as a mate.I know you're sad, but please trust me.I'll find a way to regain my memories.Then I will know the truth."

"But how? How did you lose your memories in the first place?"

This question had been plaguing me.

How could Anthony lose his memories out of the blue? Someone must be behind this.

Anthony fell quiet, thinking about it carefully.

"I don't know either.I think it must have happened in my sleep.I've heard that a wizard's black magic can alter one’s memories.Maybe I can ask a wizard to help me.But they have a reputation for being mysterious and hard to find.Anyway, don't worry.I'll look into it."

"What are you going to do about Caroline's baby?"

"I really don't believe that the child is mine.But I can't confront Caroline right now.Otherwise, she may do something terrible.Don't worry.I've sent someone to investigate her.I want to see who she's close contact with.I will inform you as soon as I get any news."

"Okay.I trust you.Even though you've lost your memories, I Know you're not a playboy.There's no way Caroline's baby is yours! By the way, what makes you think that I'm your mate? Aren't you worried that I'm lying?"

Anthony reached out and held my hand.

"Jennifer, you make me feel something else.It’s exactly this indescribable feeling that makes me believe that you're the one for me.Whenever I see you, I can't help but want to get close to you.The second I heard that you got into an accident, I was scared to death.I realize now that you're too important to me.I don't Know what to do with you by my side."

Tears welled up in my eyes and I threw my arms around him.

He had finally spoken out his true feelings.

"You know what? The reason why you feel this way is because I'm your mate and we're connected telepathically.Just like this.Do you feel it? We are mates."

As I spoke, I moved my hand from his chest to his Adam's apple.

"Anthony, I miss the feeling of kissing you."

Anthony was stunned when he heard this.

Then, he grabbed the back of my head and kissed me.

"Mm..."

I hadn't kissed Anthony in what seemed like an eternity.

His familiar taste made me moan with pleasure.

Anthony seemed to be stimulated by this.

He bit my lower lip and looked at me affectionately.

His eyes were blazing with desire and his hands roamed all over my body restlessly.

The kiss I wanted for so long was so intoxicating, I fell like I was drowning.

Anthony's POV: 

I was holding Jennifer in my arms.

We kissed passionately, as though I could never get enough of her.

I found myself obsessed with the way she tasted.

Jennifer seemed to have cast a spell on me.

I felt like I had involuntarily fallen in love with her.

I had never felt this way before.
