Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 96

Jennifer's POV: 

"Why hasn't Anthony replied to any of my messages recently? I feel very uneasy.The sooner we find out the truth here, the sooner we can go back and see if he's okay.I tried calling him again this morning, but he didn't pick up," I told Eva worriedly.

There was no news from Anthony at all, and I had no way of contacting him.

I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

Although I didn't show it on the surface in front of others, I was really worried about Anthony.

I was afraid that the reason he hadn't replied to my texts or answered my calls was because something bad happened to him.

"Jennifer, you're probably thinking too much.Anthony was fine when we left.Maybe he's just too busy to look at his phone these days.Cheer up.As soon as we finish our task here, we can go back.Once you marry Anthony, you'll have plenty of time to be together with him," Eva comforted me.

At times like these, she was my source of strength.

"Eva, I hope you're right.Maybe I'm just worrying too much because I've never been separated from Anthony for so long before."

"Maybe.Jennifer, everything will be fine."

"Yes, it will.Well, let's get ready to go and meet Elder Simon,"

I told Eva before hurrying around the room and changing into new clothes.

Helen had arranged for us to meet her father, Simon, today.

Helen was a kind girl, and she had helped us a lot, so I had a feeling that her father was a kind werewolf too.

He was unlikely to side with someone like Arthur Wood.

But still, it was only after meeting Simon face to face that we could decide whether he was a friend or a foe.

To show our respect, we arrived at the cafe a little ahead of the appointed time.

About half an hour later, Helen walked into the private room, arm in arm with an old werewolf.

Despite his age, he was still brisk and energetic.

This must be Simon.

His gaze shifted around the room before settling on me.

As soon as he saw me, his eyes welled up with tears.

Based on his genuine reaction, I could tell that he was a good man.

When he took his seat at the table, I suddenly remembered seeing his face in my childhood.

He was one of the elders that my father had trusted most at that time.

At this moment, he wiped his tears and asked, "May I ask if you're Jennifer Smith, Alpha Lewis’ daughter?"

Since he recognized me and didn't seem to wish me any harm, there was no need for me to hide my identity from him.

I nodded and admitted frankly, "I remember you, Elder Simon.If my memory serves me well, you were a kind werewolf.You supported my father and were loyal to him.I don't believe that you would betray him."

Simon stood up abruptly.

It seemed that he hadn't expected the daughter of Alpha Lewis to be alive, let alone sitting in front of him.

Moreover, he seemed flattered to hear that I could trust him.

I hurriedly rose to my feet and held him.

"Please have a seat.Let's have a chat casually,"

I told him, helping him sit down again.

"Jennifer, I never thought I'd see you in my life again.Even if I die now, I won't have any regrets.I can't believe Lewis has a living descendant.I'm so glad," he said through choked sobs.

Looking at him teary-eyed like this, I couldn't help but feel sad as well.

After days of being back in my hometown, this was the first time I had seen someone I recognized.

Simon wiped his tears and said, "Ever since Arthur became the Alpha, the Rainbow Pack has been completely ruined.Jennifer, now that you're here, I hope that you can save the Rainbow Pack and lead us from now on.All the werewolves here are leading a miserable life."
