Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 16

Jennifer's POV: 

Taking revenge on Barbara made me feel better.I no longer felt depressed.That night, I finally had a good night's rest.

Early the next morning, I headed straight to the training ground.I thought I'd get there first, but someone arrived even earlier than me.

Anthony's lone figure was standing on the training ground.

The sun's first few rays of light illuminated his silhouette, granting him a long, slender shadow.

He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he was exceptionally tall.

No wondered he attracted so many she-wolves.

I shook my head in secret, banishing those nasty thoughts from my head.

I couldn't afford to fantasize like this.

As the sun climbed in the sky, more and more werewolves came to the training ground.

I greeted Anthony softly and then joined the team.

When all the trainees were standing in line, Anthony walked over.

Carson cleared his throat to announce this morning's task.

"In order to assess the results of your training, we have hidden fifty number plates in the depths of the jungle.Your task today is to find these plates.If you manage to find a plate, you can take tomorrow off.If not, you'll receive double the training.The number plates each hold a rank.For example, whoever finds No.1 will be ranked first place in the task, whereas whoever finds No.50 will hold the 50th place."

Everyone broke into an uproar.

There were about one hundred trainees in total, but there were only fifty plates, which meant that only half of us would find the plates, at most.

Carson held up his hand to silence the trainees, then gave the order.

Everyone began to run into the dense jungle.

The jungle was full of lush trees and climbing plants.

Birds gathered in the depths of the jungle and let out screeching sounds.

The nature of werewolves was released.

Everyone cheered and jumped, and soon dispersed.

I soon found myself alone.I climbed an exceptionally dense tree in the jungle and spotted a shiny plate.

But when I saw the number on the plate, my heart sank.

No.50. I wanted No.1.

I wanted to get first place.I put it back to its original place and jumped off the tree.

I didn't roam around in that area any longer, because No.1 wouldn't show up at the same place where No.50 appeared.

The deeper I ventured into the jungle, the more difficult the terrain became.

The cries of birds and beasts gradually disappeared, and the surroundings grew terribly quiet.

I searched high and low until I finally caught a glimpse of the No.1 plate.

But just as I picked it up, a hand suddenly reached out from nowhere and snatched it from me.

"Thank you, but this is mine."

Barbara held the plate up triumphantly.

Fuck! I really wanted to curse.

How did she get here? She was clumsy and good for nothing except making trouble.

She didn't deserve the No.1 plate, and I wasn't about to let her get away with it.

I pounced on her, but this only managed to knock the plate out of her hand.

I watched as the plate arced in the air and landed in someone's hand.

Kevin? Damn it! Of course Kevin was here; that'd explain how Barbara managed to make it this far.

The scumbag and the bitch— a perfect match.Just my luck.

"Jennifer." Kevin's eyes lit up.

He sauntered over to me and exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"

I pursed my lips unhappily.

"Really? Why do I highly doubt that?" Kevin paused in his tracks for a moment.

But soon he put on a smile which he thought was charming and handed me the plate."Jennifer, I saw you pick up the plate first. It's rightfully yours."

Kevin spoke with a somewhat self-righteous tone.

"Kevin, what the hell are you doing?"

Barbara was pissed off, but she didn't dare to grab the plate from Kevin.
