Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Austin’s POV: 

Caroline’s voice was so beautiful.I listened to her sing, completely and utterly fascinated.I thanked God for letting

me meet such a charming girl.I loved Caroline like crazy.I really hoped that we would be together for the rest of our

days.

Every day, we got along well with each other, and I felt as though my love for her just kept growing.

She was my treasure and it was thanks to her that I had let go of my dark past.

“Caroline, you’re the best singer in the world.” I excitedly reached for her hand and kissed her on the cheek.

“Stop it, Austin.Jennifer and Mom are right there!” Caroline’s cheeks turned bright red.

“So what? You’re my wife,” I said proudly, puffing out my chest like a peacock.

“Caroline, it’s clear to see that Austin really loves you.You must be very happy,” Jennifer said with a chuckle.

Her words made me very light up inside.

“You’re right, Jennifer.You’ve seen through me.You and Anthony must be happy too, right? I know that he’d do

anything to take care of his mate.I actually wish he was here right now.” I said this casually, but Elizabeth

immediately perked up.

“Don’t worry, Austin.There might be a chance in the future.”

I was a little surprised, but I didn’t think too much.

Anthony was a kind and open-minded lycan, and Caroline was his sister.I figured he would probably visit us sooner

or later.

“That sounds great,” I said politely.

“Could you pass a message to him? Please tell him that I’m grateful to him and that I miss him very much.”

If it were in the past, I’d have been caught dead saying such sweet words.But now, I didn’t mind saying so.Maybe

Caroline had changed me.

“I’m sure he’ll be happy to hear that,” Elizabeth said with a big smile.

“Jennifer, let’s take a photo to remember this moment! ” Caroline looked at Jennifer expectantly.

“And when you go back, you can show it to Anthony.”

“Good idea, Caroline,” Jennifer replied with a smile, already fishing her phone out of her pocket.

“Come and sit here.Austin, hold Caroline in your arms.”

I nodded obediently and sat next to Caroline, wrapping my arms around her.Jennifer raised her phone and leaned

towards Elizabeth so that we could all fit in the frame.

“One, two, three, smile!”

After a series of photos, Caroline and Jennifer crowded over her phone, browsing through the pictures we just took

with great interest.I couldn’t help but feel sigh happily when I saw them bonding so well.

“I’ll catch some fish for dinner!” I picked up the fishing net at the end of the boat.

“Since we have two esteemed guests joining us tonight, we need something nice and fresh.”

I threw the fishing net to the sea, sat down, and chatted with everyone.

At dusk, I stood up and began to pull the net back into the boat.To my surprise, we had gotten very lucky.I

announced proudly, “Look at this catch, everyone!”

Everyone crowded over the fishing net to see several plump fish, wriggling and hopping about.

Caroline lit up.

“You’re awesome, Austin!”

I took all the fish out of the fishing net and threw them into the cabin below deck.

“Well, it’s time to go back.It’s getting dark!”

Then, I came to the front of the boat and started the engine.

However, at this moment, a crisp, loud sound suddenly came from the sky.I was shocked and looked up in disbelief

at the cloudy sky.I could’ve sworn it was clear just a moment ago! 

“D**n it! A storm is coming!”

Caroline’s POV: 

What? A storm? When I heard this, I was stunned.The weather on the island ever since we moved here had been

stable.

How could a storm show up out of nowhere? I was scared out of my wits and didn’t know what to do.

The boat began to tip violently because of the sudden surging waves.

“Austin!” I shouted in fear.

“Grab onto something, Caroline!”

Austin shouted at me urgently.

He kept trying to get close to me, but whenever he stood up, the boat would shake so violently that Austin would fall

to his knees.

“Ah!”

Just then, I heard a high-pitched scream from beside me.

Before I could look back, a wave of salt water washed over me, filling up my throat and lungs.

The small boat was finally overturned by the waves.

“Austin!”

As soon as I resurfaced, I tried my best to shout as loud as I could, despite the dryness in my throat.I looked

desperately for Austin, regardless of myself.

Fortunately, he was a good swimmer.

His head suddenly popped out of the water and he swam towards me.

“Caroline, are you alright?” Austin asked with concern the second he got close.

“I’m fine.Where are Jennifer and Mom?” I looked around and found that they were nowhere to be seen.

Panic seized me instantly.

Oh, my God! Where did they go? Were they swept away by the waves? The stormy sea was violent and relentless.

Oh, my God! If they were swept away, then…I didn’t dare to finish that thought.

If Jennifer and my mother had come all this way to visit me and Austin but suffered an unfortunate fate, I wouldn’t

be able to live with myself.

And poor Anthony! He would probably go crazy.I couldn’t allow that to happen.I gritted my teeth and started to

swim forward.

“Austin, we need to find them!” Austin nodded.

He raised his head and scanned the horizon.

“I think I saw Jennifer,” he suddenly shouted.

“She was swept over by the waves!”

I took a deep breath and said, “Austin, go and save Jennifer.She’s pregnant and might not be able to swim to the

shore.I’m going to find Mom!”

After saying that, I didn’t spare any more time with Austin anymore.

I stretched out my limbs and turned into a wolf, swimming towards the boat as fast as I could.

With four limbs, I could swim at a much faster speed.I swam around the boat and soon found Elizabeth floating in

the water with her eyes closed, as if she had been knocked out.

No! I immediately howled at the sky and quickly swam towards her.I opened my mouth and clamped down onto the

collar of Elizabeth’s blouse so that I could pull my mother onto my back.

Then, I swam towards the shore as fast as I could.

All the while, I prayed that my mother would be fine.I had already lost my parents.I couldn’t afford to lose her.

When I made it back to the shore, I saw Austin nearby.

When he saw me, we both transformed back into our human form.

We gently lay Jennifer and my mother on the beach together.

Fortunately, Elizabeth showed signs of waking up, coughing and retching, but Jennifer’s face was pale and almost

lifeless.I shouted urgently, “Austin! Jennifer needs CPR!”

Austin nodded.

“Let’s do it.” Jennifer was in really bad condition.

We didn’t dare to waste one more second.

Austin and I quickly knelt down on either side of her and took action.

Austin began to press her chest in beats, while I bent over to give Jennifer artificial respiration, not daring to

hesitate at all.

Fortunately, our efforts were not in vain.

After a while, Jennifer suddenly retched and spat out a lot of sea water.I was so happy that I nearly wept.

Oh, my God! Thank you!

 “Jennifer…What’s wrong? What happened to her?”

Now that my mother was awake, she crawled over to us as quickly as possible, worry written all over her face.

“Mom, don’t worry.Jennifer is okay now.But we’d better take her home just in case,” I explained hurriedly, putting

my hand on hers.

Mother nodded with a long face.

“Okay, okay, let’s go!”

Austin was the strongest among us, so he carried Jennifer on his back and ran towards the wooden house.

Elizabeth, with my support, and I followed closely behind.

Not long after, we finally made it back to the wooden house.

When my mother’s attendants and maids saw us, they immediately knew that something was wrong and all came

to help.

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! We had made it back in one piece.

But just as I began to rest easy, everything suddenly went black.
