Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 290

Carl's POV: 

I stared at the queen in a daze.

Her delicate facial features awakened my memories.

She was as beautiful as I remembered.

Several days ago, when I received the wedding invitation from the royal family, I was shocked to see the photo of the would-be queen on it.

She looked so familiar.

Wasn't she my childhood playmate, Jennifer? Who would've thought that, not long after I became an Alpha, my old friend Jennifer would become a queen? I couldn't I actually had the opportunity to see her again.

But I was not sure if Jennifer still remembered me.

After all, we hadn't seen each other in years.

Despite my doubts, I decided to attend the ceremony.

Those innocent days in our childhood were so wonderful and unforgettable! Even though years had passed since then, I had never forgotten Jennifer.

I had even tried to get any information about her after I became Alpha.I had wanted to see her again.I wanted to know how she was doing.

Little did I know that her coronation ceremony was where we would meet again! My eyes were fixed on Jennifer, as though I was in a trance.

She looked back at me, and I couldn't help but smile at her.She looked very surprised to see me, with her eyes as wide as saucers.

Oh, my God! Did Jennifer recognize me? It looked like it.

After all, her eyes flickered with recognition.

Why else would she be so surprised to see me? Thinking about this, I got excited as old memories rushed to my mind.

When I was a child, my father was the Alpha of our pack and I lived a carefree life.

Sadly, the good times didn't last long.

The year I turned five years old, our pack was attacked and our territory was invaded.

My parents were captured and tortured to death.

I only managed to escape thanks to the protection of my servants, but I had almost gone rogue.

If it weren't for my father's best friend who adopted me when I was young, I probably wouldn't have survived.

I came to live with my adoptive parents, who were werewolves of the Rainbow Pack.

That was where I met Jennifer.

She was the daughter of the Rainbow Pack's Alpha, but she never put on airs in front of me.

I admired her very much and enjoyed playing with her.

But a little while later, my adoptive parents moved to another pack in order to protect me, so I lost contact with Jennifer.

Since then, I had never seen her.

When I was old enough, I took back the pack and territory that originally belonged to my father.

Now, it was called the White Lily Pack.

It was a long and arduous process, and in those years, I never had the time to rest, let alone find a mate.

When we finally regained the pack, I busied myself with government affairs.

Years had passed.

Times had changes.

But seeing Jennifer again, I suddenly felt like a child again.

It was though she hadn't changed; she was still the kind little girl I was so fond of.

"Mr.Jones, please allow me to give a toast to you and Mrs.Jones.I wish you and the queen happiness forever!"

I walked up to Anthony and Jennifer and raised my glass.

"Thank you.I wish the White Lily Pack would grow more and more prosperous each day as well,"

Anthony replied with a faint smile.

He clinked glasses with me, and then Jennifer also clinked glasses with me.

When our eyes met, I could tell that she was happy to see me.My heart leapt with joy.

It seemed that she really recognized me! But I knew it was not a good time to talk about the good old days with her now.

After the toast, I melted with the crowd and watched as Jennifer and Anthony walked away, hand in hand.

I sighed.
