Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 76

Jennifer's POV: 

I hadn't expected to meet Arthur in such a dramatic way.What shocked me even more was that Ella dared to show up too.She was so bold.

Fury built up within me as I watched Arthur distort the story of the past and stir up trouble at the banquet.

At that moment, I was so angry that I wished I could rush over and tear up his hypocritical mask.

I really wanted to tell everyone that he was the traitor of the Rainbow Pack, and that he had stabbed my father, the previous Alpha of the pack, in the back, but I couldn't.

As long as I had no evidence to prove his evil deeds, I had to bite my tongue.

However, hearing Ella and Arthur proclaim that I was a jinx made me falter a little.

They looked so sure about their words.

Could it be the truth? Had my father and mother died because of me? No, that was impossible.

Their words were simply ridiculous.I didn't believe a word that they said.I made up my mind that no matter what lengths I had to go to, I would find out the truth of my parents’ death and expose Arthur's true colors.

It was only in this way that I could avenge my parents as well as prove my innocence.

Austin kept adding fuel to the fire.

It seemed that he wouldn't let this issue go easily.

That meant that I could only be with Anthony if I could prove that I was not a jinx.

Otherwise, I would never be able to marry the love of my life.

But how could I prove my innocence? After pondering over it for a while, I realized that there was only one way.

I had to find the elder of the Rainbow Pack who had the gift of prophecy, and ask him about the truth.

"Mr.Jones, how do you want me to prove my innocence?" I asked Austin coldly, gritting my teeth.

"Miss Smith, aren't you the strongest of the trainees? With your skill, it shouldn't be difficult to uncover the truth, right?" Austin flashed me a thinly-veiled smile of mockery.

"I'll wait for your good news."

How annoying could he get? This evil bastard did everything he could to make things difficult for me.

Just as I was about to lose my temper at him, Austin continued, "Miss Smith, I have a suggestion.How about you go back to the Rainbow Pack and find the werewolves who know the truth? They might be able to prove your innocence.Of course, if it turns out that you are really a jinx, please be sensible enough to leave Anthony on your own.As long as you are not a jinx, you can rest assured that I will not try to separate you and Anthony.On the contrary, I will personally apologize to you and bless you and Anthony forever.What do you think?"

I clenched my fists to suppress the rage that roared inside of me.Austin was no philanthropist.

He wouldn't be generous enough to help me with a suggestion, let alone offer to apologize.

Since he was asking me to go back to the Rainbow Pack, it was likely that there was a trap waiting for me there.

But at the moment, I couldn't think of any other alternative.

If I wanted to prove my innocence, I could do nothing but go back to the Rainbow Pack to look for clues so that I could get to the bottom of the matter.

In order to solve all the problems and be with Anthony, I decided to bite the bullet and go back to the Rainbow Pack.

Looking at the annoying smirk on Austin's face, I grudgingly agreed to his suggestion.

"Mr.Jones, I'll go and personally investigate the matter.Please give me some time.I will find out the truth as soon as possible and prove to everyone that I am qualified to be Anthony's mate."

"Very good, Miss Smith.How admirable of you."

Austin nodded approvingly, but there was sarcasm hidden in his words.

"We'll be waiting with great expectations."

"Jennifer, there must be some other way.You don't have to risk going back there," Anthony interjected, grabbing my hand.

"I'll talk to Austin.Just stay here with me."

I knew how worried Anthony must be about me.He always put my safety first.

However, I had to go back to the Rainbow Pack sooner or later, not only for myself, but also for my parents.

Back when I was in the Dark River Pack, returning to the Rainbow Pack to find out the truth had been my main goal.

The time had finally come for me to fulfil it.

"Anthony, please trust me. I won't put myself in danger, “ I promised in a soft voice, interlocking my fingers with Anthony's.

"Only when I return to the Rainbow Pack can I find out the truth."
