Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Ella's POV:

I never expected that Anthony had called me to come to him because of the incident with Skylar. He even asked me to leave Marge Island, saying that I didn't care about my companion'’s safety.

I felt like I would explode with anger.

Who the hell was Skylar? She was just an ordinary she-wolf from Black Stone Pack.

She didn't come from a noble background.

Why should we risk our lives to save her? However, Skylar was a good friend of Jennifer's. Maybe Jennifer was getting revenge on Skylar's behalf by badmouthing me in front of the prince. That bitch always used her face to her advantage.

It was disgusting to watch her seduce the prince.

I hated the fact that Skylar and Jennifer were so close.

But now that the prince had taken such a decision, what else could I do? I had no choice but to agree with him respectfully, saying that I would take the initiative to leave Marge Island.

But after leaving Anthony's castle, I grew angrier and angrier.

Why did I have to leave with my tail between my legs? How could I lose to Jennifer in such an embarrassing way? No, I would never admit defeat to her! I couldn't continue staying here against the prince's orders.

But since I had to suffer, I would make Jennifer suffer as well.

I went back to the dormitory with a sneer.

When I saw the she-wolves roaming around the dormitory building, I suddenly had an idea.

In the dead of the night, I went to the top floor of the dormitory building.

The corridors were dark and deserted.

Unnoticed by anyone, I destroyed the surveillance cameras in the dormitory building with a sledgehammer.

"He is my mate selected by Moon Goddess.Of course I like him."

Skylar smiled shyly, but then her face fell, and she lowered her head.

"But I don't think he likes me very much.Jennifer, I really want to see him now."

"Skylar, I will try my best to persuade Dylan to come to see you.What do you think?"

I asked, touching her head with a smile.

"Jennifer, you're the best friend ever!"

In her excitement, Skylar hugged me with so much force that we almost fell off the sickbed.

I smiled helplessly.

This girl was always so rash.

I was planning to stay the night at the hospital with Skylar.

After all, we had a lot to talk about.

The atmosphere in the ward was lively.

But at midnight, I received a call from Daniel that made my heart drop to my stomach

His voice sounded very anxious on the phone.

"Jennifer, where are you? Something bad has happened! The girls’ dormitory building is on fire. All the other girls ran out of the building except for you.Mr.Jones and his attendants rushed into the fire to look for you, but they haven't come out yet.Come back quickly!"

"What? He rushed into the fire?"

My heart jolted.

I told Daniel I'd be there right away and then hung up the phone before briefly explaining the situation to Skylar.

I was so anxious that I could barely speak.

Skylar looked at me worriedly, but I had to say goodbye to her in a hurry.

"Skylar, I'm sorry.lt's an emergency.I have to go right now.I'll come and visit you soon, okay?" "Go ahead, Jennifer,"Skylar urged.

"And don't worry, Mr.Jones will be fine."

I nodded, flung open the door of ward, and rushed back to the dormitory building as fast as I could. Outside the burning building of the girls’ dormitory, the werewolves gathered were discussing about the sudden fire.

Daniel and I pushed past them and searched for Anthony nearby, but there was no sign of him anywhere.

He and his attendants were probably still in the building, in the thick of danger.

The guards on Marge Island had arrived, but they were all busy trying to put out the fire.

I looked around in a panic.

Then, gritting my teeth, I pried open the lock of the fire hydrant, connected it to the fire-fighting hose, and rushed into the fire.

Thick smoke billowed past me, making me choke and cough incessantly.

I vaguely heard Daniel's voice yelling after me, but I couldn't turn back now.

I held the hose tightly and rushed toward my room.

As I moved, the water from the hose kept spraying in front of me, paving a path for me. Although the flames didn't graze me, I was still choked by the black smoke.

I probably looked disheveled now.

When I finally extinguished the fire outside the door of my room, I kicked the door open with a loud grunt.

The only thing in my mind was a desperate prayer for Anthony's safety.
