Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 133

Jerome's POV: 

My sister and were finally at ease because Arthur got what he deserved.

I spent the next few days preparing to take on the role of Alpha.

With the help of several elders, I became ready to deal with the pack's affairs.

"You are a capable werewolf, Jerome.You have the abilities to govern the Rainbow Pack.Soon, you will be able to take charge of everything by yourself."

Simon's look of admiration made me feel validated.

He was mainly responsible for helping me become familiar with the pack's affairs as quickly as possible.

He was now my right-hand man, just like he was for my father back then.

"Thank you, Simon.I would not be able to learn everything this fast without your help."

I turned to the other side of the room.

"Thank you for your help these past few days, elders.I was able to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Rainbow Pack in such a short time."

I bowed respectfully in the elders’ direction.

Their eyes welled up with tears after they heard me thank them.

"You are a good man and will be an even greater leader.Your father would have been proud to see the man you've become."

It was not going to be an easy task to rule a pack.

Now and in the future, the Rainbow Pack could only prosper if I could work together like this with the elders.

The first item on my agenda was to gain their approval.

They all praised me as the heir of the Alpha they used to serve and love.

After all, I was modest, polite, and I knew to give credit where it was due.

I could tell that they all thought highly of me.

It felt great to finally live up to my father's expectations.

I was confident that I could govern the Rainbow Pack well.

Three days passed quickly.

Today was the day Arthur was set to be executed.

We went to the execution ground to watch.

The area became filled with werewolves who wanted to witness Arthur's death for themselves.

Arthur was tied to the elevated stage, but he looked far from regretful.

"Today is your last day, tyrant.You shall pay for what you have done."

"Tyrant!"

The werewolves of the Rainbow Pack vented their anger out on Arthur after having been suppressed by his dictatorship for so many years.

Some even threw rotten vegetables and eggs at him.

I raised a hand, alerting the executioner to prepare to shoot Arthur.

Before he was about to get shot, Arthur looked at my sister and me in despair.

After all, very few people did not fear their own death, and Arthur was not one of them.

"Jennifer, I was wrong.I'm really sorry.Please forgive me.I'll gladly let you rule the Rainbow Pack.As long as you spare my life, I promise to never appear before you again."

Arthur looked like he was going to cry as he desperately begged for our forgiveness.

Did he really think he could escape his fate? How dare he beg us to forgive him? He must have thought we would be too soft-hearted and let him go.

Where did he get the courage to beg? It was only because of our mercy that he wasn't being torn to pieces.

"Arthur, did you even stop and think before killing my father? You didn't even think about letting my father go, but now, you want us to let you go.Do you think that is fair?"

Jennifer angrily roared at him.She could have exploded in her fury.

"Fire," I ordered the executioner.

Arthur was killed in a single gunshot.

His dead body was later carried off the platform.
