Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Mandy’s POV:

These days in prison, I had been especially restless.

But Devin had come to see me one day, and he had spoken so confidently, so I decided to trust in him.I had to keep

the secret and insist that it was Helen who poisoned Marlon.

But this noon, I was violently woken up by several guards who dragged me out.I was dazed and confused, struggling

against them desperately, but it was futile.I had no choice but to follow them to the Black Stone House.

“Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me! I’m not the murderer! I’m innocent!”

Scared to death that they were taking me to the executioner, I shouted like mad until I was brought to the hall.

There, I saw many unfamiliar faces.Did something bad happen? Who were these strangers?

“Hello, Mandy.”

The she-wolf sitting in the center of the hall suddenly spoke up.

She pointed at a handsome man next to her and said, “This is Prince Anthony, the future king, and I’m Jennifer, his

mate.We caught word that Helen was the prime suspect in Alpha Marlon’s murder.Bearing all of that in mind, I have

something to ask her.”

My jaw nearly dropped at the mention of the prince’s name.What on earth was the prince doing here? Could he be

here on Helen’s behalf?

“I’m Jerome, the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack, and this is my Luna, Skylar.We’re all friends of Helen.”

Another handsome werewolf spoke up.

Then, he pointed at the old man beside him and said, “This is Elder Simon, Helen’s father.”

I was absolutely floored.

What the hell? How could Heten have so many friends in high places? And even the future king knew her! How was

this possible? I gritted my teeth, seething with jealousy.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr.Jones.My name is Mandy.”

I managed to swallow my jealousy for the meantime and bowed towards the prince and his future queen.I needed

to look humble and respectful, hoping they wouldn’t make things difficult for me.

“Have you seen this bottle of perfume before? Please tell us the truth, Mandy.Anthony has many wizard friends who

know how to detect lies.If you dare lie to us, we will find out sooner or later.Anthony and I never show mercy to

liars.I hope you’ll do the right thing.”

Jennifer held up the bottle of perfume in front of me.

I gulped anxiously.

Anthony knew wizards? And these wizards knew how to detect lies? Shit! I was doomed! What on earth was I

supposed to do? Should I tell the truth now? But if I told the truth, I would still get into huge trouble.

“I…don’t know.Please don’t ask me…”

I stammered, clearly not knowing how to answer.

“Ahem.”

Just then, I heard Devin loudly clear his throat.

Devin had reassured me that he would solve everything.

But he also said that if I slipped, he too would die alongside me.

Thinking about this, I was left with no choice but to trust in Devin.

“I…have never seen this bottle of perfume before in my life!” I said hurriedly.

“If you say so.Mandy, what’s your relationship with Helen and Daniel?” Anthony eyed me coldly.

“Oh, Daniel and I were childhood friends.I met Helen through him.We’re also friends.”

As I spoke, I forced a smile, hoping to convince him.

“Mandy! If you really view me as a friend, why are you framing me? You gave the perfume to me!” Helen yelled.

“No, I didn’t!” I said falteringly.

Fuck this bitch.

She always spoiled my plans! Instantly, my jealousy and rage rose up again.

Gritting my teeth, I pointed at her and cried, “I really don’t know anything about it.Helen, why are you trying to sling

mud at me?”

Helen’s POV:

I used to despise Mandy.

Ever since we arrived at the Black Stone Pack, she had pestered Daniel and tried every means to ruin our

relationship.

But sometime later, Mandy had shown remorse for her actions and acted kindly towards me.

I really thought she had changed, so my hatred towards her gradually ebbed.

After all, she had apologized time and time again.

Hence, I thought nothing of it when Mandy gifted me the perfume as a peace offering.

Little did I know that it was a trap! Even to this day, I couldn’t figure out why Mandy would do such a thing.

Killing Alpha was an unforgivable crime.Didn’t she know that?

“Mandy, I swear with my life that I’m not lying.You gave me that perfume.If this is a lie, then God may punish me!”

Seeing that Mandy kept denying the facts in front of Anthony and Jennifer, I grew so angry that I stepped forward

and pointed at the perfume.

“Can you swear to God that you didn’t do it, Mandy?”

“Forget it, honey.Don’t waste your time on her.She’s just an unreasonable she-wolf.” Daniel walked over and took

my hand to calm me down.

“We’ll find out the truth sooner or later.Mandy will get the punishment she deserves.”

“Why, you bitch!”

All of a sudden, Mandy lost it and shrieked hysterically.

She pointed a trembling finger at me, eyes wide with rage.

“Fuck you! You’re making things up! You slut, you seduced Daniel! I’ll kill you! Daniel, what makes you think I’m

unreasonable? I didn’t lie.Helen’s the liar!”

“Mandy, you are crazy!”

I was so offended that I scolded her.

“Mandy, watch your mouth.How dare you insult Helen?”

Daniel stepped in between us, looking at Mandy with disdain.

“Daniel! Why are you on that bitch’s side? Why?” Mandy cried crazily.

“I’m just being fair, Mandy.” Daniel raised his voice.

“I already told you that I only love Helen.Why are you so stubborn?”

“Bitch! You fucking bitch! You’ve put Daniel under some sort of curse! Give him back to me!” Mandy shrieked like a

madwoman.

Suddenly, she broke free from the guards and rushed at me with her claws out.

“Fine! You’re the awesome she-wolf! You’ve managed to seduce so many men! Even the king is tempted by you! I

guess I have no choice but to kill you!”

I was so shocked by her vulgar words that I stood there, paralyzed, as she came straight at me.I didn’t mind so

much if she insulted me, but now she dared to slander Anthony, claiming he was only helping me because he liked

me.

Mandy’s words humiliated not only Anthony and me, but also marred his relationship with Jennifer.

I was so angry that my whole body trembled.I pointed at Mandy with gritted teeth, unable to find the words to

refute.

“You…”

Before I could finish my words, Mandy had already pounced on me.I was caught off guard and received a heavy

slap from her.

All chaos broke loose.

“Protect Helen! Put her under control!”

Anthony immediately ordered the guards to stop Mandy, but she was half mad.

She pulled at my hair and scratched at me relentlessly.

I raised my hand to protect my face, but I didn’t want to hurt anyone else, so I didn’t fight back.

“Helen!” Daniel cried and was about to rush to me but Betty stopped him.

“Daniel, don’t.It’s too dangerous.Let the guards handle it!”

Betty shouted worriedly.

“Helen!”

But before the guards could subdue Mandy, Jennifer had rushed over first.

She shoved Mandy away and stepped in between us.

“Mandy, are you crazy? Do you know how serious a crime it is to hurt someone in front of the prince?”

Jennifer tried her best to talk some sense into Mandy, but the latter had gone completely crazy and refused to listen

to reason.

Instead, she glowered at Jennifer and shoved her.

Not expecting the sudden attack, Jennifer slipped and fell to the floor.

“Oh, my God! Jennifer!”

I screamed hysterically and rushed to her side, worry written all over my face.

“Are you hurt?”

“Jennifer!”

Anthony hurried to Jennifer in lightning speed and helped her up.

“Are you okay?”

“You’re crazy, Mandy! Jennifer is pregnant!”

Anthony turned to glare at Mandy murderously.

“Mandy, if anything bad happens to Jennifer, I’ll kill you.”

Trembling with unprecedented rage, I turned to lock eyes with Mandy.
