Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 18

Daniel's POV: 

I suffered from not being able to see Jennifer on the training ground for three days.

On one hand, I wanted to see her; on the other hand, I worried that something bad had happened to her.

After today's training, on my way back to the dormitory, I came across Barbara, the she-wolf who often picked on Jennifer.

She was walking with a group of she-wolves, slandering Jennifer as usual.

"Oh my God! How injured did she get to rest for three days?"

"I think her injury was just an excuse.Jennifer must have tried every means to seduce the prince so that he would give her days off.Haven't you noticed? Prince Anthony always seems to take her side."

Their words were harsh, but I knew Jennifer well.She was not the kind of werewolf they were claiming her to be.

I wanted to warn them against slandering others.

But after hearing that Jennifer was injured, I wanted to go to see her first.

I asked the dorm manager for Jennifer's room number, and then I dropped by my room to find some medicine, which I had prepared beforehand.

I didn’t know what medicine she needed so I brought all of them with me.

I then went to Jennifer's room.Her injury was more serious than I had thought.

When I arrived, she struggled to get out of bed.She hopped on one foot like a one- legged sprite.

"Let me help you." I put the medicine down so I could assist her.

"Thank you." Her bright smile reminded me of sunflowers in the rain—slightly wilted but still standing upright.

She put one hand on my arm and let me help her transfer to a chair.

Although Jennifer always performed well during the hand-to-hand combat portion of the training, she was actually really delicate.

She seemed so fragile now that she was injured—the complete opposite of how she was on the training ground.

"By the way, I brought you some medicine." I gestured toward the medicine that I had placed on her desk.

She smiled at me and replied, "Thank you, but I already have some."

Hearing this stopped me in my tracks.

Jennifer couldn't have gone out because she was badly injured.

Who had bought her medicine? Was it her friend, Skylar? 

"Let me help you apply it then." I picked up a bottle and was about to set on this task.

However, just when I crouched down, someone knocked on the door.

I told Jennifer, "I'll get it."

I walked over to the door and opened it.

I was stunned to see Prince Anthony standing on the other side.

Why was he here? Had those she-wolves been speaking the truth? That was impossible.

Jennifer was not just beautiful, she was also the most excellent and kindest she-wolf that I have ever seen.

She was also my friend.

I decided that Anthony was just here to check on an injured trainee.

I saluted him respectfully.

"Mr.Jones." Anthony coldly glanced at me before directing his gaze to the medicine in my hand.

He stared at it for so long that my scalp tingled.

"Mr.Jones, are you here to talk to Jennifer?" I asked, biting the bullet.

He ignored my question and looked around the room.

"Leave us.And take your medicine with you," he casually remarked.

"Yes, Mr.Jones."

Everyone was expected to treat him with respect, and I was no exception.
