Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 27

Jennifer's POV:

Oh my God! How could Prince Anthony stand behind me to shield me from the bullet? Didn't he know that it was a silver bullet? Didn't he understand the damage that a silver bullet would do to a werewolf? Once hit by it, a werewolf was likely to die on the spot.

"Mr.Jones, are you okay?"

Seeing the wound on his arm made me inhale sharply, and my hands reached out in a hurry to hold him.

"You are bleeding."

If he had gotten shot by an ordinary bullet, his injury wouldn't have been this serious.

For werewolves, silver bullets could do deadly damage.

Anthony's drained of color, and he fell into my arms.

When he saw that I was fine, his lips curved up into a small smile.

"It's good that you are fine."

After uttering these words in a shaky, barely audible voice, he fainted.

My eyes turned red and my heart ached.

I choked with sobs.

The vampires who were about to retreat surrounded us again after seeing that Anthony was injured.

They held their pistols and stared at us coldly, waiting for the opportunity to kill both of us.

In the face-off, a bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, followed by the rumble of thunder.

The next moment, heavy rain poured down from the heavens.

I had to protect Anthony, so I couldn't turn into the form of a wolf now.

Holding Anthony with one arm and a pistol in my other, I stood in the rain facing a group of vicious vampires.

As if making up their minds at the same time, those vampires charged forward in unison.

Their eyes shone with a murderous glint.

I tried my best to keep calm.

Holding Anthony tightly to make sure that he didn't fall, I desperately pulled the trigger of the pistol, shooting bullet after bullet at the onslaught of vampires.

They grimaced and fell to the ground one by one.

I roared wildly in the rain as I shot at them, ignoring the blood splattering violently on me.

Since they had dared to hurt the prince, I would let them pay the price.

This single thought filled my mind, making me go berserk and fight ruthlessly with my enemies.

I didn't know if I looked more like a devil from hell, or a lunatic desperately hanging on for dear life.

But after a while, the fierce battle finally came to an end.

I had single-handedly taken down all the vampires, but my whole body was drenched with blood.

My shoulders heaved up and down as I tried to catch my breath.

I looked at the corpses lying all over the ground and sneered.

Then, I turned around and left with Anthony.

Since he was unconscious, I had to carry him on my back as I traveled through the forest, albeit with much difficulty.

The rain was still pouring down with great intensity.

I had to find some shelter for us as soon as possible and check his injury first.

With every step I took, I left a deep footprint in the muddy ground.

Walking amidst with the rain with a full-grown male on my back was such a struggle that veins stood out on my forehead, and I had to grit my teeth.

After a long walk, I finally stumbled upon a cave.

I knew that there might be more vampires lurking nearby, so the cave was a good place to take shelter in.

At least I could temporarily avoid danger in here.

After carrying the prince into the cave, I set him down on a slate.

The cave was neither too big nor too small.

It was just big enough for the two of us to hide in.

The ground was covered with weeds, and the raised slate was the only place that was clean.

Anthony was lying on the slate in wet clothes, and his handsome face was stained with blood.

"I'm sorry, Mr.Jones,"

I murmured as I began to take his clothes off.

"This is the only way I can prevent your condition from getting worse."

Since he was injured, it was all the more dangerous for him to continue wearing these wet clothes.

If he fell sick, his injury might worsen as well.

I quickly took off all his clothes, including his underwear.

Then I tore the driest part of his clothes and wrapped his wound with it.

After that, I found some withered branches from nearby and started a small fire in the cave.

The temperature in the cave rose gradually.

In the dim glow of the fire, I could clearly see Anthony's naked body.

His physique was so well-maintained that there was not an ounce of extra fat on his body.

His wheat-colored skin shone attractively in the dim light, and his chest and abdomen muscles looked like they had been carved from stone.

When my eyes wandered downward, I saw something that made me let out a gasp.

It was so big! Startled, I quickly tore my gaze away.

My heart was pounding hard against my chest.

"Mr.Jones, do you feel uncomfortable?"

I asked worriedly, touching his forehead.His forehead was practically burning.He must have a fever.
