Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 19

Barbara's POV: 

Rumors about Jennifer had spread like wildfire among the trainees.

I was very satisfied with this outcome.

It just so happened that a lot of the she-wolves liked the prince.

They couldn't tolerate even the mere idea of Jennifer seducing him.

When they started passing around how Jennifer was a shameless bitch, I was pleased.

I couldn't help humming as I headed to the training ground.

Today was the happiest day for me since I came to this place.

I hoped that every day would be like today from now on.

Jennifer was just a lowly slave.

She should keep living in the mud, forever trampled underfoot by people like me.

Then, maybe she would beg for mercy and expect me to grant her a little bit of kindness.

That was the kind of life that bitch deserved.I did a great thing.

Slaves were always going to be slaves.

She shouldn't have dreamed of competing with me.

If Jennifer begged me to let her be my slave for the rest of her life, I would stop picking on her.

Otherwise, I just needed wait for her reputation to be ruined.

No one would want to marry her, and she would be detested by everyone.

"Barbara Lively."

Through the haze of my excitement, I heard someone call my name from behind me.

I turned around and saw Neil.

He looked very serious, and his eyes were filled with obvious disgust.

I got a bad feeling, and my smile faltered.

"What's the matter?" I asked with a controlled expression.

"Prince Anthony wants you to meet with him." My heart trembled in fear.

Why did Anthony want to see me? My first guess was that it was because of the rumors that I had spread.I thought that Anthony would ignore such trifles.

Was I wrong? No, maybe he wanted to meet me for some other reason. I tried to convince myself of this.

"Okay.I'll go see him right now." Neil took me to the center of the training ground where Anthony was.

Today's training had yet to start, but all the other trainees were there, and they were all looking at me.

Carson stood behind Anthony.

As soon as I arrived, he sharply declared, "Barbara Lively, pack up and leave Marge Island."

What?! I felt like I had just been struck by lightning and my world was crumbling into pieces.

"Why? Why are you making me leave?"

"Because you dared to slander Mr.Jones and your fellow trainee, Jennifer Smith!"Carson glared at me.

My jaw dropped in shock.They found out! "It wasn't me.It was the other she-wolves!"

In an effort to save myself, I threw the blame at their feet.

"Don't even bother.Mr.Jones wouldn't have made such a charge against you without sufficient evidence to back it up," Carson coldly replied.

I became so flustered that I didn't know what to do.

What should I do? It was true that I had muddied Anthony's name alongside that bitch.

If he was mad about that, he wasn't going to let me get away scot-free.

At that moment, I saw Kevin.

I wanted to ask him to defend me, but he immediately shrank back into the crowd.I felt helpless.No, I couldn't leave! If I left, Jennifer would become even smuggler.

She might seduce Kevin without any qualms and take away my future position as his Luna.

I could not allow that to happen.

"It's true! Jennifer has seduced Prince Anthony! Why else would he be partial to her? They must be having an affair! Mr.Jones clearly cannot distinguish between public and private interests!" I yelled out hysterically.

Since I had already offended him, there was no point in trying to save the situation.

"Did I hear wrong? How could she say that about Mr.Jones?"
