Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 47

Skylar's POV:

I heard that Anna had been sent to the royal court to stand trial for what she had done.

I hoped she would get the punishment that she deserved and rot in prison.

What an awful she-wolf! How could she poison Jennifer? Fortunately, Jennifer was fine, or else, I would have fought Anna to death myself.

After Anna's dismissal, Jennifer and I found peace.

But that did not last long because, after a few days, another incident occurred on Marge Island.

Not too long ago, Prince Anthony and Jennifer had gone on a mission.

When they returned, they had brought back Sherman, the elder of the Wilson Clan.

Since then, Sherman had been imprisoned in Osman Kingdom's royal prison.

Now, the Wilson Clan wanted us to release Sherman.

They claimed to have caught some werewolves, and they wanted Sherman in exchange for their release.

The king agreed.

Anthony personally selected a few trainees and lycan attendants to go to the border of the Red Sun Pack's territory.

The exchange was set to happen there.

Our party was composed of two she-wolves and three werewolves from the trainees.

I had been selected along with another she-wolf named Ella.

Jennifer was the strongest trainee so I didn't understand why the prince decided to leave her out of this mission.

But since the prince had chosen me, I was determined to do my job well.

I didn't know Ella well, but I heard from Jennifer that she was a ruthless she-wolf who had attempted to hurt her over and over again.

I should be careful around her.

Before leaving Marge Island, I gave Jennifer a warm hug.

"Honey, wait for me to come back."

"I believe in you." Jennifer looked at me with concern.

"Be careful, okay?"

"I will." I grinned at her.

"It's rare for me to see the outside world so I'm very happy. It's too bad you won't be with me."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Jennifer replied with a gentle smile.

"For now, think of it as a solo practice.Keep in touch, Skylar."

I waved goodbye to Jennifer and then we boarded the plane that would take us to the Red Sun Pack.

The Red Sun Pack lived adjacent to the vampires’ territory so the border was a good place to exchange hostages.

According to the agreement, the two sides would meet at the forest that was along the border.

When we arrived at the destination, the representatives of the vampires appeared.

They were well-dressed and looked arrogantly as if we were not to be taken seriously.

"Where is Sherman? I am Hector, another elder of the Wilson Clan."

Hector stepped forward.

"Show us Sherman first, or else, you're not taking these werewolves back with you."

As soon as Hector finished speaking, the vampires accompanying him escorted more’ than ten werewolves to the front of their party.

All the werewolves looked disheveled as if they had struggled while being bound.

To add to the tension, the vampires pointed pistols at the werewolves’ heads.

"Hey, isn't that going too far?"

One of Anthony's attendants, a lycan named Walker, stepped forward with a serious expression to accuse the vampires.

"These werewolves are our captives.This is the kind of treatment they deserve."

Hector lifted his chin arrogantly.

"Where is Sherman? Show him to us!"

"You arrogant jerk!"

Walker wanted to pick a fight with the vampire elder.

But when he remembered the king's instructions, he forced himself to swallow down his ire.

The king had ordered us not to start a conflict with the vampires.

We had to get the captured werewolves back as civilly as possible.Because Hector wanted to see Sherman first, we decided to agree to his request after some discussion.

Walker and I took Sherman to Hector.

Sherman remained arrogant despite being handcuffed.
