Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 23

Anthony's POV: 

On the training ground, shouts could be heard one after another.

As I stood aside and watched the trainees practice, I suddenly felt very irritable.

I had been feeling this way for the past several days.

I often became absent -minded for no reason.

Neil was chatting with someone by his side.

I wasn't in the mood to stay any longer, so I turned to leave.

"Was he absent every night?"

"Half the time.Some nights, he would come back, but very late, and sometimes, he wouldn't return to the dormitory at night at all."

"I didn't expect Daniel to be so disobedient! I'll ask him about it later."

When I heard Daniel's name, I stopped in my tracks.

I knew that Daniel had always been close to Jennifer.

The two of them had complained about me to each other.

And once, when Jennifer's leg was injured, Daniel went to see her with medicine.

But why wasn’t he returning to the dormitory at night these days? Later that day, my mother came to see me.

I knew that she had gone to visit Jennifer.

Since my mother was in poor health, I had advised her to come back early, and she had agreed.

But now, after the visit, she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"You brat!"she snapped as soon as she saw me.

"Jennifer is going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.You haven't gone to the hospital to see her even once.What the hell is going on in that head of yours? Is something wrong between you and Jennifer?"

"It's nothing like that.Don’t worry too much.The most important thing for you is to take good care of your own health," I said, trying to sound assuring.

However, she continued to glare at me, utterly unconvinced.

"If there was nothing wrong, then why would Daniel come to the hospital to visit her? At this rate, he'll snatch your mate away in no time! Aren't you worried?"

Daniel? At the hospital? I had been hearing his name too many times today.

"You mean Daniel came to the hospital to take care of Jennifer?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes.And it seems that he has been going there every evening to take care of Jennifer, after finishing his training in the daytime.And unlike you, he manages to make time for both! Are you really too busy to visit your mate who is hospitalized?" my mother snapped.

But I could barely hear her words.

All I could think about was the reason that Daniel hadn't been going back to his dormitory at night these days; it turned out that he was out all night taking care of my mate.

So, a male and a female had been spending almost every night together for the past few days.

How would the two of them get along while they were all alone? Would they fall in love with each other as time went by? I dared not think further.

Disappointed with my silence, my mother added, "Anyway, you better pick Jennifer up from the hospital tomorrow when she's charged.If you can't do that, don't call me your mother anymore."

After saying that, she stormed off without giving me a chance to refute.I couldn't argue with her threat even I wanted to.

After all, I couldn't tell her that Jennifer and I had never really accepted each other as mates.

I rubbed my forehead and let out an exasperated sigh.

It was getting dark outside, but I couldn't fall asleep at all.

All I could think about was that Jennifer and Daniel must be together right now.

Jennifer was very beautiful.

When her bright eyes blinked, it was as if an addictive drug was hidden within them.

She had a perfect figure, with great curves.

She was attractive from head to toe.

No normal man would be able to resist her.

They would probably even die for the chance to have sex with her.

In fact, that was why I always restrained myself from touching her.

That night, after I finally dozed off, I had a nightmare where Daniel did all kinds of things to Jennifer that I didn't even dare to think about.

I was so angry that I wanted to teach that bastard a good lesson, but Jennifer stopped me and told me that she had fallen in love with Daniel.

When I suddenly jerked awake from the nightmare, I was covered in sweat.
