Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 248

Anthony's POV: 

At five fifteen in the afternoon, Jennifer and I went to the prison to personally release Austin and Caroline.

Escorted by guards, Austin and Caroline followed us out of the prison in silence.

"Is everything ready?" Jennifer turned to me.

"My men have prepared a plane to fly them to the deserted island on the border.There, the guards can keep watch through satellite imagery.Unmanned aerial vehicles will drop supplies onto the island on a weekly basis," I replied as we walked.

The truth was, Austin and Caroline didn't deserve those supplies, given the gravity of their crimes.

We had originally sentenced them to a life of exile on the deserted island, where they were to fend for themselves.

However, now that they had shown deep regret for their actions, both my mother and I couldn't bear to give them such a harsh punishment.

My mother and I had held lengthy discussions on numerous occasions before finally deciding to send them supplies on a regular basis.

When we made it out of the prison, we found my mother outside waiting for us, along with Dana and Gary.

Before Austin and Caroline could leave for the island, there was one more thing Austin needed to do.

He had to apologize to our deceased father in front of all the kingdom's subjects.

"Well done, Anthony.This chapter of our lives is finally coming to a close."

My mother sighed and patted me on the shoulder encouragingly.

Soon, Austin and Caroline were handcuffed and the guards led them to the capital square.

A crowd had already gathered there, waiting.

When Austin was in sight, they immediately burst into curses.

Despite this, Austin didn't show any resentment on his face.He simply knelt down in the center of the square and repented in front of them.

"I have committed unforgivable crimes.I killed the former king.I deserve to die.Alas, I will spend the rest of my life repenting!"

Austin shouted loudly for everyone to hear.

"He killed our king!"

"Damn him! He doesn't deserve forgiveness!"

As soon as Austin finished speaking, the members of the kingdom began to scold him fiercely.

"Our late king would have been relieved to see this, I think."

Dana, who was standing beside me, sighed heavily.

Gary also sighed and drew a cross on his chest with his fingers, offering a prayer for my father.

As the crowd booed and jeered, the guards took Austin and led him and Caroline away.

Jennifer, my mother and I followed them to the tarmac.

Before they got on the plane, my mother took Caroline's child from a maid and held her in front of her mother.

"Caroline, you must reflect on your actions on the island.When the child is old enough, I'll take her to see you."

As my mother spoke, she looked lovingly at the healthy baby in her arms.

This was another matter we had discussed in length.

In the end, we had finally decided to let my mother raise Caroline's child.

After all, the child was innocent.

She didn't deserve to suffer on a deserted island with her parents.

It seemed like the best choice to leave the child to my mother.

Her maids would take good care of the child, and my mother would love her as though she was her own.

"Thank you, Mom.Anthony, Jennifer, please take good care of my child!"

Caroline said in a shaky voice, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Naturally, she was reluctant to be separated from her child, but even she knew it was for the best.

"It's okay, honey.Don't cry.Mrs.Jones will take good care of our baby,"

Austin whispered as he wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Caroline.Jennifer and I will take good care of your child," I vowed.

"Thank you, Anthony." Austin nodded at me.

Alas, time was up.

Austin and Caroline boarded the plane.

They turned to look at us one more time before the plane took off.

Jennifer and I watched until the plane was out of our sight.

Then we said goodbye to my mother and prepared to leave for the Black Stone Pack.
