OUTCAST: THE ALPHA KING’S BELOVED - Season 1 Episode 84

Jennifer’s POV:

“Do you smell that?” I grabbed Dylan’s arm urgently.

“Dylan, do you smell something off?” Dylan frowned and glanced around.

“Yeah, I’m picking up a faint scent.I caught a whiff of it ever since we got out of the hotel.There were

so many werewolves in the area, so I didn’t think much of it.But now that I can still smell it, even in

such an empty place, I do feel that something’s off. ” His expression darkened.

“Jennifer, do you think someone’s following us?”

“Exactly!” I nodded solemnly, scanning our surroundings carefully to see if I could spot our stalker.

Suddenly, a beautiful girl emerged.She seem to come out of nowhere, which took us aback.She

was wearing a pink shirt and black jeans.

Her golden curly hair was shining in the sunlight, framing her face pleasantly.

A warm, friendly smile was on her face, which made me feel like she wasn’t hostile.

“Hi, my name’s Helen.I’m a she-wolf from the Rainbow Pack.Are you looking for Elder Tony? I’m

sorry, but I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.Elder Tony passed away a long time ago.”

The girl greeted us with a smile.My eyes went wide with shock.

“Elder Tony is dead? How?”

“This is not a good place to talk.Let’s go somewhere else.”

Helen patted me on the shoulder reassuringly.

“If you believe me, come with me.By the way, Elder Tony’s death is a bit of a mystery, so you’d

better be careful who you talk to.You might attract some unwanted attention.”

“Thank you, Helen.” I nodded to her gratefully.

“We’ll be careful.”

By now, I was sure it was Helen who had been following us.

Although we had never met before, I felt like I could trust her.

Perhaps it was her enthusiasm and cheerful disposition that brought me to believe in what she was

saying.

While I didn’t know why she followed us, she didn’t look like she had any ulterior motives, and even

offered up some information about Tony.

Plus, even if she wanted to hurt us, we outnumbered her.

She didn’t stand a chance.

After discussing, we decided to follow her.

Helen led us to a private room in a cafe.

When all of us were inside, she shut the door cautiously.

The way she acted made me wonder if there was more to Tony’s death.

“Helen, you can trust everyone in this room. You can talk freely now,”

I said, sinking on the sofa. I looked up and smiled at her.

“We haven’t been properly introduced.I’m Jennifer.This is my brother Dylan.The other two are my

friends, Skylar and Daniel.”

“You’re Jennifer?” Helen exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yeah.Why? What’s wrong?” I looked at her in confusion.

How did she know my name?

“No, nothing.You just have a nice name, that’s all.”

Helen smiled and changed the topic.

“So, Jennifer, why are you looking for Elder Tony?”

“We want to ask him some questions.Elder Tony was known to be good at predicting the future.But

I’m sure you already knew that.”

When Helen heard my name, she reacted abnormally.I thought there might be a reason, but since

Helen didn’t want to tell me, I chose not to pry.

“I see.I’ll tell you everything I know.Alpha Arthur rules over our pack quite cruelly, and we have

grown very cautious.Elder Tony’s death was, in a word, odd.Not long after Arthur became the Alpha,

Elder Tony suddenly died.They said he had gotten sick out of the blue.But the strange thing is,

nobody knows where he was buried.It was like he disappeared into thin air.My father’s also an elder

of the Rainbow Pack, and he’s the one who told me all of this.He has a theory that that Elder Tony

might actually be alive, but that he’s afraid of Arthur, so he might never show himself ever again.”

Helen spoke frankly and openly.

“Elder Tony is afraid of Arthur? Why?” I frowned in confusion, trying to process everything Helen just

told us.

“I don’t know either.” Helen smiled helplessly.

“But I can go home and ask my father.”

“Helen, thank you so much for your help,” I said gratefully.

“We’ve never met before.Why are you telling us all of this?”

“Well, I haven’t been completely honest. My father and I were patrolling the streets today.He

happened to see you.Although he didn’t see you guys up close, he felt that you two, Jennifer and

Dylan, looked familiar, so he asked me to follow you.Please forgive me if I have offended you.My

father has been investigating Elder Tony’s case for years.When I heard that you were looking for

Elder Tony, I called you here.”

After saying that, Helen’s eyes lit up and she pointed at Daniel, who was sitting next to me.

“Actually, another reason why I was following you was because of this handsome werewolf.Hey,

handsome.It’s nice to meet you!”

Daniel’s POV:

I was surprised when Helen suddenly pointed at me.

When she first approached us earlier, I just thought she was good-looking, but I didn’t feel anything

more than that.

I was grateful when she offered to help us, but I still felt neutral towards her.

“Nice to meet you, too.” I awkwardly stuck out my hand to shake hers.

“Your name’s Daniel, right? Can I sit next to you?” Helen pointed at the seat next to me.

“Of course.” I scooted to the side immediately.

As Helen sat down beside me, I caught a whiff of her scent.My mind went blank and my cheeks

went red.

“You’re my type, Daniel,” she said bluntly, placing her hand on my shoulder.

“Do you have a mate? Or do you have crush on someone?” I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know

how to answer.

Jennifer cut in and answered her questions for me.

“No, he doesn’t have a mate.He’s single now.Helen, if you like Daniel, go for him! Daniel is gentle,

kind-hearted, cheerful, and generous.He is a heartthrob back at home!”

“Really? That’s great!” Helen broke into a huge grin.

“Daniel, I’m single too. I think we’re destined to be together.I like reading and painting.Do you have

any hobbies?”

“I like reading, too.I also research on art in my free time.”

I gradually grew comfortable and started chatting with her openly.

Surprisingly, we shared many similar hobbies and interests.

“I like Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings best, especially his Starry Sky and Sunflowers.Like him, I yearn

for freedom.My biggest dream is to travel around the world with the one I love.”

Helen looked at me meaningfully, her eyes filled with longing.We had so much in common.

There seemed to be countless topics we could talk about with ease. I think we could’ve talk for

days.

But alas, when the sun started to set, Helen got up to leave.

Before leaving, she got our contact details, promising to help us investigate Tony’s matter.

‘We’ll see each other again, Helen, ‘’ I thought.
