Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 20

Jennifer's POV: 

This she-wolf was the most eye-catching among the new batch of trainees.She was wearing the training uniform.

Her wine red hair danced with the wind, and her face looked even more beautiful because of her smile.Everyone looked at her in amazement as she introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Ella Wood."

When she caught sight of me, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

I felt cold all over as if I had been trapped in an ice cave.

Ella Wood was a name that I never wanted to hear for the rest of my life.

I had a deep hatred for her family.

Ella was the daughter of Arthur Wood.

Arthur Wood used to be my father's Beta.

Together with a bunch of traitors, he rebelled against my father, killed him, and then took the position of Alpha.

He also forced me and my older brother to leave our pack.

We got separated halfway, and I still have no idea where he was.

Now Arthur Wood's daughter, who used to be my good friend, stood before me for the first time since her father took away my father's position as Alpha.

The situation was ridiculous.

I used to treat Ella as my best friend, but I could never forget the smug look on her face while I was hunted down.

Ella had always been jealous of me for being the daughter of the Alpha.

She could not accept that she was the daughter of the Beta.

However, before Arthur Wood carried out his dastardly plan, she pretended to be on good terms with me.

It was not until her father killed mine that she finally revealed her true colors.She helped her father hunt me down.

Ella must be surprised to see that I wasn't dead.We stood there, just looking at each other.

When our eyes met, an invisible storm brewed between us.Ella's appearance aroused my hatred.

Her existence reminded me that I still had a deep-seated grudge.

But I had nowhere to vent my anger and pain.

I couldn't take revenge on her here nor could I tell anyone what had happened between us.

I could only keep everything to myself.

Because the new trainees had a different program than we did, I didn't have any interactions with Ella.

She didn't approach me nor did she give any indication that she knew me.

A few days later, the drillmaster ordered the new trainees and the old ones to explore the jungle together.

I have been listless the past few days, but I decided to cheer up and focus on the task at hand so I could leave the jungle as soon as possible.

It was so quiet in the jungle, and the silence made me drop my guard.

Out of nowhere, I heard someone shouting for help some distance ahead of me.

Was there a trainee who was in danger? I rushed in the direction of the voice.

I hadn't been running long when I stepped on a withered branch and the ground gave way beneath my feet.

"Argh!" My body dropped sharply.

I reached out for something to hold onto, but I failed to grab anything and I fell to the bottom of the trap.

My bones cracked and pain shot through every part of my body.

I had fallen into a very deep pit with sharp sticks at the bottom.

Several of them went through my body, leaving me immobile.

Aside from the pain I felt, I smelled my own blood.
