Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 347

Daniel's POV: 

Helen and I were sitting in the living room, watching news on TV.They were broadcasting the latest news on the conflict between werewolves and vampires.

The news anchor announced that King Anthony had decided to let Austin lead the army to the front line.

"Austin? When did they let him come back?" Helen gasped in surprise. 

I shook my head.

"I don't know, but I know Anthony must have a good reason."

"Daniel, if the war goes on like this, I'm worried that the Black Stone Pack will be involved sooner or later.I don't want you to go to war!"

Helen suddenly hugged me, her body trembling with fear.Just as I opened my mouth to comfort her, my phone started to ring.It was Anthony.I answered the phone in a hurry.

"Hey, Mr.Jones! What's up?"

"Hello, Daniel.I was calling to ask about your coronation ceremony.Your father passed away some time ago.Why haven't I heard any news from you? The situation is growing more and more chaotic with each day that passes.The Black Stone Pack needs an Alpha to take charge," Anthony said.

"Mr.Jones, I completely understand where you're coming from.But the vampires have been stirring trouble, so the other packs are busy.No one will be able to attend a coronation ceremony at this time, so I decided to delay the date of succession." Anthony paused to think for a while.

"You're right.It's true that the succession ceremony can't be held in such a tumultuous period of time, but the Black Stone Pack still needs an Alpha.How about this? I'll issue a notice to all the packs announcing that you've been given the title of Alpha.That way, you can deal with pack affairs and comfort the members of your pack.What do you think?"

I didn't expect Anthony to be so considerate.I nearly jumped with joy and exclaimed, "That's a great idea, Mr.Jones! Thank you for your understanding!"

"No need to thank me, Daniel.It's nothing," Anthony said gently.

"After we defeat vampires, you can hold a coronation ceremony.By then, Jennifer and I will attend it."

"Sounds like a plan.Thank you.Bye!"

When I hung up the phone, I turned to Helen, who was looking at me expectantly.

"Helen, Anthony is going to announce that he will give me the title of Alpha in advance.Then, after we defeat the vampires, we can hold the coronation ceremony."

"Oh, wow! Really? That's wonderful!" Helen clasped her hands happily.

"Anthony is so wise."

"And considerate.I didn't know he was still thinking of us, what with the vampire invasion and all.If it came to it, I wouldn't sit still and wait for death.I would've gone straight to the front line to support our troops."

"Daniel, don't! It's too dangerous!" Helen's eyes filled with dread.

"What would I do if something bad happened to you?"

I hugged Helen tightly and comforted her.

"Honey, don't go there.Nothing bad will happen to me.Besides, if we lose our home, where will we go?"

Helen bit her lower lip and nodded slowly.

"I suppose you're right, Daniel.I wasn't thinking straight.In that case, you should go.I'll support your decision."

I reached out to cup her cheek.I was deeply touched by Helen's understanding of me.What a reasonable wife I had! 

Anthony's POV:

 After dropping the call with Daniel, Jennifer looked at me searchingly.

"Well, what did he say?"Jennifer asked excitedly.

"Daniel said that since our situation is too chaotic as of late, he's been postponing the coronation ceremony, " I explained.

"But I decided to give him the Alpha title in advance so that he can participate in pack affairs and lead his pack already."

"Those vampires have gone too far.They've made a mess in our country and now our people are suffering!" Jennifer snorted indignantly.

I wrapped my arms around her and made her lie down in bed.

"I'll handle it.Don't worry.What you need to do now is take good care of the baby.Get some sleep, honey."

"Fine.Good night, Anthony."

Jennifer stuck out her tongue at me playfully.I chuckled and soon, the two of us fell into deep sleep.

All my dreams were good with Jennifer in my arms.

Early the next day, I got out of bed and rushed to work.
