Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 298

Jennifer's POV: 

We left the garden and walked Elizabeth back to her room.

As soon as we came to her bedroom door, she patted Anthony's hand and said, "Anthony, I think you're being paranoid for no reason.Carl and Jennifer were playmates when they were children.You didn't have to talk like that to him.You made a mountain out of a molehill."

Anthony shook his head firmly and said, "Mom, I know what I saw.The way Carl looked at Jennifer was clear to see that he had feelings for her.I just had to remind him that she was spoken for."

I didn't know that my childhood playmate could give Anthony such a sense of crisis.I covered my mouth to stifle a snicker.

In my eyes, Anthony was cute when he was jealousy and possessiveness.

He cared about me, after all.

I pulled Anthony's arm with a smile and said, "Don't be like that, Anthony! Carl was just trying to catch up on old times.After all, we've known each other since we were kids.Why is it inappropriate to talk with a friend you haven't seen in many years?"

Anthony sighed helplessly and said, "Anyway, I want him to go back to his pack as soon as possible."

I pouted my lips at Anthony like a spoiled child and said, "Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy.But, Anthony, I would really like to sit down somewhere nice and reminisce about my childhood with Carl.Why don't we have dinner with him before he leaves?"

Anthony frowned.

Seeing his reaction, I quickly added, "I want you to come with me, so you can get to know him as well.Besides, I'm the queen.No one would dare to mistreat me."

I looked at Anthony with puppy-dog eyes and after a brief moment of silence and awkward fidgeting, Anthony finally gave in.

"Fine.Honey, if that's what you want, then that's what you'll get.But, I will be there with you."

Anthony looked at me sternly.

"I'll call Carl and make plans for another day.We can have dinner nearby."

"Anthony, you are so good to me!"

I felt content, seeing that the matter had been resolved.I sat next to Elizabeth and poured her a glass of juice.

Elizabeth smiled at me and turned to Anthony.

"Anthony, how has the attitude of the elders been since you took the throne? Has anyone shown any signs of dissent?"

"Don't worry, Mom.All the elders have shown nothing but loyalty to me," Anthony replied, sitting next to me.

"Only Eric seems like he still needs a little convincing, but I can handle him.He tries to make things difficult for me, but he's not that bad."

Elizabeth frowned and said, "Why is he so annoying? What on earth does he want from you?"

Eric had voiced his disagreement towards Anthony becoming the new king on multiple occasions ever since Austin got overthrown.

I expected no less from one of Austin's confidants.

"Don't worry, Mom.I'm slowly going to flush him out of the council and strip him of his powers," Anthony replied calmly.

Eric wasn't worthy to be considered a foe.

The bigger problem at hand right now was Larry.

"Anthony, Larry didn't make a move on our wedding, which makes me wonder if he's afraid of us.However, I won't be surprised if he shows up out of nowhere and starts making trouble again," I said with a look of concern.

Anthony held my hand tightly and replied, "I've asked Roy to contact his wizard friends.They will be here soon.In fact, I'll have a meeting with them in the afternoon to discuss how to deal with Larry."

"That's good.The more people we have on our side, the better."

Anthony, Elizabeth, and I talked about Larry and the possibility of having to confront him in a fight.

But before we could talk much, Amelia and Morgan were suddenly led to us by a maid.

As soon as Morgan saw us, he said anxiously, "Mr.Jones, I've got some bad news! Larry is wreaking havoc again!"

Amelia's POV: 

I finally breathed a sigh of relief only after I saw Anthony and Jennifer.

The thoughts of what happened last night gave me shivers.

Last night, Morgan and I had to go back to our room right after the ceremony because I wasn't feeling well.I went to bed early as I usually did because of my poor health.

The maids knew my schedule, so they never disturbed me at night.

However, last night, after I freshened up and lied down on the bed, a magic carrier pigeon appeared outside the window.

Needless to say, I was quite surprised.

Who would write to me? Taken by curiosity, I let the pigeon in and untied the envelope it was carrying.

The moment I opened the envelope, a stack of photos fell out.

My eyes widened in stunned disbelief and a scream escaped my mouth when I saw the photos.

They were nude photos of me.
